Great news for the coming school year! Marion County Schools will participate in the Community Eligibility Program (CEP). The CEP program is a pilot program for the 25-26 school year that allows all students to eat breakfast and lunch at no cost. CEP is based on the overall economic status of our regional area. NO free or reduced applications will be needed from parents this school year. Parents require no action for students to eat for free. Please note that the first complete meal is free; however, extra plates or a la carte items must be purchased. All visiting children, adults, and employees will be required to pay for meals. Paypams is still available for anyone who wishes to add money to his or her child(ren)’s account. Paypams can be found at www.paypams.com. This institution is an equal opportunity provider.
