March 6, 2019
SNA and FRAC have partnered together to bring you a webinar focused on community eligibility. It’s that time of year for school districts interested in the Community Eligibility Provision, a federal option that allows high poverty schools to offer free breakfast and lunch to all students, to start conversations with district administrators about implementation for the 2019-2020 school year. Community eligibility reduces administrative burdens by eliminating the school meal application and increases participation because all students eat at no cost, making it a win-win for school districts and students alike.
Successful completion of the webinar and quiz is awarded 1 SNA CEU, or 1 CPEU for RDNs/NDTRs.
LEARNING OBJECTIVES
- Know the basics of how Title I funding and community eligibility interact.
- Know tips and best practices for evaluating the financial viability of community eligibility.
- Know best practices for communicating with key stakeholders in the school to gain buy-in for community eligibility implementation.
