The Department of Agriculture Food and Nutrition Service awarded $276,777 to the Education & Early Development Alaska DEP Administrative Services Division on October 1, 2025, under the State Administrative Expenses for Child Nutrition program (CFDA 10.560). The award funds administrative expenses for supervising and providing technical assistance to Alaska schools, school districts, and institutions conducting Child Nutrition Programs, including the National School Lunch, School Breakfast, Special Milk, and Child and Adult Care Food Programs. The period of performance runs through September 30, 2026, and work is performed in Alaska. The allocation formula derives from the State's expenditures under the National School Lunch Act and Child Nutrition Act during the second preceding fiscal year, calculated as one percent of funds expended under the National School Lunch and School Breakfast Programs, or a graduated percentage structure for the Child and Adult Care Food Program. Funds are released contingent upon FNS approval of the State agency's administrative expense plan, and the State may carry over up to twenty percent of allocated funds for obligation and expenditure in the succeeding fiscal year.
