1. IDENTIFIED STUDENT PERCENTAGE REPORTING SY 2021 - 2022

2. Identified Student Percentage Reporting (ISP) What is ISP? Why must districts report this information? How do I report it? How is it used? What are my deadlines? Where can I find resources?

3. What is ISP? Identified Student Percentage (ISP) is determined by adding the number of students who are directly certified and marked 04 in eSchool and the number of students who are marked 01 and appear on a categorical list. This does not include student who are 01 based on income. REMEMBER: Students are to be counted only one time! Students must be enrolled in school on April 1, 2022 and must be coded correctly is eSchool.

4. How is ISP figured? For each school: Determine the total number of students who are eligible by direct certification, living in a household of a directly certified student, or placed on a categorical list by April 1, 2022. Determine the enrollment on April 1, 2022. Divide the total number of identified students by the total enrollment and multiply by 100 to determine the Identified Student Percentage. Identified Student % = # of Identified Students Total # of enrolled students X 100

5. Why must I report this information? Section 104A of the Healthy, Hunger Free Kids Act of 2010 amended the Richard B. Russell National School Lunch Act to provide the Community Eligibility Provision as an alternative to household applications. Child Nutrition Unit (CNU) is required to collect data from each individual school within the district with an LEA along with school district and provide feedback to the district and to USDA by May 1 each year.

7. What do I need to complete the ISP report? Direct certification lists for 2021-22. Pulls were made on August 25, 2021, September 23, 2021 and January 25, 2022. The final pull will be on April 1, 2022. Hard copies of these documents are required for documentation. Categorical lists pulled on or before April 1, 2022.

These numbers are used to determine if a school, a group of schools, or a district is eligible to participate in the Community Eligibility Provision (CEP). Schools will be notified if their numbers meet the minimum threshold for participation in CEP. CNU reports these numbers to USDA Food and Nutrition Services (FNS). USDA compiles data from all states.
