Free/Reduced-Price
Meals
Free and reduced-price lunches are available to students
unable to pay the full price of meals according to criteria based on
household size and income. Free and reduced price meal applications
are mailed to all households annually. If you do not receive an application
in the mail or if you experience an income or household size change,
an application is available at your local school or contact Food and
Nutrition Services at 610-240-1955 or 610-240-1956. Families who earn
less than 130 percent of the poverty level are eligible for free meals
and those with incomes between 130 and 185 percent of poverty level
qualify for reduced price meals. The prices for paid breakfast and lunch
are determined by the School Board and the price of reduced price meals
are established by the federal government. Reduced price lunch is currently
$.40 and reduced price breakfast is $.30 cents.
