Dear Parent or Guardian:

We are pleased to announce that all students enrolled at Liberty Central School District will be able to receive a FREE breakfast and lunch meal at school beginning on Sept. 5, 2024.

This implementation is a result of the United States Department of Agriculture (USDA) expanding access to the federal Community Eligibility Provision (CEP). CEP allows eligible schools participating in the National School Lunch and School Breakfast Programs to offer school meals at no charge to all students.

What does this mean for your child(ren) attending Liberty? Effective Sept. 4, 2024, all students enrolled at Liberty Central School District will receive meals at no cost to your household. No further action is required of you.

If you have any further questions, please contact us at 845-292-5400.

Sincerely,
Dawn Parsons, SNS
FS Director
