School Meal Update for 2025-26
School Meal Update for 2025-26
What’s Changed?
- As of today, UNTIL 9/30/25, school meals will be free for all students. Whether they remain free for all students AFTER 9/30/25 is still unclear since the Michigan School Aid Budget hasn’t been finalized yet.
What does this mean?
- There is a chance that school meals may no longer be free for all students. If the Michigan School Meals program doesn’t continue, student will begin paying regular price for meals as of 10/1/25. Only students with an approved application will receive free or reduced priced meals after 10/1/25.
What to do?
- To ensure that your student will receive free or reduced priced meals for the entire school year, please complete a Child Nutrition and Education Benefit application. This can be completed online at
- If you have received a notification this month that your student is approved for free or reduced priced meals for this school year, you do not need to re-apply.
