Federal Student Meal Program Expansion
Legislation & Policy
Cabinet Report — August 25, 2014
The CEP program streamlines the paperwork and reporting process for parents, schools and districts, and virtually eliminates backups in school lunch lines because no money has to be collected. Families do not need to turn in free and reduced-price meal applications, and schools do not need to process applications or conduct verification. More information from the USDA’s Food and Nutrition Service.
