Saturday January 30, 2016
2:30 - 3:30 PM
Room 370

The Community Eligibility Program (CEP) from the U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA) can have a major impact on how LEAs and schools report student data and are held accountable under ESEA. This session will describe the CEP program in detail. The session will then analyze the interplay between Title I of ESEA and CEP, describing how CEP affects reporting and accountability and the responsibilities of both the State and the LEA in implementing the program. The session will also include a review of current agency guidance and a discussion of the potential for legislative and regulatory changes in the near future.
