Casco Bay High School strives to have a student body that reflects Portland. As a part of that, we request your permission for the Food Services Director to share (only) with the CBHS principal information about your lunch status: free, reduced or full-paying. Checking the box below will help us to ensure we continue to be demographically representative, but it will not change whether your child gets free or reduced price meals. Your lunch status will never be publicly disclosed. If you do not provide consent below, your student will be considered as “full-paying” for the purposes of any lottery.
