The Clark County School District (CCSD) has intensified its dedication to student health by embracing a variety of federal nutrition programs that provide free and reduced-cost meals to qualifying students.These federally supported efforts, backed by the USDA, are designed to combat food insecurity and guarantee that children receive wholesome meals essential for their physical growth and academic achievement. CCSD’s involvement spans key programs such as the National School Lunch Program, School Breakfast Program, and the Seamless Summer Option, ensuring meal availability not only during the school year but also throughout summer breaks and remote learning periods.

To maximize the reach and efficiency of these programs, CCSD collaborates closely with community organizations and employs innovative technology solutions to facilitate meal distribution. The primary federal programs in operation include:

• National School Lunch Program: Delivering balanced lunches during the academic calendar.
• School Breakfast Program: Providing nutritious morning meals to start students’ days right.
• Seamless Summer Option: Extending meal services during summer to bridge hunger gaps.
