Pikeville High School students will reportedly be getting free meals for the rest of this school year. The Appalachian News Express reports at the December 14 Pikeville Independent Schools Board of Education special meeting, the Superintendent said the district will be undergoing a trial of a return to a program used during the Covid-19 pandemic which allowed the district to provide free breakfast and lunch to all students but after a while was only for Pikeville Elementary. It’s set to start at the High School January 3 and go through May 20. They are encouraging families to participate.
