Facebook: Supercast Episode 148: Federal Government Ends COVID-19 Meal Program in Schools
Beginning in the new school year, families must once again apply for the income-based free and reduced lunch subsidy. That's because the U.S. Department of Agriculture announced recently that it is returning to pre-COVID-19 rules requiring families to apply for free and reduced lunch, rather than allowing all K-12 students to receive free meals.
On this episode of the Supercast, find out what you need to know about school breakfast and lunch moving forward. And, how to apply for free or reduced meals for the upcoming 2022-23 school year in Jordan School District.
