					<description><![CDATA[Looking into the new school year 2022-2023 we will have changes to the lunch program.
We will no longer have any waivers under the USDA in place. We will have to start charging for the meals the students receive. We encourage all families to apply for the free and reduced price for school meals by filling out an application for it. Reduced meals are .30 cents for breakfast and .40 cents for lunch. We are approved for a Provision 2 program which provides free breakfast to the elementary and middle school only. Unfortunately the high school was not approved for this program, which means we will charge for breakfast. We are going to be charging $ 2.45 per breakfast and $ 2.55 per lunch for paid status. Please know our goal in the Child Nutrition program is to feed our kids.
