Students will now need to pay for all school meals (breakfast and lunch). Meal costs for school year 2022-2023 as well as the Family Meal Application and Menus are listed below.
Cobb County school administration has also adopted a limited charge policy:
- Students at school without money are allowed up to $7.05 in charges at elementary school and $5.20 at middle school.
