ÁùºÏ±¦µä will adjust its meal distribution plan to provide meals Monday through Friday, no longer providing weekend meals, starting April 3.
The adjustment was necessary after the Texas Department of Agriculture changed its policy around reimbursement of weekend meals. Meal distribution on Friday will consist of a breakfast and a lunch for each student. For food assistance on the weekends, families may reach out to the Central Texas Food Bank.
ÁùºÏ±¦µä ISD Food Services will continue to prepare and provide meals for children under the age of 19 at more than 70 locations while school is closed due to COVID-19 precautions. The district has also received a waiver through TDA, which allows parents to pick up meals without children present. They would need to have one fo the following forms of documentation at the point of meal service:
- Official letter/email from the school that shows children as enrolled
- Individual student report cards
- Attendance record from Parent Portal of the school website
- Birth certificate for children not in school
- Student ID cards
