2025-26 BUCKS in ACTION
August 27, 2025
For the past two years, Michigan’s public school districts offered free breakfast and lunch to all students as part of the Michigan School Meals Program, a resource funded through the state’s annual budget. The state’s budget for the 2025-26 school year has not yet been finalized – schools do not know if funding for universal free meals will be available again this year.
While some area districts have announced whether they will be providing universal free meals for the 2025-26 school year, Buchanan Community Schools will be waiting for the Legislature to complete the budget process to ensure funding is available to implement the program.
For now, Buchanan Community Schools will provide free breakfast and lunch to ALL students from August 25, 2025, through September 30, 2025 (the end of the state’s fiscal year). Please be assured that any decisions made regarding the free breakfast and lunch program will be shared with parents/guardians and the community as soon as possible.
If you have any questions about your student’s school breakfast/lunch nutritional needs or meal options, please contact Becky Kaltenbach, Food Service Director, at 269-695-8415 or by email at rkaltenbach@buchananschools.com
