Assemblymembers Bonta & Thurmond Introduce AB 1240
Improving Student Achievement
and Health through Innovative Improvements  to School Breakfast
 
Today, Assemblymembers Rob Bonta (Oakland) and Tony Thurmond (Richmond) introduced AB 1240, Breakfast After the Bell. The bill calls for practical changes that will improve access to school breakfast on thousands of campuses across the state, ensuring that more California kids are prepared to learn, grow, and achieve each school day. AB 1240 takes a bold step to accelerate academic success, revitalize the severely under-utilized school breakfast program, and more effectively manage existing funds.
   
CFPA is proud to sponsor AB 1240 and is very excited to be working with Assemblymembers Bonta and Thurmond to help students in every corner of our state do and be their very best. Read more here.
