National School Lunch Program (NSLP) Pricing Schools
Students must be enrolled in a National School Lunch Program (NSLP) school (listed below) to be eligible to receive °ÄÃÅÁùºÏ²ÊÀúÊ·¼Ç¼ meal services.
This is a full listing of NSLP schools for 2024-25 School Year. The °ÄÃÅÁùºÏ²ÊÀúÊ·¼Ç¼ has a mix of °ÄÃÅÁùºÏ²ÊÀúÊ·¼Ç¼ Eligible Provision Schools (CEP) and Pricing schools. CEP schools are listed in bold.
What is the difference between a CEP and a Pricing School?
CEP schools provide meals to students at no charge without requiring a meal application. Pricing Schools either pay full price for meals or file a free and reduced-price meal application which is reviewed for eligibility to receive free or reduced-price meals.
What if I need meal assistance in 2024-25?
If ALL of your students attend CEP schools you do not need to file a free and reduced meal application. If even one of your students attends (or transfers to) a pricing school, you should file a meal application for the entire family including all °ÄÃÅÁùºÏ²ÊÀúÊ·¼Ç¼ students. Schools not listed in Bold are Pricing schools. Applications for 24-25 will be available by August 1. Applications for free and reduced-price meals are accepted all year long.
