Universal free breakfast survives budget cut proposal
What happened
Free breakfast for all students — added in fall 2025 with one-time state veto-override money — was slated for removal in the January FY27 budget direction ('transfer currently set to no'), then kept by board amendment at final adoption on March 10, 2026.
Why it matters to families
Every student keeps access to a free morning meal next school year; families would otherwise have returned to paying or qualifying individually.
The evidence
August 27, 2025 minutes record the program's creation from $1,542,285 in restored state funds; January 27 budget slides show the FY27 transfer set to 'no'; March 10 approved minutes record the amendment keeping it.
