Free and Reduced Price Meals:
Centralia School District participates in the Free and Reduced Meal Pogram and the Direct Certification Program through through the State of California.
A student is automatically certified to receive free meals if their household currently receives Food Stamps (FS), or if he/she receives:
California Work Opportunity and Responsibility to Kids (CalWORKs)
Kinship Guardianship Assistance Payments (Kin-GAP)
Food Distribution Program on Indian Reservations (FDPIR) benefits
If a child is not direct certified for free or reduced price meals, the parent/guardian may apply for their child. Applications are available at all school offices and the District Office. See the Income Eligibility scale for qualifying information.
