Students who qualify for reduced-price meals now eat at the free price
What happened
With its 2026-27 meal prices, the board approved letting students who qualify for reduced-price meals get them at the free price. The food service director said the small cost was a hardship for some families. She expects federal reimbursement plus about seven more meals a day to cover the cost, and asked all families to fill out the meal application.
Why it matters to families
Families with reduced-price eligibility pay nothing for school meals, and filing the application matters even more.
