Sharing Free/Reduced Status with Other Programs
Your child’s eligibility information for free or reduced price meals is private data. However, federal law allows a school to share your child’s eligibility with
federal and state education, health, and nutrition programs for which your child may qualify. For the following, we need your permission to share your
eligibility information for possible fee benefits: Athletics, Activities, Technology, School Readiness, Field trips, Class Fees, and Testing Fees. Signing and
sending in this form will not change whether your child will get free or reduced price meals.
