If you are utilizing MySchoolApps to accept Economic Benefit Surveys and you do not wish to display Meal Prices during the application process, enter 0 for Number of meal prices to display. You may also choose to hide USDA Income Eligibility Guidelines.

You must populate the appropriate fields. For example, if you have 3 different meal prices for your elementary, middle, and high schools, set the prices (price 1, 2, 3) and the meal price description then set this value to 3.

If some of your schools do not participate in the Breakfast program, clear the corresponding meal price fields so they are blank. Leaving the fields blank will be displayed as dashes where a meal price would normally show within the meal prices section on an application.

If none of your schools participate in the Breakfast program, clear the corresponding meal price fields so they are blank. The Breakfast Prices column will be suppressed to the applicant.
