At the June 18 meeting the Cerro Gordo CUSD #100 Board of Education voted to disapprove the Community Eligibility Provision (CEP) and to continue with school meal fees for the 2025–26 school year.
The motion to disapprove CEP was made by Curran and seconded by Howell; roll call recorded Miller, Runyen, Bebar, Curran and Howell as voting yea. The minutes do not include further detail about the board's rationale or any estimated number of students affected.
