The board also voted to offer breakfast to elementary school students on a trial basis. Two years ago the school system tried a breakfast program at the high school. “It started great guns and then plopped,” Dr. Gangel said. “I am not certain that there are numerous students going to school without breakfast,” he said.
He recommended that the school division try the breakfast program for six weeks and then evaluate its success. The breakfasts will cost $.50. Those entitled to reduced price lunches will be able to buy breakfast for $.30, and those entitled to free lunch will be able to get breakfast free also, he said.
Breakfast will be served between 8 and 8:30 in the morning, with children buying breakfast being allowed to get off the buses early.
