The East Baton Rouge Parish School System participates in the National School Lunch Program/School Breakfast Program. Nutritious meals are served every school day. Students may buy lunch at the prevailing price.

Students from households that meet federal income guidelines are eligible for free or reduced-price meals.

Those eligible for reduced price meals pay 40 cents for lunch.

 

To apply for free or reduced price meals, families should complete the application sent home on the first day of school, sign it, and return it to the school.

If a household income is at or below the level on this scale, a student is eligible for either free or reduced-price meals.
