No Disruption to School Meals During Government Shutdown 

Boise School District wants to reassure families that school breakfast and lunch will continue as usual across all schools—regardless of the ongoing federal government shutdown.

• Meals are still being served daily

• No changes to service at any school site

• CEP (Community Eligibility Provision) schools continue to offer free breakfast and lunch for all students who attend these schools: Garfield, Grace Jordan, Hawthorne, Hillcrest, Horizon, Jefferson, Koelsch, Lincoln, Lowell, Monroe, Morley Nelson, Mountain View, Owyhee, Taft, Valley View, Whitney, Whittier, Fairmont, South, and Frank Church.

• Breakfast is free for all students, at all schools

• Free supper meals will continue at after school programs at the following locations:  Grace Jordan, Hawthorne, Hillcrest, Horizon, Jefferson, Koelsch, Morley Nelson, Taft, Whitney, Whittier, Hillside, and South

Your child’s access to nutritious, balanced meals remains our top priority. We're committed to ensuring that no student goes hungry—school meals will not be affected.
