We are pleased to announce that Fairfield Local Schools will be implementing a new option available to schools participating in the National School Lunch and School Breakfast Programs called the Community Eligibility Provision (CEP) for the 2025-2026 SY. All enrolled students are eligible to receive a healthy breakfast and lunch at school at no charge each day of the 2025-2026 school year. There is no application process…. |
Although all meals are free, students will still need to pay for extra items and ala-carte items. My School Bucks is the best way to do this. Create an account at: MySchoolBucks
Fairfield Local Schools Food Services Department follows the meal standards established by the USDA's "All Food Sold in Schools" and our Board Policy EFF - Food Sale Standards. This includes the requirements set forth by the Healthy, Hunger-Free Kids Act of 2020 and the "Smart Snacks in School" program. Board policies, including our policy “JN-R – Cafeteria Meal Charges” can be found by clicking the BoardDocs link to the left.
July 21, 2025 – Notification of Participation in the National School Lunch Program and School Breakfast Program
Fairfield Local School District announced today a change to its policy for serving meals to children served under the National School Lunch Program and School Breakfast Program for the {Insert the School Year, i.e., 2023-2024} school year. Schools qualifying to operate the Community Eligibility Provision (CEP) provide breakfast and lunch to all children at no charge and eliminate the collection of meal applications for free, reduced-price, and paid student meals. This new approach reduces burdens for both families and school administrators and helps ensure that students receive nutritious meals.
FREE HEALTH CARE: Families with children eligible for school meals may be eligible for FREE health care coverage through Medicaid and/or Ohio’s Healthy Start & Healthy Families programs. These programs include coverage for doctor visits, immunizations, physicals, prescriptions, dental, vision, mental health, substance abuse and more. Please call 1-800-324-8680 for more information or to request an application. Information can also be found on the web at Ohio Job and Family Services. Anyone who has an Ohio Medicaid card is already receiving these services.
