California Food Policy Advocates recently shared information that there will be new funding available for school breakfast. In January 2017, the California Department of Education will announce the availability of state-funded grants to support the start-up or expansion of after-the-bell breakfast in high-poverty schools. By increasing access to school breakfast, these grants will support student health and academic achievement. As you wait for the grant awardee announcement in January, there are things you can do now. Learn more about the after-the-bell breakfast, share the factsheet about the after-the-bell breakfast grants, or visit the school meal analysis page to find school breakfast data for your community.
