Letter to the State Superintendent - Kids learn better if they are not hungry

The Maryland Budget and Tax Policy Institute is one of 24 organizations to sign this letter asking the state Department of Education to embark on a multi-year commitment to provide free breakfast funding for all the schools that qualify.  Also see our "Monday Message" on school breakfast from the 2012 legislative session. The $1.8 million we are requesting for the upcoming budget amounts to 5/1000 of one percent of the state budget.
