| Abstract: |
This study investigates the implementation and impact of the community eligibility provision (CEP) in Maryland schools. The Community Eligibility Provision (CEP) is a federal school-based meal service option that allows high poverty schools to provide free breakfast and lunch to all students at no cost. CEP was introduced over the period 2015 to 2022 in Maryland, with some years seeing a large number of schools adopt CEP and other years seeing few new schools adopting the program. The largest increases in new CEP schools were in 2015-2016 when the majority of new schools were in Baltimore City and in 2020-2021 when the majority of new schools were in Baltimore County. |
