The Department of Education of Puerto Rico has been awarded a $51,740,606 Formula Grant under the U.S. Department of Agriculture's National School Lunch Program (CFDA 10.555). This funding will support the department's efforts to provide nutritious, non-profit lunch services for school children across Puerto Rico. The grant, effective October 1, 2024 through September 30, 2025, enables the department to procure food, operate meal programs, deliver nutrition education, and upgrade kitchen equipment in schools territory-wide. As both the state education agency (SEA) and local education agency (LEA) for Puerto Rico, the Department of Education oversees the implementation of this federal program, issuing sub-awards to local entities as needed to deliver these educational and food services directly to students.
