CEP Program 2023-2024
We are happy to announce that all Polk County Schools will be participating in the Community Eligibility Provision (CEP) again for the 2023-24 school year.
This allows us to offer a free nutritious breakfast and lunch to all students through the National School Lunch and Breakfast Program. We encourage all our students to take advantage of this program.
