    Since Sept. 2020, school districts around the state have been allowed to operate under the Universal Free Meal program which allowed all students to receive free meals. This USDA waiver was expanded in response to COVID. UCPS was informed in June 2022 that COVID meal waivers have expired and the federal government will not renew meals at no cost to all students for the 2022-2023 school year.
