"I'd like to hear the reason why those schools don't have a breakfast program," Malloy said.

As I remember CT has population that is fairly well off.

Maybe these kids’ parents are wealthy enough to feed them at home or get them breakfast at a restaurant on the way to school. Why have school breakfast program that serves few or no kids.

That used to be the case. CT used to have the highest per capita income......sadly, now we are the most taxed, lowest performing state, high unemployment, with kids on the lowest level of education performance.

We have a colossal 33.5% poverty rate in the city of Hartford, making it the second poorest city in the United States..yada, yada.

I went to school in a middle/upper-middle class town in CT. Graduated in the early 2000s. It probably wasn’t considered a “breakfast” by the state, but since the workers had to be their early to get ready for lunch they served bagels with assorted toppings, mini-cereal boxes, fruits and milk. The school didn’t have a scheduled “breakfast” period but before classes or if upper class men study hall was in the cafeteria and you could get food.
