MESA, AZ — On a typical school day, the cafeteria is hustling and bustling at Mesa High School. There are long lines of students waiting to get food, hundreds of students spread out sporadically across the cafeteria, students talking amongst themselves and eating; it’s the epitome of lunchtime at a high school.The Food and Nutrition Service of the USDA allowed schools to apply for the Community Eligibility Provision program mid-school year due to changes to some of its regulations.

For Mesa Public Schools, that means more than half of its schools and programs will be able to get a free breakfast and lunch, according to Sabrina Kvavle, the district’s food services director. “We won't be receiving any money from students for meals. By getting more meals at the free rate, it offsets the money the students would've been paying,” Kvavle said.
