For the 2024-2025 school year, Carroll County Schools will be offering no cost breakfast and lunch to all students regardless of income through the Community Eligibility Program.
The CEP allows schools with high percentages of low-income students to offer no cost breakfast and lunch to all students without collecting household applications.
The Community Eligibility Provision positively impacts families by providing financial relief, reducing stigma, simplifying administrative processes, supporting children’s academic and nutritional needs, and encouraging regular school attendance. CEP helps to create a more stable and nurturing environment for children and their families.
