Are there students who qualify for the free and reduced price meal program but not for Option 1 or 2?
No. All students who qualify for the free and reduced price meal program qualify as Option 1 students. In addition, California Education Code, 52241(B)(3), states that a student who attends a school in which 75 percent or more of the students enrolled are eligible for the federal free and reduced price meal program qualifies for the AP Fee Reimbursement. This student is considered an Option 1 student even though their family income may exceed the Option 1 criteria.
