Attention Families:
Since the start of the COVID-19 pandemic, Oak Hill schools have been operating with the use of a USDA waiver that allowed us to feed every child for free through the end of this past school year.
The use of this waiver will not be available after June 30, 2022, and we will return to the traditional eligibility requirements for free, reduced, and paid meals.
This means that for School Year 2022-2023, our school corporation will process free and reduced-price meal benefit applications. Breakfast and lunch will no longer be free for all students.
You do NOT need to complete an application if:
- You receive notification that your child(ren) is directly certified due to SNAP, TANF, some Medicaid, are certified as homeless, migrant, or are wards of the state (foster children).
- You know your household does not qualify for meal benefits (please have money in your child's account on the first day of school)
Meal benefit applications will not be available until July 1*. Households are encouraged to apply before the start of the school year to avoid unpaid meal charges. Students who are not approved for free or reduced-price meal benefits before the start of the school year will be classified as paid status and meal charges may begin to accumulate starting the first day of school. Meal charges accrued before the approval of a meal benefit application will be the responsibility of the household.
* Applications received prior to July 1 will not be effective for the 2022-23 school year.
