The program provides eligible students with meals at little or no cost or at a reduced price. Prior approval does not roll over to the next school year unless a family has received official notice of eligibility. “We want to make sure every family who may qualify for meal benefits has the opportunity to apply,” said Karen Barber, superintendent of Santa Rosa County District Schools, in a news release. “School meals are an important resource for many students, and the online application process makes it easy for families to apply.” For questions about eligibility requirements or the application process, contact Heather Blades in the Food Services Department at bladesh@santarosa.k12.fl.us or 850-983-5150, ext.
