Bill > ACR135

This concurrent resolution proclaims March 2, 2026, to March 6, 2026, as School Breakfast Week, recognizing the significant number of California children facing food insecurity and the low participation rates in school breakfast programs, particularly among low-income students who qualify for free or reduced-price meals. The resolution highlights the academic and behavioral benefits of school breakfast, such as improved concentration and reduced absenteeism, and notes the effectiveness of programs like "Breakfast After the Bell" in increasing participation. It also points to the potential financial benefits for school districts through federal reimbursements and emphasizes the critical role of state investments in ensuring students have access to nutritious meals, especially as federal nutrition programs face potential funding challenges.
