The Final Rule, Child Nutrition Programs - Community Eligibility Provision—Increasing Options for Schools, will lower the Identified Student Percentage (ISP) threshold to participate in CEP from 40% to 25%. This option will go into effect for SY 2024-2025, based on ISP data from April 1, 2024. Note the following:
- The new threshold for implementing a fifth CEP “grace year” is 15%.
- There is no proposed change to the 1.6 multiplier, so school districts should consider the financial impact of implementing CEP at a lower threshold.
