On July 9, 2021, Governor Newsom signed Assembly Bill (AB) 130 establishing the California Universal Meals Program. Beginning in the 2022-2023 academic year, all school districts, county offices of education and charter schools serving TK through 12th Grades must provide two meals free of charge (breakfast and lunch) during each school day to students requesting a meal, regardless of their free or reduced-price meal eligibility. This new requirement is codified in Section 49501.5 of the California Education Code.

To comply with this new mandate, the Cold Spring School District is providing free Breakfast and free Lunch to any family requesting a meal for their child. 

In order to reserve meals, you must notify the school office at least a week in advance. If you sign up a student they will continue to receive the meal(s) they are signed up for throughout the school year. If you decide to discontinue your student from the program, it is your responsibility to notify the office of the change. Otherwise, they will continue to be required to pick up their meal daily. Confirming your income is a State requirement of the program.

Breakfast will be served between 8:00 AM and 8:15 AM.

Lunch will be served during the regular grade level lunch period between 11:30 AM and 12:15 PM.
