Bismarck\u00a0 (Every student is eligible for free breakfast and lunch daily, independent of income level. Free meals are set to continue through December 31st<\/sup>, 2020 or until USDA funding is no longer available. All families will automatically receive free meals as long as the program is active and need not take any action to receive this benefit.<\/p>\n As the special funding for this program does have the potential to end unexpectedly, families are strongly encouraged to continue to complete free and reduced meal applications for this school year. Completing an application not only ensures your students receive free school meals without interruption, they also directly impact important school funding sources.<\/p>\n Menus will continue to include your same favorite entree and salad bar choices. Ala Cart and Super Sizing will also continue to be available for purchase at the Jr\/Sr High School.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n These meals will be made available as late as December 31, 2020 or until the available federal funding is exhausted.<\/p>\n Lech says, \u201cThis is a great development for our kids and families. We are very pleased with this decision.\u201d<\/p>\n The available meals include breakfast and lunch for all students, either virtual or in-person, and includes \u201cto-go\u201d pickups. Extra milks, ala carte items, and super-size entrees will still be charged to the individual account.<\/p>\n Current funds in a student account can be held for when charges to meals resumes.
