AURORA, IL — All East Aurora School District 131 students will receive free meals this school year, administrators announced Wednesday.
During the 2025-26 school year, students won't have to worry about eating breakfast at home or packing a lunch — the district will provide both every school day.
"This opportunity is made possible through the Community Eligibility Provision (CEP), a program under the National School Lunch and School Breakfast Programs," District 131 officials wrote in a news release. "CEP allows schools to serve meals at no charge to all enrolled students, regardless of household income."
