[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Go into the school and talk to the person in charge in the school cafeteria.  Obviously avoid lunch time, but they are likely the best person to answer the wurstion and clrar up the issue quickly.  Unlikely to be near a phone while they are preparing meals.[/quote]

^This. And yet in so many schools , they don't even charge the non FARMS students for lunch because so many of their peers are FARMS. How is this fair? My son rarely if ever has school lunch and I just got the call. This happens every single year and I don't have the time to go in and discuss so I just pay it. I can't help but think they think "Oh it doesn't matter. They (we) won't miss the money anyway"[/quote]

The Community Eligibility Provision (CEP) is a non-pricing meal service option for schools and school districts in low-income areas. 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).[/quote]
