WHEREAS in 1975, the School Breakfast Program received permanent authorization from Congress which declared its intent that the program "be made available in all schools where it is needed to provide adequate nutrition for children in attendance" with priority consideration for those schools with a special need to improve the nutrition and dietary practices of children from low-income families; and WHEREAS studies show serving children breakfast at school significantly improves their cognitive or mental abilities, enabling them to be more alert, ability to maintain a healthy weight, and achieve proficiency on standardized test scores; and WHEREAS research shows the simple act of eating school breakfast can dramatically change a child's life, resulting in higher test scores, calmer classrooms, fewer trips to the nurse, and better attendance and graduation rates; and WHEREAS breakfast consumption is also associated with other healthy lifestyle factors, and a University of Michigan study found children who do not consume breakfast are more likely to be less physically active and have a lower cardio respiratory fitness level than those students who exhibit habitual school-day breakfast consumption; and WHEREAS children who receive breakfast at school avoid chronic absenteeism, experience fewer health problems associated with hunger, such as dizziness, lethargy, stomachaches and ear aches, and perform significantly better than their peers who do not receive breakfast at school in terms of cooperation, discipline and inter-personal behaviors; and WHEREAS the School Breakfast Program has potential long-term economic benefits such as students who attend class on a regular basis are 20% more likely to graduate from high school, in addition, high school graduates typically earn $10,000 more per year and enjoy a 4% higher employment rate; and WHEREAS a study sponsored by the United States Department of Agriculture Economic Research Service found that elementary school-age students are more likely to participate in the School Breakfast Program when they come from lower income households; and WHEREAS in addition to recognizing School Breakfast Week in Oakland County the Board of Commissioners champions efforts to advance the quality of life for residents and families in Oakland County by investing in programs like the Oakland County School Breakfast Program in partnership with United Way for Southeastern Michigan. NOW THEREFORE BE IT RESOLVED that the Oakland County Board of Commissioners hereby declares March 4-8, 2019 as School Breakfast Week in Oakland County and encourages the support and utilization of the federally assisted School Breakfast Program for the sc sol hildren of Oaklatil Co. ty.
