Section 40. Exemptions

A public school, required by state regulation to provide the federally funded School Breakfast Program or like program, may apply for an exemption. Schools may petition the Board of Education for a waiver to the school breakfast program requirement after providing a breakfast program for four months. Such petition shall include documentation of the school administration's efforts to (i) encourage students to eat breakfast through bus and class scheduling and feasible access, (ii) provide information on the value of eating breakfast, (iii) determine from parents or guardians whether the school breakfast program is needed, and (iv) ascertain whether the program is cost effective in such situations. Waivers will apply only for the current and two subsequent school years.
