Universal Breakfast Program Waivers

" May 1, 2022 - The Universal Breakfast Program Waiver application closes on July 1.
"

May 1, 2022 - The Universal Breakfast Program Waiver application opened in TX-UNPS on March 15 and closes July 1. School district campuses and open-enrollment charter schools participating in NSLP in which 80 percent or more of the students qualify for a free or reduced-price breakfast must offer a free breakfast to each student or seek a waiver from TDA, as required by Senate Bill 376. TDA notified all mandated schools by email in February 2022.

CEs that are mandated to offer free breakfast to all students and wish to apply for a waiver should use the Universal Breakfast Waiver form through TX-UNPS Download Forms (SNP-000).

Please refer to the Universal Breakfast page for details and instructions here.
