National School Lunch Program in Minnesota

School lunch catalog meeting Minnesota

CFDA 10.555 is titled NATIONAL SCHOOL LUNCH PROGRAM. Filtered to Minnesota place of performance, obligations sum to $3,576,641,345.06 on 14 awards. The national 10.555 hub includes every state. Minnesota’s spending hub includes every program. This tie is only the overlap.

Nutrition assistance often posts a small number of large awards to a state agency that then reimburses districts. The join does not list those districts, the number of lunches served, or free-versus-reduced splits. Packet facts stop at dollars, award count, state, and CFDA.

Readers sometimes treat a large CFDA–state total as if it were a budget line the state legislature passed. $3,576,641,345.06 is not that. It is the USAspending obligation sum on awards tagged 10.555 and MN. The overlay table at the program-in-state path is the same cell rendered as a page; this narrative is the join explained in prose. Nothing here ranks Minnesota against other states on need, performance, or politics.

Fourteen awards totaling $3,576,641,345.06 is how statewide nutrition often appears in USAspending: a state agency receives large assistance awards and reimburses schools. The about $255.47 million mean is not a cafeteria budget. Meal counts, free/reduced shares, and district names are absent from the facts.

CFDA 10.555 is not every USDA nutrition line

School breakfast, child and adult care food, and summer food service use other CFDA numbers. Folding those into $3,576,641,345.06 would invent a broader child-nutrition total than this cell contains. Crop insurance and other Minnesota USDA catalogs are likewise separate rows.

Facts on this page: Minnesota, CFDA 10.555, $3,576,641,345.06, 14 awards. Commodity deliveries, administrative-expense splits, and school names are not in the facts. The catalog title describes the program family, not a cafeteria ledger.

The only numeric facts on this packet are $3,576,641,345.06, 14 awards, CFDA 10.555, program title National School Lunch Program, and geography MN/Minnesota. Any other dollar, year, recipient, or percentage would be invented. Trivial arithmetic from those facts is allowed: 14 awards into $3,576,641,345.06 is about $255.47 million per award. That quotient is a mean of records, not a typical household, student, or lab.

USDA nutrition is a family. Breakfast, summer meals, and child-care food sit on other numbers. $3,576,641,345.06 is lunch (10.555) × Minnesota. Crop insurance in Minnesota is a different USDA catalog with its own tie.
