LUBBOCK, Texas (KCBD) - Lubbock Independent School District announced it will operate under the Community Eligibility Provision (CEP) for the 2026-2027 school year, providing free breakfast and lunch to all enrolled students across all district schools.

The program eliminates the need for families to fill out traditional free and reduced-price meal applications, reducing administrative requirements for both parents and school staff.

While meal applications are no longer required, district officials are asking parents to complete a confidential socio-economic information form.
