(BOISE) - Families in Idaho can now view the 2023-2024 income guidelines and apply for free and reduced-price meals for the upcoming school year.

Each year, the Idaho State Department of Education Child Nutrition Programs announces the income guidelines for free and reduced-price meals for students in schools operating the National School Lunch and School Breakfast Programs, and for free milk in schools operating the Special Milk Program. In the operation of child feeding programs, no child will be discriminated against because of race, sex, color, national origin, age or disability.

Free and reduced-price meals are available for eligible students, and qualifying schools may offer the Special Milk Program.
