Free or Reduced-Price School Meals During the Federal Shutdown

Families May Apply Any Time During the School Year

Free or Reduced-Price School Meals are available to students whose families qualify based on household income guidelines and families may apply at any point during the school year. This is a long-standing rule to reflect the many changes in families’ economic circumstances that can occur. This practice applies to households with furloughed employees. To apply, families should contact the CSD Food & Nutrition Services Department. School districts also have the flexibility to date the eligibility for free or reduced-price school meals as of the date of the application (rather than the later date on which they approve the application) to provide more immediate support to families.
