POCAHONTAS COUNTY SCHOOLS BREAKFAST AND LUNCH PROGRAM INFORMATION

All Pocahontas County schools participate in the National School Lunch Program: Community Eligibility Provision, a federal program providing no-cost breakfast and lunch to ALL students. Below is an excerpt from the program's website:

"The Community Eligibility Provision (CEP) is a non-pricing meal service option for schools and school districts in low-income areas. CEP allows the nation’s highest poverty schools and districts to serve breakfast and lunch at no cost to all enrolled students without collecting household applications. Instead, schools that adopt CEP are reimbursed using a formula based on the percentage of students categorically eligible for free meals based on their participation in other specific means-tested programs, such as the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP) and Temporary Assistance for Needy Families (TANF)."
