Free and Reduced Price Meals are available to families who believe they may qualify. If your family chooses to apply please complete a "Free and Reduced Meal Price Application Form." The forms can be obtained and returned (completed) to any school office. You will be notified by mail of your child's status. Until notification you must provide your child with a lunch or lunch money.

Only complete one application per family. The information you give will be used to determine or prove your child's eligibility for free or reduced-priced meals. This information may also be used for other state or federally funded school benefits.

Factors considered in the application process are household size and total household income. HOUSEHOLD SIZE is considered all persons, related or unrelated: Including parents, children, grandparents who live in your home and share living expenses. The TOTAL HOUSEHOLD INCOME is the income each household member received last month before taxes - this includes wages, social security, pension, unemployment, welfare, child support, alimony, and any other cash income.

Foster children are categorically eligible for free meal benefits. An application must be filled out and submitted if there is documentation of status by a state or local entity familiar with the child's status. Foster children may be included in the household application as part of the household size, however, inclusion of a foster child on an application with other household members does not automatically entitle the household to benefits.

Homeless children are also categorically eligible for free meal benefits. An application must be filled out and submitted if there is documentation of status by the Student Services department of BUSD.

Meal applications are good through the first thirty (30) school days of the following year. Applications received and processed during the 2019-2020 school year will be good through September 21, 2020 or when a new application for the 2020-2021 school year has been processed, whichever comes first. New applications for the 2020-2021 school year will be available online by July 15, 2020.
