Nourishing Minds & Fueling Futures
Good nutrition is vital for academic success and overall well-being, and our Food Services Department is committed to providing nutritious meals to our students.
Our dedicated team of food service professionals works tirelessly to ensure that every meal served meets or exceeds USDA nutritional guidelines while catering to diverse tastes and dietary needs.
All students eat for free
Kindergarten through 12th grade Burlington students are eating for free this year.
By participating in the U.S. Department of Agriculture Food and Nutrition Service’s Community Eligibility Program (CEP), the Burlington Community School District is able to provide free breakfast and lunch to all enrolled K-12 students.
“We’re really excited about the opportunity and the ease that this program will provide to our families,” BCSD Superintendent Robert Scott said.
Meals that qualify for the program must include at least three of the four to five meal items being offered and one of those items must be a fruit or vegetable.
Students wanting a la carte items still must pay for them as they are not included in the reimbursable meal. If, for example, a student brought a sack lunch but wants milk from the cafeteria, they will have to pay for the milk. If that student was to get a milk and two other items, including a fruit or vegetable, all items will be free to the student.
While CEP does not require the collection of household applications, families who otherwise would complete and submit free and reduced price lunch applications should instead complete and submit the fee waiver form.
