 The Community Eligibility Provision: What You Can Do
The Community Eligibility Provision (CEP) is a new opportunity for high-poverty schools to offer breakfast and lunch free of charge to all students. All students deserve to be well nourished and ready to learn. Act now to ensure your students and schools benefit from CEP!
In the coming school year, CEP will be available to California for the very first time. Districts must apply for CEP by June 30, 2014 in order to implement the provision in 2014-15.
