MEDIA RELEASE__On August 4, Apollo Career Center announced a change to its policy for serving meals to children served under the National School Lunch Program and School Breakfast Program for the 2025-2026 school year.

Schools qualifying to operate the Community Eligibility Provision (CEP) provide breakfast and lunch to all children at no charge and eliminate the collection of meal applications for free, reduced-price and paid student meals. 

This new approach reduces burdens for both families and school administrators and helps ensure that students receive nutritious meals.
