Hiawatha USD 415 applied for and has been granted a waiver through the USDA extending flexibilities for the Summer Food Service Program (SFSP). With this waiver, the district can choose to operate the Summer Food Service Program through May 2021.
Q. What does this mean?
A. This means that USD 415 meals can now be served free of charge to all students in the district. Each enrolled student of USD 415 can have a free breakfast and free lunch on school days. This program started Wednesday, September 9th and continues
through May 2021. Ala carte items at the middle school and high school are not free and must still be purchased by students.
