Community Eligibility Provision
Sherman ISD is able to provide meals at no cost to all students through the Community Eligibility Provision. This national program is available to districts that serve a significant number of students from low-income families and increases access to nutritious meals at school.
Sherman ISD families are no longer required to complete an annual household application for free or reduced-price meals as a result of the district's participation in the CEP. However, families are asked to complete a short socioeconomic form as part of the annual online student registration form. The state of Texas requires schools to report income data for school funding and accountability purposes.
Help SISD Continue to Qualify for Meal Funding!
Sherman ISD is able to provide free meals to all students in the district, thanks to household income data provided by parents each year on the online student registration form. Be sure to respond to the socioeconomic survey annually!
In addition to helping our schools continue to qualify for meal funding, the survey impacts federal and state funding to SISD and provides additional benefits to students and families who qualify, including:
- Free dual credit classes
- SAT and ACT fee waivers
- College application fee waivers
If you didn’t make a household income selection as part of this year’s registration form, please take a few minutes to log back on and help SISD continue to offer free meals to all students!
