Free or Reduced Price Meal Applications
|
Free or
reduced-price school meals may be available for St. Paul
Public Schools families
experiencing financial hardship, even if that hardship is temporary. A
household of four with a weekly income of $755 or less may qualify.
Families who receive Food Stamps, MFIP, WIC
or FDPIR benefits also may qualify. If an application for Free and
Reduced meals
has not been submitted yet for this school year, families can call
651-603-4950. |
In August, an application is mailed to every household in the district.
If you do not receive an
application or if you are new to the district, use the Application for Educational Benefits
available by calling (651) 603-4950 to have one mailed to you or you
can pick one up at your child's school. Applications for foster
children or children residing in a residential institution can also be obtained
by calling or stopping by. We cannot approve an application that is not
complete, so be sure to fill out all required information.
To provide the best service to
the families of our students, we process these applications by
computer. To speed the processing, please print neatly using a
black pen and stay within the boxes provided.
