AUSTIN, Texas – Austin ISD will provide free meals for students at dozens of schools this upcoming school year.
The district said free breakfast and lunch will be offered at 69 schools.
The backstory:
The free food is possible through a federally funded Community Eligibility Provision (CEP) program.
CEP is a federal meal service option that allows schools in qualifying low-income areas to serve free meals to all enrolled students. No applications or documentation is required.
Not all Austin ISD schools are eligible for CEP. For those schools not eligible, students will receive meals based on their meal status (free, reduced-price, or paid).
For more information, please contact Austin ISD Food Service at 512-414-0251.
