Alex Public Schools

We are excited to announce that Alex Public Schools has, once again, been approved for a $25,000 Oklahoma local food for schools grant for the 2026-27 school year. This grant is sponsored by the Oklahoma Department of Agriculture for our child nutrition program. This grant allows APS to procure local foods such as beef, pork, poultry, vegetables, and fruit through competitive bidding from their approved lists. We appreciate our cafeteria staff taking the time to apply for this grant and striving to provide the highest quality ingredients available to our staff and students.
