All Georgetown County Schools offer a breakfast and lunch for students. The meals follow the meal patterns set by the U. S. Department of Agriculture (USDA) for the National School Lunch and School Breakfast programs and are based on the U. S. Dietary Guidelines. Breakfast includes a meat / meat alternate such as sausage or cheese with a bread / bread alternate OR two breads. Fruit or fruit juice and a choice of milk are offered with each breakfast. Lunch includes a meat/ meat alternate, two vegetables or fruits (or one of each), a bread/ bread alternate, and choice of milk. Each day at least two meats or alternate, two vegetables, and two fruits are available for students to choose for a lunch meal. Portion sizes follow USDA serving recommendations.
The USDA requires that students who wish to pay the student price for meals or use free or reduced meal benefits (if the family is eligible) MUST take at least 3 of the 4 choices served for breakfast and at least 3 of the 5 choices served for lunch. Food may be purchased as a single item but is priced to encourage choosing the meal.
Meals are offered at reasonable prices. Reduced-price and free meals are available for students whose families qualify, based upon income and family size. Application forms to determine eligibility are sent home with each student or given to each student during registration. Application forms are available in school offices, cafeterias, and at the district’s administrative office. Only one application form per family is required, even though all children in a family are given an application.A new application is required each school year. Children of families receiving assistance from the S. C. Department of Social Services for food may automatically qualify for free meal benefits and will be notified by letter at the beginning of school. If a letter is not received, the family needs to fill out a meal application in order to receive meal benefits, if eligible.
Parents may pay by the day, week, month, or for the entire school year. Refunds, upon request, will be issued at the end of the school year for amounts not used. Balances may be carried forward into the next school year.
