Community Eligibility Provision (CEP)

The Community Eligibility Provision (CEP) is a meal service option that allows schools and school districts to serve breakfast and lunch at no cost to all enrolled students without the burden of certifying students for meal benefits. Schools that adopt the CEP are reimbursed using a formula based on the percentage of students who are normally certified for free school meals, without an application.

All students enrolled in the Beaverton School District are able to get one free breakfast and one free lunch at their school each day.

Just like the free and reduced meal program, students can get one free breakfast and one free lunch per day. Most schools also have a sharing table which students are encouraged to utilize if they are still hungry but don’t need a full second meal.

Second meals, extra milks, and a la carte items, such as second entrees, for an individual student will be charged to their meal account so long as they have a positive balance.

Students can get one free breakfast and one free lunch per day. Individual meal components like a milk, an entrée, or piece of fruit are not considered a (complete) meal on their own. Students who wish to have only part of a meal will be charged for that item to their meal account.

Students must have a positive balance to purchase individual or a la carte items. 

Yes, enrolled students are always welcome to get a complete breakfast or lunch at school regardless of what they brought from home. 

Any negative account balances accrued prior to August 26, 2024 must still be paid in full. 

After August 26, 2024, students can get one free breakfast and one free lunch per day, at no charge.

You do not have to do anything, unless you want to. All money on a student’s SchoolCafe account may be refunded if you do not wish to use it for a la carte purchases. It can also be directed to a sibling account or donated to pay off other student's negative balances.
