Transcript Community Eligibility Provision

CEP – Nutrition
Services
Overview – Nutrition Services
• Option provides an alternative to household applications for free
and reduced price meals in high poverty local educational agencies
(LEAs) and schools.
• LEA or schools electing the Provision agree to serve all students free
lunches and breakfasts for four successive school years.
• Count total breakfasts and total lunches served to students daily
• Meal program claims are based on the percentage of identified
students multiplied by a factor of 1.6.
• Available Nationwide starting SY 2014/15
Who are the Identified
Students?
• Identified students are defined as the students certified for free
meals not through the submission of individual applications.
•
•
•
•
SNAP, TANF, and FDPIR participation
homeless on the liaison list,
Head Start,
pre-K Even Start, migrant youth, runaways, and non-applicants
approved by local officials.
• Foster children certified through means other than an application
are also included.
• Students who are categorically eligible based on the submission of
a free and reduced price application are not included
CEP Claiming Example
Example:
Identified student % = 50%
Free claiming percentage = 80% (50% X 1.6)
Paid claiming percentage = 20% (100% - 80%)
Total meals = 1,000
Number of free meals = 800 (1,000 X 80%)
Number of paid meals = 200 (1,000 – 800)

Issues surrounding CEP!!!!
• How will state level funding be determined?
• Will the 1.6 multiplier remain constant?
• Will my district lose money?
• What happens if my ISP increases in the second year after I
enroll in CEP?
• How will students in CEP schools who do not want free meals
be handled?
CEP AND TITLE I
Poverty Data
• Historically, Free and Reduced Lunch counts have been used
by education programs to determine poverty percentages and
figures for funding and reporting.
• With the new CEP program, traditional Free and Reduced
Lunch data on students will not be available at CEP schools.
• Poverty data is needed at the student level for Federal and
State reporting and accountability purposes and for state
finance calculations.
Title I District Allocations
• Title I, Part A allocations to school districts are based on
largely on census poverty data, not on Free and Reduced
Lunch counts.
• There may be some special school districts that might be
affected.
School Rankings
• The poverty percentage is necessary for the ranking of schools
within a district.
• Districts have used the March Free and Reduced Lunch count
numbers (minus PreK) and the 135 ADM to determine the
poverty percent for each school to use to rank schools and
provide allocations.
• Spring 2014 Free and Reduced lunch data was available for all
LEAs to rank schools for 2014-15 school year.
LEA’s with no CEP schools
• If an LEA and its schools are not eligible to qualify for CEP or
chose not to participate in CEP, then the LEA may rank its
schools for Title I via the traditional method of F/R lunch
counts (March F/R Lunch count and 135 ADM)
or
• by using the direct certification percentage for each school
(number of “identified students” and the April 1 enrollment).

LEA’s with all CEP schools
• If an LEA has all schools as CEP schools, then the ranking could
be done on the April 1st direct certification percentage
or
• by the direct certification percentage times the 1.6 multiplier
(which approximates F/R lunch counts).

LEAs with CEP schools
and non-CEP schools
• If an LEA has both CEP schools and non-CEP schools, then it could
rank the schools using the direct certification percentage for each
school
or
• by using the F/R lunch count at non-CEP schools and the direct
certification percentage times the 1.6 multiplier to get the
approximate F/R lunch percent.
or
• by using the F/R lunch count at non-CEP schools and an alternate
income survey form similar to the F/R lunch form at CEP schools
(some districts have discussed this option).

Allocations
• The general rules of per pupil allocations apply (no higher poverty
school receives a lower PPA than lower poverty schools). The
number of students used as the basis of the per pupil allocation
must be consistent within the LEA.
• The method must be consistently applied across district schools.
Allocations
• If there are no CEP schools, use the F/R lunch count numbers.
• If all schools are CEP use the direct certification number
(identified students) or the multiplier number.
• If some schools are CEP schools and some are F/R lunch
schools, use the direct certification number for all schools
or
• the multiplier number and the F/R lunch count number.
Accountability
• Title I must assess and report annually on the progress of
economically disadvantaged students toward meeting the
State’s academic goals (subsidized meals subgroup on State
Report Cards).
• F/R Lunch data or CEP data may be the best source of data for
accountability.
Accountability
• For 2014-15 (spring 2015 testing) CEP schools will code all
students as Free in PowerSchool.
• Beyond 2014-15, the State will probably need to identify one
measure common to all regarding poverty reporting
• CEP identified students data may be the new F/R Lunch count.
CEP & State Funding
What will we use in 2014-15?
• Current definition of poverty –
Free/reduced and/or Medicaid will be
used for all state funding in FY 15 using FY
14 data.
• Report card data will reflect this
information and 45-day will be updated
with most current data
What will we use going
forward?
•Options
•Census?
•Direct Cert Data?
