Free and Reduced Price Meals (State Policy)

To apply for free or reduced-price meals, please fill out an application as soon as possible, sign it and return it to the school. Please answer all questions on the form. An application which does not contain complete information on household members and income cannot be used by the school. If information is missing, your child may be denied the meal benefits. Call your school if you need help with the form.

For an application to be complete, you must provide: the total household income by the amount and type of income received by each household member receiving income or your food stamp number if your household receives food stamps; the names of all household members; social security numbers of all household members 21 years of age or older or state that a household member does not have; and the signature of an adult household member. The information on the application may be checked by the school or other officials at any time during the school year.

See Board Policy 702 - School Meal Program.
