Federal Grant Award Summary

The West Virginia Department of Education received a $1,274,664 formula grant award from the U.S. Department of Agriculture Food and Nutrition Service under the State Administrative Expenses for Child Nutrition program (CFDA 10.560) for the period October 1, 2025 through September 30, 2027. This funding supports the state agency's administrative expenses in supervising and providing technical assistance for child nutrition initiatives, including oversight and implementation of the National School Lunch Program, School Breakfast Program, Special Milk Program, and Child and Adult Care Food Program.

The grant enables the state agency to manage critical food service functions such as meal reimbursement processing, commodity distribution oversight, and technical support to local school districts and institutions throughout West Virginia. As a formula-based allocation, the funding amount was determined by predetermined methodologies tied to the state's prior-year child nutrition program expenditures. The award requires the state agency to maintain comprehensive accounting records, execute a written agreement with the federal agency, and comply with annual single audit requirements.
