Community Eligibility Provision (CEP)

Providing Free meals to students in the areas that need it most!

The Community Eligibility Provision (CEP) provides an alternative approach for offering free school meals to school districts and individual schools in low-income areas instead of collecting individual applications for free and reduced price meals. CEP allows schools that predominantly serve low-income children to offer free, nutritious school meals to all students through the National School Lunch and School Breakfast Programs.  For the current school  year, Davidson County Schools has 16 schools that will operate under the Community Eligibility Provision.  Please see below for a list of participating schools.  Select the link to learn more about the Community Eligibility Provision.
