Project Grant 258KS200N7603

This federal Project Grant award, valued at $541,924.00, was provided by the U.S. Department of Agriculture's Food and Nutrition Service under the Child Nutrition-Technology Innovation Grant program (CFDA 10.541). The award supports the Kansas State Department of Education (KSDE) in developing, improving, and maintaining automated information systems to enhance accountability, data accuracy, performance measurement, and management capabilities across the National School Lunch Program, School Breakfast Program, Child and Adult Care Food Program, and Summer Food Service Program. As the primary grantee, KSDE will leverage this funding to implement technological solutions that streamline the administration of child nutrition programs across Kansas, potentially sub-awarding portions of the grant to local educational agencies, school districts, community organizations, and non-profit entities to execute the technology-driven improvements. The grant award period runs from September 30, 2025, through September 30, 2028.
