Geez, Silvestre in the meeting asking for clarification on an acronym with which she should have been very familiar as a multi-year BOE member: CEP -Community Eligibility Provision, the non-pricing school meal service allocation mechanism for low-income area schools.[/quote]

Not that I think the BOE members did (or nearly ever do) a good job questioning MCPS to draw out important data/considerations/aims/etc. to help make decisions, but expecting familiarity with acronyms in this acronym-centric region would probably be more reasonable if we had a full-time BOE who were paid a reasonably professional salary to do so.[/quote]

I believe that the BOE was likely informed on the changes to free meals, including CEP. Posted elsewhere:

MCPS sent out a back-to-school email in August that included this:

Your Student’s Meals at School

Fifty-eight MCPS schools will operate under the Community Eligibility Provision (CEP) starting this school year. Students enrolled at these CEP schools may receive breakfast and lunch at no cost regardless of household income. A list of the participating schools can be found here.

We encourage all families with students enrolled at non-CEP schools to complete a Free and Reduced-price Meals Application. All meals are free for students who qualify for the program.[/quote]
