Title: Community Eligibility Provision: Increasing Options for Schools  
Abstract:

This final rule would lower the minimum participation threshold for Community Eligibility Provision (CEP) elections. Currently, to elect CEP, a local educational agency (LEA), group of schools, or individual school must meet a minimum identified student percentage threshold of 40 percent. This rule would lower the minimum participation threshold, which would provide an additional option for LEAs and schools to receive special assistance payments as Federal reimbursement for meals served to students, in lieu of taking applications.
