Once an application is approved, the free milk/meal or reduced-price meals will be automatically discounted in the student’s meal account. Reduced-price meals are $0.40 for lunch and $0.30 for breakfast. Students who qualify for free milk/meal or reduced-price meals are entitled to both breakfast (if available at the school) and lunch. If a student wishes to purchase a second meal or any a la carte items, the student must have cash available or money deposited in their account in advance.

Households that are approved for free or reduced-price meals are also automatically waived student fees.
