National School Lunch Program in Pennsylvania

Pennsylvania × 10.555 is a school-lunch join, not a meal census

This page pairs CFDA 10.555, NATIONAL SCHOOL LUNCH PROGRAM, with Pennsylvania place of performance. SpendingVault sums tagged obligations: $6,695,455,606 on 14 awards. The join is USDA's National School Lunch Program listing crossed with a Pennsylvania location field, not Pennsylvania's entire child-nutrition book and not a count of lunches served. Treat the pair as a catalog intersection, not a ranking, and not a claim that 14 awards equal that many lunches served, students, or named districts.

School breakfast, SNAP, and other USDA nutrition codes sit outside this total unless they also carry 10.555. Correlation between this obligation sum and local need statistics is not causation. Those statistics are not in the packet. Pennsylvania (PA) excludes New Jersey, New York, Ohio, Maryland, Delaware, and West Virginia. A New Jersey NSLP award is another cell. Place of performance as Pennsylvania locates the tagged awards; it does not deposit $6,695,455,606 in the state treasury.

Fourteen USDA rows behind a $6.70 billion book

Mean obligation is about $478.25 million if $6,695,455,606 were divided evenly across 14 lines. That ratio is a quotient of two packet facts, not a published typical award. Fourteen records against $6,695,455,606 is a thin child-nutrition file: state-agency vehicles, not a row per school district. Award count is a row count, including possible continuations. It is not a census of lunches served, students, or named districts.

Fourteen awards are scannable on the overlay. This page will not invent recipient names. Open National School Lunch Program in Pennsylvania for the stored table. Philadelphia, Pittsburgh, and rural districts are unpublished. Fourteen awards are not fourteen districts. The $6,695,455,606 total remains an obligation rollup on tagged awards.

Questions

How much National School Lunch Program funding is obligated in Pennsylvania?

USAspending.gov shows $6,695,455,606 in obligations for CFDA 10.555 with Pennsylvania as place of performance, across 14 awards. The sum is a commitment total on assistance awards, not outlays and not Pennsylvania's entire federal-spending total. Other listings are outside this join unless they also carry 10.555.

Do 14 awards equal 14 Pennsylvania school districts?

No. Award count is a row count of assistance awards and can include continuations. It is not a census of lunches served, students, or named districts. The packet does not name recipients. See National School Lunch Program in Pennsylvania for named lines as USAspending stored them. The implied mean near $478.25 million is a ratio, not a typical unit.

Is this Pennsylvania's entire Pennsylvania child-nutrition budget?

No. The join is CFDA 10.555 crossed with Pennsylvania place of performance. Related programs on other CFDA numbers are not inside $6,695,455,606 unless the award also carries 10.555. School breakfast, SNAP, and other USDA nutrition codes sit outside this total unless they also carry 10.555. Mixing catalogs would invent a combined figure the packet never computed.

Is the National School Lunch Program total already paid in Pennsylvania?

Not on this metric. Obligations are recorded commitments on assistance awards. Outlays are payments from the Treasury. The $6,695,455,606 headline is the obligation rollup in SpendingVault's extract. Completed activity and remaining balances are not published in this packet.
