Community Eligibility Provision (CEP) Program Schools

We are pleased to inform you that Duval County Public Schools will continue to participate in an option available to schools participating in the National School Lunch and School Breakfast Program called the Community Eligibility Provision (CEP) program for the 2020-2021 school year. Schools that participate in the CEP program are able to provide healthy breakfasts and lunches each day at no charge to ALL students enrolled in a CEP school during the 2020-2021 school year. If your children attend one of the following schools, they will be included in this program:

A Free and Reduced-Price Meal application is not required if all of your school-aged children attend a CEP program school listed above. If you have a child that attends one of the schools above, but another that attends a school not listed or all of your children attend a school not listed, you will need to complete a Free and Reduced-Price Meal application for any children not attending a CEP school to be eligible to qualify for free or reduced-price meal benefits. An application can be completed online at https://free-reduced-lunch.duvalschools.org. A paper application can be found at your child's school, online at duvalschools.org/foodservice, or contact the Foodservice Department at 904-732-5145. Please do not hesitate to contact our office if we can assist you further.
