Income criteria set for free school lunches

The Guilderland, Berne-Knox-Westerlo, Voorheesville, and Bethlehem school districts have released the income criteria for students to qualify for free or re­duced-price lunches. All four dis­tricts have the same standard, based on family size and income.

In order to qualify for free lunch or breakfast, a family of one must have an annual income of less than $15,444. For each additional person in the household, $5,408 is added. So, a household of four must have an income of less than $31,590 to qualify.

Breakfast and lunch also are of­fered at reduced rates. To qual­ify, a family of one must have an income of less than $21,978. For each additional person in the household, $7,696 is added. So, a household of four must have an income of less than $44,955 to qualify.
