Broward County Public Schools is accepting student meal benefit applications for the next academic year starting Monday.

In May 14, the district announced it will no longer provide free school lunches for all students.

The program was covered by federal funds that have since run out. Now, only income-eligible families can participate.

Breakfast remains free for all students. To learn more and find the application visit https://www.myschoolapps.com/
