When students are hungry, they can’t focus and they struggle to learn. The Breakfast After the Bell bill, will improve students’academic achievement, attendance, and mental and physical health by ensuring that more children in California, particularly those served by high-need schools, have access to school breakfast. This CFPA-sponsored bill will increase access to school breakfast through a series of pragmatic changes that align with school and student need, making the most efficient use of existing state and federal funds.
