Atlanta Public Schools is participating in the federal Community Eligibility Provision (CEP), eliminating the need for families to complete and submit meal applications and reducing administrative and printing costs for the district.
Recognizing that children need healthy meals to learn, APS offers healthy meals every school day at no charge to students with support from the U.S. Department of Agriculture through the National School Lunch and School Breakfast Programs.
