Students need breakfast
More kids are eating breakfast at school across the U.S., but Washington lags in reaching low-income children, according to two new analyses by the Food Research and Action Center (FRAC) released this week.
An average of 11.2 million low-income children ate a morning meal each day at school during 2013-14 nationwide, an increase of 320,000 children from the previous school year, according to FRAC.
Washington only reached 44.2 percent of eligible low-income children, the report states.
