For the past two school years, the federal government has paid for meals as part of the pandemic recovery.

Now, parents that believe they qualify, will have to reapply for the free and reduced meal program.
Yankton School District Business Manager Jason Bietz says those applications can be filled out through October…..

Bietz says they will have a better idea of the program after the sign up….

Bietz says people will know how much they qualify for as soon as they sign up…..

Bietz says for those parents that have participated in the past, there will be a look back to 2019 for a reference.
