2025-2026 School Year Community Eligibility Program (CEP)
Interboro School District will continue to participate in the Community Eligibility Program (CEP). This program allows all students in the district to get a nutritional breakfast and lunch at no charge.

Each student is eligible to receive one (1) free breakfast and one (1) free lunch each school day. Second, meals, incomplete meals, and Ala Carte items will be charged.
The Community Eligibility Provision (CEP), a key provision of The Healthy, Hunger Free Kids Act of 2010, allows the nation’s highest poverty districts and schools to serve all students free meals without the burden of collecting household applications. This alternative saves districts and schools time and money by streamlining paperwork and administrative requirements. CEP gives food service professionals more time to focus on preparing nutritious meals their students will enjoy, and gives students more time to eat those meals by cutting down on time spent in the lunch line. Because all students receive meals at no charge, individual children at CEP schools no longer have to worry about the stigma associated with free or reduced price status. And most importantly, by offering all students a nutritious breakfast and lunch at no cost, CEP helps boost participation, helping schools ensure more students come to class well-nourished and ready to learn.

CEP can help increase access to the nutritious food children need to thrive. We hope you will join the effort to connect more children to healthy school meals by expanding CEP.
