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 Utah, 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 offers free or reduced-price meals to eligible children, with eligibility based on household income levels set by the federal government. The NSLP aims to ensure that all students have access to healthy meals during the school day, which is essential for their growth, development, and academic performance. The program is administered at the state level by the Utah State Board of Education, which works with local school authorities to implement the program and ensure compliance with federal regulations. Schools participating in the NSLP receive cash subsidies and USDA Foods from the U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA) for each meal they serve, with the amount of assistance varying based on the income levels of the students' families.
