CONGRESSMAN HENRY CUELLAR ANNOUNCES FEDERAL REIMBURSEMENTS FOR DUVAL COUNTY SCHOOL DISTRICTS

Dr. Cuellar announced Wednesday morning, Aug. 21 $2.2 million in federal reimbursements for free or reduced meals for Duval County school districts for the 2023 to 2024 school year. San Diego ISD received $1,362,233, Freer ISD received a total of $683,218, Benavides ISD received $163,682 and Ramirez CSD received a total of $23,910 in reimbursements. The federal funding comes from USDA’s National School Breakfast Program (SBP) and National School Lunch Program (NSLP). “This is important because the federal government provides reimbursements to the schools where they could provide breakfast, lunch and after school snacks. For a lot of schools this is the most important meal that they get, probably the best meal that they’ll get for the day,” said Dr. Cuellar.
