All public school districts will continue to provide meals for students the week of April 27. Because the safety of our students, staff, and volunteers is our number one priority, distribution methods and schedules may change.
These meals are available to all children ages 18 and under and to students with disabilities ages 18-26 with active IEPs (Individualized Education Program) who reside in the district. All private and charter school students can access meals through the district in which they live.
Schools are asking parents whose income has changed, and whose schools do not qualify for universal free and reduced lunch, to complete an application for free and reduced meals. The application is available online or through paper copy provided by the school. Families may be eligible for free summer meals, a P-EBT card (Pandemic Electronic Benefit Transfer) similar to a Bridge Card, and their children may start the next school year with a free or reduced meal benefit for the first 30 days (a new application would be needed to qualify past 30 days). Also, some local internet providers are offering a reduced rate to families who qualify for free and reduced meals. A list can be found at https://bit.ly/34L0kcU.
When parents complete these free and reduced meal applications, schools may have the ability to open summer sites for continued meals, may qualify for universal free meals, and have a better chance to earn community grants, supports, and increased funding for educational services.
