Twenty-two awards is a concentrated nutrition-formula book, similar in row count to North Carolina’s 10.555 cell. NSLP often posts as a small number of large instruments to a state agency that then reimburses school food authorities. The join does not name VDOE, list districts, or count meals. Packet facts stop at $3,136,479,863.75, 22 awards, VA, and 10.555.

10.555 is not SNAP or school breakfast as a roll-up

Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (CFDA 10.551) and the School Breakfast Program are different USDA catalogs. Mixing those dollars into $3,136,479,863.75 would invent a broader nutrition total than this cell contains. Facts available: Virginia, CFDA 10.555, $3,136,479,863.75, 22 awards. Meal counts and free/reduced-price flags are not in the facts.

The catalog title names National School Lunch Program, not a ranking of district need. Dividing $3,136,479,863.75 by 22 yields about $142.57 million per award—a statewide pass-through scale, not a typical cafeteria reimbursement. Unique recipients are unpublished. 22 is not a count of schools.
