Free and Reduced Meal Application

  • Florence City Schools will be operating under the USDA’s Community Eligibility Provision(CEP) program for the 24-25 school year on all campuses, excluding Kilby. This program allows all students to receive a qualifying breakfast & lunch at no cost to families. Any additional meals or ala carte items (snacks) can be purchased through your child’s cafeteria account.

     

    Kilby families are encouraged to complete a meal application to qualify for free or reduced lunches. Contact the Kilby office to request an application and for all application or qualification related questions

     

     

    The Richard B. Russell National School Lunch Act requires the information on this application. You do not have to give the information, but if you do not, we cannot approve your child for free or reduced price meals. You must include the last four digits of the social security number of the adult household member who signs the application. The last four digits of the social security number is not required when you apply on behalf of a foster child or you list a Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP), Temporary Assistance for Needy Families (TANF) Program or Food Distribution Program on Indian Reservations (FDPIR) case number or other FDPIR identifier for your child or when you indicate that the adult household member signing the application does not have a social security number. We will use your information to determine if your child is eligible for free or reduced price meals, and for administration and enforcement of the lunch and breakfast programs. We MAY share your eligibility information with education, health, and nutrition programs to help them evaluate, fund, or determine benefits for their programs, auditors for program reviews, and law enforcement officials to help them look into violations of program rules.

    Applications are subject to Verification by the Child Nutrition Department.
