Free breakfasts for Delaware schoolchildren

The law takes effect immediately, with implementation beginning July 1, 2026. Delaware public schools in the federal School Breakfast Program must offer every attending student free breakfast, regardless of household income. Schools using the Community Eligibility Provision or Provision 1, 2, or 3 are excluded; their existing arrangements remain unchanged. Each budget year, Delaware's Department of Education reimburses schools at the federal free breakfast rate times breakfasts served, minus federal breakfast reimbursements received. State reimbursement covers no more than one breakfast per student per breakfast meal service.
