We’re closely monitoring White House Executive Orders that temporarily pauses federal funding for certain programs.
Potentially impacted programs include Child Nutrition Programs that serve our HCPS community. Examples of these programs include several that families receive benefits from through the Free and Reduced Meals Application, or FARMS application:
National School Lunch Program
School Breakfast Program
Classroom Breakfast Program
Afterschool Snacks and Suppers
Summer Meals
We are working with the national School Nutrition Association and our state partners to understand how the executive order might impact school meal programs. For now, everything remains the same—we’re still serving meals and processing free and reduced meal benefit applications. As more information becomes available, we will keep you updated through HCPS communications.
