The North Baltimore Local Schools announced today a change to its policy for serving meals to children served under the National School Lunch Program and School Breakfast Program for the 2024-2025 school year. Schools qualifying to operate the Community Eligibility Provision (CEP) provide breakfast and lunch to all children at no charge and eliminate the collection of meal applications for free, reduced-price, and paid student meals. This new approach reduces burdens for both families and school administrators and helps ensure that students receive nutritious meals.
FREE HEALTH CARE: Families with children eligible for school meals may be eligible for FREE
health care coverage through Medicaid and/or Ohio’s Healthy Start & Healthy Families
programs. These programs include coverage for doctor visits, immunizations, physicals,
prescriptions, dental, vision, mental health, substance abuse and more. Please call 1-800-324-
8680 for more information or to request an application. Information can also be found on the
web at http://jfs.ohio.gov/ohp/consumers/familychild.stm . Anyone who has an Ohio Medicaid
card is already receiving these services.
For additional information please contact the following person:

This is fabulous news, for all of our NB families. I saw that lunches were around $3 daily, and I thought about families with multiple kids, and how expensive and stressful that could be. So, happy these programs are available. Thank you!
This is really good news. Not all families can afford to pay for their child’s school breakfast and/or lunch.
