12. FP 201 – A WALK THROUGH  Page 6 – Public Schools Page  Community Eligibility Provision vs. Free and Reduced Price Meals  Community Eligibility Provision (CEP) schools use “direct certification” data, such as data from the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP) or Temporary Assistance for Needy Families (TANF) program to determine the federal cash reimbursement for meals provided by USDA.  OSPI Bulletin scheduled for September release provides more details.  Free or Reduced Price Meals Low-Income Student Count: This is for schools using “household applications” to identify students eligible for free and reduced price meals.  Note: For purposes of calculating the percent of low-income students in a school, the school may use either CEP or Free and Reduced Price Meals Low-Income Student Count; never both. 12

13. FP 201 – A WALK THROUGH  Page 6 – Public Schools Page (continued)  Ranking Schools  75%+: School meets or exceeds 75% poverty and must be served.  35%+: School meets or exceeds 35% poverty. If the district average as a whole is more than 35%, schools with 35% or more are eligible for service.  District Average+: School meets or exceeds the average poverty percentage for the district as a whole. After 75% buildings are served, the district may choose district average or grade span for remaining buildings.  Grade Span: Schools are selected based on grade span grouping, e.g., K-5, 6-8, 9-12, etc. Grade span grouping allows districts to determine a poverty average per grade span. Those buildings meeting or exceeding the average for the grade span are eligible for service. After 75% buildings are served, the district may choose district average or grade span for remaining buildings. 13

14. FP 201 – A WALK THROUGH  Page 6 – Public Schools Page (continued)  Ranking Schools  Feeder: Indicates the use of extrapolating poverty data from one grade span to another in order to obtain eligibility status. For example, the 40% poverty rate for grades K-5 could be used for the middle grades.  Waiver: Indicates an otherwise ineligible building was served the prior year and may be served one additional year. Elementary and Secondary Education Act (ESEA) Sec. 1113 (b)(1)(C)  Less than 1000 students: Total district enrollment is less than 1000 students - use head count.  Ten percent (10%) reservation of building allocation for professional development ONLY for schools in improvement. 14
