Shawnee Mission School District will serve free meals to children ages 1-18—even to those not enrolled in the district—through its Summer Lunch Bunch from 11:30 a.m. to 12:30 p.m. at select schools from June 2 to July 25, with adults able to buy a $5 meal and no carry-out available.

The Shawnee Mission School District warned that a federal budget proposal to cut billions from the meal program may reduce free meal benefits for one in five students—risking higher unpaid meal balances and lower state funding.

Officials said the changes will complicate paperwork for families—while they wait for lawmakers to act.
