Applications now open for free, reduced price meals for Duval County students at 37 schools

Starting this school year, 37 Duval County Public Schools will no longer offer free lunch to all students.

Elementary lunches at these schools (listed below) will now cost $4, and secondary lunches $4-$4.25.

The School Board approved these prices on Tuesday night.

Low-income families can still apply for free or reduced-price meals, and students on programs like SNAP will be automatically registered.

All students at these schools can get free meals for up to 30 days while eligibility is determined. The district will notify families of their meal eligibility status within 10 business days of submitting the application.

Eligibility results will be sent via email to the primary custodian listed in the district’s records.

About 75% of Duval County’s other public schools, designated as Community Eligibility Provision schools, will continue to offer free lunch to all students.

Breakfast will remain free for everyone district-wide.

Parents can manage their school lunch payments through the My School Bucks app or website.
