Community Eligibility Provision

The Colchester School District now participates in the Community Eligibility Provision (CEP). This provision and Universal Free Meals ensures that all Colchester students will continue to receive free school meals regardless of household income eligibility. While meals are free, it is still helpful for families to complete a Household Income Form. Filling out this form only takes a few minutes. It will help your community, your school and your property taxes. The information you give helps your school access federal and state education dollars. This funding supports reading, math, science, arts, PE, afterschool and other vital programming. The privacy of your household financial information is protected by law. Information collected through this form will be handled in accordance with privacy requirements. Only one form is needed per household: https://education.vermont.gov/householdincome

If you have questions regarding your student's meal eligibility, please email [email protected] or call 802-264-5985.

The most convenient way to complete this form is online with the link provided here: https://education.vermont.gov/householdincome
