Free and Reduced-Price Meals
Meals are made available on a reduced-price (Breakfast .30¢ and Lunch .40¢) or free basis to students from families who meet certain income requirements which are determined by the U.S. Government. Applications for the Reduced-Price or Free school meals are mailed at the start of each school year to all families with children enrolled in the district's schools. Applications are also available at school offices and cafeterias.
Important: A new application must be filled out at the beginning of each school year in order for the meal benefits to continue. Meal benefits begin on the day the application is processed by Food and Nutrition Services and continue throughout the school year in which the application is approved, the summer, and approximately the first thirty days of the next school year.
