This federal Project Grant award, valued at $702,952.00, was provided by the U.S. Department of Agriculture's Food and Nutrition Service under the Child Nutrition-Technology Innovation Grant (CFDA 10.541) program. The grant supports the Kansas State Department of Education (KSDE) in developing, improving, and maintaining automated information systems for Child Nutrition Programs (CNPs), including the National School Lunch Program, School Breakfast Program, Child and Adult Care Food Program, and Summer Food Service Program. The grant aims to leverage technological solutions to enhance program accountability, data accuracy, performance measurement, and management capabilities across these national nutrition assistance initiatives. KSDE, as the prime awardee, will strategically distribute sub-awards to local school districts, educational cooperatives, and community organizations to implement the technology-based systems and support services. The award period extends from September 2024 to September 2028.
