The district announced Wednesday that all HISD students will receive three free meals per day for the 2017-2018 school year as part of the National School Lunch/Breakfast Program.

HISD is still asking all students to fill out a waiver application, which is available on mealapps.houstonisd.org. The information received in the forms helps the district to secure funding and track student data.
The waiver will take effect when the school year begins.

"This waiver will give our families one less concern as they begin the process of restoring their lives," said HISD Superintendent Richard Carranza. "It will also provide a sense of normalcy by allowing students to have access to up to three nutritious meals each and every school day."
