Free/Reduced Meal Program & Title 1 Grant Funding

FOR ALL STAFF
The school district has started an awareness campaign of the free and reduced meal program to help more families who may need assistance and to possibly gain additional Title 1 grant funds for the schools.

As you may know, the number of families accessing the free meals for students from our school nutrition department during the school closure increased each week. More than 1,000 bags of food were distributed in one week in May.

We feel there is a need in the community for the assistance the free and reduced program can provide. In addition, if more families are aware of this assistance they may be eligible for and then may receive, our schools will be eligible for additional Title 1 funding.

Please contact me if you have any questions at nkunkler@wbsd-schools.org.
