The Juneau School Board is currently deliberating the future of its free breakfast program, a decision that could impact many students in the district. As the board reviews its budget, it faces the challenge of balancing the continuation of this popular initiative against a list of potential staff positions and other programs that may be reinstated.
The free breakfast program has been a vital resource for many families, ensuring that students start their day with a nutritious meal. However, with budget constraints looming, the board must carefully assess the financial implications of maintaining the program.
Members of the board have expressed the importance of considering the needs of the community and the potential consequences of cutting such a program.
