Siloam Springs School District
As we share this month’s Inside the Boardroom recap, we want to highlight an important resolution approved at Thursday’s board meeting. Over the past several months, we’ve had ongoing conversations about our growing meal debt and how school meal funding works. We understand that families across our community are facing financial challenges, regardless of income level. Our focus has been on identifying a thoughtful, long-term solution—one that addresses our current needs while continuing to support the well-being of our students and families.
With that in mind, we are pleased to share that the Board of Education has approved a resolution to apply for the Community Eligibility Provision (CEP) Program. This program would allow us to provide lunch to all students at no cost, regardless of income. We are planning for implementation beginning in the 2026–2027 school year.
