IN RE: BOARD OF COMMISSIONERS — RECOGNITION OF SCHOOL BREAKFAST WEEK IN
OAKLAND COUNTY — MARCH 8 - 12, 2021
To the Oakland County Board of Commissioners
Chairperson, Ladies and Gentlemen:
WHEREAS beginning as a pilot in 1966, today 14 million students in America receive a nutritious breakfast
each day through the School Breakfast Program; and
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, to maintain a healthy weight, and to 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 earaches, 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 8 - 12, 2021 as School Breakfast Week in Oakland County and encourages the support and
utilization of the federally assisted School Breakfast Program for the school children of Oakland County.
Chairperson, I move the adoption of the foregoing resolution.
