Meal Prices Remain the Same

School district meal prices will remain the same for the 2023-24 school year. Families are highly encouraged to complete the Free/Reduced Meal Application for possible qualification. Paper applications will be available to families at Open House events.

The Free/Reduced Meal Program not only helps families, it gives the district a more accurate picture of student needs as the percentage of students qualifying for free/reduced price meals is a national measure of poverty. The annual rate is used to determine how much federal funding will flow to school districts and how much extra support- primarily staffing like Reading Specialist and additional teaching staff for schools with the highest free/reduced percentages. Additionally, these rates help districts qualify for free Summer Programing meal wavers that MVR-III has qualified for in past years which benefit all students.
