Broward parents can reapply for low-cost school meals
Parents who didn’t qualify for free and reduced price meals for their child now have another chance. Broward County schools are letting families who’ve recently had a change in financial status to reapply this semester.
To receive free and reduced price breakfasts and lunches, Broward residents must satisfy household size and certain income criteria determined by the United States Department of Agriculture.
More than 123,000 students received benefits for the 2008-2009 school year, an increase of 10,000 over the last year, according to a district report.
To reapply and read menu prices, visit the Broward School’s Food & Nutrition Services Web site to download an application form, or call 754-321-0250.
