Re-1J free, reduced meal eligibility announced for 2018-19 school year

    Holyoke School District officials will use the Colorado Department of Education household size and income criteria for determining eligibility for free or reduced-price school meals for the 2018-19 school year.
    The CDE school nutrition unit has announced the policy for determining eligibility of children who may receive free and reduced-price school meals served under Colorado school food authorities that participate in the National School Lunch and/or School Breakfast Programs.
    Applications for free and reduced-price school meals, instructions and an informational letter to households are available at the Holyoke School District administration office at 435 S. Morlan Ave.
    Only one application is required for all children in the household. The information provided on the application is confidential and will be used only for the purpose of determining eligibility and verifying data. Immigration, migrant, citizenship or refugee status is not required to be provided during the application process.
    The application does require the last four numbers of a Social Security number or an indication that there is no Social Security number. This information is not reported to any organization outside of the school district.
