Throughout the pandemic, the USDA made school meals available for free. The Knoxville School District wants families to know that the USDA free meals program is concluding at the end of this school year. Starting with the upcoming school year the district will once again collect payment for meals. Students may qualify for free or reduced-price meals and families are encouraged to apply and can start July 1. The federal income guidelines have increased so more families will qualify than in years past as the income guideline has increased 4.7% for the 2022-23 school year.
