We’re going to provide universal free breakfast in our schools. Students can’t learn on an empty stomach. We're going to feed our kids.

A great start Governor, I would like to see lunch also provided. No child should be hungry in PA. Education staff know how difficult it is for children to focus attention on learning when they are hungry.

can’t believe the amount of people disagreeing on this. my only reservation is garbage, processed food made by the lowest bidder (probably Sodexo)…

Parents are supposed to feed their kids, not the government. Most parents do so. Is there a needs-based assessment applied? If not, why not? An assessment would identify families that need strategic assistance to get parents back on their feet while providing accountability.

As a Republican, not opposed to free breakfasts at school... but make it nutritious. And do not allow school lunchrooms to be a soup kitchen for parents and relatives as well. Fix those AC units and heaters too. And update those books. No students should be sharing books.

@rtdonovan11 Shame on us. In a country so rich, we have hungry children. This initiative shouldn’t even be a question.

Hey, PA, can TX borrow your GOV?

Please provide lunches to all students as well. If they have to be there, let’s make sure we feed them.

In my first year in office, we delivered universal free breakfast for our kids because no child should have to learn on an empty stomach. Don’t take it from me. Take it from a few Pennsylvania kids ready for breakfast:

Our kids deserve the best in this province. That’s why we’re building and upgrading schools across BC. In the Okanagan alone, we’ve built seats for 4400 students. We’re going to continue our work so that kids in BC have a high quality place to learn.

Kids can’t learn on an empty stomach. I say this as a classroom teacher who supervised the lunchroom for 20+ years. This school lunch was nutritious, filling, and free. Because in Minnesota, we will not allow our kids to go hungry.

Breaking: We’re going to court to keep the Dept of Ed from cutting $50m in education funding from our state - mainly hitting rural schools. It’s unlawful, and our students deserve better. Here’s the situation:

Parents are pulling their kids out of public schools, that’s a red flag. We have some of the highest levels of education funding, but our children still aren’t learning and our schools are some of the worst in the nation. This is Tina Kotek’s Oregon, she’s been falling students and parents, for almost four years, and we’ve had enough. When I’m Governor, we’re going to fix our schools and make sure funding goes to helping kids learn, not failed agendas and ideologies.
