Some Atlanta schools could soon be serving students three meals a day.

A recent survey of Atlanta teenagers found that a significant number were hungry, Superintendent Meria Carstarphen said during an appearance on WABE's "A Closer Look."

“That just blew my mind, that we have enough students registering in our survey to say that they don’t have that basic need met,” she said. “I do think it’s time for APS to move fully to breakfast in the classroom.”

School lunch has been standard for years. Some Atlanta schools started serving dinner in 2014.
