Laurel School District is excited to announce great news for families as the district has been approved for an additional four-year cycle under the Community Eligibility Provision (CEP).
Beginning with the 2026–2027 school year, all enrolled Laurel School District students will continue to receive both breakfast and lunch at no cost to families.
The Community Eligibility Provision allows eligible school districts to provide nutritious meals to every enrolled student, ensuring children have access to healthy meals that support learning, growth, and academic success.
This renewal allows us to continue removing barriers for families while ensuring every student has access to healthy, nutritious meals each school day.
- Providing free meals to all enrolled students helps:
- Support student health and well-being.
- Improve classroom focus and academic performance.
- Reduce financial burdens on families.
- Ensure every child has the nutrition they need to succeed.
Laurel School District remains committed to creating an environment where every student can thrive, and the Child Nutrition Department is proud to continue serving healthy, delicious meals each school day.
This institution is an equal opportunity provider.
