AUSTIN, Texas – Austin ISD will provide free meals for students at dozens of schools this upcoming school year.<\/p>\n
The district said free breakfast and lunch will be offered at 69 schools.<\/p>\n
The backstory:<\/p>\n
The free food is possible through a federally funded Community Eligibility Provision (CEP) program.\u00a0<\/p>\n
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.<\/p>\n
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).<\/p>\n
