[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]So there is no percentage of poor kids where the free food is automatic? How do they decide which schools qualify? [/quote] Instead of having students fill out forms and qualify individually, schools can apply for to have the whole school qualify based on the median income in the community. It's much more efficient, in predominantly low income areas it's cheaper for the fed to just feed the kids who aren't low-income rather than doing all the compliance to make sure the schools are submitting paperwork properly.[/quote] This is not true. The FCPS press release tells the parents to fill out the forms anyway because it affects other benefits such as reduced fees for instruments and sports in higher grades.[/quote]
