Bill overview
This bill expands the state’s school breakfast program to include all public schools in New Jersey that have at least five percent of their students eligible for free or reduced-price meals. Currently, schools with five percent eligibility must offer a school lunch program, but only those with 20 percent eligibility are required to offer a school breakfast program. The bill outlines a process for schools to establish breakfast programs, including submitting plans to the Department of Agriculture and potentially utilizing a model plan if a district fails to submit a plan. It also allows for waivers in certain circumstances and ensures state funding for the program.
