FAQs about Community Eligibility Provision (CEP)

Johnson City Schools is very pleased to inform our families that beginning immediately all enrolled students at the following elementary schools will have access to free breakfast and free lunch each school day. This will be a pilot program for the remainder of the 2024-25 school year. These schools are:

Cherokee Elementary

Fairmont Elementary

Mountain View Elementary

North Side Elementary

South Side Elementary

Towne Acres Elementary

Woodland Elementary*

Lake Ridge Elementary*

*Students in the paid pre-k program at Woodland and Lake Ridge are not eligible for this benefit as they are not officially enrolled students in the PowerSchool SIS.

 

What does this mean for you and your child(ren)? 

• All students enrolled in these eight Johnson City Schools will be eligible to receive a healthy breakfast and lunch at school at no cost to your household each school day.
• While one breakfast and one lunch meal per school day will be offered at no cost to you, students may still purchase second meals and ala carte items; however, please remember that charging for these items is not allowed. Students must have cash or funds in their meals account to purchase any ala carte items. 
• If you have students in other Johnson City Schools, the traditional methods of payment and application for free or reduced price meals apply.
