definition: The School Breakfast Program (SBP) was established in 1966 as a 2-year pilot program targeted for schools with children considered “nutritionally needy.” The program is a national program administered by the U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA). The program is usually administered by state education agencies, which coordinate the breakfast program through local school districts in more than 88,000 schools and institutions.
