The Indianola School District has released a statement regarding the end of the federal government funded program that allows all students access to free meals during the COVID-19 pandemic. The result of the program ending means all families will need to carry a positive balance in their children’s school meal accounts. The school district has released steps parents and families can take to prepare for the change, including completing the 2022-23 application for free and reduced lunches and preparing a budget for the cost of school lunches.
