El Campo ISD to Offer Free Meals During 2021-2022 School Year

El Campo ISD announced its policy today that this school year, healthy meals will be offered every school day to all students at no cost. 

Typically, a student’s household must meet income eligibility requirements to qualify for free or reduced-price meals. However, the United States Department of Agriculture (USDA) issued guidance that allows schools to offer meals to all students at no cost for the 2021-2022 school year.

While no application or eligibility determination is required for our students to receive free meals this school year, income eligibility requirements will likely resume in the 2022-2023 school year. You can read more about that here: Media Release 2021-2022

Extra lunch entrees and a la carte items are not included with the no cost meals.

Media Release for Free and Reduced-Price Meals Community Eligibility Provision (CEP)—Year 2 and Successive Years

The El Campo Independent School District and Myatt Elementary announced today it will continue its policy to operate the Community Eligibility Program (CEP) under the National School Lunch Program and School Breakfast Program for the 2021-2022 school year. Schools qualifying to operate CEP serve breakfast and lunch to all children at no charge and eliminate the collection of meal applications for free, reduced-price, and paid student meals. This new approach reduces burdens for both families, school administrators, and helps ensure that students receive nutritious meals.
