The provision allows the nation’s highest poverty districts and schools to serve all students free meals. Under the CEP option, families in qualifying schools will no longer need to complete a Free or Reduced Price Meal Application; however are required to complete a Household Income Form (HIF) to provide the school district information for other income-based funding and grants, such as our Family Resource and Youth Services Centers, Title 1, school fee waivers, discounted internet services (EBB program), college pre-exam testing discounts.
