During the COVID-19 pandemic, Congress authorized spending that allowed schools to serve free meals for all students. Those funds are not authorized to continue for the 2022-2023 school year. As a result, Central Heights ISD must return to charging for school meals and offering free and reduced-price meals based on student eligibility. Families are encouraged to complete the Application for Free and Reduced-Price School Meals, available at https://www.mealappnow.com/mancht/splash.php . If you need a hard copy to complete and turn back in to the school, they are available at any of the campus offices.

Durante la pandemia de COVID-19, el Congreso autorizó fondos especiales a las escuelas para servir comidas gratuitas a todos los estudiantes. Estos fondos no estarán disponibles para el año escolar de 2022 al 2023. Como resultado, CHISD deberá volver a cobrar por las comidas escolares y ofrecer comidas gratuitas y a precio reducido en base a la elegibilidad del estudiante. Se invita a cada familia a completar la Solicitud Para Recibir Comidas Escolares Gratuitas y a Precio Reducido, disponible en https://www.mealappnow.com/mancht/splash.php. Si desea completar una copia en papel y devolverla a la escuela, están disponibles en cualquiera de las oficinas del campus o en el sitio web de la escuela.
