Klein ISD is continuing to offer free and reduced-price breakfast and lunch meals to eligible students during the 2020-2021 school year. The deadline to reapply to continue receiving benefits is October 21, 2020.
Thanks to recent USDA waiver extensions, all students will continue to receive free breakfasts and lunches through December 2020 regardless of eligibility. Students enrolled in Klein On Campus may receive both breakfast and lunch meals daily on campus. Klein Online students are also eligible to receive meals free of charge by visiting any of our Klein2Go stations on Tuesdays.
Students who are eligible for free and reduced-price lunches and breakfasts may also qualify for in-home affordable internet, waived fees for SAT/ACT tests, reduced cost for Advanced Placement exams, reduced cost for International Baccalaureate exams, and waived laptop fees for the 2020-2021 school year.
