Sixty-eight CMS schools this fall will offer free breakfast and lunch to all students. They are know as CEP or Community Eligibility Provision schools. More than than 100 CMS schools are non-CEP sites. Lists of the schools are at the bottom of this page.

Non-CEP

For families who might be eligible for the free- or reduced-price lunch but whose child or children are attending a non-CEP school, application for the lunch program requires an application, and the application period opens Aug. 1. Applications must be made annually, and one application covers all children in the family attending non-CEP schools. More information will be available on Aug. 1 here.

Students who qualify for the lunch program may also be eligible for discounts on fees associated with college applications, pay-to-play athletics, SAT and ACT scores.

CEP

More information for families at the 68 CEP schools is here, including instructions on how parents can qualify for the discounts mentioned above.
