Freer ISD School Lunch Policy
Aug 4, 2021 | Public Notice
Freer ISD announced its policy today that this school year, healthy meals will be offered every school
day to all students at no cost. Typically, a student’s household must meet income eligibility requirements
to qualify for free or reduced-price meals. However, the United States Department of Agriculture (USDA)
issued guidance that allows schools to offer meals to all students at no cost for the 2021-2022 school
year. Each school/site or central office has a copy of the policy, which may be reviewed upon
request.
While no application or eligibility determination process is required for your student to receive free meals
this school year, the income eligibility requirement will likely resume in the 2022-2023 school year.
In accordance with Federal civil rights law and U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA) civil rights
regulations and policies, the USDA, its Agencies, offices, and employees, and institutions participating in
or administering USDA programs are prohibited from discriminating based on race, color, national origin,
sex, disability, age, or reprisal or retaliation for prior civil rights activity in any program or activity
conducted or funded by USDA. Persons with disabilities who require alternative means of communication
for program information (e.g. Braille, large print, audiotape, American Sign Language, etc.), should
contact the Agency (State or local) where they applied for benefits. Individuals who are deaf, hard of
hearing or have speech disabilities may contact USDA through the Federal Relay Service at (800) 877-8339
Additionally, program information may be made available in languages other than English.
To file a program complaint of discrimination, complete the USDA Program Discrimination Complaint
Form, (AD-3027) found online at: https://www.usda.gov/oascr/how-to-file-a-program-discrimination-
complaint, and at any USDA office, or write a letter addressed to USDA and provide in the letter all of the
information requested in the form. To request a copy of the complaint form, call (866) 632-9992. Submit
your completed form or letter to USDA by: (1) mail: U.S. Department of Agriculture, Office of the
