There’s such a thing as a free lunch at AISD
Wednesday, August 14, 2024 by Elizabeth Pagano
AISD will be providing free breakfast and lunch for all students at 77 of its 116 schools this school year. Funding for the meals comes though the federally funded Community Eligibility Provision program, which serves students enrolled in low-income areas free of an application process or documentation. Students that attend schools not served by the CEP program can still get free or reduced-cost meals, but they will have to go through an application process that can be found here, or be directly certified through other programs. According to a press release from AISD, the schools participating in the CEP program are:
