Fairview Park City Schools announced its 2021-2022 program year policy for Free & Reduced-Priced Meals for students unable to pay the full price of meals or milk served under the National School Lunch and School Breakfast and After School Care Snack Program. Each school office and the central office have a copy of the policy, which may be reviewed by any interested party.

The Federal Income Eligibility Guidelines will be used for determining eligibility. Children from families whose annual income is at or below the Federal Guidelines are eligible for free and reduced-price meals. More information and applications are available online on our web site at www.fairviewparkschools.org. Additional copies are available at the principal’s office in each school. A complete application is required. Households which currently receive Special Nutrition Assistance Program Benefits (SNAP, formerly known as food stamps) or Ohio Works First (OWF) funds for a child must provide the child’s name, the SNAP or OWF case number and signature of an adult household member on the application. Households which do not receive SNAP or OWF funds must provide the names of all household members, the last four digits of the Social Security Number, the amount and source of income received by each household member, (state the monthly income) and the signature of an adult household member. If any of this information is missing, the school cannot process the application. Please only fill out one application per household. If you would like to review the information regarding the entire program, please log on to our web site at www.fairviewparkschools.org and click on Food Services.

All children in households receiving benefits from Ohio SNAP, or Ohio TANF, are eligible for free meals. Foster children that are under the legal responsibility of a foster care agency or court are eligible for free meals. Children participating in their school’s Head Start program are eligible for free meals. Children who meet the definition of homeless, runaway, or migrant are eligible for free meals.

Use one Free and Reduced Price School Meals Application for all students in your household. We cannot approve an application that is not complete, so be sure to fill out all required information.
