Free School Meal Requirements Listed
Students from low-income families might be eligible for free or reduced-price meals in the Garden Grove Unified School District.
Only students whose families meet federal requirements based on family size and income are accepted by the National School Lunch and School Breakfast Program, said district spokesman Alan Trudell.
For example, students in a family of four are eligible for free school meals if their family’s yearly income is under $18,655. Students in a family of four are eligible for reduced-price meals if the annual income is between $18,655 and $26,548.
Students in families receiving food stamps or Aid to Families with Dependent Children are eligible for free meals, Trudell said.
Applications will be distributed to all students in September.
