MEAL SERVICE PLAN FOR 2022-2023 SCHOOL YEAR

The USDA has discontinued its Pandemic Relief Universal FREE Meals to all students for the 2022-2023 school year. Due to the unavailability of free lunch, families will once again be eligible to apply for Free and Reduced Price Meals. 

Parents will now have to fill out a Free and Reduced Meal Application (see below) to qualify for free or reduced meals. If you qualify for FREE meals, then all meals will be FREE. See below for regular and reduced meal costs:

Notice to The Public regarding School Breakfast Programs

Section 3313.813 of the Ohio Revised Code requires public and community schools, in which at least 20% of the enrolled children are eligible for free meals, to implement school lunch and breakfast programs. According to data collected by the Ohio Department of Education, all Heath Schools meet this requirement. We offer breakfast and lunch in all of our buildings to support student access to healthy meals.

Refer to our Board Policy Manual for further information on our Wellness Policy [File: EFG]
