Free meal waiver ends June 30, 2022

 Free meal waiver ends June 30, 2022



On August 31, 2020, the federal government announced free breakfast and lunch for all students in all districts across the nation until June 30, 2021. This waiver was extended until June 30, 2022.

The free meal waiver will not be extended past June 30, 2022. Effective September 2022, families will need to fill out a free and reduced meal form in order to receive free breakfast and lunch meal benefits for their children. Those families who do not qualify will need to pay for school meals. Starting September 7, 2022, meal prices will be as follows: K-12 breakfast: $1.80, K-12 lunch: $3.00.

If you submitted an application in 2021-2022 and were approved, your child will receive benefits until October 18, 2022. A new 2022-23 application must be submitted and approved to receive benefits after that date.

The 2022-23 Free and Reduced Meal Application will be available online this summer on the district website under Food Service and also will be inserted in the district calendar mailed to families in August. 

For more information, please call Administrative Assistant Donna Ziegler at 392-1000, ext. 2151 or Director of Food Service Scott Ziobrowski at 392-1000, ext. 2152.
