MCPSS will again provide free breakfast, lunch for students
For school year 2023-2024, the Child Nutrition Program (CNP) of Mobile County Public Schools will continue to provide breakfast and lunch meals to all students at no charge through the USDA Community Eligibility Provision (CEP). In order to receive USDA Reimbursement, all meals must be accountable. All students will be issued an Identification badge that will be scanned at the Point of Sale; this will identify the students and the meals served.
The Community Eligibility Provision (CEP) program does not require student meal applications; therefore all students will receive breakfast and lunch meals at no charge. MCPSS will receive reimbursement for a complete reimbursable meal per student. If a student selects a partial meal, he/she will be required to pay for those items separately. A la carte items may be purchased at the food prices approved by Mobile County Board of School Commissioners.
Meal prices for school staff and visitors are:
Adult Staff: $3.00 (breakfast), $4.50 (lunch)
Visitor Child < 10 years: $3.00 (breakfast), $4.50 (lunch)
Visitor Adult: $3.25 (breakfast), $4.75 (lunch)
Holiday Adult*: $5.50 (lunch)
*Holiday meals include Thanksgiving, Christmas, Grandparents Day, Black History Month, etc.
For questions concerning CNP or CEP, please contact the CNP Central Office at 251-221-4374.
