SAN ANGELO, TX — San Angelo ISD recently posted the applications for free and assisted school lunches ahead of the 2024-25 school year.
The National School Lunch Program (NSLP) offers federally assisted meals to over 3 million Texas children, including those in the San Angelo ISD. Eligible families can receive free or reduced-price lunches for their students during the 2024-2025 school year, with universal free breakfast still provided daily.
Families are urged to complete a brief online application to determine eligibility before the school year begins on August 15. A single application per household suffices. Qualifying for these meals can lead to additional federal and state funding for the child’s school and district. Paper applications are also available at the Child Nutrition Services Office at 305 Baker Street, San Angelo, TX 76903.
