25. PUBLIC HEARING ON A POLICY REGARDING UNIVERSAL FREE BREAKFAST PROGRAM
Description
Florida Statute Section 1006.06(5)(c) requires district School Boards to approve or disapprove a policy to offer universal free breakfast at all elementary, middle, and high schools with 80% or more students eligible for free or reduced price meals after hearing public testimony at two or more School Board meetings.  This is the second of two opportunities for the Board to receive public testimony on this issue.

Recommendation
Public Hearing   

26. POLICY ON UNIVERSAL FREE BREAKFAST PROGRAM
Description

Florida Statute 1006.06(5)(c) provides that each district School Board shall approve or disapprove a policy, after receiving public testimony concerning the proposed policy at two or more regular meetings, which makes universal-free school breakfast meals available to all students in each elementary, middle, and high school in which 80 percent or more of the students are eligible for free or reduced-price meals.  Staff recommends the School Board disapprove such a policy.  Universal free breakfast is an unfunded program which, if adopted, would represent an estimated annual expense of $45,500 to the district's Food and Nutrition Services program.  Additionally, a universal free breakfast policy is unnecessary at this time, as students approved for free or reduced priced lunches are automatically eligible to receive free or reduced priced breakfasts at all of our schools today.  Students who do not qualify for free or reduced lunch may also purchase breakfast at a very nominal fee.



Recommendation
The School Board disapprove a policy that would offer universal free breakfast at all elementary, middle and high schools with 80% or more students eligible for free or reduced price meals.
