All school sites in Volusia County School District will continue to operate the Community Eligibility Provision (CEP) under the National School Lunch Program and School Breakfast Program next year.

This program eliminates the collection of family income applications for free and reduced-price meals and ensures all students receive a nutritious breakfast and lunch each day at no charge.
