All schools will continue to provide meals for students. Ravenna Public Schools provided additional meals on Friday, April 3 and will not be distributing meals this week. Because the safety of our students, staff, and volunteers is our number one priority, distribution methods and schedules may change due to illness and the cold food selections are more limited with lunch meats and cheese in short supply.
Be aware that some schools will be changing distribution and delivery methods and schedules after Spring Break beginning April 13.
These meals are available to all children ages 18 and under and students with disabilities ages 18-26 with an active IEP (Individualized Education Program) who either reside in or attend the district. All private and charter school students can access meals through the district in which they live.
It is also important for families to know that they may have have access to additional food assistance benefits as a response to the COVID-19 outbreak and may be temporarily exempt from federal work requirements due to a recent announcement by Governor Gretchen Whitmer and the Michigan Department of Health and Human Services (MDHHS).
