The Fayette County School Corporation garnered national attention in November 2017 with a series of articles on [[CBS News]] on the subject of school nutrition programs, nationwide—featuring Connersville schools' partnership with a food service company, Chartwell's, to offer free breakfast, lunch and supper services to all children in their schools—integrating breakfasts with classroom learning activity, offering a "second chance" breakfast for teens, and providing after-school movies with a free supper.<ref name="feeding_the_need_2017_11_19_cbs">[https://www.cbsnews.com/news/feeding-the-need-expanding-school-lunch-programs/ "Feeding the need: Expanding school lunch programs"], November, 2017, [[CBS News]], retrieved Nov. 23, 2017</ref>
