This temporary eligibility will expire end of day October 22, 2024.

If a new application is not received at least 5 school days prior to the termination date, the child's account may be charged full price for the meals after the termination date until the new application is processed.
If you are not sure if an application has been completed for this current school year, please call Judy Oliphant at 208-624-7542.
