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.
