Provide for statewide participation in the federal Community Eligibility Provision for its duration

HB 2821 requires all West Virginia schools eligible for the federal Community Eligibility Provision (CEP) to apply for this program, ensuring free breakfast and lunch for all students in those schools without cost. It directly affects qualifying public schools and their students, particularly in under-resourced districts prioritized for expansion. The bill mandates county education boards to maximize federal funding through CEP participation and report on program impacts annually. This policy change shifts meal funding to a universal model for eligible schools, aligning with the existing "Feed to Achieve" initiative to provide healthy meals to all elementary students. The bill focuses on administrative requirements for school participation, not new funding sources.
