HB 2796 West Virginia House of Delegates · 2025 Regular Session

Relating to codifying the guidelines for nutritionally adequate school breakfasts and lunches

HB 2796 establishes state standards for school breakfasts and lunches to align with federal nutrition guidelines, requiring all West Virginia school districts to provide meals meeting USDA-defined "nutritionally adequate" criteria, including limits on added sugar and sodium. It mandates elementary schools to adopt approved breakfast delivery systems (like Breakfast in the Classroom) and implement the "Feed to Achieve" initiative, which aims to offer free healthy meals to all elementary students where feasible using community donations and funding. The bill also requires schools to track meal participation and report annually to state legislative committees on the initiative's impact and effectiveness.
