School Funding and Meal Programs

Starting November 2023, Indian River Central School District (IRCSD) was approved for district wide CEP (Community Eligibility Program) for the School Meal program. This means all students are able to receive one reimbursable breakfast and one reimbursable lunch per day when offered for no charge.

Schools depend on Federal & State funding. If your family does not receive SNAP, TANF or McKinney-Vento benefits, your child(ren)’s school district depends on this economic survey to provide numerous State & Federal Aid funding programs that affect your child’s educational experience.

Please download and complete the CEP Economic Survey Form in PDF or DOCX format on this page to ensure our District receives this important funding.
