ALL STUDENTS EAT FREE DURING THE 2021-2022 SCHOOL YEAR!!!
There are no Free/Reduced Meal Applications for the 2021-2022 school year.
The Household Economic Survey (HES) has been generated by the Kansas State Department of Education to replace the
Free/Reduced Meal Application to direct additional funding to local educational programs.
USD 407 NEEDS YOUR HELP!!!!! All families are encouraged to complete the Household Economic Survey. This
form is included with the online enrollment forms. Eligibility determination will be made according to the established
guidelines. Families that qualify under the guidelines receive free or reduced textbook fees, AND the district will receive
the funds accordingly.
USD 407 receives state monetary aid based on your family’s completion of forms. Without your help, USD 407 may lose
free state money that is crucial to providing services/school.
