Granton board votes to leave Community Eligibility Provision; meals to be charged by eligibility
Summary
The Granton board voted to disenroll from the Community Eligibility Provision for 2025–26; breakfast and lunch will be charged based on each student's free, reduced or paid eligibility status.
The Granton Area School District board voted July 14 to disenroll from the federal Community Eligibility Provision for the 2025–26 school year, meaning school meals will no longer be universally provided and instead will be billed according to free, reduced-price, or paid eligibility.
"Motion to disenroll from the CEP program for the 2025-26 school year and begin charging for school breakfast and lunches based on free, reduced or paid eligibility," said Mark Elmhorst when making the motion; Erica Bender seconded and the voice vote carried. The minutes do not include projected revenue or estimated meal counts tied to the change.
Board members did not record additional analysis in the meeting minutes; administrators will need to provide families with information about meal prices and eligibility procedures before the school year begins.
