Jefferson County Public Schools is continuing to offer free meals to students as the school system remains closed until Friday when elementary and middle school students return to class.
A letter sent to JCPS families and staff Sunday afternoon said that several meal sites will be open.
Lunches are being served Wednesday and Thursday from 11 a.m. until 12:30 p.m.
