LOUISIANA DEPARTMENT OF EDUCATION
DIVISION OF NUTRITION ASSISTANCE
SCHOOL FOOD SERVICE SECTION
This is the public release that will be sent to The Franklin Sun on Aug. 3, 2009. These groups must be advised of program availability, new programs, or changes in existing programs.
The Franklin Parish Schools today announced its policy for free and reduced price meals served under the National School Lunch and/or School Breakfast Program(s). All schools and the central office have a copy of the policy, which may be reviewed by any interested party.
The following family size and annual income criteria will be used for determining eligibility:
ELIGIBILITY CRITERIA
Family Size Free Meals Reduced-Price Meals
1 $14,079 $20,036
2 $18,941 $26,955
3 $23,803 $33,874
4 $28,665 $40,793
5 $33,527 $47,712
6 $38,389 $54,631
7 $43,251 $61,550
8 $48,113 $68,469
For each +4,862 +6,919
additional family
member add:
Children from families whose income level is at or below the levels shown are eligible for free or reduced price meals. Application forms are being sent to all homes, along with a letter to households. To apply for free or reduced price meals, households should fill out one application for the household and return it to the school. Additional copies are available at the principal’s office in each school. Applications may be submitted at any time during the year. The information provided by the household is confidential; it will be used for the purpose of determining eligibility. Information may be verified at any time during the school year by school or other program officials.
For the school officials to determine eligibility, each household that is now receiving SNAP benefits (Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program, formerly the Food Stamp program) or that is on the Family Independence Temporary Assistance Program (FITAP) must provide its SNAP case number or FITAP number as well as the signature of an adult household member. All other households must provide the following information on the application: names of all household members; the social security number of either the parent/guardian who is the primary wage earner, or the adult household member who signs the application, or a statement that the household member does not possess one; the amount of income (before deductions for taxes, Social Security, etc.) each household member receives; how often the person receives the income; where it is from, such as wages, retirement, or welfare; and the signature of an adult household member certifying that the information provided is correct.
If a household member becomes unemployed or if the household size increases, the household should contact the school. Such changes may make the children of the household eligible for meal benefits.
Foster children who are the legal responsibility of a welfare agency or court may be eligible for benefits. If a household has foster children and wishes to apply for such meals for them, the household should contact the school for information.
Directly Certified Households
Households that receive SNAP (Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program, formerly the Food Stamp program) or FITAP benefits may be directed certified to receive free meals. These households are not required to complete an application, and will be notified by school officials of their eligibility. SNAP and FITAP households should complete an application if they are not notified of their eligibility by August 31, 2009.
School officials determine whether households are directly certified to receive free meals based on documentation obtained directly from the SNAP/FITAP office, which will certify that a child is a member of a household currently receiving SNAP benefits or an assistance unit receiving FITAP benefits. Households who are notified of their eligibility but do not want their children to receive free meals must contact the school.
Under the provisions of the free and reduced price policy, Toni Marzell (Determining Official) will review applications and determine eligibility. If a parent or guardian is dissatisfied with the ruling of the official, he may wish to discuss the decision with the determining official on an informal basis. If the parent wishes to make a formal appeal, he may make either an oral or written response to the following:
Name: Dr. Lanny Johnson, Superintendent
Address: 7293 Prairie Road, Winnsboro, La. 71295
Phone Number: 318-435-9046
The policy contains an outline of the hearing procedures.
Non-Discrimination Statement: This explains what to do if you believe you have been treated unfairly. “In accordance with Federal law and U.S. Department of Agriculture policy, this institution is prohibited from discriminating on the basis of race, color, national origin, sex, age, or disability. To file a complaint of discrimination, write USDA, Director, Office of Civil Rights, 1400 Independence Avenue, SW, Washington, D.C. 20250-9410 or call (800) 795-3271 or (202)720-6382 (TTY).

IMPORTANT NOTICE
To All Occupants and Residents of City of Winnsboro
Water and Sewer System
The City of Winnsboro will be conducting leak test in the sanitary sewer systems by blowing smoke into these pipes during the month of August. This smoke will reveal sources of sewer odors in your neighborhood as well as places where some and other surface waters are entering the sanitary system.
A photograph will be taken of leaks occurring in the system. In order to do so, our representatives may have to enter your yard, depending on where the leaks are located. At no time will it be necessary for our representatives to enter your home. We would appreciate your cooperation in allowing the photographer to take pictures.
A special, non-toxic smoke will be used in these tests. This smoke is manufactured for this purpose, leaves no residuals or stains and has no effects on plant or animal life. The smoke has a distinctive, but not unpleasant, order. Visibility and odor last only a few minutes, where there is adequate ventilation.
Because the plumbing appliances in your house or building are connected to the sanitary sewer system, some of this smoke may enter your house if the:
Vents connected to your buildingís sewer pipes are inadequate, defective or improperly installed.
Traps under sinks, tubs, basins, showers and other drains are dry, defective, improperly installed or missing.
Pipes, connections and seals of the wastewater drain system in and under your building are damaged, defective, have plugs missing or are improperly installed.
All residents are advised that if traces of this smoke or its order enter your house or building, it is an indication that gases and odors from the sewer may also enter. These can be both unpleasant and dangerous as well as a health hazard to the occupants. Location, identification and correction of the source of smoke that enters your house is urgently advised.
While the City of Winnsboro will render all possible cooperation, the correction of any defects in the pipes and sewer lines on private property is the responsibility of the owner. The services of a professional plumber are advised.
If you have any questions or desire more information, Please contact the City of Winnsboro 318-435-9087 During regular office hours
