San Antonio ISD will continue to provide meals during the summer (June 5 through Aug. 4) as part of the Texas Department of Agriculture’s “Seamless Summer Nutrition Program.” The summer program will offer meals at no cost to children ages 18 years and younger. Also eligible for free meals are students who continue to be enrolled in school past the age of 18 but under the age of 21, and who are identified as disabled through a special education program.
The ”Seamless Summer Nutrition Program” is required by law in districts with a large demographic of “free” eligible students. No application is required, and all participants are eligible regardless of whether they are enrolled in a summer program or not.
“The federally funded program enables children to receive nutritious meals throughout the summer,” said Jenny Arredondo, SAISD’s senior executive director of Child Nutrition Services. “Regular and appropriate nutrition is very important to support a student’s academic performance and overall health.”
The program will run June 5 through Aug. 4. Dates and times will vary by location. Operation dates and serving times are listed online.
