Adair Bd. of Education announces Free and Reduced lunch policy For National School Lunch and Breakfast programs By Dayna Feese Any interested person may review a copy of the policy by contacting Carol Roy, 1204 Greensburg Street, Columbia, KY 42728, 270-384-2476. Household size and income criteria will be used to determine eligibility. Children from families whose income is at or below the levels shown may be eligible for Free or Reduced Price Meals. An application cannot be approved unless it contains complete eligibility information. Once approved, meal benefits are good for an entire year. You need not notify the organization of changes in income and household size. Application forms are being sent to all homes with a letter to parents or guardians. To apply for Free or Reduced Price Meals, households must complete the application and return it to the school. Additional copies are available at the principal's office in each school. The information provided on the application will be used for the purpose of determining eligibility and may be verified at any time during the school year. Applications may be submitted at any time during the year. Households that receive SNAP or KTAP are required to list on the application only the child's name, SNAP/KTAP case number, and signature of adult household member. Foster children will receive benefits based on information submitted on the household application or information received from an appropriate agency. Households with children who are considered migrants, homeless, or runaway should contract the district liaison, Mary Ann Branham at 270-384-2476. For the purpose of determining household size, deployed military members are considered a part of the household. Families should include the names of the deployed service members on their application. Report only that portion of the deployed service member's income made available to them or their behalf to the family. Additionally, a housing allowance that is part of the Military Housing Privatization Initiative is not to be included as income. All other households must provide the following information listed on the application: Total household income listed by gross amount received, type of income (e.g., wages, child support, etc.) and how often the income is received by each household member;If a household member becomes unemployed, or if the household size changes, the school should be contacted so the necessary changes can be made. Such changes may make the student eligible for reduced price or free meals. Under the provisions of the Free and Reduced Price meal policy, Carol Roy and Dayna Feese, 270-384-2476, will review the applications and determine eligibility.
