The Academy Independent School District announced that it will offer free meals to all students during the upcoming school year. âTypically a studentâs household must meet income eligibility requirements to qualify for free or reduced-price meals,â the district said in a news release. âHowever, the United States Department of Agriculture issued guidance that allows schools to offer meals to all students at no cost for the 2021-22 school year.â Although no application or eligibility requirement is necessary for this school year, Academy ISD expects both to resume for the 2022-23 school year.
