School Funding and Meal Programs

The Indian River Central School District is pleased to announce that we will continue to participate in the Community Eligibility Provision (CEP) for the 2025–2026 school year. Under CEP, all students are eligible to receive one free reimbursable breakfast and one free reimbursable lunch each school day at no charge, regardless of household income.

While no meal application is required, we kindly ask all families to complete the attached Economic Survey. This form is critical in helping the district secure continued State and Federal Aid that directly supports your child’s education, including:

  • Title I program funding
  • Classroom technology
  • Instructional supports
  • Counseling and academic intervention services

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.

You can also easily input the Economic Survey online where it is sent directly to the district for processing at https://www.myschoolapps.​com/Home/PickDistrict?ZipCode=​13634&State= Simply click on “Select District & Continue” at the bottom and complete!
