Community Eligibility Program

  • Select Knox County schools will be taking part in the Community Eligibility Program during the 24-25 school year. What this means is that students attending a participating school will be offered both breakfast and lunch meals at no charge, regardless of eligibility status. See a complete listing of schools.

Free & Reduced Applications

  • We are slowly moving away from paper applications for Free & Reduced. We will offer a limited number of paper applications in order to offer more efficient and speedier application processing. To apply, go to LINQ Connect.

    • A letter with more information will be sent to you. If you have not received a letter, please contact your student's school office for one.
    • If your student attends a school participating in the Community Eligibility Program, you will NOT have to fill out a traditional Free & Reduced application as you have in prior years. If you have a student attending a non-participating school, you will need to complete a Free & Reduced application.
