Information
The California Department of Education is accepting applications to the School Breakfast Program and Summer Meal Programs Start-up and Expansion program.
Funding is for nonrecurring expenses incurred in initiating or expanding a:
(1) School Breakfast Program (SBP), serving students in transitional kindergarten through grade twelve or
(2) Summer Meal Program (SMP), serving children and youth eighteen years of age and under during school breaks.
To qualify for SBP grants, at least 20 percent of enrolled students at the school site must be approved for free or reduced-price meals. To receive SMP grants, the site must meet program eligibility criteria. The Budget Act allows the California Department of Education (CDE) to award grants only to school districts, county offices of education, and direct-funded charter schools.
