The Department of Agriculture Food and Nutrition Service awarded the Connecticut Department of Education $126,122 on October 1, 2025, under the State Administrative Expenses for Child Nutrition program (CFDA 10.560), a Formula Grant. The award funds administrative expenses and technical assistance for supervising and supporting local schools, school districts, and institutions in their conduct of child nutrition programs, including the National School Lunch Program, School Breakfast Program, and Child and Adult Care Food Program. The period of performance runs through September 30, 2026, with performance taking place in Connecticut. Connecticut's allocation derives from the prior fiscal year's child nutrition program expenditures under a tiered formula: one percent of funds expended under the National School Lunch Act and Child Nutrition Act, and a graduated percentage of funds expended under the Child and Adult Care Food Program, scaled from twenty percent of the first $50,000 through two and one-half percent of remaining funds. State agencies must submit an initial SAE plan for approval before funds are released, and the Connecticut Department of Education maintains accounting records tracking fund authorizations, obligations, unobligated balances, assets, liabilities, outlays, and income, with annual single audit compliance required.
