Lee County Schools and the Child Nutrition Department is excited to announce the implementation of the Community Eligibility Provision (CEP) at each campus in our district. This provision enables each student the opportunity to receive a breakfast and lunch at no charge on days that school is in session. Students are no longer required to submit forms to obtain these free meals in Lee County Schools.
If you have additional questions not addressed above, please contact the Child Nutrition Office at (919) 774-6226 ext. 7205.
The Community Eligibility Provision (CEP) is a meal service option for schools and school districts in low-income areas. A key provision of the Healthy, Hunger Free Kids Act (HHFKA, Public Law 111-296; December 13, 2010), CEP allows the nation's highest poverty schools and districts to serve breakfast and lunch at no-cost to all enrolled students without the burden of collecting household applications. Instead, schools that adopt CEP are reimbursed using a formula based on the percentage of students participating in other specific means-tested programs, such as the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP) and Temporary Assistance for Needy Families (TANF).
