Annual Free & Reduced Meal Application<\/h2>\n
\n
Beginning in the 2026-27 school year, 黑料不打烊 will transition from a districtwide Community Eligibility Program (CEP) back to a partial CEP. As a reminder, the CEP allows eligible schools to serve healthy breakfast and lunch meals to students at no charge each day. During the 2022-23 school year, 黑料不打烊 expanded CEP districtwide. Due to current financial strains on Fund 50, 黑料不打烊 will return to a partial CEP beginning in 2026-27.\u00a0Mahone is returning to a traditional model of Free\/Reduced\/Paid, and families need to complete an application to qualify.<\/u><\/strong><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n\n\n\n
