Austin ISD Food Service Resources
School Meal Reminders:
- Many Austin ISD students automatically qualify for free school meals through participation in state benefit programs, such as the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP), Temporary Assistance for Needy Families (TANF), or certain Medicaid programs.
- Students who attend a school participating in the Community Eligibility Provision (CEP) also automatically receive free breakfast and lunch at school, without any additional applications or documentation.
- Students who are not automatically eligible for free or reduced-price meals may apply (or reapply) at any time by completing an Austin ISD Meal Benefits Application online at www.SchoolCafe.com/AustinISD or by picking up a paper application at their school.
