Free meals provided for all students this year

by | Aug 4, 2021 | Education, Latest

There’s still no such thing as a free lunch, even if stu­dents don’t have to pony up any money at the cafeteria this year.

The United States Depart­ment of Agriculture has issued extended waivers that will al­low schools to offer free meals — breakfast and lunch — to all students for the 2021-2022 school year. Typically, a stu­dent’s household income must adhere to eligibility require­ments to qualify for free or re­duced-price meals, but that is not the case this year. Classes begin Aug. 12 for Wylie stu­dents.
