As we prepare for the start of the 2026-2027 school year, the District strongly encourages every family to complete the Community Eligibility Provision (CEP) Economic Survey.

In previous years, families completed the Free & Reduced-Price Meal Application so students could receive free or reduced-price meals. Because New York State's Universal Free Meals program now provides free breakfast and lunch to all students, families are no longer required to complete this application for meal eligibility. We are so happy to be able to provide free, nutritious meals to each of our students to give them the fuel they need to learn.

However, meal applications have historically provided the economic data our District relies on to qualify for substantial state and federal grant funding. These funds directly support educational programs and academic support services, classroom technology and instructional resources, and vital student and school-wide services. Without this data, our District risks losing critical funding that benefits every single student.

Luckily, we can continue to collect this important economic data through the CEP Economic Survey. Every completed survey helps ensure the District has the most accurate data possible when applying for and receiving state and federal funding.
