Due to the proximity of the District to Naval Air Station-Corpus Christi, Flour Bluff ISD has approximately 20% of its student population whose parents or families are employed by the federal government. With the continuation of a partial government shutdown, some of our families may be experiencing a direct impact with the loss of benefits and furloughs for those that may work in parks, grant programs and on the local military bases. The District is encouraging any of our families who need assistance to reach out and take advantage of available resources such as free and reduced lunch, job opportunities and counseling services.
Free and Reduced Lunch Application
Flour Bluff ISD Student Nutrition participates in the federal funded free and reduced lunch program. The program requires parents to complete an online application and is largely based on financial need. Individuals who are currently impacted by the government shutdown are encouraged to apply for benefits for their children. Click here to access the online free and reduced lunch application. Once the application is completed and approved, a student can begin to receive free and/or reduced lunch within 24 hours and stay on the program for the duration of the school year. For additional information or questions, please contact the District’s Student Nutrition Department at 694-9034.
