The Department of Agriculture Food and Nutrition Service awarded the Wyoming Department of Education $15,342,462 in National School Lunch Program (CFDA 10.555) formula grant funding on October 1, 2025, for the period ending September 30, 2026. The award supports Wyoming's administration of the National School Lunch Program, which provides nutritionally balanced, low-cost or no-cost lunches to school children across the state. Wyoming Department of Education, as the state agency, oversees program eligibility determinations, maintains agreements with participating schools and residential child care institutions, and ensures compliance with federal meal pattern requirements. Participating school food authorities receive cash subsidies and USDA Foods for each reimbursable meal served and may be reimbursed for snacks provided through approved afterschool educational or enrichment programs. School food authorities must submit written applications for program participation and maintain full and accurate records of nonprofit food service operations, finances, menu planning, meal counting, and claims for state agency review. Performance occurs throughout Wyoming.
