What are the nutritional requirements for school breakfasts?
School breakfasts must meet the applicable recommendations of the Dietary Guidelines for Americans which recommend that no more than 30 percent of an individual’s calories come from fat, and less than 10 percent from saturated fat. In addition, breakfasts must provide one‐fourth of the Recommended Dietary Allowance for protein, calcium, iron, Vitamin A, Vitamin C and calories. The decisions about what specific food to serve and how they are prepared are made by our district Nutritionist and Director of Nutrition Services.
How do children qualify for free and reduced price breakfasts?
Any child attending school may purchase a meal through the School Breakfast Program. Children from families with incomes at or below 130 percent of the Federal poverty level are eligible for free meals. Those with incomes between 130 percent and 185 percent of the poverty level are eligible for reduced‐price meals. Children from families over 185 percent of poverty pay full price.
What is included in a school breakfast meal?
A breakfast meal includes an entrée, milk, and a piece of fresh fruit. In order for a student’s breakfast to be counted as a free, reduced price, or complete meal, they must take at least an entrée and one (1) other item (either milk or a piece of fruit).
