ADE Summit 2025

Ensuring that every student has access to nutritious meals at no cost is a crucial step toward academic success and overall well-being. This session will provide an overview of key programs such as Provision 2 and the Community Eligibility Provision (CEP), along with other district-funded initiatives that allow schools to offer meals at no cost to students. We will explore how federal and state funding can support school districts in implementing these programs, reducing financial burdens on families while improving student nutrition. Additionally, we will discuss the role of enhanced student achievement funding and its potential impact when electing these meal programs. Join us to gain valuable insights into the funding strategies and program options available to ensure that every student has access to healthy, no-cost meals.
