Community Eligibility Provision (CEP)
Mason County Schools Provide Meals To Students At No Cost
Mason County Schools is pleased to announce that the county will participate in the Community Eligibility Provision (CEP) during the 2024-2025 school year providing meals at NO CHARGE for all students enrolled in all schools that participate in the National School Lunch Program or School Breakfast Program. CEP is made possible through the United States Department of Agriculture (USDA) Special Assistance Certification and Reimbursement Community Eligibility Provision.
All adults, e.g. visitors, teachers, support staff members and administrators of the district must assume full cost of the meal:
Breakfast $ 3.00
Lunch $ 3.75
Extra Milk $0.25
Due to nation wide supply chain issues, there will be times when we will need to alter menus with short notice. Schools will make menu substitutions based on the products they have available or are able to receive.

May Menus
*CACFP menu is determined at individual school. Please see Menu posted in your cafe: Hannan, Wahama, PPJrSr

SUMMER EBT
Summer EBT is a one-time benefit allowance of $120 for income-eligible children.
Income-eligible families who have children who attend schools that participate in the National School Lunch Program (NSLP) and who meet income criteria will qualify.
If your child has an approved free/reduced lunch application on file, he/she will automatically receive the benefit with no action. If your child attends a CEP school who does not collect free/reduced lunch applications and you believe that your family meets income criteria, please visit www.wvsebt.org to view income guidelines and/or apply for the benefit.
Other children (ages 6-17) in the household that are not enrolled in an NSLP school will only receive the SEBT benefit if the family participates in another public benefit program through the WV DoHS. If you do not receive public benefits, federal law prohibits collecting income-only applications from children who do not attend National School Lunch Programs.
If your child is eligible, he/she will receive a white envelope from a South Dakota address that has your case file that you will need to activate your child’s benefit card. Please keep this letter in a safe place! Your letter and card will arrive via US Mail in June. For more information, please visit our website at SEBT LINK
