  • Letter to Households, Community Eligibility Provision (CEP) 2021-2022
    Letter to Households, Community Eligibility Provision (CEP) 2021-2022 July 1, 2021 Dear IDEA Parent/Guardian: We are pleased to inform you that the Child Nutrition Program at IDEA Public Schools will be implementing the Community Eligibility Provision (CEP) under the National School Lunch and School Breakfast Programs for the 2021-2022 school year. In CEP schools, applications are no longer required. Through the CEP, parents/guardians, who have students at qualifying CEP schools, will not be required to submit a meal application for free, reduced, and full priced meals for the upcoming school year. However, the Student Information System of IDEA Public Schools will obtain income surveys as per state compliance to obtain social economic data for some students not currently directly certified through CEP. Income surveys are only to obtain data and will not affect students from CEP schools to qualify for free breakfast and lunch. Schools that participate in CEP provide healthy breakfasts and lunches each day at no charge for ALL students enrolled in that CEP school during the 2021-2022 school year. The IDEA school sites that qualify for the CEP for the 2021-2022 school year include: Rio Grande Valley San Antonio Austin El Paso Tarrant Houston County IDEA Donna IDEA Carver IDEA Montopolis IDEA Rio Vista IDEA Rise IDEA Hardy IDEA Edinburg IDEA Eastside IDEA Bluff Springs IDEA Edgemere IDEA Achieve IDEA Spears IDEA McAllen IDEA Judson IDEA Rundberg IDEA Mesa Hills IDEA Edgecliff IDEA Mission IDEA Mays IDEA Kyle IDEA Horizon Vista IDEA North
