The district provided meals earlier this summer through the U.S. Department of Agriculture’s Summer Food Service Program. Children ages 2-18 were eligible to receive breakfast and lunch at about 50 schools that were providing summer instruction, but had to eat on-site, according to the district’s website.

All students will be eligible for free school meals during the upcoming school year, which begins Aug. 8.
