The Clark County School District this week began offering free breakfast and lunch at more than a dozen schools where summer school instruction is now in session, with hundreds more schools set to start offering free meals in the coming weeks.
The free meals, which are available for students under 18 years old, are part of the US Department of Agriculture’s Summer Food Service Program and will extend through July 17 at some schools. The full list of schools and service times can be found online at weareccsd.net/summermeals and menus can be found here.
Students must eat the meals on-site. There will be no drive-thru or take-out meal options. Being on campus also allows students to get out of the heat and get water.
Schools will be closed and not offer meals on observed holidays: May 27 (Memorial Day), June 19 (Juneteenth), and July 4 (Independence Day).
As of June 2021, 75% of students in CCSD (about 225,000) qualified for free or reduced-price meals as part of a federal program for students from low-income households.
Last year, CCSD expanded its USDA Community Eligibility Provision program districtwide to offer no-cost meals to all 300,000 students through the 2024-2025 school year.
According to CCSD, the free meals are also available to certain people over 18 years old who are mentally or physically disabled and also participate in a public or private non-profit school program during the regular school year.
