Anchorage School District elementary school students will see changes to their lunch hours during the upcoming school year.
The new changes would guarantee elementary school students at least 20 minutes of lunchtime, starting from the moment they are served food.
The updated policy ensures all students in elementary school get the same time to eat. It also sets a standard across all district schools about how much time is allocated. Prior to this, the district said that times for lunch varied from school to school. The increase in time to eat will allow kids to have more brain power to get through the day, Lessens said.
Lessens said that class times will be rearranged throughout the day to make up for the added time for lunch.
