Lafayette Parish School System Community Eligibility Provision Program 2018-2019 School Year
As an alternative to the Traditional Meal Benefit Application Program that qualifies the individual student to receive free or reduced price meals, school districts across the nation that participate in the National School Lunch and Breakfast Programs now have another Meal Benefit option to offer students. The Community Eligibility Provision (CEP) Program, introduced by USDA as a result of the Healthy Hunger Free Kids Act of 2010, provides free Breakfast and Lunch meals to students attending schools that qualify for the program. Based on certain economic data, 35 LPSS schools currently qualify for the CEP Meal Benefit since first implemented in 2014:
Acadian Middle Acadiana High LJ Alleman Middle Alice Boucher Elementary Paul Breaux Middle School Broussard Middle Charles Burke Elementary Carencro Heights Elementary Carencro Middle Carencro High Comeaux High Katharine Drexel Elementary Duson Elementary Evangeline Elementary Ernest Gallet Elementary Judice Elementary L Leo Judice Elementary JW Faulk Elementary JW James Elementary Lafayette Middle Green T Lindon Elementary Live Oak Elementary Edgar Martin Middle SJ Montgomery Elementary NP Moss Preparatory Academy Myrtle Place Elementary Northside High Ossun Elementary Plantation Elementary Prairie Elementary Ridge Elementary Scott Middle Truman Early Childhood Center Westside Elementary Woodvale Elementary
All enrolled students at these sites are eligible to receive breakfast and lunch meals at school for the entire school year at no charge and will not be asked to submit a Meal Benefit Application. Other students that attend LPSS schools not listed above may apply for a Traditional Meal Benefit available in either the electronic or paper format. The electronic application can be accessed online at www.MySchoolApps.com/Application.
Community Eligibility Provision, effective since July 1, 2014, has shown the most success and improvement in the areas of student meal participation and classroom readiness, while giving financial support to parents.
