National School Lunch Program federal funding in Florida

The National School Lunch Program (CFDA 10.555) shows $8,672,633,817.10 in USAspending.gov obligations coded to Florida, on 28 awards. This page joins that USDA catalog program to Florida place-of-performance. It is not a count of meals served, not a count of school districts, and not an outlay conversion. Twenty-eight rows can still carry a large federal-to-state nutrition book. USAspending.gov is the source.

Key figures

  • CFDA 10.555 × Florida records $8,672,633,817.10 in USAspending obligations.
  • 28 awards underlie that sum; the mean is about $309.74 million per record, not a typical meal reimbursement.
  • Matching school lunch to Florida is not causation and not a meal census.
  • Cite obligations from USAspending.gov, not outlays.

Twenty-eight school-lunch awards tagged to Florida

CFDA 10.555 is National School Lunch Program. Florida (FL) is the geography tag. Together they produce $8,672,633,817.10 and 28 records. A 10.555 award tagged to Georgia or Alabama is excluded. A Florida SNAP (10.551) row is a different nutrition CFDA. This page does not add SNAP to the school-lunch cell.

Twenty-eight awards against $8,672,633,817.10 yields a mean of about $309,736,922.04 per record. That mean is not a typical district’s annual lunch reimbursement and not a typical meal price. Large state-agency vehicles can dominate dollars on a short row list. This packet does not name those vehicles or districts.

Tallahassee did not cause $8,672,633,817.10 by appearing as a state code. Correlation is not causation. National School Lunch Program in Florida is the live overlay.

What CFDA 10.555 reports without becoming a meal count

SpendingVault does not grade Florida’s school-meal participation. $8,672,633,817.10 is an obligation sum, not a tray count. CFDA 10.555 is the national hub without the Florida filter. This packet has no national school-lunch total, so none is quoted.

FNS meal-count files and state education nutrition dashboards are other series. They are not the 28 USAspending.gov awards. Mixing a meal count from those files with this join would invent a per-meal dollar figure the packet does not support.

Florida’s statewide book besides 10.555

Florida federal spending covers every CFDA coded to the state. Florida programs is the catalog directory. SNAP is a sibling USDA line, not this join. $8,672,633,817.10 is one cell.

Place-of-performance Florida on a school-lunch vehicle is often a state agency address. It is not a map of cafeterias. This packet has no county or district split of the $8,672,633,817.10.

Obligations versus reimbursement cash

An obligation is a recorded commitment. An outlay is a payment. $8,672,633,817.10 is the commitment figure. This page does not convert the 28 awards into meal reimbursements already paid.

State budget documents and education-department appropriations are different ledgers. Keep the citation on USAspending.gov.

How to cite the 10.555–Florida join

Cite: National School Lunch Program (CFDA 10.555) obligated $8,672,633,817.10 on 28 awards coded to Florida, per USAspending.gov. Keep both keys. Do not invent a fiscal year. All spending ties stores this pair with other program-by-state pages.

Later bulk files can move the dollars and the 28-award count. Prefer the overlay National School Lunch Program in Florida when the live table and this snapshot diverge.

What 28 school-lunch rows will not be asked to prove

This page will not treat 28 awards as 28 counties or 28 school districts. It will not compute a per-meal figure because the packet has no meal count. It will not rank Florida against other states on 10.555. Peer totals are not in these facts.

SNAP remains outside $8,672,633,817.10. Florida federal spending, Florida programs, CFDA 10.555, and All spending ties are the parent hubs. None of them recasts this join as a grade of Florida’s school-meal program or as an outlay.

The mean of about $309.74 million per record is a quotient, not a typical district year. Keep both the program name and Florida in every citation sentence. Treat this JSON as a packet snapshot. If a later ingest disagrees, the overlay wins. Keep USAspending.gov as the cited source and keep the obligation label on every sentence that uses the total.

School-lunch dollars often flow to a state agency that then reimburses districts. A Florida-tagged state vehicle can therefore carry a large share of the total even though meals are served across many counties. This packet cannot split that pass-through. It only reports 28 awards and the obligation sum.

Seasonal population and school-calendar stories are not packet facts and will not be used to explain the obligation sum. FNS meal counts remain a different series from these USAspending.gov rows. If a later bulk load changes the 28-award count or the dollars, trust National School Lunch Program in Florida over this snapshot. Florida federal spending and Florida programs remain the parent directory. Do not freeze $8,672,633,817.10 as a permanent USDA press total. Keep both keys in the citation sentence.

Questions

How much National School Lunch is obligated in Florida?
USAspending.gov records $8,672,633,817.10 in CFDA 10.555 obligations across 28 awards coded to Florida. That is a program × state join, not an outlay and not Florida’s full federal total. Other USDA nutrition lines sit on separate pages.
Does 28 awards mean 28 school districts?
No. It is an award-row count. $8,672,633,817.10 ÷ 28 is about $309.74 million per record as a mean, not a typical district reimbursement. This packet does not list districts, cafeterias, or meals served. Formula-style state vehicles often post as a short row list.
Does this include SNAP?
No. The cell is CFDA 10.555 only. SNAP is CFDA 10.551, a separate join. The $8,672,633,817.10 does not swallow SNAP. Mixing the two would invent a combined nutrition total the packet never computed. Keep both sides of the join in the citation.
Where is the live overlay?
National School Lunch Program in Florida is the overlay. See Florida federal spending, Florida programs, CFDA 10.555, and All spending ties. Later ingests override this snapshot. Keep both National School Lunch Program and Florida in the citation. Keep both sides of the join in the citation.

USAspending.gov CFDA program aggregates by place of performance state. Obligations are not outlays.
