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.
- Charges are not allowed for a la carte, adults, or at high school.
- For the students that have reached the charge limit, an alternate meal (such as a peanut butter sandwich and milk or a cheese sandwich and milk) will be provided. No alternate meal will be provided at breakfast.
- Families who qualify for free or reduced-price meals must complete an application to receive them. All other students will pay full price for their meals.
- We encourage all families to apply before the start of the school year or as soon as possible.
- School meals must be paid for until applications are processed and approved.
- Eligible families could receive free breakfast and lunch OR at a reduced price (breakfast for $0.30 and lunch for $0.40) depending on federal guidelines.
- Eligible families can also use their notification letter as proof of eligibility in the meal program for discounts on testing, services, camps, and various application fees.
- Please view the application below to apply for this valuable benefit.
- Students who are no longer attending on-site during the current school year will not receive meal kits. The USDA waiver which allowed this benefit ended June 30, 2022.
