FREE BREAKFAST AVAILABLE FOR ALL STUDENTS IN MIAMI-DADE PUBLIC SCHOOLS


August 3, 2004


Miami-Dade County Public Schools’ Department of Food and Nutrition will offer breakfast at no charge to all students in school cafeterias district-wide.

The free breakfast is offered as part of the USDA’s National School Lunch and School Breakfast Program. The Florida Department of Education, which administers the program, reviewed data collected during the 2003-04 school year and determined that M-DCPS would be able to provide the breakfast benefit to all students. This is the first full school year that M-DCPS will offer breakfast at no charge to all students.

Further information may be obtained from the school system’s Department of Food and Nutrition at 786-275-0400.
