Fulton City School District Announces Free Meals for All Students under CEP Program.

Dear Fulton City School District Families,
We are pleased to inform you that the Fulton City School District will be participating in the Community Eligibility Provision (CEP) for the 2026-2027 school year. This program allows all children at all school sites to receive a healthy breakfast and lunch at no charge each day. No further action is required of you, and your child(ren) will be able to participate in these meal programs without having to pay a fee or submit an individual application.
In accordance with federal regulations, State agencies are mandated to ensure transparency regarding CEP by making specific eligibility data readily accessible to the public annually. This public notification serves to fulfill those regulatory requirements while ensuring our community is aware of the nutritional support available to all students.
District officials, including the Director of School Nutrition, maintain local records of these public announcements and media notifications as part of our commitment to program integrity and administrative review.
If you have any questions, please contact the Office of Child Nutrition. 315-593-5515 or [email protected]
