Did Your Free or Reduced-Price Meal Benefit Expire?
Effective September 24, 2020, free and reduced-price meal benefits that carried over from 2019-2020 the school year have expired. All households that did not fill out a Federal meal application for the current school year has now been transferred to full-paid eligibility status.
Although all Plano ISD students are currently receiving free breakfast and lunch due to a waiver from the USDA, please note that this waiver is in place until December 31, 2020, or when funds run out. If you depend on free or reduced-price meals for your child(ren), please be sure to complete the application process so that you have the needed support in place when the district returns to regular operations and free meals for all come to an end.
To complete a federal meal application, visit www.schoolcafe.com/pisd. Please allow 10 business days for application processing.
