1995-96 INCOME ELIGIBILITY GUIDELINES

The Lubbock Independent School District offers free or reduced-price meals for children from families whose income is at or below guideline levels.

Eligible families may apply to each campus at the beginning of the school year. Foster children are also eligible for the benefits.

A letter from Superintendent Curtis Culwell, containing information on the free or reduced-price meals, will be distributed to students to take home to parents. In the operation of the child-feeding program, no child will be discriminated against because of race, sex, color, national origin, age, or physical challenge.

Under provisions of the free or reduced-price meal policy, all applications will be reviewed by the local Director of Food Services at 3501 Avenue G. If a parent is dissatisfied with the ruling of the official, he/she may make a request either orally or in writing for a hearing to appeal the decision. The request should be directed to Darwin Hilliard, Executive Director of Purchasing and Contract Services, 1628 19th Street, telephone 766-1098. The school district’s policy contains an outline of the hearing procedure.

The following income guidelines will be used to determine eligibility for free or reduced-price meals:
