FREE STUDENT MEAL PROGRAM EXTENDED THROUGH JUNE 30, 2021

The USDA announced the extension of the Free Student Meal Program to allow all children free meals through June 30, 2021 or until funding is exhausted.

Therefore, beginning Thursday, September 10, 2020, EASD will make both breakfast and lunch meals available at no cost to all children age 18 and younger regardless of free/reduced lunch status. A child does not need to be a resident of EASD to receive a meal, nor do they need to be enrolled in the district as a student.
