New Bedford Public Schools have announced that they will continue to serve breakfast and lunch every school day, despite the government shutdown.
This move aims to alleviate concerns among families across the SouthCoast who were worried about the potential impact of the federal government shutdown on local school meal programs.
"All National School Lunch Program districts maintain strong reserves to ensure uninterrupted meal service,”
stated Superintendent Andrew O’Leary, reassuring New Bedford families that meal services will remain secure.
The district's ability to adjust budgets as needed until federal reimbursements resume also contributes to the continuity of meal services.
This reassurance extends beyond New Bedford Public Schools, providing relief to a broader community.
