Description

SNA and FRAC have partnered to bring you a webinar focused on the Community Eligibility Provision (CEP) and how to make it work at lower ISPs. Schools across the country are successfully implementing community eligibility at a whole range of identified student percentages (ISP). Some school districts are missing out on the benefits—such as increased participation and decreased administrative burdens—because they believe their ISP is too low. Electing community eligibility at lower ISPs requires careful consideration, but there are now thousands of schools across the country—and this number continues to grow each year—that have demonstrated the viability of community eligibility for schools with lower ISPs. Join this session to learn budget forecasting strategies to implement and the available resources that can help school districts determine the financial viability of offering free meals to all students. Best practices will be shared on selling it to administrators, maintaining and increasing ISPs, and increasing participation in school meals.

Successful completion of the webinar and quiz is awarded 1 SNA CEU, or 1 CPEU for RDNs/NDTRs.
