Message Regarding Free Meals for Citrus Students Superintendent Sam Himmel
Beginning tomorrow and ending October 20th all of our students will receive free breakfasts and lunches.
In the wake of Hurricane Irma, The U.S. Department of Agriculture has decided to allow all students in 37 counties throughout Florida that have been designated as a FEMA Major Disaster areas access to free school meals.
To help accommodate Citrus County residents affected by Hurricane Irma, ALL students in Citrus County will be allowed to receive free school breakfasts and lunches, regardless of income eligibility status. This temporary access to free school meals will begin tomorrow, Tuesday, September 19th and end on Friday, October 20th.
On Monday, October 23rd, your student’s regular Free and Reduced-Price Meal Eligibility status will resume.
Please understand that during this temporary access to free school meals, menus will be subject to change due to the availability of products.
If you have any questions regarding this matter, please contact our Food and Nutrition Services Department at 352-726-1931, ext. 2402.
