For the past two years, we have been able to offer all Medina City Schools students free meals due to federal programs related to the pandemic.  Earlier this year, the Federal Government announced that they will no longer provide funding to school districts to offer free breakfast and lunch to all students beginning with the 2022-23 school year.  We recognize this change will impact some of our families.  Medina City Schools will continue to offer free and reduced meals to students in need as we did prior to the pandemic.  Eligible families must complete this form to enroll.  The enrollment form will also be available at all school buildings.

Payment for meals can be made by cash or check at each individual school.  For your convenience, you may also pay online by ACH Check or Credit Card through the PayForIt system.
