District says students remain eligible for free meals as CEP reapplication approaches
Summary
Mr. Miles told the board students will continue to receive free breakfast and lunch under the federal Community Eligibility Provision and that the district will reapply in April; adult lunch fees will rise slightly to reflect federal reimbursement changes.
Mr. Miles presented the proposed adult lunch rates for the 2026–27 school year and stressed that student meals remain free under the federal Community Eligibility Provision (CEP). "Good news again, our students will receive free breakfast and lunch, through the the federal CEP program," he said, and added the district will reapply for CEP in April.
Miles told the board that adult fees are tied to the federal reimbursement formula and that small adult fee increases reflect adjustments in what the district receives back for student meals. He asked for board approval later in the meeting to allow the district to charge the updated adult rates in a time‑sensitive manner.
