Benjamin Franklin Elementary

The Vincennes Community School Corporation will once again participate in the Community Eligibility Provision (CEP) for the 2026–2027 school year.

That means every VCSC student will receive free breakfast and lunch throughout the 2026–2027 school year.

No meal application is required, and no further action is needed from families.
