NEW CEP Fee Reductions Information
Beginning school year 2026 - 2027 Lunenburg Public Schools will implement the Community Eligibility Provision (CEP).
Some families have completed meal benefit applications from previous school years and submitted them. We will not be processing meal benefit applications anymore, please don't submit them.
What does this mean for families?
We understand that some families may have questions about how this change affects eligibility for other school related fee reductions or waivers. In the past, meal benefit status was used to help determine whether a family qualified for certain reductions or waivers.
Lunenburg Public Schools will continue to conduct direct certification to identify families who may qualify for benefits. Families identified through direct certification will be notified by U.S. mail. Remember to complete those sharing information forms. Sharing Information Form
Families that do not check the third box on the Sharing Information Form for Transportation fees, will not be considered for a free or reduced fee for bussing.
If you believe your family may qualify for reduced or waived school-related fees but have not received a direct certification letter, please contact the Food Service Director.
Families that have qualified by application in the past:
An Alternative Income Form is available for families who may qualify through the income eligibility process. The form is available in the Districts Central Office.
Please reach out to the Central Office with any questions or if you need assistance completing the form.
Bus Fee Waiver
Note: Please do not complete and submit this waiver if you will be submitting a free/reduced application. This waiver form for fees should only be submitted if you feel your family has certain special circumstances or a hardship. A link to complete the online waiver is below:
THE DEADLINE DATE TO SUBMIT THIS FORM IS MAY 1, 2026. FAILURE TO SUBMIT THIS TRANSPORTATION FORM BY THE DEADLINE WILL RESULT IN THE STUDENT BEING PLACED ON A WAITING LIST IN ORDER OF RECEIPT FOR UP TO 60 DAYS.
