The Department of Agriculture Food and Nutrition Service awarded the Illinois State Board of Education $114,928 on October 1, 2025, under the State Administrative Expenses for Child Nutrition program (CFDA 10.560), a formula grant supporting administrative oversight of child nutrition programs through September 30, 2026.

The award funds administrative expenses for ISBE's supervision and technical assistance to local schools, school districts, and institutions administering National School Lunch, School Breakfast, Special Milk, and Child and Adult Care Food Programs across Illinois. The formula grant allocation is based on one percent of funds expended under the National School Lunch Act and Child Nutrition Act during the second preceding fiscal year for lunch, breakfast, and milk programs, plus a tiered percentage of Child and Adult Care Food Program expenditures ranging from twenty percent on the first $50,000 to two and one-half percent of remaining funds.

ISBE, a state education agency, administers child nutrition programs statewide and functions as a pass-through entity distributing sub-awards to local school districts and participating institutions. The State of Illinois, through its Office of the Governor, is the parent recipient organization. Performance takes place in Illinois.
