Reminder: All Students At 45 Escambia Schools Will Receive Free Lunch, Breakfast
August 12, 2019
Breakfast and lunch will be free for all students, regardless of income, during this school year at 45 schools in Escambia County.
The Community Eligibility Provision (CEP) program means that parents of the students at these schools are not required to submit an application for the Free and Reduced Meal program at that school. However, siblings attending schools not on the CEP list will need to apply for eligibility.
The free meal schools are selected upon income levels.

CEP allows the nation’s highest poverty schools and districts to serve breakfast and lunch at no cost to all enrolled students without collecting household applications. Instead, schools that adopt CEP are reimbursed using a formula based on the percentage of students categorically eligible for free meals based on their participation in other specific means-tested programs, such as the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP) and Temporary Assistance for Needy Families (TANF).

I love the idea of free lunches for the children BUT I think it should include ALL ESCAMBIA CO SCHOOLS! Are the schools that were exclude thought to only have rich kids??? Not so!!!
This is good so the less fortunate will not stand out in the crowd.
Let them eat cake!
You people are complaining about children you know? Oh my tax dollars this and my tax dollars that!! Your taxes won’t be reduced if they stop providing these lunches for kids. I repeat..FOR KIDS!! So let’s let these babies starve because Mom and Dad can’t afford it that’ll teach them won’t it? “The sins of the father” ignorance isn’t contagious thank God. I’d gladly pull money out my pocket any day to feed a child, Jesus loves you guys
Are home schooled kids allowed to come eat for free?
If not, why not ?
Sharon,
i agree with you to a certain extent and believe me, i pay my fair share of taxes every year BUT for someone to sit here and say that if a kid who has no control over their “parents” actions should only eat if they pay, is sickening to me. Out of everything my hard earned tax money goes towards, this is one thing i would pay extra for.
I am tired of paying for folks to get free stuff. NOTHING is free and it is high time people realize SOMEONE is paying for this. Stop it!!! Reduce our taxes and let the people who eat, PAY.
I dont care if a child or family are poor or not…every child needs not to ever be hungary in the United States
Need not people whining about it as it is selfish to even let the words of complaint come out of their mouth
This is just wrong. I pay taxes also. If they can’t all
receive free food then no one gets it.
WOW I cant believe Ransom Middle did not make it for free breakfast or lunches nor Tate. Most high students don’t take the time to eat.
So out of the 51 schools in our district, 6 are not eligible. Wow that’s amazing that these schools don’t have enough poor people in them to be eligible. That really doesn’t make sense to me.
Nothing is free… SHould be called Tax Payer Funded Feeding program.
