Chef Jim Price, Director of Child Nutrition for Okmulgee Public Schools, announced this week that Okmulgee Public Schools will be participating in the National School Lunch and School Breakfast Programs Community Eligibility Provision (CEP) for School Year 2024-2025.

All enrolled students are eligible to receive a healthy breakfast and lunch at school at no charge to your household each day they are in attendance for the 2024-2025 school year. No further action is required as students will be able to participate in these meal programs without having to pay a fee or submit a meal application.

The district may require a separate form to be completed for funding purposes. This is not a meal application and eligibility cannot be determined by this form.

For further information, please contact Okmulgee Public Schools Director of Child Nutrition, Chef Jim Price, at 918-758-2000, x 2102, or email jprice@okmulgeeps.com.
