New for school year 2012-2013, schools with a certain percentage of students directly certified for free school meals can serve universally free meals to all students. Also referred to as Provision 4, Community Eligibility Option (CEO) is a new meal claiming option for schools.
NY was selected as oneof a few in the nation to pilot this effort. Instead of collectingindividual free and reduced-price meal applications and claiming meals at theindividual student level, with CEO, certain schools can serve free meals to all studentswithout the need for applications and reimbursement on the number ofstudents directly certified for free meals.
Of the schools in other pilot statesalready using CEO (IL, KY, MI), there has been overall positive response.
Learn more about CEO on our website, with materials from the Food Research and Action Center and Center on Budget and Policy Priorities. Includes a new resource for schools all about CEO, benefits, meal revenue, and a Q&A.
