The press release said families may apply online at www.myschoolapps.com or fill out an application at 601 W. Lewis St., Conroe, and give it to Free and Reduced Specialist Dina Herrick.

CISD is working to identify the students who qualify due to their status or enrollment and will inform them they do not need to fill out an application, according to the press release.

Households wishing to decline benefits may reach out to Herrick at 936-709-8197 or [email protected].
