Responding to an order from the State Department of Education concerning hot lunch programs for disadvantaged elementary students, the Ann Arbor Board of Education has authorized a pilot program for the s e c o n d semester at these four schools. The purpose of the survey is to determine the number of eligible students for this hot lunch program.
