Dear Parent or Guardian:
We are pleased to let you know that all schools in Tazewell County Public Schools will be
implementing the Community Eligibility Provision (CEP) for school year 2026-2027. CEP allows
eligible schools participating in the USDA National School Lunch Program and School Breakfast
Program to provide meals at no cost to all students without meal applications.
What does this mean for you and your student(s)?
Great news! All students attending any school in Tazewell County Public Schools are eligible to receive a nutritious breakfast and lunch at school at no charge to your household each school day. You do not have to take any action. The student(s) in your household who attend a participating CEP school will receive a complete breakfast and lunch meal at no cost without you paying a fee or submitting a meal application.
If you have questions or need help, please contact us at 276-988-5511.
Sincerely,
Jerry L. Smith, Supervisor of Food Services
