In an effort to clear confusion by a recent media story in another publication, the Brentwood Union School District released the following statement regarding school lunches — nothing changes.
All students at all Brentwood Union School District schools (Elementary, Middle Schools) will continue to receive 1 breakfast and 1 lunch at NO CHARGE during the 23-24 school year!
Middle School students will continue to use their ID card or ID number to select their breakfast and lunch options each day.
Elementary School students will continue to use their ID card (will be provided by food services dept) to select their breakfast/2nd chance breakfast option. No ID card or ID number will be needed for lunch services going forward for Elementary students at lunch time!
An Education Benefits Income form is replacing the Meal Application form for 3 years. For those with a household income they believe qualify them for various assistance programs, please fill out the form online by registering or logging into https://linqconnect.com/register and selecting “Income Form” or by filling out a paper copy of the attached Income Form and sending it to the Food Service District Office located at 255 Guthrie Lane.
Menus are now published at www.brentwoodschoolmeals.com beginning in August. Interactive menus are also available on a phone app at “web menus by isite”

Note – Back in the summer of 2021, the State of California provided $54 million for the coming school year, supplementing funding from the Biden administration through June 2022. The program continued to expand to ensure all schools were able to provide free breakfast and lunches to students. In 2022, $2 billion in funding was provided to address the emerging needs of school districts through higher meal reimbursements, kitchen equipment for more freshly prepared meals, and training for nutrition staff as well as creating more opportunities for California producers to nourish California kids.
