The Bardstown City Schools is participating in the National School Lunch and Breakfast Program for the 2026–2027 school year. Thanks to this program all BCS students are eligible to receive National School Lunch / School Breakfast meals at no charge due to the continued implementation of United States Department of Agriculture’s Provision 2 under the National School Lunch Program.

To help Bardstown City Schools continue offering this valuable program, all families are asked to complete a Household Income Form (HIF) each year, regardless of income. The information collected also helps determine eligibility for additional educational programs and services that benefit our students and schools.

Household Income Forms will be distributed during the first week of school. Once you receive the form, please complete and return it to your child’s school as soon as possible. Every completed form helps support our district and plays an important role in maintaining free meals for all students.
