PBA Participates in Community Eligibility Provision (CEP)
What is the Community Eligibility Provision (CEP)?
The CEP was authorized by Congress as a part of the Healthy, Hunger-Free Kids Act of 2010. The provision allows Palm Bay Academy to provide breakfast and lunch to ALL enrolled students FREE of charge. It eliminates the burden of collecting household applications to determine eligibility for school meal programs.
