All RSU #74 schools are participating in the Community Eligibility ProRSU #74 MEDIA RELEASE 2024/2025 SCHOOL YEAR
RSU #74 schools participate in the Community Eligible Provision. This alternative is referred to as CEP. All students enrolled in any RSU #74 school may participate in the School Breakfast Program and the National School Lunch Program at no charge due to this program and the legislation passed in Maine that began with the 2022–2023 school year, School Meals for All.
Studies show that children who are not hungry perform better in school. By providing both breakfast and lunch at no cost to students, we are helping to create a better learning environment.
Household Free & Reduced applications may not be required to receive free meals this year but forms similar to applications will be distributed by the school to collect household income data for other programs that require this information, such as Federal Title programs. The application requesting economic information supports many programs at our schools which helps reduce the local taxes as well as determine eligible families for the S-EBT program, reduced college fees and internet fees and many other programs for the District. Please complete and return the form. Only one per family is needed.
The school meals that we serve follow U.S. Department of Agriculture guidelines for healthy school meals. The School Breakfast and Lunch Programs cannot succeed without your support; please encourage your children to participate in the school meals programs.
For additional information please contact Tammy Conners at 635-2727 x5.
