CNP SAF (o) - child nutrition program

The Department of Agriculture Food and Nutrition Service awarded Kansas State Department of Education $191,886 on October 1, 2025, under the State Administrative Expenses for Child Nutrition program (CFDA 10.560), a formula grant supporting state administrative functions for Child Nutrition Programs through September 30, 2026.

The award funds administrative expenses and technical assistance provided by Kansas State Department of Education to local schools, school districts, and institutions conducting Child Nutrition Programs, including the National School Lunch Program, School Breakfast Program, Special Milk Program, and Child and Adult Care Food Program. Performance occurs in Kansas.

The formula allocation reflects one percent of funds expended by Kansas during fiscal year 2024 under applicable sections of the National School Lunch Act and Child Nutrition Act of 1966, plus a tiered percentage of Child and Adult Care Food Program expenditures (twenty percent of the first $50,000; ten percent of the next $100,000; five percent of the next $250,000; and two and one-half percent of remaining funds). Kansas State Department of Education may carry over up to twenty percent of allocated SAE funds for obligation and expenditure in the succeeding fiscal year. The state must maintain accounting records of SAE fund authorizations, obligations, unobligated balances, assets, liabilities, outlays, and income, and complete an annual single audit.
