CMS Cafeteria Information:
During the last school year, children and families benefitted from no-cost school meals for all students, made possible by special permission from the United States Department of Agriculture. Unfortunately, this program has expired. As a result, the Ohio Department of Education and Columbiana Exempted Village School District cannot extend the permissions for no-cost meals for all students.
School meals will still be available to all students; however, they will not be free to all students. Households may apply for free or reduced-price meal benefits by September 28, 2022. Applications will be sent home and/or are available on our website as was the case before the pandemic. Eligibility for free and reduced-price lunch is based on federal income guidelines or participation in other programs such as Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program and Ohio Works First. For additional information concerning the National School Lunch Program, please see the U.S. Department of Agriculture school lunch question and answer webpage.
For the 2022-23 school year, the price of reduced and paid lunches will be as follows:
CMS Breakfast $1.00 ($0.30 Reduced)
CMS Lunch $2.95 ($0.40 Reduced)
For questions or additional information please contact our office at 330-482-5354 or contact Mrs. Minamyer at tina.minamyer@columbianaschools.org
