Overview
Community Eligibility Provision (CEP) is a new option under the National School Lunch Program (NSLP), allowing schools to offer
breakfast and lunch at no charge to all students while eliminating the traditional school meal application process.
4Louisiana Believes
Overview: Who benefits from CEP?
Students. More students receiving free meals. Eliminates stigmas and facilitates happier/healthier student body.
Schools. Eliminates administrative burden of processing applications & costs associated with the process. Reduced or eliminated collection of student-level meal charges and follow up on unpaid amounts.
Families. Parents will no longer complete confusing applications. Assures children within family are receiving two nutritious meals per day.
CEP Participation and Eligibility Requirements
6Louisiana Believes
CEP Participation and Eligibility Requirements
Who is eligible? LEAs, a group of schools within an LEA, and individual schools with 40% or greater directly certified identified student percentage.
What does directly certified identified student percentage mean? The percentage of identified students approved as eligible for free meals who are not subject to verification.Identified students include: children directly certified by SNAP or TANF; homeless youth on liaison list; migrant and runaway youth; certified foster children; Head Start and pre-K Even Start participants.
Where can I find out my directly certified identified student percentage?
Every school and district can access its directly certified identified student percentage in a CEP School Site Information Form via their FTP site.

How to Calculate Free Claiming Percentage?
Step 1
• Locate identified student percentage in CEP School Site Information Form
Step 2
• Multiply identified student percentage by 1.6 to determine free claiming percentage • Note: There is a 100% maximum
• Subtract free claiming percentage from 100% of students to arrive at paid claiming percentage
Step 3
• Apply percentages to total number of meals provided to determine number of meals eligible for reimbursement at the USDA free rate and number of meals eligible for reimbursement at the USDA paid rate
8Louisiana Believes
How to Calculate Free Claiming Percentage?
Step 1
• Identified Student Percentage from CEP School Site Information form = 40%
Step 2
• Free claiming percentage = 40% * 1.6 = 64%
• Paid claiming Percentage = 100% - 64% = 36%
Step 3
• If the school serves 1000 total meals, then 640 meals would be reimbursed at the USDA free rate, while 360 meals would be reimbursed at the USDA paid rate
Step 1
• Identified Student Percentage from CEP School Site Information Form = 62.5%
Step 2
• Free claiming percentage = 62.5% * 1.6 = 100%
• Paid claiming Percentage = 100% - 100% = 0%
Step 3
• If the school serves 1000 total meals, then 1000 meals would be reimbursed at the USDA free rate, while 0 meals would be reimbursed at the USDA paid rate

Reporting & Funding Implications
10Louisiana Believes
Reporting & Funding Implications
Lunch forms are currently used for a variety of processes:1. Allocations: Title I, Title II, IDEA, eRate, Perkins and MFP• If one school opts to participate, then the allocation methodology for all
parties will be adjusted, as these are formula grants and the same formula must be used for all.
2. Accountability: Economically disadvantaged subgroup• The subgroup will no longer use FRL forms to determine eligible students so
as to treat all schools equitably. Instead, comparable data will be utilized.
3. Eligibility Determinations: LA 4 and AP Reimbursements*• The process for LA 4 eligibility determinations and AP reimbursements will
only change for those who elect to participate in CEP.

Option 1- All Schools Participating• Direct Certification Poverty• Apply Multiplier Only if Needed (Schools may fall below threshold)• Proceed to Rank Order Schools
Option 2 – Combination CEP/Non-CEP• Direct Certification – CEP and Non-CEP Schools • Apply Multiplier Only if Needed (Schools may fall below threshold)• Proceed to Rank Order Schools
Option 3 – Combination CEP/Non-CEP• Direct Certification – CEP Schools• F/R Lunch or Survey Non-CEP• Apply Multiplier to CEP Schools• Proceed To Rank Order

School Choice and Act 853
20Louisiana Believes
School Choice and Act 853
Act 853• Requires School Choice for “D” and “F” Schools• No preliminary "F" list will be released for 2014-15.• Finalized 2012-13 letter grades should be used to determine "F"
schools and qualifying students.• Transportation within a district is required for all students electing
to take advantage of School Choice.• Students can request schools outside of district boundaries.
