Rome City Schools parents short on cash won’t have to look under sofa cushions for change for lunch money next year.
Brandy Money, nutrition coordinator for the school system, said lunches will be free for students during the 2014-2015 school year. The issue was discussed during Tuesday’s Rome Board of Education meeting.
Rome City Schools qualifies for a USDA-sponsored program that funds the free lunches.
“At this time of year, we are usually discussing the upcoming expected costs of lunches for the new year, but this year, thanks to this program, we don’t have to,” said Superintendent Jeff Bearden. “All students will be able to have meals for free.”
