The Chicago Tribune (3/24, Eng, Hood) reports, "In January, the Chicago Board of Education passed a blanket mandate requiring free breakfast to be served in all elementary school classrooms during the first 15 minutes of the day. Since then, hundreds of parents have signed petitions and sent letters objecting, including those who fear their children would be exposed to life-threatening foods" due to allergies. According to the Tribune, "Breakfast in the Classroom programs have been rolling out across the nation for several years now, but Chicago's mandate is the biggest, fastest and strictest in the nation."
