ARGUMENTS IN SUPPORT: The author states, “In my district, the El Monte School District has been working closely with the No Kid Hungry campaign to implement universal breakfast programs to ensure every student can start their day with a nutritious meal. As a result, about 91% of students in the district are eating breakfast at school in the mornings. I hope that with this resolution, we can raise awareness of school breakfast programs and take greater advantage of the opportunity they offer to help our kids thrive academically and grow up healthy.”
