Many state and federal funding programs use the data from FRPM forms to determine how much support a school receives—even if no one eats a single lunch. This includes:

• Academic support services and specialists
• Technology upgrades and classroom resources
• Grants for enrichment, wellness, and language program

Even if your child doesn’t qualify, your completed form helps us paint a clearer picture of our community’s needs—and that influences funding across the board.
