NEWTON FALLS, Ohio - Newton Falls Exempted Village Schools is the latest district in the Valley to offer breakfast and lunch at no charge and eliminate the collection of meal applications for free, reduced-price, and paid student meals to students who qualify for the National School Lunch Program and School Breakfast Program.

The program reduces burdens for families and school administrators and helps ensure that students receive nutritious meals, according to a news release.

Families with children eligible for school meals may be eligible for free health care coverage through Medicaid and/or Ohio’s Healthy Start & Healthy Families programs.

The programs include coverage for doctor visits, immunizations, physicals, prescriptions, dental, vision, mental health, substance abuse, and more.

Call 1-800-324-8680 for more information or to request an application. Information can also be found on the web at http://jfs.ohio.gov/ohp/consumers/familychild.stm.

Anyone who has an Ohio Medicaid card is already receiving these services.
