To meet this requirement, School Meal Program sponsors must notify applicants and participants that (1) the purpose for collecting race and ethnicity data is to determine how effectively School Meal Programs are reaching potentially eligible students, (2) the provision of this data is voluntary, (3) responses are kept confidential, and (4) responses have no effect on eligibility. Notifications must be posted on local School Food Authority or school websites no later than October 1, 2023, in a language and format that applicants and participants can understand.

The Community Eligibility Provision (CEP) is a program available through the National School Lunch and School Breakfast Programs that allows eligible schools to provide free meals to all students, regardless of household income. This option ensures that every student has access to nutritious meals each day, helping to support their focus, well-being, and academic success — without the need for families to submit meal applications.
