The U.S. Department of Agriculture's Food and Nutrition Service awarded a $746,268 Child Nutrition-Technology Innovation Grant (CFDA 10.541) to the West Virginia Department of Education (WVDOE) to develop, improve, and maintain automated information systems for Child Nutrition Programs (CNPs). This Project Grant, with a performance period from September 2024 to September 2028, aims to leverage technological solutions to enhance program accountability, data accuracy, performance measurement, and management capabilities across national nutrition assistance initiatives such as the National School Lunch Program and Child and Adult Care Food Program. As the state agency administering these CNPs, WVDOE will use the grant funding to implement innovative digital systems, training platforms, and performance tracking tools to streamline child nutrition program administration and benefit state and local educational agencies in West Virginia.
