Free & Reduced Price Program
2024-2025
For the 2024-2025 Douglas County School District RE-1 will provide no-cost Breakfast * where available, and Lunch for all
students.
Research shows students perform better at school when they are not hungry. By providing Breakfast * where available,
and Lunch to all students at no cost, we better support their learning.
Although all students will receive no-cost meals, it's still important for households to provide their income information
when requested. Gathering this information allows Douglas County School District RE-1 to receive the state and federal
funding we qualify for. These funds go directly to schools to help cover the cost of meals and support after-school
activities and other nutritional programs for students. Plus, qualifying households may be eligible for Summer EBT
benefits, and receive discounted school fees, class materials, bus passes, utilities support, and more. Providing household
income information ensures you and your school receive all available financial support.
This packet contains more information and the form to provide your household income information. While the following
pages may reference eligibility for free or reduced-price school meals, cost Breakfast * where available, and Lunch will be
provided free to all students regardless of household income.
Our school meals follow U.S. Department of Agriculture guidelines for healthy school meals. You can be confident your
children are getting quality school meals while saving your family time and money.
