Every Student Eats Free In Wayne Public Schools

WAYNE, NJ — Breakfast and lunch won't be a problem for Wayne Township Public Schools students this year, as the district has been approved to offer those meals free to students.

The township announced that the approval means that from the first day of school until June 22, 2022, students will be offered a free breakfast and lunch each day they are in school.

According to the district, the meals will be "safely packaged" for quick distribution, and will "have the required components of a complete meal" as described by the School Breakfast Program and the National School Lunch Program.

Breakfast bags will be available to students before school starts for the day in the school cafeteria, and after the start of school in study halls and when needed, as determined by the school nurse or principal.

Packaged lunches will be available for all students during assigned lunch periods.
