San Dieguito Union High School District offering free and reduced-price meals

The San Dieguito Union High School District will provide free and reduced-price meals for children served under the National School Lunch Program for school year 2014-15. Applications are available at SDUHSDNutrition.com. Household size and income criteria (provided in the application) will be used to determine eligibility for free or reduced-price lunch benefits. The full priced lunch charge is $3.75 and breakfast is $2.25.

Canyon Crest, Carmel Valley, Diegueno, Earl Warren, San Dieguito Academy, and Oak Crest Schools are terminating the Provision II (no charge breakfast) for the 2014-15 school year. La Costa Canyon and Torrey Pines will continue to offer breakfast before school at no charge.

Children from households whose income is at or below the levels in the application are eligible for free or reduced-price meals. Children who receive Food Stamp (CalFRESH), California Work Opportunity and Responsibility to Kids (CalWORKS), Kinship Guardianship Assistance Payments (Kin-GAP), or Food Distribution Program on Indian Reservations (FDPIR) benefits are automatically eligible for free meals, regardless of the income of the household in which they live. Eligibility for a foster child is based on a separate application and solely on the amount of the child’s “personal use” income.
