The school must have at least 50% of students qualified for a free or reduced-price lunch during the preceding school year. A non-competitive application will need to be submitted prior to schools taking part in the program.
The department is developing guidelines to allocate and disburse the funding to participating schools. The guidelines will be posted on this webpage and discussed at meetings.
