The free breakfast program was one of Clark County School Superintendant Jesus Jara's pledges during his State Of The Schools address back in January.
CCSD’s universal free breakfast model will continue throughout the school year and will be a self-sustaining program through a federal subsidy received based on the number of meals served.
Breakfast offered by the CCSD Food Service Department features selections that meet federal nutrition guidelines. Research shows that student participation in school breakfast has led to improved academic performance, reduced behavioral problems and improved nutritional status.
