School
Breakfast Pilot Project
On May 15th, 2000, the U.S.
Department of Agriculture formally
announced the selection of six school
districts participate in the School
Breakfast Pilot Project. The
participants are:
- Harrison County School District -
Gulfport, Mississippi
- Independent School District of
Boise City - Boise, Idaho
- Santa Rosa City Schools - Santa
Rosa, California
- Shelby County Board of Education -
Columbiana, Alabama
- Washington Elementary School
District - Phoenix, Arizona
- Wichita Public Schools - Wichita,
Kansas
Many factors were considered when
reviewing the 386 applications that were
received. Some were explicitly stated in
the authorizing legislation, while
others were required in order to
maintain the integrity of the study
design, eliminate confounding variables,
and facilitate study implementation. The
selected sites provide a mix of rural,
suburban, and urban schools, with
varying family income levels.
If you have any questions, feel free
