Q. Why are some students receiving an invitation that don’t seem to meet the criteria?
A: Some families may not realize that they qualify for free and reduced priced meals due to how the data is collected. The district uses several methods to collect the information that qualifies a student, including Free and Reduced Meal applications and direct certification through other programs such as CalFRESH, CalWORKS, and MediCal.

Please note that school staff and administrators cannot see how or if a student qualifies based on any of these methods. There is a possibility that a parent filled out an application or the income survey incorrectly or qualified at the start of the school year and no longer qualifies. Some don’t realize that their income bracket qualifies their student. If a parent hasn’t filled out a free and reduced meals application this year, they should. Qualifying via the application process has added benefits. Read more on the Food and Nutrition Services webpage.
Q: How do I get out of the ELOP lis if our family does not qualify?
A: Please contact our food services team and asked to be removed our system at aassia@alamedaunified.org.
