CARSON CITY, Nev. (AP) — Nevada Gov. Brian Sandoval is set to visit a Carson City elementary school to announce a plan to expand the school breakfast program.
The Republican governor first announced in his State of the State address that he would propose creating a $2 million program designed to expand school breakfasts throughout Nevada.
Sandoval will join his wife Kathleen and several agriculture department officials Wednesday at Empire Elementary School to launch a challenge aimed at ramping up participation.
The challenge will help participating schools by providing technical assistance and equipment to increase the number of breakfasts provided. Schools that see the largest gains will receive prizes when the challenge ends in the spring.
Nevada ranks 41st in the nation for school breakfast participation.
