Requires certain public schools to offer breakfast after the bell
HB 1899 requires certain public schools in the state to offer breakfast after the school day officially begins but before lunch starts. This mandate applies to schools where at least 70% of students are eligible for free or reduced-price meals, though schools that already provide universal breakfast before classes start are exempt. The law allows schools flexibility in how they serve the meals, such as in the classroom or for pickup, and includes a two-year grace period for schools that later fall below the eligibility threshold. Additionally, the bill directs the state education department to provide guidance, track implementation data, and submit annual reports on the program's effectiveness.
