All students attending Daviess County Public Schools are being issued Pandemic Electronic Benefit Transfer cards, which represent meal compensation for days in August and September that schools were completely virtual.
The Cabinet for Health and Family Services has issued P-EBT cards to all students grades K-12 — not just those who qualify for free and reduced lunch. The cards come with instructions on how to be activated and used. Cards should be received by the end of November.
DCPS is not responsible for issuing these cards and has no additional information beyond the links below regarding this program. If you have questions, call 855-306-8959.
All students at Owensboro Public Schools are already eligible for free meals. Owensboro Catholic Schools were not issued the cards because they have maintained in-person instruction throughout the current school year.
