South St. Paul Schools will be providing school meals in accordance with the National School Lunch Program and School Breakfast Program during the 2020-21 school year. School meals will be available at no charge to students enrolled in SSP this fall through the remainder of the school year. Funding for the meals comes from the USDA (Federal) Summer Food Service Program, which gives the district flexibility to serve seven meals each week. All families are still encouraged to complete an Application for Educational Benefits, since any approval of benefits will carry over after this waiver expires through the 2020-21 school year.

Through the month of January, seven days of meals will continue to be provided to all SSP children.
