Child Nutrition Eligibility & Education Benefit (CNEEB)

By completing a CNEEB application, households may qualify for:

Free and Reduced-Price Meals,
Reduced fees for other programs and activities, and/or
Summer EBT benefits.

This also helps CVSD secure other educational funding for schools.

Paper applications are also available at all of our schools, the district office, and are linked below.

Reduced Student Fees

You may be eligible for reduced school fees if you qualify for Free or Reduced Meals. To be considered, select "consent to share" information when completing the MealTime (CNEEB) application. *Or complete and return the Consent to Share form below to your child's school, or email it to [email protected].

Each year, a new application is required to see if your household qualifies for free or reduced-price meal benefits.
You may apply at any time during the school year.
*If your child attends a CEP school (see note below), you should still complete the application to ensure you receive all benefits.
*If you directly qualify for Free or Reduced Meal (SNAP/Medicaid), by completing the Consent to Share Form, you may be eligible for reduced student fees.

Be sure to complete the MealTime application every year and select or complete the Consent to Share form.
