Some parents became eligible for free and reduced lunch in May 2020. They would receive $91.20 per eligible child, which covers the cost of meals for 16 school days in May. The initial PEBT application period closed on June 15, 2020, and served 407,800 children. This second application period is aimed at the 264,111 children who qualified but did not receive PEBT the first time.

Good afternoon! We look forward to having students back in school tomorrow, Thursday, Sept. 3.

If you are without electricity or internet and unable to attend school or complete assignments, please inform your school. The absence will not count against your child, and make- up work will be permitted once your electricity and internet have been restored. Students will be responsible for making up the work, or grades will be affected. Please remind your child to have a mask in grades 3-12, and social distancing is still required.

RE: Updated info regarding school closures
DATE: Tuesday, September 1, 2020

Lincoln Parish Schools will remain CLOSED Wednesday, September 2, 2020. No students, teachers, or paras should report to schools. All other personnel should report and work at the discretion of school principals. The Lincoln Parish School Board office will remain open.
As of 12:00 on Tuesday, September 1, three schools remain without electricity. Not all transportation routes can be safely run. More food than first thought had to be discarded, and we cannot effectively/securely serve meals. Quite a large number of teachers and students' homes remain without electricity.

We tentatively plan to open schools on Thursday, September 3, 2020.
