Good news for Muhlenberg Co. elementary kids and parents

Posted: Updated:
MUHLENBERG CO., KY (WFIE) -

Here's some good news for elementary students and parents in the Muhlenberg County School District.

This year, students will eat free school breakfasts and lunches.

This is all part of a federally funded program through the U.S. Department of Agriculture's community eligibility option.

Kentucky is one of three states who began the program as a pilot last year.

The main difference between this and the free and reduced meal program is that it doesn't require an application from parents.
