A new pilot program will offer all Detroit Public Schools students free breakfast, lunch and snacks starting this fall. Michigan is one of three states selected to participate in the U.S. Department of Agriculture program.
Kisha Verdusco is spokeswoman for the Detroit Public Schools.
"The plan is to roll this out nationally across the country. We are among the first, and more states will be added each year, and in the year 2014 to 2015 the entire nation will have this program."
Other Michigan school districts can qualify for the program if 40 percent of their students are from low income families.
