We understand that some students who bring lunch from home may still want to have some school milk or something from the salad bar. It's understandable that the students (and parents) would be confused when there’s a charge for these items. Yes, school lunch is free for all district students this school year. However, by federal guidelines, a school meal must include at least three components to qualify as "free".

The Boulder Valley School District’s Food Services has achieved an important milestone by introducing a daily dairy-free option to the school hot lunch menu. This significant change, implemented in response to years of community feedback, marks a major step toward greater food equity within the district.
