Kenton School Students Receiving Free Breakfast and Lunch During 2026-27 School Year

Kenton City Schools will be implementing a new option available to schools participating in the National School Lunch and School Breakfast Programs called the Community Eligibility Provision (CEP) for School Year 2026-2027.

What that means for families of the Kenton City School District is, all enrolled students of Kenton City Schools, Hardin Community School and Hardin County MRDD are eligible to receive a healthy breakfast and lunch at school at no charge to your household each day of the 2026-2027 school year.

Food Service Director Regina Comstock said the no further action is required to receive the free meals.

Students will be able to participate in these meal programs without having to pay a fee or submit an application.

School Fees – Students who are currently receiving SNAP, TANF or Medicaid will have their school fees either waived or reduced automatically.
