Dear Parent or Guardian: This communication should be considered formal notice that free meals will end at the close of this school year. Congress voted against covering school meal costs going forward into the 2022-23 school year. Starting in the Fall of 2022, parents/guardians will again be responsible for paying for school meals. We urge you to plan ahead now. Schools will be sending out a packet of information regarding the eligibility requirements to qualify for Free or Reduced School Meals. Please fill out the 2021-22 form in order to provide for a 30-day grace period in the fall, giving you more time to complete it for the 2022-23 school year. The communication will also provide information on how you can financially plan for next year.
