District to hold meal prices steady; two more schools qualify for free-meal CEP
Summary
The district proposed no change to meal prices for the coming year and recommended adding Intermediate North and North Dover to the Community Eligibility Provision (CEP) list after both exceeded the 40% free-and-reduced threshold, which would increase reimbursable meals provided to students.
District staff told the board that proposed student meal prices for the coming school year would remain unchanged from the prior year. "Meal prices proposed for next year would be the same as last year," a staff member said, noting that pricing had been reduced by 18–25% the previous year and that the district does not plan to increase those rates now.
Staff recommended adding two schools to the district’s CEP roster—Intermediate North and North Dover—because each now exceeds the 40% free-and-reduced eligibility threshold. Officials said that bringing those schools into CEP would expand free meal access for students and change reimbursement levels, and they will monitor eligibility annually to identify other schools that meet the threshold.
