Bill Summary

For legislation relative to breakfast in the classroom. Education.

AI Summary

This bill seeks to amend the General Laws of Massachusetts to require all public K-12 schools with at least 60% of students eligible for free or reduced-price meals under the federal National School Lunch Program to offer all students a school breakfast after the instructional day has begun and the tardy bell rings. The bill allows schools to determine the specific breakfast service model, such as breakfast in the classroom, grab and go breakfast, or second chance breakfast. Time spent by students consuming breakfast in the classroom during instruction is considered instructional time. The State Department of Elementary and Secondary Education is tasked with developing implementation procedures and guidelines, collecting annual data on breakfast after the bell, and collaborating with nonprofit organizations to support schools in improving student access to school breakfast.
