Homewood City Schools announced its 2014-2015 policy for free and reduced-price meals on July 1. The meals are provided as part of the National School Lunch Program, and Homewood officials determined the rates based on household income and size.
For example, a household of four would be eligible for the free meal program if it makes $31,005 per year or less, and it would be eligible for the reduced-price program if they make between $31,005 and $44,123 per year.
Families who may qualify for the program can fill out an application that will be sent home with students, or by requesting a copy from the principal’s office. All information in the application will be kept confidential and is only used to determine eligibility. Applications can be submitted at any point during the school year.
To learn more about eligibility requirements, call Child Nutrition Program Director Carolyn Keeney at 877-4572.
