Public Release/Community Eligibility Provision

Community Eligibility Provision (CEP)

Joseph Badger Schools will participate in the Community Eligibility Provision (CEP) during the 2025-26 school year under the National School Lunch Program (NSLP). Under this option, all children in the school receive a breakfast/lunch at no charge regardless of household income.

Under CEP, it is no longer necessary to fill out a Free and Reduced meal application; however, to determine eligibility for various additional state and federal program benefits that your child’s school may qualify for, please complete, sign and return the Ohio Household Income Form to your school building.

Applications may be returned in person with your student, via mail, or emailed to christina.stanhope@badgerbraves.org

FREE HEALTH CARE: Families with children eligible for school meals may be eligible for FREE health care coverage through Medicaid and/or Ohio’s Healthy Start & Healthy Families programs. These programs include coverage for doctor visits, immunizations, physicals, prescriptions, dental, vision, mental health, substance abuse and more. Please call 1-800-324-8680 for more information or to request an application. Information can also be found at http://jfs.ohio.gov/ohp/consumers/familychild.stm. Anyone who has an Ohio Medicaid card is already receiving these services.
