No Cost Meals for Students – Here's What You Need to Know

Great news for you and your students! Salem-Keizer Public Schools is participating in the federally offered Community Eligibility Provision (CEP).

About the Community Eligibility Provision

This program provides all students attending a public school in the district with one healthy breakfast and one lunch each school day at no charge to your household.

The district will be part of this program for the 2024-2025, 2025-2026, and 2026-2027 school years – throughout this time you will not be required to complete free/reduced-price meal paperwork for your students.

Schools Not Eligible to Participate 

Online, virtual and some private and public charter schools within the Salem-Keizer School District 24J are not able to participate in the CEP and will continue to be responsible for funding their students’ meals.

This includes EDGE Online, Eagle Charter School, Howard Street Charter School, and Jane Goodall Environmental Middle School. If you have any questions regarding meals at these schools, please contact the school.

Contact Us for Support
