Burnet schools offer summer food program through Aug. 13
After getting lots of positive feedback regarding the Summer Food Service Program, Burnet school district officials are extending most of the service into August.
Burnet Consolidated Independent School District set up five sites for the program. The locations include three spots where the summer meal program initially curtailed July 30, but the program has been extended until Aug. 13.
The BCISD summer meal program sites are:
- Shady Grove Elementary School, 111 Shady Grove in Burnet. Grab-and-go meals are available 11-11:30 a.m. Monday-Friday in the bus line through Aug. 13. This is a breakfast and lunch combination.
