2026-2027 School Meal Prices
All Allegany County Public Schools provide free breakfast and lunch to every student through the Community Eligibility Provision (CEP), a USDA program that allows eligible schools to serve meals at no cost to all students without requiring families to complete free or reduced-price meal applications.
Because all students receive meals at no charge, free and reduced-price meal applications will not be distributed or collected at the beginning of the school year or at any time during the year.
Families may continue to use PayPAMS to add funds for à la carte items or other food and beverage purchases that are not included as part of the free school meal.
Funds may also be added to a student's meal account by cash or check. Cash or checks can be submitted directly to the school cafeteria. Please make checks payable to the school cafeteria and include the student's name and five-digit lunch PIN on the check.

Allegany County Public Schools offer the School Breakfast Program in every school with all meals meeting the Federal Nutrition guidelines. The federal School Breakfast Program is a critical, proven way to reduce hunger and improve health and learning among school-age children. School breakfast reduces hunger, helps families in Maryland stretch their food budgets, and boosts academic performance.
