All Dishman Students from Spring 2020 Qualify for Pandemic EBT

All Dishman students enrolled in Spring 2020 qualify for the Pandemic EBT benefit.The Office of Superintendent of Public Instruction and the Department of Social and Health Services have teamed up to create a new program called Pandemic EBT, or P-EBT, for short. These benefits will help families most impacted by the COVID-19 crisis to continue to have access to nutritious meals. P-EBT is available for students, including children of immigrant households, who were enrolled in a K-12
school that offered a school lunch program during the 2019-20 school year AND were eligible for free or reduced-price school meals; or attended a school where meals were free for all students. All students at Dishman receive free meals as a Community Eligibility Site and are, therefore, able to qualify for P-EBT
