National School Lunch Program federal funding in New York

The National School Lunch Program (CFDA 10.555) shows $9,364,625,573.71 in USAspending.gov obligations coded to New York, on 31 awards. This page joins that USDA catalog program to New York place-of-performance. It is not a count of meals served, not a count of school districts, and not an outlay conversion. Thirty-one rows can still carry a large federal-to-state nutrition book. USAspending.gov is the source.

Key figures

  • CFDA 10.555 × New York records $9,364,625,573.71 in USAspending obligations.
  • 31 awards underlie that sum; the mean is about $302.08 million per record, not a typical meal reimbursement.
  • Matching school lunch to New York is not causation and not a meal census.
  • Cite obligations from USAspending.gov, not outlays.

Thirty-one school-lunch awards tagged to New York

CFDA 10.555 is National School Lunch Program. New York (NY) is the geography tag. Together they produce $9,364,625,573.71 and 31 records. A 10.555 award tagged to New Jersey, Pennsylvania, or Connecticut is excluded. A New York SNAP (10.551) row is a different nutrition CFDA. This page does not add SNAP to the school-lunch cell.

Thirty-one awards against $9,364,625,573.71 yields a mean of about $302,084,695.93 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.

Albany did not cause $9,364,625,573.71 by appearing as a state code. Correlation is not causation. National School Lunch Program in New York is the live overlay.

What CFDA 10.555 reports without becoming a meal count

SpendingVault does not grade New York’s school-meal participation. $9,364,625,573.71 is an obligation sum, not a tray count. CFDA 10.555 is the national hub without the New York 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 31 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.

New York’s statewide book besides 10.555

New York federal spending covers every CFDA coded to the state. New York programs is the catalog directory. SNAP is a sibling USDA line, not this join. $9,364,625,573.71 is one cell.

Place-of-performance New York 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 $9,364,625,573.71.

Obligations versus reimbursement cash

An obligation is a recorded commitment. An outlay is a payment. $9,364,625,573.71 is the commitment figure. This page does not convert the 31 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–New York join

Cite: National School Lunch Program (CFDA 10.555) obligated $9,364,625,573.71 on 31 awards coded to New York, 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 31-award count. Prefer the overlay National School Lunch Program in New York when the live table and this snapshot diverge.

What 31 school-lunch rows will not be asked to prove

This page will not treat 31 awards as 31 counties or 31 school districts. It will not compute a per-meal figure because the packet has no meal count. It will not rank New York against other states on 10.555. Peer totals are not in these facts.

SNAP remains outside $9,364,625,573.71. New York federal spending, New York programs, CFDA 10.555, and All spending ties are the parent hubs. None of them recasts this join as a grade of New York’s school-meal program or as an outlay.

The mean of about $302.08 million per record is a quotient, not a typical district year. Keep both the program name and New York 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 New York–tagged state vehicle can therefore carry a large share of the total even though meals are served in thousands of cafeterias. This packet cannot split that pass-through. It only reports 31 awards and the obligation sum.

Universal-meals policy debates in New York City and elsewhere are outside the extract. Using them to “explain” the dollars would import a legislative claim the packet does not contain. If a later bulk load changes the 31-award count or the dollars, trust National School Lunch Program in New York over this snapshot. New York federal spending and New York programs remain the parent directory. Do not freeze $9,364,625,573.71 as a permanent USDA press total. Keep both keys in the citation sentence.

Questions

How much National School Lunch is obligated in New York?
USAspending.gov records $9,364,625,573.71 in CFDA 10.555 obligations across 31 awards coded to New York. That is a program × state join, not an outlay and not New York’s full federal total. Other USDA nutrition lines sit on separate pages.
Does 31 awards mean 31 school districts?
No. It is an award-row count. $9,364,625,573.71 ÷ 31 is about $302.08 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 $9,364,625,573.71 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 New York is the overlay. See New York federal spending, New York programs, CFDA 10.555, and All spending ties. Later ingests override this snapshot. Keep both National School Lunch Program and New York in the citation.

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