Connecticut intends to provide a Pandemic Electronic Benefits program by the end of the month, providing eligible Free and Reduced Lunch students with a debit card.  It will be loaded with a cash value of $5.70/day, for the equivalent of one school breakfast and one lunch for each day that school is closed. This debit card can be used for food purchases at participating food retailers. A flyer detailing this program was attached to a newsletter sent to parents by Danbury Superintendent of Schools Dr Sal Pascarella.  He says this will not impact or replace the district's continued provision of meals through the end of the school year, Monday, Wednesday and Friday.
