Since moving school breakfast into the classroom, Philadelphia’s H.A. Brown School has seen participation increase from 30 percent of students to more than 70 percent of students. Wayne Grasela, the school district’s senior vice president for food services, said the district has set a goal of 70 percent participation for its 220 schools. “We’re looking for alternative models to provide access to breakfast,” said Grasela.
