Previously, the USDA made it possible for school nutrition programs to serve all students free lunch through "waivers." This year congress did not extend these waivers for the upcoming school year, so we will go back to regularly priced lunch for $2.40.

Foster children that are under the legal responsibility of a foster care agency or court are eligible for free meals. Any foster child in the household is eligible for free meals regardless of income.

Children who meet the definition of homeless, runaway, or migrant qualify for free meals. If you haven't been told your children will get free meals, please call or e-mail your child's school to see if they qualify.
