FNS Documents & Resources

This webinar is intended for states and school districts that serve direct delivered USDA Foods for child nutrition programs.

This webinar details guidance and best practices for incorporating integrity-oriented design features into web-based school meal applications. 

This is a new collection to review and document state and school food authority National School Lunch and School Breakfast programs Management Information Systems in order to provide FNS with a baseline assessment of the MIS system and to inform FNS regarding how states and SFAs use data systems beyond fulfilling FNS reporting requirements.

This is a request for information from Management Information Systems software and hardware vendors and developers to learn about the functionality of state and school food authority National School Lunch and School Breakfast program data management information systems. 

FNS is aware that school food authorities and program operators may be operating NSLP, SBP, and other child nutrition programs, in a way that includes offering reimbursable meals and non-program foods (a la carte sales, catering, adult meals, etc.) using foods from popular franchise restaurants through a franchise agreement.

This is a request for information from Management Information Systems software and hardware vendors and developers  to learn about the functionality of state and school food authority NSLP and SBP data management information systems.

The purpose of this memorandum is to clarify for state and local operators of the school meal programs the permissible use of funds from the nonprofit school food service account to lower or eliminate reduced price student meal charges.

Today’s unpredictable economy has made it important to consider accounting for the fluctuating costs of goods and services that are beyond the control of either the school food authority or the vendor.
