National School Lunch Program (NSLP)

The National School Lunch Program (NSLP) is a federally assisted meal program operating in public and nonprofit private schools and residential childcare institutions. It provides nutritionally balanced, low-cost, or free lunches to children each school day. The NSLP was established under the National School Lunch Act, signed by President Harry Truman in 1946.

In Oklahoma, the National School Lunch Program (NSLP) operates in line with federal guidelines to provide nutritious lunches to children in public and nonprofit private schools, as well as residential childcare institutions. The program aims to offer meals at a free or reduced cost to eligible children, ensuring that all students have access to healthy food during the school day. Eligibility for free or reduced-price meals is typically determined by family income levels in relation to federal poverty guidelines. The program is administered at the federal level by the U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA) and is implemented at the state level by the Oklahoma State Department of Education, which oversees the application process for schools and ensures compliance with the nutritional standards set forth by the NSLP.
