A systematic approach to increase the number of
free and reduced applications, breakfast and lunch reimbursements , E-rate and Title
I funding.
The burdensome task of processing free or reduced school lunch applications is simultaneously
time consuming, tedious, error prone and frustrating. That being said school districts
that fail to perform this USDA program efficiently and thoroughly are losing tens
or even hundreds of thousands of dollars each school year in federal/state funding.
In addition to school lunch reimbursement, programs such as E-rate, Title I and
No Child Left Behind use free or reduced numbers to gage poverty.
The added pressure of having to complete the application process in the first 30
days of the school year for annual E-rate figures creates stress, pressure and inefficiency.
Who has an application on file? When is the temporary status expiring? What about
the incomplete forms? Did we send the approval-denial letter? Has the lunch status
changed? What is the E-rate at the high school?
