Federal aid given during the COVID-19 pandemic made school meals available for free to all public school students — regardless of family income levels. But those eligibility waivers expired over the summer, therefore beginning with the 2022-2023 school year, Defiance City Schools will no longer be serving all of their meals for free.
Students (Grades PreK-12) may charge up to three (3) meals after which an alternative meal consisting of a cheese or peanut butter sandwich, fruit, and milk will be provided. Disabled and handicapped students at all grade levels will continue to receive their school meals with no interruption while their parents are being contacted for payment.
Parents, be sure to add funds to your child's lunch account as needed.
