FEE WAIVER POLICY:
With the implementation of the Community Eligibility Provision (CEP) for school year 2024-2025 fee waivers for athletics, busing, music, etc. will be based on Direct Certification only.
CEP is a USDA program that allows school districts to serve all students in eligible schools a free breakfast or lunch.
Direct Certification is the process under which School Districts certify children who are members of households receiving assistance from SNAP, TANF/TAFDC or FDPIR, as eligible for free meals without further application. Direct certification is based on information provided by the state agencies administering the SNAP, TANF/TAFDC and FDPIR programs.
All families who are Direct Certification have been sent a letter and a Community Eligibility Provision Sharing Form from the East Bridgewater Public Schools Food Service Department.
In order to determine if a family is Direct Certification and qualifies for a fee waiver families must fill out and return the Community Eligibility Provision Sharing Form. The Food Service Department cannot share your Direct Certification status with any other department without this form.
Sharing forms should be returned to: Andrea Schotte, E. Bridgewater Jr. Sr. High School, 143 Plymouth Street, E. Bridgewater, MA 02333. Attn: Food Service Department. Any questions regarding Direct Certification status should be directed to Deborah Vaughn, Food Service Director ([email protected]) or Andrea Schotte ([email protected]) by email or at 508-378-5822.
Transportation questions should be directed to Kathy Conway at [email protected] or 508-378-5958.
