The 2022 annual School Breakfast Program survey of elementary schools has been completed. The purpose of this survey is to determine the level of interest in a school breakfast program in the districtís elementary schools.† There is a mandate from New York State requiring school districts to offer breakfast in their elementary schools unless a survey of parents indicates a lack of interest in a breakfast program.††42% of the surveys were completed and returned.† Only 18% of Munsey Park respondents and 9% of Shelter Rock respondents indicated their children would eat breakfast in school on a regular basis if the program was available. In order for the State to grant a waiver to the School Breakfast Program, we must have a response rate of at least 33% with at least 80% of those responses indicating a lack of interest in the breakfast program. Based on the responses received, Manhasset Union Free School District intends to apply for a waiver for the school breakfast program for the 2022/2023 school year.††This issue was placed on the April 13, 2022 Board of Education Agenda.† For more information, parents are asked to call the Manhasset Schoolsí Business Office at 267-7723.†
