The National School Lunch Program (NSLP) 

Lewisville ISD for the 2024-2025 school year is part of the National School Lunch Program (NSLP), which is a federally assisted meal program operating in public schools. It provides nutritionally balanced breakfasts and lunches for children each school day. NSLP institutions must serve breakfasts and lunches that meet federal meal pattern requirements. Nutritionally compliant snacks may also be served to children who participate in an approved afterschool program, including an educational or enrichment activity.
