Price Of Food In
Schools Announced
The Warren County Board of Education this week
announced its policy for free and reduced price meals,
and free milk for children unable to pay the full price of
meals and milk served under the National School Lunch,
and Special Milk Programs.
The full lunch price for the paying child will be 40c and
the reduced price lunch 10c, the same as last year.
Local school officials have adopted the following
family size income criteria for determining eligibility:
(scale attached)
Children from families whose income is at or below the
levels shown are eligible for free or reduced-price meals
or free milk. (An extra one half pint of free milk is
available to those who are eligible for free meals.) In
addition, families not meeting these criteria but with
other unusual expenses due to unusually high medical
expenses, shelter costs in excess of 30 percent of income,
special education expenses due to the mental or physical
condition of a child, and disaster or casualty losses are
urged to apply.
Application forms are being sent to all homes in a
letter to parents. Additional copies are available at the
principal's office in each school. The information
provided on the application is confidential and will be
used only for the purpose of determining eligibility.
Applications may be submitted at any time during the
year.
To discourage the possibility of misrepresentation, the
application forms contain a statement above the space
for signature certifying that all information furnished in
the application is true and correct. An additional
statement is added to warn that the application is being
made in connection with the receipt of Federal funds,
that school officials may, for cause, verify the
information in the application, and that deliberate
misrepresentation of information may subject the
applicant to prosecution under applicable State and
criminal statutes.
In certain cases foster children are also eligible for
these benefits. If a family has foster children living with
them and wishes to apply for such meals and milk for
them, it should contact the school.
Under the provisions of the policy the principal will
review the applications and determine eligibility. If a
parent is dissatisfied with the ruling of the official, he
may wish to discuss the decision with the determining
official on an informal basis. If he wishes to make a
formal appeal, he may make a request either orally or in
writing to Mrs. Heath Beckwith, Box 110, Warrenton, N.
C., telephone 257-3184, for a hearing to appeal the
decision. The policy contains an outline of the hearing
procedure.
If a family member becomes unemployed or if family
size changes, the family should contact the school to file
a new application. Such changes may make the children
of the family eligible for reduced price meals, or for
additional benefits such as free meals and milk if the
family income falls at or below the levels shown.
In the operation of child feeding programs, no child
will be discriminated against because of race, sex, color,
or national origin. * >
t Each school and the offjjbe of the Superintendent bas a
copy of the complete policy which may be reviewed by
any interested party.
