FREE & REDUCED COST LUNCH PROGRAM All schoolchildren, regardless of the household’s ability to pay, must have nutritious meals and milk. The National School Lunch Program is a federally assisted meal program that provides nutritionally balanced, low-cost or free lunches to eligible children. At the beginning of the school year, the Region 15 schools distributed a notice to all households with school-aged children stating that school nutrition programs are available and that meals may be available free or at a reduced cost. Children who qualify under U.S. Department of Agriculture guidelines may get meals free or at a reduced price. To determine a student’s eligibility for free and reduced price meals, a parent or legal guardian must complete the meal benefit form and return it to school. Forms:
