CCISD’s Child Nutrition Department is a self-sustaining operation which receives funds from the federal government’s National School Lunch Program. No funds from the district’s General Fund are used in the operation of the Child Nutrition Department. In addition to participating in the National School Lunch Program, CCISD also participates in the School Breakfast Program, both which are administrated by the United States Department of Agriculture (USDA).
