(1) Subject to subsections (2) and (3) of this section, any school district that provides lunch at any school site shall make breakfasts accessible if 25 percent or more of the students at the site are eligible for free or reduced price lunches under the United States Department of Agriculture’s current Income Eligibility Guidelines or the school site qualifies for assistance under Chapter I of Title I of the federal Elementary and Secondary Education Act of 1965.
(2) The school district may apply to the State Board of Education for a waiver for all or for particular grade levels if it is financially unable to implement a breakfast program. The state board may grant a waiver to the school district for a period not to exceed two years, after which the school district must reestablish its claim of financial hardship if the waiver is to be extended.
(3) If the per meal federal reimbursement for the free and reduced price breakfast program falls below the 1991 reimbursement levels, a school district may elect to discontinue the program until federal funding is restored to those levels. No waiver is required for such election. [1991 c.500 §1]
