Taking Advantage of CEP this School Year
The Community Eligibility Provision (CEP) provides school meals to students at no cost to them. With rising food insecurity due to COVID-19, CEP will be a lifeline for students and families in the coming school year. At the same time, rising SNAP participation will make CEP a more financially viable option for many schools and districts. Among its numerous benefits, CEP simplifies counting and claiming (hello, meals in the classroom!), eliminates school meals debt, and improves student behavioral and academic outcomes. Are you considering adopting or expanding CEP this school year? Newly eligible and want to learn more? Join this webinar to learn more about how to make CEP work for your team and your students this year.
