Books and Reduced/Free Food Application Added to USD 234 Food Distribution

USD 234 Board of Education Building, 424 S. Main

USD 234 continues to distribute food in the district to its students during this time of the COVID 19 pandemic, and parents are encouraged to fill out applications for free and reduced meals for the next school year.

There will be a book distribution and the free and reduced food applications will be handed out in preparation for next school year on April 27 during the food distribution.

“We do have two items that will be in addition next week,” Gina Shelton,  USD 234 Business Manager/Board Clerk, said.

“First, on Tuesday, weather permitting, we will be distributing to kids books donated by Hedgehog INK and the (Fort Scott) Kiwanis,” Shelton said.   “We know the importance of kids continuing to read and this way they have a ‘new to them’ book to keep their interest.  We will be encouraging parents to read with their kids.  What a beautiful gift to our kids.”

“Second, also on Tuesday, we will be handing out free and reduced applications,” she said. ” The benefit to this school year is that sometimes there are programs where the agencies request a letter from the school of that status.  The true benefit is next school year.  The application includes a 30-day carry over to the next school year so if a parent’s financial status has changed, and we have seen those, they would start the next school year with that status.  This might provide some help as it relates to paying for a child’s meal.  Those that may not have qualified in the past may qualify now.”
