Borrego Springs Unified School District has announced an amendment to its policy for serving meals for children served under the National School Lunch Program and School Breakfast Program for 2016-2017 school year, which would allow for all children at all schools/sites to be served meals at no charge.

The BSUSD is entering into its second cycle of Provision 2, a program whereby all students receive all meals at no charge. Provision 2 cycles last four years and at that point the District decides whether to request an extension or re-establish the Base Year (a year in which meal applications are collected in order to determine the number of students who qualify for free or reduced-priced meals); BSUSD chose to do the latter. While families will notice a form in the school registration packet requesting household income information, this form is for other District purposes and does not affect students continuing to receive meals at no charge.
