IMPORTANT! Households must reapply annually in order to be eligible for free or reduced-priced meals. Students who receive free/reduced price meals during the current school year qualify for those benefits the FIRST 30 DAYS of the following year in August. However, once a new application is processed, the eligibility determined by the new application will supersede the previous year's eligibility, even if that is within those first 30 days. Any student who does not have a new application processed by the 30th school day will automatically be changed to full pay.
