[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Depends on the FARMs percentage at the school. I have two kids in APS. One gets free lunch, while the other does not. [/quote] This. If FARMS percentage is high enough, then all get a free lunch. This might be a Federal regulation or law, not sure, but definitely is true across VA and MD and several other states. [/quote] Yep, this is a nationwide initiative called the Community Eligibility program. At schools with high percentages of free lunch, there is a measurable group of students whose families don’t apply so the students may go hungry. The CEP program increases participation in the meals program by removing that obstacle. Schools and districts apply annually.
