Community Eligibility Provision
RCW 28A.235.300 requires districts to participate in the federal Community Eligibility Provision (CEP) in all eligible schools and to group schools to the maximum extent possible. The program allows schools to provide meals at no cost to all students in the school, regardless of their income status. Since the 2023 legislative session, state costs have increased due to changes at the federal level and the addition of new CEP schools for which the Office of the Superintendent of Public Instruction is responsible for funding.
