Donegal Sets Policy For Free
And Reduced Lunch Prices
September 5, 1973
The Donegal School District has announced a free and reduced price
lunch and-or breakfast policy for school children unable to pay the full
price.
Local school officials have adopted the following family size and
income scale to assist them in determining eligibility:
FAMILY SIZE FREE MEALS REDUCED PRICE MEALS
One $0 to $2,740 $2,741 to $3,280
Two $0 to $3,600 $3,601 to $4,320
Three $0 to $4,460 $4,461 to $5,360
Four $0 to $5,310 $5,311 to $6,380
Five $0 to $6,100 $6,101 to $7,320
Six $0 to $6,890 $6,891 to $8,260
. Seven- $0 to $7,600 $7,601 to $9,120
Eight $0 to $8,310 $8,311 to $9,980
Nine $0 to $8,960 $8,961 to $10,750
Ten $0 to $9,600 $9,601 to $11,520
Eleven $0 to $10,240 $10,241 to $12,290
Twelve $0 to $10,880 $10,881 to $13,060
Each additional
family member add-----$640 add-----$770
Families falling within these scales, or thase suffering from unusual
circumstances or hardships such as unusually high medical expenses,
shelter costs in excess of 30 percent of reported income, special
education expenses due to the mental or physical condition of a child,
or disaster or casualty losses, may apply for free or reduced price
lunches and-or breakfasts for their children.
In certain cases, foster cihildren also are eligible for these benefits.
If a family has such children living with them and wishes to apply for
such meals for them, the family should contact the school. They may
do so by filling in the application forms sent home in a letter to
parents. Additional copies are available at the principal's office in
each school.
Applications may be submitted any time during the school year. The
form itself is simple to complete, and requests information needed to
determine economic need based on the income and number of persons
in the family and any unusual circumstances or hardships which af-
fect the family’s ability to pay for school lunches.
The information provided on the application will be confidential, and
will be used only for the purpose of determining eligibility, Donegal
officials say.
Under the provisions of the policy, the superintendent of schools will
review applications and determine eligibility. If a parent is
dissatisfied with the ruling, he may make a request, either orally or in
writing, for a hearing to appeal the decision. R.F. Hallgren, whose
address is P.O. Box 297, Mount Joy, Pa. 17552, has been designated as
the hearing official.
The policy also provides that there will be no identification and-or
discrimination against any child because of his race, color, national
originor ineligibility to pay the full price of the meal.

different than Penn's Woods. It
conceivably could be Penn’s
