No-Cost Meals Announced for All IDEA Public Schools Students
· Texas Border Business

IDEA Public Schools will implement the Community Eligibility Provision (CEP) for the 2026-27 school year, providing free breakfast and lunch to all students in the Rio Grande Valley. This initiative eliminates the need for families to submit meal applications for free or reduced-price meals. Fernando Aguilar, Senior VP of the Child Nutrition Program, emphasized that access to nutritious meals supports student success. The program includes 26 qualifying campuses, including schools in McAllen, Brownsville, and Edinburg. Families do not need to take any action for their children to receive these meals.
