The remaining costs of preparing and serving these meals are paid by the students and staff. The District also participates in the summer food program, which is funded by the Texas Department of Human Services.

For several years, the District has participated in a Medicaid reimbursement program, which is a federal program to provide partial reimbursement for health care services provided to eligible children.
