WILSON ELEMENTARY SCHOOL DISTRICT will be participating in the Provision 2 of the National School Lunch Program and the School Breakfast Program. As part of this program, Wilson Elementary and Primary School implementing Special Assistance Programs will offer healthy meals every school day at NO COST to the students due to the implementation of Provision 2 for school year 2022-2023. Students will be able to participate in these meal programs without having to pay a fee, but must submit a National School Lunch Program household application to Wilson Elementary District’s food service department in order for the district to claim the meals in the appropriate eligibility category for reimbursement from USDA and to continue offering meals at no cost under Provision 2.
Qualifications for children to receive free or reduced-price meals include belonging to a household whose income is at or below the Federal Income Eligibility Guidelines, belonging to a household that receives public assistance, or if the child is homeless, migrant, runaway, foster, or participates in a Head Start or Even Start pre-Kindergarten program.
Household size and income criteria are used to determine eligibility for free and reduced-price benefits if the household does not receive assistance or the children are not in the other categories mentioned above. Children can get free or reduced-price meals if the household’s gross income falls at or below the limits on the Federal Income Eligibility Guideline chart.
