The Wayne County Board of Education has made an important announcement regarding the upcoming school year. For the 2025-26 academic year, Wayne County Schools will once again take part in the Community Eligibility Provision program. This initiative is designed to ensure that all students within the district have access to nutritious meals during the school day. Under this program, every student will be entitled to one complimentary breakfast and one free lunch each day they attend school.
However, it is essential for parents to be aware that this provision does not extend to à la carte items, snacks, or additional meals. These items will still require separate purchases. The Board encourages families to take advantage of this opportunity to support their children’s health and well-being while they are at school.
