Fallbrook Union Elementary School District today announced its policy of providing free and reduced-price meals for children served under the National School Lunch Program and School Breakfast Program. The lunch program is offered at all school sites and the breakfast program is offered at Fallbrook Street, Maie Ellis, Mary Fay Pendleton and San Onofre schools. Each school and the central office have a copy of the policy, which may be reviewed by the public. Eligibility for a foster child is based on the child's income. Applications forms are being distributed to all households with a letter informing them of the availability of free and reduced-price meals for their children.
Applications are also at the principal's office in each school.
To apply for free or reduced-price meals, households must complete the application and return it to the school. Applications may be submitted at any time during the school year. The information households provide on the application will be used for the purpose of determining eligibility and verification of data. Applications may be verified at any time during the school year or other program officials. If the household member does not have a social security number, the household member must indicate that a social security number is not available.
