Breakfast and lunch will be provided at no cost to all students next school year!
Officials are pleased to announce that Buncombe County Schools will be implementing a program available to schools participating in the National School Lunch Program and School Breakfast Programs called the Community Eligibility Provision (CEP). They will also implement Universal Meals at Nesbitt Discovery Academy (NDA).
What does this mean for you and your child(ren)?
Great news! All enrolled students at Buncombe County Schools are eligible to receive a healthy breakfast and lunch at school at no cost to your household each day of the school year.
Parents (except those with students at NDA), there are no action steps for you to take at this time to participate in this program. They look forward to serving your students beginning August 28, 2023. NDA parents will receive separate instructions regarding Universal Meals.
If you have any questions about this letter, please contact Buncombe Schools Nutrition Office at 828-255-5932.
