A SFSP site may operate in a suitable location within the attendance area of a school that has at least 50% of its' students eligible for free and reduced price meals during the school year.​ Free and reduced data from schools without defined attendance can only be used to qualify that particular school. More recent free/reduced data may be submitted to DPI for review to determine if it may be used to establish 2024 eligibility.
