High school and adult breakfast will cost $1.05; lunch $2.05; and milk .25. All students and adults will be required to pay the board approved meal prices unless they qualify for the Federal Free and Reduced Meal Program.
Those qualifying for reduced meals will have a breakfast cost of .30 and lunch .40.
A family of five qualifies for reduced meals if their yearly income is below $47,712 and they qualify for free meals if their yearly income is below $33,527.
The Federal Eligibility Requirements for Free and Reduced Meals uses a sliding scale for yearly income requirements depending upon household size.
The free and reduced meal applications will be sent home with students at the beginning of school. The district encourages all that are eligible for the program to apply due to the fact that the district receives extra money to help fund academic programs.
