ALL OCPS Student's Eat Free

Orange County Public Schools is offer free meals to ALL students in the 2023-24 school year. We believe every student deserves access to healthy and nutritious meals regardless of socioeconomic status. Therefore, it has been decided that for the upcoming 2023-24 school year ALL existing OCPS schools will be implementing the Community Eligibility Provision (CEP), allowing ALL students to receive ALL school meals at NO CHARGE. This applies to all students at all existing OCPS schools for all school meals, including breakfast and lunch.

Students will have the opportunity to choose three to five menu items that fall into the main food groups – protein, grain, vegetable, fruit, and milk. For breakfast, students may select a minimum of three out of four offered food items, where one of those items must be a 1/2 cup fruit of vegetable. For lunch, students may select a minimum of three out of five total food group components and one of those components must be a 1/2 cup fruit or vegetable.

All students eat initial meals at no charge. Families do NOT need to apply!
