Westerville City Schools students still may receive a free lunch and breakfast through the end of this school year.
The U.S. Department of Agriculture has extended flexibilities in its Summer Food Service Program and Seamless Summer Option through June 30 to allow schools and other sites to continue to provide meals at no cost to all children, according to the USDA website: usda.gov.
The department previously extended free meals through December 2020, based on funding available at the time, but was able to extend throughout the entire 2020-21 school year through a continuing resolution signed into law by former President Donald Trump on Oct. 1, 2020, according to the USDA.
