"FORT WORTH — Principal Marion Mouton has always stored snacks and dry cereal in his office at Sunrise-McMillian Elementary School. Many times when a student came to him for discipline problems, it was because the child was hungry.
This year his school is one of four in the Fort Worth district participating in a free program that offers breakfast to each of his 450 students, most of whom are economically disadvantaged.
The change at his school has been remarkable, Mouton said. 'Discipline problems are down, and student focus is up,' he said."
