Parents are working hard and commuting long hours.
Families are in a hurry to get to work and get to school and corners end up getting cut.
Too often that means kids miss breakfast. Woolsey's initiative, which gets under way this year, establishes pilot programs in six school districts across the country to make school breakfast available to all children regardless of income. The pilot program will be used to determine the need for a universal breakfast program nationwide. We owe it to our children to make sure they start the day off ready to learn. The pilot program application process is nearing completion, with three Sonoma County School Districts waiting to see if they will be participating.
