BCPS Summer Lunches Can Now Go Home


Baltimore County families will be able to pick up and take home their free Summer Food Service Program breakfast and lunch meals.
The program runs through Friday, August 19. Until now, meals had to be consumed on site, but recent passed legislation now enables parents or guardians to pick up meals at BCPS community sites to take home.

Meals are served Monday through Friday, and each day, those picking up meals will receive one lunch and the next day’s
breakfast for each child in their household under the age of 18.

“This change provides much more flexibility for parents or guardians while at the same time
ensuring that their children receive an enjoyable and healthy menu of breakfast and lunch
meals,” said Jaime L. Hetzler, director of the BCPS Office of Food and Nutrition Services.

Last Day for New Northeast Elementary Survey


The public has one more day to select from among two options for new boundary lines for elementary schools in northeastern Baltimore County. The deadline for taking the survey here is midnight today, Wednesday, Nov 17.

Survey results are part of the feedback that will be used by the Northeast Area Elementary Boundary Study Committee to choose an option and formulate a recommendation for new attendance boundaries.

The goal of the new boundaries is to relieve overcrowding through additional seats at a new northeast elementary school currently under construction at Rossville Boulevard and Gum Spring Road and a replacement building for Red House Run Elementary School.

The two options were developed by the committee, which has been meeting since September, and shared at a public information session on Nov. 3. The committee’s recommendation will go to BCPS leadership and finally to the Board of Education for action in March 2022.

To learn more about the process and access detailed maps, please visit the Northeast Area Elementary Boundary Study Web site
