Summary
The bill amends the National School Lunch Act to give schools an extra 10 cents for each breakfast served after the start of the school day, but only if the school is in a district that receives special assistance or has at least 40% of students identified as low‑income. The additional funds are paid by the state education agency directly to the qualifying schools. The goal is to encourage "breakfast after the bell" models that can raise participation and improve student nutrition.
