Multiple logistic regression models account for clustering of schools within school districts and adjust for the school-level covariates of percentage of students eligible for free and reduced-price meals and whether a school was rural.

b

BIC=Breakfast in the classroom. BIC is where breakfast is served in the classroom.

c

Grab n’ go refers to schools indicating they have grab n’ go breakfast (students pick-up conveniently packaged breakfast items that can be eaten at other locations in the school) and/or satellite breakfast/breakfast kiosk (breakfast served away from cafeteria in high traffic location).

d

Second chance refers to schools indicating they have second chance breakfast (breakfast served after first period or another scheduled time later in morning for students who miss breakfast before school) or breakfast break (breakfast served after first period or another scheduled time later in morning).

e

BIC + grab n’ go refers to schools indicating they use both BIC and grab n’ go. With this combination of models, many schools have schools pick up their breakfast from a grab n’ go location and take it to the classroom to eat.
