North Lamar receives waiver to feed students at no charge

Posted Date: 10/27/2020

Paris, Texas, October 27, 2020 – All students at North Lamar ISD can now receive breakfast and lunch meals at no charge due to a waiver through the Texas Department of Agriculture.

Starting November 1 through June 2021, all students who chose to eat in the lunch line may eat free. 

“Children will receive a healthy breakfast and lunch every school day, at NO COST,” said NLISD Director of Food Services Diana McGregor.  “This applies to students who are attending classes in school or virtual classes at home.  Parents may pick up meals for their children who are remote learners at designated schools.”

McGregor reminds parents that any charges made to student accounts before November 1 need to be paid in full.

The waivers from the USDA are to support the continued operation of meal service in response to COVID-19.
