Escambia School District Updates Free School Meals Sites; 11 Locations Removed

April 5, 2020

The Escambia County School District has revamped the list of schools where free meals will be available beginning Monday, April 6.

Eleven schools were removed from the list after a review of the proximity to other local providers and the number of families who visited each site.

The remaining 27 sites will provide children or teens a breakfast meal and a lunch meal during the same visit. The meals are designed to be carried away and consumed off campus; cafeterias and dining rooms will not be open. Meals will be distributed in a curbside pick-up operation. Food items will be in to-go containers and will consist of ready-to-eat food items that should be consumed when received or should be quickly refrigerated for consumption at a later time.

Meals will be distributed to children 18 and younger from 9 a.m. until noon Monday through Friday, except for Friday, April 10. Students must be present according to USDA policy.

    >>the lady in the pic looks to be carrying a sidearm, well good for her!

    She is the campus security officer. Elementary schools have those instead of sheriff’s office school resource officers.

    there will always be a group of people that try to corrupt the system.

    Children in Century will have to travel more for meals. Many parents in Century do not have transportation. Add a site for Century.
