JEROMESVILLE (8/18/22)--Unfortunately, the waiver from the US Department of Agriculture (USDA) allowing school districts to provide free meals for students during the 2020-2021 and 2021-2022 school years has expired.
Lunch and breakfast charges will resume for the 2022-2023 school year at Hillsdale Schools unless a student has been approved to receive free meals.
We encourage ALL of our families--whether they need or will use the assistance--to complete the free- and reduced-lunch application.
Completion of this application could help the district qualify for additional federal funding and grant money that can be used to benefit all students in the district.
Free meals are available to families who qualify by completing the application. Hillsdale Schools is also offering free meals to those who qualify for reduced-price meals.
In addition, Hillsdale Schools is waiving school fees for the 2022-2023 school year for the families who qualify for free- and reduced-price meals.
Eligibility is based on family size and income guidelines developed by the USDA.
The information shared in the application is completely confidential and is sent directly to the Food Service Coordinator for HLSD.
