Book excerpt: Abstract: The rationale and implementation of the federally funded School Breakfast Program for school children in Title 1 schools is described. Funds are distributed through State Education Depts. to participating schools; these funds make breakfasts meeting Federal nutrition standards available to all students, free or at a price dependent on family income. Title 1 schools for educationally-disadvantaged pupils are especially appropriate institutions fo school breakfast programs, since a lack of breakfast may contribute to poor academic achievement. Steps involved in starting a school breakfast program at a Title 1 school are described. Names and addresses of agencies are listed, including USDA Food and Nutrition Service and State Child Nutrition Program offices, which provide information on school breakfast programs.
