BLUFFTON EXEMPTED VILLAGE SCHOOLS ANNOUNCEMENT
On July 31, Bluffton Exempted Village Schools announced its 2025-2026 program year policy free and reduced price meals for students unable to pay the full price of meals or milk served under the National School Lunch and School Breakfast. Each school office and the central office has a copy of the policy, which may be reviewed by any interested party. The State of Ohio Budget for school year 2025-2026 includes funding to cover the cost of reduced meals for breakfast and lunch. This provision allows schools to provide no cost meals to reduced price meal eligible students.
The Federal Income Eligibility Guidelines will be used to determine eligibility. Children from families whose annual income is at or below the federal guidelines are eligible for free and reduced-price meals.
