The West Rusk CCISD announced today it will operate the Community Eligibility
Program (CEP) under the National School Lunch Program and School Breakfast
Program for the 2026-2027 school year. Schools qualifying to operate CEP serve
breakfast and lunch to all children at no charge and eliminate the collection of meal
applications for free, reduced price, and paid student meals. This approach reduces
burdens for both families and school administrators and helps ensure that
students receive nutritious meals.
