Eliminate the provision that lets whole schools serve free meals
What the document says“Work with lawmakers to eliminate CEP.”
The Community Eligibility Provision lets schools in high-poverty areas serve free meals to all pupils without individual applications. The chapter says school meal programs should serve children in need rather than become an entitlement for students from middle and upper income homes. It separately asks for a rule clarifying that only a whole school or whole district, not a subset of schools, can qualify.
What the document actually says“Work with lawmakers to eliminate CEP.”
Work with Congress to end this rule.
One rule lets some schools feed every child free. It is used where many families are poor. The book says meals should go only to children in need.
