Criteria adjusted for reduced lunches Special to the PERQUIMANS WEEKLY from the Perquimans County Board of Education The Perquimans County Board of Education an nounced today that due to the passage of Public Law 96-499, the family size and income eligibility criteria for free and reduced price meals for children served under the National School Lunch and School Breakfast Programs has changed for the remainder of the school year. This is a federal mandate and not a local decision. The following income scale will be used for determining eligibility: FOB FREE MEALS Family Per Per Per Size Yr. Mth. Wk. 1 15,700 475 110 2 $ 7,220 602 139 3 1 8,750 729 168 4 $10,270 856 198 5 $11,800 983 227 6 $13,320 1,110 256 7 $14,850 1,238 286 8 $16,370 1,364 315 FOR BEDUCED PRICE MEALS Family Per Per Per Size Yr. Mth. Wk. 1 $ 8,350 696 161 2 $10,730 894 206 3 $13,110 1,093 252 4 $15,490 1,291 298 5 $17,870 1,489 344 6 $20,250 1,688 389 7 $22,620 1,885 435 8 $25,000 2,083 481 For each additional family member for free meals, add $1,530 to the last year total, $128 to the last month total, and $29 to the last week total in the column above. Each additional family aber for reduced price meals, add (2,380 to the last year total, $198 to the last month total, and $46 to the last week total in the column above. Children from families whose income is at or below the levels shown are eligible for free or reduced price meals. However, the four special hardship conditions (usually high medical ex penses, shelter costs in excess of 30 percent of income, special education expenses due to mental or physical condition of a child, and disaster or casualty losses) have been eliminated. A standard deduction for each household has been in corporated into the income scale instead. The applications which are currently on file are being re evaluated to determine whether children are eligible for free benefits or for reduced price meals under the new criteria. Famlies of children whose benefits are reduced or terminated will receive written notice of the change at least 10 days before the ef fective date of the change. Families who wish to submit a new application may obtain a form from each school's office. The information provided on the application is confidential and will be used only for the purpose of determining eligibility. A simple statement of income and family siie is required, plus a signed certification by an adult household member that the information provided is correct 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 for them, it should contact the school. The school principals will reveiw applications and determine eligibility. If a parent is dissatisfied with the decision of the determining official, he or she may wish to discuss it with the official on an informal basis. If he wishes to make a formal appeal, he may make a request either orally or in writing to James P. Harrell, P.O. Box 3)7. Hertford. N.C. 27944; 426-5741 for a hearing to appeal the decision. Perquimans County's free and reduced price meal policy contains an outline of the hearing procedure. If a family member becomes unemployed or the family siie or income chanfes, 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 tree meals, if the family income falls at or below the levels shown. All children are treated the same regardless of ability to pay. In the operation of child feeding programs, no child will be discriminated against because of race, color, or national origin. Tag experiment Stripers are stocked in sound The first coastal stocking of tagged six to ten inch striped bass (rockfish) in the Albemarle Sound took place recently. The 10,000 fish were raised at the Edenton National Fish Ha^hery, Chowan County, by the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service and transported to Albemarle Sound to continue an experiment which started last year. This past autumn some 70,000 untagged 6 to 10 inchers were stocked in the Sound. The fish sport a bright yellow tag attached to their backs. The possibility of future coastal stockings of the bass could depend on the tags. Biologists with the N.C. Division of Marine Fisheries placed tags in the fish so they could keep track of the rode fish. The biologists want to know how many survive and where the fish travel in their new environment. Fishermen who later catch the fish should return the tag (address is on the tag) to the biologists. In addition to being a vital link in gathering necessary information, fishermen also receive a lottery type reward that ranges from $1 to $25 for each tag. The fish should grow to harvestable 12-inch sixe by next autumn. "It is a cooperative feasibility study with the state and the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service," said Harrel John son, N.C. Divisin of Marine Fisheries Biologist in charge of the tagging project Johnson, and Elliott At stupenas, hatchery manager, thought it might be a good idea to raise some of the striped bass to the larger sixe. Fish released from the hatchery at a larger size should have a better survival rate in the wild, and also raising the fish to a larger size for coastal waters would fit into a slack season at the hatchery. In addition to fish survival the project has to prove cost ef fective. The schedule had called for the 1981 stocking to go in the Neuse or Tar-Pamlico River systems. However, Johnson said, because of declining populations in the Albemarle Sound, the schedule was changed so the Albemarle would receive the fish this year. In addition to the < to 10 inch fish, some (55,000 two-to-three inch stripers from the Edentoo Hatchery and N.C. Wildlife Resources Com mission hatcheries were stocked in Albemarle from May to July 1N0. Stocking in Albemarle Sound is an experimental program to find oat if hat chery fish can have a positive effect M the population. Advanced fingerlings are stocked in an effort to even tually increase the spawnfcg stock. If poor water quality con ditions in Roanoke River and western Albemarle Sound are contributing to high mortality of larval striped bass, or if a suitable food supply is not being produced for toe larvae in the nursery area, fingerlings stocked after the normal eateMMuac* of a year class sboaM have a reUtivey high survival rate. The* (ingerliags can sup plement the naturally produced fish in the spawning population and in the fisheries. The study will last two more years. In IMS. plans call for some 00,000 stripers to he placed in the Nense or Tar Pamtko River systems. A percentage of these fish will also be tagged. If the experiment proves successful, perhaps 100,000 to 190,000 0-inch striped bass coold he p'yof* in waters each winter. The stripers are placed in areas where their kind are fMBd this time of year. The fish will be placed where they striped bass populations are -A m Dottftrning. Atstnpenas ud Johnson both look to the Mare where hatchery fish could become more important In coastal fisheries. ? Holiday Island (Continued from page 1) service* director Paul Gregory brought back figures of the cost to the county of providing raises for social services employees of six, eight aad ten per cent.
