Universal breakfast

The editorial board is looking at writing about the Guilford County Schools policy of providing free breakfasts for all students at schools that have at least 70 percent of students receiving free or reduced lunches.

See this story for information on it.

While it seems like an altruistic idea, we're wondering why the kids whose parents can afford to pay for breakfast are also getting meals free, especially if the program, if fully taken advantage of, could end up costing the district $350,000?
