PUEBLO — Pueblo School District 70 will resume providing meals to students on Monday, April 27.
The district suspended its meal program on April 13 after a food service worker was possibly exposed to COVID-19. The district announced that the worker was tested and preliminary results came back negative. This did not change the two-week suspension of the meal program.
After D70 had to suspend their meal program, Pueblo School District 60 stepped in and has been providing meals for D70 students.
According to D70 when the program resumes on April 27, any student in Pueblo County under the age of 19 will receive two free lunches and two breakfasts with each meal bag. Parents or guardians can purchase a meal bag for $6.00 at curbside pick-up locations only. The district said adults over 60 can also receive a free meal if they are picking up food for grandchildren.
Curbside pick-up will be available Monday and Wednesday from 11 a.m. to 1 p.m. at the following locations:
