Free and Reduced Meal Applications to be accepted beginning July 1

The Van Buren School District is now accepting free and reduced meal applications for the 2022-2023 school year.

The federal USDA waiver that previously allowed school districts to provide lunches at no cost to students expired on June 30, 2022. As a result, families who don't qualify for free or reduced price meals will be required to pay for lunches for the 2022-2023 school year. Student lunch cost will be $2.85. Reduced lunch cost will be $0.40. 

Families MUST apply to qualify for free or reduced lunch prices for the 2022-2023 school year. 

VBSD will continue to provide FREE breakfast to ALL students.

The meals application can be completed online at https://vanburen.strataapps.com.
