  • Pasco County Schools: Due to changes in the rules governing the federal school lunch program, Pasco Schools is making it easier than ever for students – and children 18 and under – to receive free meals. Starting on Monday, September 14, students who attend class on campus will still be able to get meals in the school cafeteria, and now those meals will be free. Also starting on Monday, September 14, students who attend school remotely will still be able to receive school meals on a drive-through basis. Those meals also will be free. Here's how the program will work for students who are learning remotely through mySchool Online or Pasco eSchool:
    • Monday, September 14 through Thursday, September 17, the daily drive-through meal distribution will continue at the designated site time – and meals will now be free. Designated locations and times are listed at https://connectplus.pasco.k12.fl.us/do/fns/?page_id=6877.

    • We encourage families intending to participate curbside to complete the Meal Reservation Form, http://www.pasco.k12.fl.us/fns/mform/view.php?id=269401, so we can be best prepared for curbside participation. Parent/guardians no longer have to go to their child's school; they can pick up meals from the site that is most convenient.

We are responding IMMEDIATELY to this crisis by teaming up with the Pasco Recovery Community Organization (RCO) and Grace House to field Narcan to those most vulnerable. BEGINNING TODAY, we have 2,000 doses of Narcan ready to distribute. We would like to get these in the hands of people in need, not necessarily providers. We can give them to providers if they are giving them directly out to clients, but our focus is on the substance user's themselves. If you know someone who needs Narcan, please have them call 727-255-2036 and ask for Rachel Starostin.
