Question of the Week – July 24th

Share this story

Every morning, over 90,000 schools and institutions serve school breakfast. These breakfasts serve over 14 million students. For almost 12 million of those students, these breakfasts are completely free. Although students have the option for breakfast at school, it doesn’t mean they are always taking it. In fact, recent research shows that nationally nearly 60% of high school students skip breakfast regularly. 

Last week, we published an article on Tabari Wallace. He was the NC Principal of the Year for 2018 and has demonstrated leadership in multiple areas at his home school — West Craven High School. One of those areas was his school’s decision to create a “second-chance” breakfast program by moving breakfast 90 minutes later in the day.
