Beginning in fiscal year 2025, the District has implemented the Community Eligibility Provision (CEP) at all three of its school buildings. The CEP program is in place for four years and it will not be necessary for the District to verify income for free and reduced school lunches during that time period. If in the future the District no longer participates in CEP, control procedures will be implemented to ensure that all students selected for income verification are being correctly categorized and reported to ODEW. This will include the Cafeteria Manager reviewing the free and reduced lunch applications and forwarding any without necessary documentation to the Superintendent and Treasurer for additional verification for eligibility.
