Someone from the CPSB responded in the comments with the following “Schools listed have an Identified Student population of at least 40%. That percentage comes from students certified for free meals without the use of household applications. Students not attending a CEP school can still qualify for free/reduced meals using our meal applications (paper or online). Link to follow soon!”
The Community Eligibility Provision is a Federal program administered by the USDA. More information about CEP can be found by following this link.
