  WHEREAS, Pupils who are eligible for 
assistance represent 51.4 percent of the school lunch meals 
served and 74.1 percent of the breakfast meals served; and
  WHEREAS, These figures are projected to 
increase in the future because of the large number of 
families moving to Nevada; and
  WHEREAS, The Department of Education of the 
State of Nevada oversees the Child Nutrition Programs which 
administer six federal programs that are entirely supported 
by the United States Department of Agriculture; and
  WHEREAS, The Nevada School Food Service

school nutrition personnel, providing continuing education 
classes on nutrition for teachers, developing promotional 
materials and disseminating scientifically valid information 
to teachers, parents, school food service personnel and

  RESOLVED BY THE ASSEMBLY OF THE STATE OF NEVADA, THE

Association for their efforts in the successful 
dissemination of nutritional information to all persons 
involved in the health of our children; and be it further
