May 26, 2020 – SAISD will continue to provide meals during the summer (May 29-Aug. 7) as part of the Texas Department of Agriculture’s “Seamless Summer Nutrition Program.” Meals will be available at curbside locations at select schools and at select SAISD bus stop locations. 
 
The summer program will offer meals at no cost to children ages 18 years and younger. No application is required and all participants are eligible regardless of whether they are enrolled in a summer program or not. Also eligible for free meals are students who continue to be enrolled in school past the age of 18, but under the age of 21, and who are identified as disabled through a special education program. 
 
“The federally funded program enables children to receive nutritious meals throughout the summer,” said SAISD’s Senior Executive Director of Child Nutrition Services Jenny Arredondo. “Regular and appropriate nutrition is very important to support a student’s academic performance.”
 
Note: The curbside meal sites that operated during the regular school year will remain in operation through May 29, 2020, but there will be some changes for June’s schedule. 
 
Following is the June 2020 schedule: 
• Curbside Distribution: Monday, Wednesday and Friday. 10 a.m. – Noon
