Free/Reduced-Price
Meals
Free and reduced-price lunches are available to students unable
to pay the full price of meals according to criteria based on household
size and income. Applications are available in Arabic, Spanish, Korean,
Vietnamese, Farsi, and Urdu.
Free and reduced price meal applications are mailed to all households
annually. If you do not receive an application in the mail or if
you experience an income or household size change, an application
is available at your local school or contact Food and Nutrition Services at 703-813-4800 or 703-813-4844.
Families who earn less than 130 percent of the poverty level are
eligible for free meals and those with incomes between 130 and 185
percent of poverty level qualify for reduced price meals. Today,
approximately 19 percent of the student enrollment qualify for free
and reduced price meals. The prices for paid breakfast and lunch
are determined by the School Board and the price of reduced price
meals are established by the federal government.
