The Child Nutrition Program of the East Baton Rouge Parish School System provides affordable and nutritious meals to students and staff, believing that good nutrition is crucial for learning. It is our duty to provide healthy meals in a safe and clean environment.
CNP employees serve 50,000 daily meals in 81 sites across the district within a 2-hour window. Public school and charter students receive one free breakfast and lunch. The Supper Program is available to students in after-school programs. Twenty-five schools participate in the Fresh Fruit and Vegetable Program, where students receive a fresh snack after recess around two to three times a day. Additional food and extra meals are available to purchase at a minimal cost.
Students who eat school meals are exposed to healthy eating habits through daily servings of milk, ample fruits and vegetables, whole-grain products, and portion control for maintaining a healthy body weight. Let’s establish a new tradition with good nutrition.
Food is essential for children as it aids in their cognitive function.
To ensure our students receive the best educational experience possible, we need your help! Each enrolled EBR student requires their parent or guardian to complete the 2026-2027 Economic Data Survey.

*There are a couple of requirements when printing the Non-discrimination statement: The first printing requirement is that the wording for either statement cannot be changed. The state agency has encountered situations where SFAs have tried to change the word “Sex” to “Gender” in the nondiscrimination statement. USDA is emphatic that no words should be altered, changed, added or removed from the statement. The second printing requirement is that the print size cannot be smaller than the text of the material Also note that in auditory presentations, such as public service announcements, the shortened version may also be used, but the long version is required on any vital documents even if it is only one page long.
This institution is an equal opportunity provider.
The East Baton Rouge Parish School System is advising families that school bus transportation may experience delays during the Friday afternoon commute home because of weather and road conditions across the parish. Transportation staff members are working to safely transport students while navigating possible heavy traffic, flooded areas and impacted roadways caused by
changing weather conditions.
