District officials say reimbursement from the state covers only part of the hot lunch costs. Families with income up to a scale may receive free or reduced price meals, with exceptions for high medical bills, special education costs, or disaster losses. Applications are available at all public schools, require income and family size details, and must be filed to determine eligibility within 10 days. Foster children may qualify, and hearings can be requested in writing to the superintendent at 939 Beloit Ave.
