Christina School District Students Will Eat For Free This Year

Christina School District Students Will Eat For Free This Year

With many families struggling to make ends meet, the Christina School District is making sure for the second year in a row that no student will go hungry.

School Lunch Program

Exceeding the expectation of the federal free and reduced school lunch program, Christina School District will offer free breakfast and lunch to every one.

More than 13,000 students are enrolled in the district and not one of them will have to worry about where 2 of their 3 recommended daily meals will come from.

Typically, students can qualify for free or reduced-price meals based on their family’s income. However, if at least 40 percent of students qualify, the school can receive additional funding to feed every single student.

The pandemic brought a lot of this on and the funding has since expired.

Christina School District Cares

Regardless, Christina School District joined a number of other districts around the country in continuing the universal free meal program on its own.

This year, the program will cost approximately $300,000 to provide meals to students.

It was a group effort. The school board unanimously approved offering universal free meals again for the upcoming school year.

These Are The 25 Best Public Schools In Delaware For 2023

In this country, under our current climate, education is at the forefront of importance and debate.  Parents are concerned now more than ever about student curriculum.  There is the ever growing concern with safety, as we see the number of school shootings and threats at a high.  As a parent myself, I know that choosing a school for your child is a daunting task, and not always a choice.

More and more families are choosing alternative options to public schools.  Some are sending their children to private schools or opting for online education.  However, this is not an option for all families with the rising costs and of course working parents who may not be home to assist in the online options.  Some families are even choosing to move to where to better schools are.
