CLEAR CREEK ISD urges families to apply for free and reduced-price school meals
Summary
A district presenter urged families to submit the short application for free or reduced-price breakfasts and lunches, saying approved applications unlock fee waivers, technology funding and other supports for students and schools.
A presenter for the district opened a Parent 101 briefing urging families to apply for free and reduced-price school meals, saying the program helps households obtain meals "मुफ़्त और रियायती" for eligible students and that completing the short application can open broader supports for both the child and the district.
The presenter listed five reasons to apply, including free or reduced-cost breakfasts and lunches, access to dual-credit benefits, reduced college testing fees, potential funding for technology and increased educational funding for schools. The presenter noted that the program follows USDA guidance on what meals qualify and emphasized that snacks or a la carte purchases are generally not covered. The presenter closed by directing families to the district website and to contact child nutrition for help: "Child न्यूट्रीशनccist dot net पर email के ज़रिए 2 81 2847 पर call करके," the presenter said.
