Families must reapply for school meal benefits each year.  If your student(s) qualified for free or reduced priced meals last year, their prior year eligibility is extended for the first 30 school days to allow time for a new application to be completed.  After the 30th day (October 15, 2024), school meals will be charged at the paid meal price if a new eligibility for free or reduced price school meal benefits has not been established.

The 2024-25 Child Nutrition Eligibility & Education Benefit (CNEEB) application can be found at:  www.bsd405.org/freeandreduced 

Completing the CNEEB application may qualify you for:

  • Summer EBT (grocery) benefits
  • Waived or reduced fees for other programs and activities, and
  • Community resources available through our Family Engagement Specialists
