Breakfast

What is the School Breakfast Program?

The School Breakfast Program is a federally assisted meal program. It began as a pilot project in 1966, and was made permanent in 1975.  The School Breakfast Program is administered at the Federal level by Food and Nutrition Service.  At the State level, the program is usually administered by State education agencies, which operate the program through the agreements with the local school food authorities.  All Anne Arundel County Public Schools offer school breakfast since 1976.

How does the School Breakfast Program operate?

The School Breakfast Program operates in the same manner as the National School Lunch Program. Anne Arundel County Public Schools receives cash subsidies from the U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA) for each breakfast meal they serve.  In return, they must serve breakfasts that meet Federal Nutrition Standards.
