Introduction

Every child
should start the school day with a balanced
breakfast, but a startling number of children
in New York State (NYS) do not.
Children who experience hunger are at a physical, academic and social
disadvantage.1 The School Breakfast Program (SBP) provides a vital nutritional
support to children who arrive at school hungry.2 School breakfast is a readily
available, federally-funded resource to address child hunger, yet it has been
consistently underutilized in NYS.
Hunger is a constant reality for 884,170 children throughout the state.3
Between 2008 and 2012, on average, 23.6% of all NYS households with
children experienced times when their family did not have enough money
to buy food that they needed.4 The majority of students attending NYS
public schools live in households with incomes near poverty level, with 62%
of students qualifying for free and reduced-priced (F/RP) school meals.5
School breakfasts role in reducing hunger, bolstering student success,
and improving health is critical. That is why, each year, Hunger Solutions
New York analyzes participation in the SBP using data from the New York
State Education Department (NYSED). Our findings demonstrate persistent
low participation among students from low-income households.
The SBP oers schools the opportunity to ensure students are well nourished
and prepared to learn. Inadequately leveraging the SBP to address child hunger
is a missed opportunity to fortify students health and nutrition, which are
vital to student success. Furthermore, when students who qualify for F/RP
school breakfast do not participate in the program, schools cannot leverage
the federal funding tied to each meal served.
Its just really important to make sure NYS can improve participation in the SBP by taking some key action steps.
Ensuring that all childrenespecially children from low-income households
the kids eat, because theres a lot of things eat school breakfast each day will help bolster the success of students in

in the world that make them worry, and our public schools, improve the health and wellbeing of children, while also
drawing down federal resources to address child hunger.

we have the ability to feed them.

an ambitious, but achievable, goal of reaching 70 free and reduced-price-eligible students
with breakfast for every 100 participating in lunch. For this report, we calculated the federal
dollars lost in NYS during the 2015-2016 school year as a result of our schools failing to
meet that goal.
Hunger Solutions New York has been tracking participation in breakfast through the
methods detailed above since the 2007-2008 school year. In addition to comparing
breakfast to lunch participation, for this report, we analyzed breakfast participation in
schools utilizing a federal provision, to ascertain the impact of oering universal school
breakfastproviding free breakfast to all students. (see below) While federal provisions
used to oer free breakfast are captured in NYSED data, a mechanism has yet to be put
into place to track schools that use non-pricing to provide free meals and those that oer
alternative breakfast service models. (see next page) This report highlights school districts
that are having great success with reaching low-income students with school breakfast, to
analyze the impact of widespread implementation of universal school breakfast coupled
with alternative service models and their impact on breakfast participation.

As a result, in the 2015-16 school year, an additional 24,697 students, on average, each

breakfast participation Hunger Solutions New York has seen since our organization began
tracking this information. NYC public schools accounted for half of the statewide growth
in school breakfast participation during the 2015-16 school year.

Meanwhile, the district carefully inspected its direct certification data to identify all Dr. Roberto Padilla, Superintendent,

of CEP is dependent on that information. The percentage of those students in individual
schools and/or the district is what determines reimbursement under CEP. In order for
Newburgh to maximize the districts reimbursements under CEP, their food service direc-
tor needed to compare their enrollment list to the direct certification database
export, line-for-line, to ensure each eligible student was accounted for. Thanks to the
due diligence of the district, districtwide CEP was instituted in the 2016-2017 school year.
While Newburgh has had tremendous success with increasing breakfast participation,
the district plans to continue to implement innovative ways to increase breakfast access,
especially in their middle and high schools. The growth in participation during the 2015-
2016 school year resulted in excess revenue, after years of having a program that ended
each year with a negative budget. The additional funds allowed the district to further
improve its breakfast program in the 2016-2017 school year by adding more vending
machines in the high schools. The district plans to redesign a student lounge to include
a coee-shop-style grab and go area, to provide high-school students with a reimbursable
breakfast that includes a hot drink and baked goods made from scratch.

Conclusion

Hunger remains an unacceptable reality for one in four NYS households with children.
Children who experience hunger lack a fundamental building block to health and academic
success. The SBP oers a way to ensure childrenespecially those from low-income
householdseat a healthy breakfast each day. However, the key findings of this report
demonstrate that the program is consistently underutilized and that NYS is failing to
reach our most vulnerable children with school breakfast.
Fewer than one in three students who qualified to eat F/RP breakfast participated in the
SBP during the 2015-2016 school year. In addition, low breakfast participation among
F/RP-eligible students led NYS to forfeit millions of dollars in federal reimbursements.
NYS must make increasing SBP participation a priority. That can be accomplished in a
variety of ways: through the eorts of school leaders, through the implementation of
federal- and state-level policy and legislative solutions, and through incentivizing the
best practices discussed in this report.
The action steps in this report detail initiatives schools, federal and state agencies,
and legislative ocials can take to improve statewide school breakfast participation.
Our report findings show there was an increase in breakfast participation during the 2015-
2016 school year, in comparison to the previous school year. That growth was concentrated
in schools that oered universal school breakfast through CEPa federal option that allows
high-poverty schools to oer free school meals to all students. Notable growth also occurred
in schools that oered universal breakfast in conjunction with alternative breakfast service
models. The combination of those strategies is recognized as the most eective way to
increase school breakfast participation. All schools, especially those eligible for CEP, are
urged to implement both.
Hunger Solutions New York works to ensure every public school student has access to
school breakfast. Our organization provides school districts with tools, resources and one-
on-one support to help maximize the SBPs reach and to help ensure every student starts
the school day free from hunger, properly nourished and prepared for a day of learning.
