CEP Free and Reduced Lunch Application

Cincinnatus Central School District qualifies for CEP, which is a federal provision that allows some schools to provide free breakfast and lunch to all students.

CEP Benefits Students and Schools:

 • Reduces the administrative burden— schools no longer collect fees or verify school meal applications.

• Eliminates the stigma—ending the perception that school breakfast and lunch are just for “poor kids.”

• Boosts participation—allowing more kids to experience the educational and health benefits linked to eating school meals

• Eliminates unpaid school meal debt— schools no longer have to foot the bill for unpaid meal fees or try to collect them from families.
