Press release from Omaha Public Schools:

August 4, 2021

Omaha Public Schools is proud to offer well-balanced meals for students. We know proper nutrition is key to helping our students focus and learn in the classroom.

Omaha Public Schools will serve meals at no charge to enrolled students during the 2021-22 school year.

We encourage families to still submit the free/reduced meal application for access to more benefits. These benefits can include Pandemic EBT, fee waivers, scholarships, Medicaid and more. It is also important because school funding depends on completed meal applications.

Families must reapply each year, and only one application is needed per family. If you have any questions or need help with your application, please contact Nutrition Services at (531) 299-0230.
