FOR FREE AND REDUCED-PRICE MEALS

Meal applications are available online or at the front desk beginning of each school year. However, you may apply for school meals at any time throughout the school year by submitting a household application directly to CIS. In the operation of the Child Nutrition Program, no person will be discriminated against because of race, Color, sex, national origin, age or disability.

If you are earning at or below current Income Eligibility Guidelines, we encourage you to fill out a school meal application.

The household size and income criteria identified below will be used to determine eligibility for free, reduced-price, or full-price meal benefits.  Children from households whose income is at or below the levels shown here are eligible for free or reduced-price meals.  Children who receive  Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program  (SNAP), or Food Distribution Program on Indian Reservations (FDPIR) or Temporary Assistance for Needy Families (TANF) Assistance benefits are automatically eligible for free meals regardless of the income of the household in which they reside.  Eligibility for a foster child is based on a separate application and solely on the amount of the child’s “personal use” income.

Nondiscrimination Statement Update

Application forms are distributed to all households with a letter informing them of the availability of free and reduced-price meals for enrolled children.  Applications are also available at the registrar’s office or the front desk.  To apply for free or reduced-price meal benefits, households must complete an application and return it to the school for processing.  Applications may be submitted at any time during the school year.  The information households provide on the application will be used to determine meal eligibility and may be verified at any time during the school year by school or program officials.

Requirements for school officials to determine eligibility for free and reduced-price benefits are as follows: For households receiving SNAP, or FDPIR or TANF benefits – applications need only include the enrolled child(ren)’s name, SNAP, or FDPIR case number, and the signature of an adult household member. For households who do not list a SNAP, or FDPIR  or TANF case number, the application must include the names of all household members, the amount and source of the income received by each household member, and the signature and corresponding Social Security number of an adult household member.  If the household member who signs the application does not have a Social Security number, the household member must indicate on the application that a Social Security number is not available.

Under the provisions of the free and reduced-price meal policy, the determining official shall review applications and determine eligibility.  Parents or guardians dissatisfied with the eligibility ruling may discuss the decision with the determining official on an informal basis.  Parents may also make a formal request for an appeal hearing of the decision and may do so orally or in writing with the Head of School. 2015 Public Release Statement and Grievance 8.10.15

If a household member becomes unemployed or if the household size increases, the household should contact the school.  Such changes may make the children of the household eligible for benefits if the household’s income falls at or below the levels shown above.
