Premier High School-Brownwood announced its policy today that this school year, healthy meals will be
offered every school day to all students at no cost. Typically, a student’s household must meet income
eligibility requirements to qualify for free or reduced-price meals. However, the United States Department
of Agriculture (USDA) issued guidance that allows schools to offer meals to all students at no cost for the
2021-2022 school year. Each school/site or central office has a copy of the policy, which may be
reviewed upon request.
While no application or eligibility determination process is required for your student to receive free meals this school year, the income eligibility requirement will likely resume in the 2022-2023 school year.
