According to Superintendent Bernard Bragen, families at these schools do not need to complete any paperwork to recieve free meals, and all students will receive free breakfast and lunch at no charge. Students who want a la carte items, such as ice cream, must either have money in their accounts or cash to pay for the item.
Families with students at other schools still need to complete the Free Reduced Price Meal application.
The Community Eligibility Provision is offered to schools determined to be eligible by the Virginia Department of Education.
“Programs like this one help reduce the number of students with food insecurity, and we’re excited to offer this program to our community,” Bragen said. “Thank you for celebrating this milestone with us.”
