Ohio × 10.555 is a lunch listing, not a district meal score
This page pairs CFDA 10.555, NATIONAL SCHOOL LUNCH PROGRAM, with Ohio place of performance. SpendingVault sums tagged obligations: $3,506,541,310.59 on 12 awards. The join is USDA's National School Lunch Program listing crossed with an Ohio location field, not Ohio'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 12 awards equal that many lunches served, students, or named districts.
School breakfast and SNAP stay on other USDA codes 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. Ohio (OH) excludes Michigan, Pennsylvania, Indiana, Kentucky, and West Virginia. A Pennsylvania NSLP award is another cell. Place of performance as Ohio locates the tagged awards; it does not deposit $3,506,541,310.59 in the state treasury.
Twelve USDA rows, close to Pennsylvania's NSLP count
Mean obligation is about $292.21 million if $3,506,541,310.59 were divided evenly across 12 lines. That ratio is a quotient of two packet facts, not a published typical award. Twelve records against $3,506,541,310.59 is a thin child-nutrition file, slightly smaller in both dollars and rows than Pennsylvania's 14-award NSLP extract. Award count is a row count, including possible continuations. It is not a census of lunches served, students, or named districts.
Twelve awards are scannable on the overlay. This page will not invent recipient names. Open National School Lunch Program in Ohio for the stored table. Cleveland, Columbus, Cincinnati, and rural districts are unpublished. Twelve awards are not twelve districts. The $3,506,541,310.59 total remains an obligation rollup on tagged awards.
Ohio lunch dollars are commitments, not meals served
An obligation is a recorded commitment. An outlay is a payment. The $3,506,541,310.59 headline is the obligation sum, not meals already reimbursed. No fiscal year is attached in this packet, so this page does not invent one. Citing the figure as cash already sent in Ohio confuses two USAspending concepts.
Deobligations and upward adjustments both move the total. Ohio's own budget is a different ledger. Mixing it with the 12-award USAspending file leaves this series. Keep the obligation label on $3,506,541,310.59. Campaign contributions recorded on FEC.gov do not fund this USAspending cell.
What the Ohio 10.555 table omits
The extract has no roster of lunches served, students, or named districts. Facts remain $3,506,541,310.59, 12 awards, CFDA 10.555, and Ohio. This page will not invent a county league table. Sibling 10.555 joins in other states are separate obligation totals, not a better or worse score. Ohio (OH) excludes Michigan, Pennsylvania, Indiana, Kentucky, and West Virginia. A Pennsylvania NSLP award is another cell.
Ohio federal spending and Ohio programs place 10.555 among other listings. CFDA 10.555 is the national catalog line. All spending ties indexes other CFDA × state pairs. Mixing those shelves would invent a share of Ohio spending the packet never computed. The $3,506,541,310.59 figure is the tagged pair only.
