The Free and Reduced Lunch Program
Discovery Charter School will continue to operate the free and reduced lunch program. The program is more than just lunches. This program also establishes eligibility for such benefits as the reduced/waived fees for the school year.
Meal charge policy and procedure
Students may automatically qualify for Free or Reduced Lunch or may apply for the program. Note: Students who automatically qualify will be contacted via email or letter. To avoid disruption of benefits, please fill out an application. Families who previously filled out an application and were approved for the 24-25 school year should fill out a 25-26 application as well to avoid a disruption in benefits.
To apply, please see the following:
