Why aren't meals free to all students at my campus?

During the pandemic, schools were able to offer no cost meals to all students due to temporary program flexibilities provided by the federal government. These flexibilities have expired, and the U.S. Congress did not provide funding in this year’s budget to allow schools to serve free meals to all students in the 2022-2023 school year.

Your school nutrition team looks forward to serving healthy, balanced meals to every student in the new school year.
These meals offer a good source of nutrition for children.

Why are meals free to all at other campuses?

Certain campuses are eligible to participate in the Community Eligibility Provision (CEP). The CEP is a federally funded option that allows all students to eat breakfast and lunch during the school day for free.

Carrollton-Farmers Branch ISD Student Nutrition Department is proud to provide students healthy and delicious meals to promote student achievement. The management team serving our customers has successfully completed state and nationally recognized certification classes in food safety, food systems management and nutrition.

The Student Nutrition Department has approximately 240 employees working in 35 cafeterias, which serve just under one million breakfasts and over three million lunches to our students each year.
