National School Lunch Program 2024-25
Oldham County Schools will be participating in the National School Lunch Program and the School Breakfast Program. As part of this program, all Oldham County Schools will offer healthy meals every school day. Breakfast will cost $1.30; elementary lunch will cost $2.40 and middle and high school lunch cost $2.85. Your children may qualify for free or reduced-price meals. Reduced-price meals cost $0.30 for breakfast and $0.40 for lunch.
Students attending Oldham County Preschool, LaGrange Elementary, Centerfield Elementary, Crestwood Elementary, and Oldham County Middle School, and Buckner Alternative School will be implementing Community Eligibility Provision and will receive meals at no cost due to the implementation of the Community Eligibility Provision for school year [2024/2025]. Students can participate in these meal programs without paying a fee or submitting a household application.
Qualifications for children to receive free or reduced-price meals include belonging to a household whose income is at or below the Federal Income Eligibility Guidelines, belonging to a household that receives public assistance, or if the child is homeless, migrant, runaway, foster, or participates in a federal Head Start or Even Start Pre-Kindergarten program.
Household size and income criteria are used to determine eligibility for free and reduced-price benefits if the household does not receive assistance or the children are not in the other categories mentioned above. Children can get free or reduced-price meals if the household’s gross income falls at or below the limits on the Federal Income Eligibility Guideline chart. Citizenship is not required to apply for free and reduced meals.
