Free and reduced price meal applications available for DCPS 2025-26 school year

JACKSONVILLE, Fla. – Applications for free and reduced price meals are available for the Duval County Public Schools 2025-26 school year.

Families with children attending one of the district’s 37 non-Community Eligibility Provision (non-CEP) schools are encouraged to apply online.

Applications are available in English and Spanish.

If your child is enrolled at a CEP school, if you do not need meal assistance, or if you received a letter stating your child was “Directly Certified through the Florida Direct Certification System,” no application is required.

What to know:

• All students will receive lunch at no cost for the first 30 operating days of school OR until a new meal eligibility determination is made — whichever comes first.
• The district will notify families of their meal eligibility status within 10 business days of submitting the application.
