August 7, 2025 - Due to the State of Michigan’s delay in passing a 2025-2026 state budget, the future of the Michigan School Meals program, which provides free breakfast and lunch for all students, remains uncertain at this time. Midland Public Schools will provide universal free breakfast for all students for the 2025-2026 school year. Universal free lunch will run through September 30, 2025.
As of October 1, 2025, families who do not qualify for free or reduced lunch will be charged. The pricing sheet below reflects what the pricing would be should meals not remain free for all MPS students.
Meal Type | Price |
Student Elementary Lunch | $3.70 |
Student Secondary Lunch | • $3.95 Create & Latin Station, $4.45 Grill & Pizza Station • $4.95 Packaged On the Go Meals & Sub Station |
Milk Only (no meal) | $0.70 |
Staff Meal or Staff Packaged Lunch Meals | $6.15 |
Staff Breakfast | $3.80 |
Important note: To help ensure our schools secure essential state and federal funding, we ask that all families complete the annual Child Nutrition and Education Benefits Application. To complete it online, visit https://midland.familyportal.cloud and select “Apply for Benefits”. Please contact your school’s main office if you need a paper form.
MPS is committed to ensuring food services remain accessible for our students. We will continue to monitor updates related to the Michigan School Meals program and will communicate any new information to you as soon as it is available.
