2017 Free & Reduced Eligibility Report Page 1 of 27

Introduction

Free and reduced price meal eligibility data is reported by each school food authority or Supervisory Union annually. A school food

authority is a school or school district that is responsible for operating a School Lunch Program and/or a School Breakfast Program.

Some schools are included in a school food authority even though they are separate school districts. The eligibility numbers and

enrollment figures are from October of the current school year, as reported by the SFA for the 31st of October. For the purposes of the

National School Lunch Program, “eligible” means that a student has submitted an application and been certified as qualifying for free or

reduced price benefits based on the Family Size and Income Guidelines published by the United States Department of Agriculture. To

be eligible for free meals a family’s income must be at or below 130% of the Federal poverty level, the family/household receives

3SquaresVT or Reach-Up, or children are Directly Certified as free eligible. Families whose income falls between 130% and 185% of the

federal poverty level qualify for reduced price meals. Eligibility determinations are made at the local level by the food service director,

principal, or other person designated by the school administration.

The report for 2016-2017 uses the Child Nutrition Programs on-line reporting system Site Enrollment Report. The system has calculated

the information for all schools in the system participating in the school lunch program. For schools participating in the Community

Eligibility Provision their numbers of eligible students are determined by their CEP claiming percentages (percent of meals claimed at

the free rate) as instructed by USDA. There are a few public schools in Vermont that do not participate in any Child Nutrition Program

and therefore are not mentioned in this report at all. Data points indicated as "++" have had data suppressed per AOE reporting

guidelines.

How the Report is organized:

The report is organized alphabetically by Supervisory Union/SFA. The schools participating within the Supervisory Union are

listed by School name.

Column Headings

1. Supervisory Union

2. School

3. Number of students approved for free and reduced price meals

4. Enrollment in the school lunch program as of October. Note: This may be different from school enrollment because students

may be included in the lunch program even though they are not enrolled in the school.

5. Percent of students enrolled in the lunch program who are eligible for free and reduced price school meals

Statewide Average: The statewide total enrollment of students in school lunch programs is 86,311. The total number of students eligible

for free and reduced price meals is 38,034. Therefore, the statewide average eligibility is 44.07%.


Community Eligibility Provision Schools

The Community Eligibility Provision (CEP) allows schools to serve meals at no charge to students; schools receive the free and paid

reimbursement for meals served. Schools eligible to participate in CEP must have at least 40% of their enrolled students directly

certified. To account for the additional students who would be eligible for free or reduced price meals, the Identified Student Percentage

(percent of enrolled students directly certified) is calculated using the USDA multiplier of 1.6. The result is the percentage of meals to be

claimed at the free rate. In CEP USDA has instructed that to determine the number of students eligible, the “free” percentage is applied

to the current enrollment. The percentages listed for the CEP schools may have been determined by a single school or a group of

schools. The following is a list of schools that are participating in the Community Eligibility Provision. For more information, please
