Starting in the 2024-25 school year, the Troup County School System will be able to feed ALL students for free through the Community Eligibility Program (CEP), a federal program. This change will benefit many more students by providing them with a balanced and nutritious meal every day in school. Students attending a CEP school can enjoy a free breakfast and lunch. A complete meal must have at least three components, one of which is a fruit or vegetable. At lunch, students can choose up to five meal components.
Students can also buy extra items separately, such as drinks, snacks or additional entrees and side items. There are some guidelines. Any outstanding balance for previously charged meals must be cleared before students can make individual purchases, and students cannot charge extra items.
