All Students Will Receive FREE Lunch and Breakfast Beginning 2024-25 School Year
COMMUNITY ELIGIBILITY PROVISION (CEP) FOR NATIONAL SCHOOL LUNCH AND BREAKFAST PROGRAMS

Groveport Madison Schools is pleased to announce its participation in the Community Eligibility Provision (CEP) of the National School Lunch Program (NSLP) and School Breakfast Program (SBP) for the 2024-2025 school year. This program allows all students enrolled at Groveport Madison Schools to receive free breakfast and lunch regardless of household income.

Groveport Madison Schools families will not need to submit meal applications for the free meal benefits, as all enrolled students are automatically eligible. The CEP also eliminates any stigma associated with free or reduced-price meals, promoting equality and fostering a supportive atmosphere for all students.
