School Meal Program Returns to Pre-Pandemic Status for the 22-23 School Year.
USDA did not extend the waivers covering the school meal cost for all students. Student meals will return to regular pricing (free, reduced, and paid). Families of students who may be eligible for free or reduced price meals benefits must submit a new application each new school year (July 1 or after) to determine eligibility. School meal applications are available on the district website: norfolkpublicschools.org/district/business-services/nutrition-services.html or by calling Jeanette Holtz at 402-644-2500 Ext. 1140 or jeanetteholtz@npsne.org.
All households can apply for free or reduced price meals. An application must be completed in order to qualify for free or reduced school meals as well as fee waivers for other school fees. If your household income is at or below the free meal guidelines, your students can receive meals free of charge. If your household income is at or below reduced meal guidelines, your students can receive meals at a reduced price. In order to help during this transition, 2022-2023 meals prices will remain the same with no increases from previous years meal prices. For reference, meal prices for the district are as follows:
