Schools participating in the School Breakfast Program must inform families of the availability of breakfast. A notification of the availability of breakfast must be relayed prior to or at the beginning of the school year in the informational packets sent to households with free and reduced price meal applications for the new school year. Additionally, schools should send reminders regarding the availability of the School Breakfast Program multiple times throughout the school year.
All public schools with a 15% or higher free and reduced rate are required to operate the School Breakfast Program.
