The positive experience of states and school districts that have implemented community eligibility demonstrates that while they can no longer use
school meal application data to allocate funds, states and localities should not be dissuaded from adopting community eligibility.
Not exact matches
CEO allows
schools to serve free breakfast and free lunch to all students when 40 percent or more of students are certified for free
meals without a paper
application, which includes students who are directly certified (through
data matching) for free
meals because they live in households that participate in the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP), Temporary Assistance for Needy Families (TANF), or the Food Distribution Program on Indian Reservations (FDPIR), as well as children who are automatically eligible for free
school meals because of their status in foster care or Head Start, homeless, or migrant.
Because
school districts using CEP no longer collect
meal applications at all
schools, states have developed alternative
data sources for assessing the poverty level of
schools.
The CEP was one of the less publicized gains of the Healthy, Hunger - Free Kids Act (HHFKA), allowing
schools to provide universal
meals to an entire
school based on «direct certification»
data, such as how many children live in households receiving food stamps (SNAP benefits), without also requiring annual paper
applications submitted by parents.
Huge
data sets were shared with IDEO staff for their project, but even members of the SF Board of Education have no access to files showing how many students at each
school have not yet returned a
meal application, or how many ate
school lunch in October, or how much cafeteria debt each
school is accumulating.
[6] Community eligibility
schools, however, may not collect
school meal applications or use funds from the
school nutrition account to collect individual income
data.
For allocating state or local funds to districts or
schools, alternative
data can be used in lieu of the income
data collected on
school meal applications.
When
school districts implement community eligibility, however, they no longer have the individual income
data from those
meal applications for the students attending community eligibility
schools —
data that programs outside of the
school meal programs often use.
It is critical that states and
school districts identify alternatives to
data from
meal applications so that high - poverty
schools that adopt community eligibility to feed more students are not disadvantaged in any other context.
Likewise, it is critical that a desire for
data traditionally gathered from
meal applications does not stand in the way of districts and
schools implementing community eligibility, which can help support educational achievement, reduce hunger, and improve children's nutrition and health.
California's existing direct certification process uses other entitlement program
data, such as CalFresh, to identify low - income students and certify them for free
school meals — no separate paper
application for
meals is required.
Through CEP, eligible
schools can provide
meal service to all students at no charge, regardless of economic status and without the need to collect eligibility
data through household
applications.
