Information from Food Service
Minnesota Free Meals Program Continues for the 2026-27 School Year
Chisago Lakes School District continues to participate in the Minnesota Free Meals Program which provides reimbursement to schools so that students can have one breakfast and one lunch at no cost during the school day. Although no application is required to receive this free meal benefit, filling out the Application for Educational Benefits is necessary to qualify for exemption from class fees and to be considered for free/reduced athletics and technology. Families must complete the educational benefits application AND the waiver form to be considered for free/reduced fees.
What is NOT included in the MN Free School Meals Program?
Students must have a positive balance in their account or cash to purchase non-reimbursable items
Single-item purchases and non-reimbursable meals are not free. Some examples include:
Extra carton of milk (One carton of milk is included in the free reimbursable meal. If a student brings a lunch from home or would like an additional milk, it must be purchased)
Second breakfast or second lunch
Extra portions (mega bites)
Snack Items/a-la carte
