Due to the Consolidated Appropriations Act of 2023, any NSLP CE with a positive or zero balance in its nonprofit school food service account on June 30, 2022, is exempt from PLE pricing requirements for SY 2023-2024. CEs should document their use of this flexibility but are not required to notify TDA.
Further, CEs or sites that have implemented a non-pricing policy that applies to all students are not required to complete PLE. This includes the Community Eligibility Provision (CEP), Provision 2 (P2), or other non-pricing, universal free feeding programs that provide reimbursable meals at no charge to all students.
