Dear Falls City Tiger Families,
I’m pleased to announce FCPS has been notified by the Nebraska Department of Education that the U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA) will extend the Summer Food Service Program through as late as December 31, 2020. This will allow our school to serve free meals to all children into the fall months, or until available funding runs out. This includes:
- FCPS will initiate the SFSP beginning Monday, September 14, and will credit the full pay and reduced student meal accounts retroactive to September 1, 2020.
- Under current guidelines, this program will not be in place for the second semester.
- If the funding runs out meals will revert back to full pay, reduced, or free as determined under current guidelines.
- Eligible individuals are only students enrolled in and attending FCPS District 56 on those days when school is in session.
All families are encouraged to complete and turn in the free and reduced meal applications if you have not done so already for the 2020-2021 school year.
Sincerely,
Tim Heckenlively
Superintendent
