KCSD to offer free breakfast and lunch for the 2026-27 school year

We are pleased to inform you that Keokuk Community School District will be continuing the Community Eligibility Provision (CEP) again for the 2026-2027 school year. This program is available to KCSD K-12 schools participating in the National School Lunch and School Breakfast Programs.

What does this mean for you and your children attending the school(s) identified below?

Great news! All enrolled students of Keokuk Community School District grades K-12 are eligible to receive a healthy breakfast and lunch at school at no charge to your household each day of the school year. Your child(ren) will be able to participate in these meal programs without having to pay a fee or submit a meal application. *

Families with students attending KCSD grades K-12  will not need to fill out a free/reduced lunch application, however, to receive a fee waiver, you will need to fill out a household income form and sign the waiver in PowerSchool registration forms.

Families with students attending Keokuk Catholic School will need to fill out the free/reduced lunch application to determine eligibility.

If you have any questions about this letter, please contact Sarah Hackett, Food Service Director at sarah.hackett@keokukschools.org or 319-526-3717.

Sincerely,

Sarah Hackett
Food Service Director

* The district will still be requesting Household Income Forms from households with a student participating in the CEP; however, receipt of free breakfast and lunch meals does not depend upon returning it.
