Hours after Gov. Steve Sisolak ordered all Nevada schools to close due to the spread of coronavirus, the Clark County School District announced locations where free breakfast and lunch will be provided for students during the closure.
Food distribution centers will be set up at 21 schools across the Las Vegas Valley in rural parts of the county from 8 a.m. to 11 a.m. daily.
Academic resources for students also are available at these sites. Those obtaining food must have school-aged children present with them, the district said.
CCSD is working with local and state government along with community partners to establish additional food distribution options, which will be shared with parents “as soon as it is available,” the district said.
