You may be able to save that if you qualify, and it only takes 10 minutes of your time to complete the application process for Free or Reduced meals.

This is a Federal program regulated and audited by the Federal Government.  A family can apply anytime throughout the school year.  If your family qualifies through Medicaid, SNAP, or other state benefits, a letter indicating you have been approved through Direct Certification should have been mailed to you.

A new application must be completed each year, as the Federal Government sets new income levels each year. This information is kept confidential.
