The U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA) has approved funding to offer all students breakfast and lunch at no cost for the 2021-2022 school year regardless of eligibility status, income, need or other defining characteristics. However, the PPS administration notes, “qualifying for free or reduced-price meals may provide your family with additional benefits such as P-EBT funding, reduced rates for sports, and potential free college applications, so please be sure to fill out a free application if you are potentially eligible.”
