During the 2024-25 school year, the district is implementing the Community Eligibility Provision (CEP), which provides ALL enrolled students, regardless of eligibility, with FREE breakfast and lunch meals.
The Brookfield Local School District participates in the National School Breakfast and School Lunch programs. The programs allow eligible students to receive free/reduced cost meals at school. Free/reduced meal applications are given to families at the beginning of each school year and are available in each office. If you receive Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP) benefits, all of your children who attend school automatically qualify for free school meals. Participation in other federal assistance programs, including Temporary Assistance for Needy Families (TANF) also provides automatic eligibility.
Families must apply for the benefits each school year. Additionally, if your financial status changes at any point during the school year, please fill out and submit a Free/Reduced Meals application to check for eligibility. Even though all meals are free for the 2024-25 school year, families should still submit an application to be considered for other benefits such as free healthcare and the Sun Bucks program which provides funding for meals during the summer months.
