A change in school meal policies is affecting some local families. Certain Houston ISD campuses are altering their approach to providing meals. Families with students at these schools may need to take additional steps to receive free or reduced-price meals.

Further details are available for parents who want to learn more about the new requirements. It is known that some campuses are no longer participating in a federal program that previously allowed them to provide free meals to all students. Parents can find out how to apply for meal benefits and determine their eligibility for free or reduced-cost meals by consulting the Houston ISD for more information.
