Children need healthy meals to learn. Butler Area School District offers healthy meals every school day.
Families must submit their free/reduced meal application each year in order to be eligible for free/reduced meals. Typically, breakfast costs $1.25 at all schools and lunch costs $2.50 for elementary, $2.75 for secondary, and $2.50 for Center Avenue.
During the 2024-2025 school year, all schools participating in the School Breakfast Program (SBP) are to provide free breakfasts for all enrolled students. Additionally, students identified as eligible for reduced-price lunches through the National School Lunch Program (NSLP) will not be charged for their meals. This applies to all Butler Area School District Schools
