Murray Independent Food Service
The Murray Independent School District participates in the National School Lunch program and the School Breakfast Program. Starting school year 2023-2024 the Murray Independent School District will be participating in a pilot program we are now qualified for under the U.S. Department of Agriculture’s Community Eligibility Provision, which means all students may receive a breakfast and lunch each day at no cost. The school district would appreciate all enrolled students participate in the breakfast and lunch meal service so this program can be a success and can continue past the 2023-2024 school year.
If you have additional questions about the menu or food service in general please feel free to contact our food service director.
Proper nutrition will make a difference in your child's health and their ability to concentrate on classroom studies. Because we want all students to enjoy the benefits of good nutrition, breakfast and lunch are available to all Murray Independent School students at no cost every day.
Our four-week menu cycle provides for variety and allows us to make the most efficient use of commodities, especially seasonal fresh fruits. Our portion sizes are designed to meet the needs of growing children as Federal regulations require that we offer a minimum of each food group. We offer a variety of meats, whole grains, fruits/vegetables, 100% fruit juices, 1% and skim milk every day. Because we promote nutritious meals at no cost to all students at school, we ask that parents please not bring in food purchased from restaurants to serve to their children at mealtime. We also may offer menu items and other nutritional foods/beverages for students to purchase a la carte.

Murray Independent Schools has partnered with an online payment portal where parents can view student balances and cafeteria purchases, and even make online automatic payments.
The website is www.myschoolbucks.com. To use the system, parents or guardians must establish a user name and password. Next, a confirmation will be sent to an existing e-mail account. There is an operational cost of $2.95 for each payment, charged by the banking system associated with this program. However, parents may still pay by check or cash as well.
For more information on the system, please contact school nutrition office at 270-753-5700, or email: april.baldwin@murray.kyschools.us
Any meal sold to an adult must be priced to meet the minimum required price to ensure that no federal child nutrition funds are subsiding adult meals. This is effective from the beginning of the school year and applies to all adult meals.

- Lunch - $4.65
