Mohonasen will continue to offer free breakfast and lunch to all students for the 2025–26 school year. While federal regulations regarding the Community Eligibility Provision (CEP) are evolving, Mohonasen remains in the second year of its current four-year eligibility cycle. Regardless of future changes at the federal level, New York State’s designation as a Universal Free Meal state ensures that all students will continue to receive free meals throughout the school year.
To assist the district in retaining the free program for your children(s), families are encouraged to complete the Community Eligibility Provision (CEP) Household Income Eligibility Form.
The form is also used to determine eligibility for additional state and federal program benefits that your children(s) may qualify for such as, free or low-cost college in the high school courses, reduced PSAT/SAT testing costs and college application fees. Per the federal government, applications must be submitted yearly to continue receiving these benefits.
