LANSING – The Michigan Department of Education has announced the household income guidelines established by the United
States Department of Agriculture for free and reduced price meals and free milk through the National School Lunch, School
Breakfast, Special Milk, and Child and Adult Care Food Programs. The income guidelines are effective from July 1, 2016,
