Online Application for Educational Benefits Open Now!
The free meal program ended on June 30, 2022. The federal program that allowed District 622 to offer free breakfast and lunch to all students expired on June 30, 2022. As a result, District 622 will revert back to free and reduced-price meals based on income eligibility guidelines set by the U.S. Department of Agriculture.
During the 22-23 school year, families who do not qualify for free or reduced-priced meals will have to pay for breakfast and lunch. All 622 families are asked to complete an application to see if they qualify. Completing the application also helps the district to receive extra funding to support student programs. Visit www.isd622.org/titanschoolsolutions for more information.
If you do qualify, you can get discounted rates on athletics and activities fees, swimming lessons, driver training, and community education courses, among other discounts. There are also many community discounts available for qualifying families. For information about these discounts, visit www.isd622.org/educationalbenefitsapp.
K-12 Minnesota tax benefits for families
If you're buying school supplies for your children in kindergarten through 12th grade, you may qualify for one or both of these tax relief programs:
- K-12 Education Subtraction
- K-12 Education Credit
Save your receipts, because both programs can help lower your taxes and may provide a larger refund when filing your Minnesota income tax return. Please view the flyer for more detailed information. Below are the translated documents in Hmong, Somali, and Spanish.
For more information on these programs and other valuable tax information, visit www.revenue.state.mn.us or call 651-296-3781.
