Breakfast for all in 21 P.G. schools

Students at 21 Prince George’s County schools are eating complimentary breakfast in their classrooms — whether they qualify for free-and-reduced meals or not — thanks to a $670,000 grant program that kicks off Tuesday. School officials said Breakfast in the Classroom is ensuring that low-income students who qualify for free meals will actually take advantage of them: Just 43 percent of Prince George’s County Public Schools students who eat a free or reduced-price lunch are eating the free breakfast their school provides for them, according to a recent report.

More than half of P.G. students are eligible for free-and-reduced meals.
