FREE AND REDUCED PRICE MODELS

Encourages Illinois schools participating in the School Breakfast Program, and schools with 70% or higher Free and Reduced Price meal eligibility in particular, to utilize alternative delivery models such as Breakfast in the Classroom and Grab n' Go to provide alternative breakfast models to all students. Acknowledges the importance of increasing participation in school breakfast in Illinois schools, and recognizes that establishing State requirements for schools to participate in alternative breakfast models is the most effective means to increase school breakfast participation. Urges the Illinois Commission to End Hunger's No Kid Hungry Working Group to provide the General Assembly with a report showing the impact of providing alternative breakfast models at all schools with an emphasis on schools that have 70% or higher Free and Reduced Price eligibility by November 4, 2015.
