Escondido Union School District
School Year 2025-2026
Escondido Union School District will continue to operate in the Community Eligibility Provision (CEP) program under the National School Lunch Program, School Breakfast Program, and/or Afterschool Snack Program for the 2025 2026 School Year at all school sites. Effective July 1, 2025 through June 30, 2026, all students attending school on campus at an Escondido Union School District Elementary or Middle School are eligible to receive a nutritious breakfast and lunch at no charge. Schools operating under CEP schools do not collect meal benefit applications to determine categorical eligibility of or free, reduced-price, or paid. This approach reduces the burden for both families and school administrators, and helps ensure that students receive nutritious meals.
For more information regarding the CEP program contact Juanita Beltran at jbeltran@eusd.org or 760.432.2332 ext.10602, or:
