Concept explainers
According to the Food and Nutrition Service of the U.S. Department of Agriculture, in one school year the National School Lunch Program (NSLP) served 31.2 million school lunches. Of these, 16.1 million students received free lunches, 3.2 million received lunches at a reduced price, and 11.9 million paid full price for their lunches.
The federal government reimburses school districts $2.68 for each free lunch, $2.28 for each reduced-price lunch, and $0.25 for each paid lunch. In addition to cash reimbursements, schools are entitled to receive USDA foods called “entitlement” foods at a value of 19.50 cents for each lunch served.
You are the administrator in charge of the school lunch program for your school district. Last month the schools in your district served 25,000 free lunches, 15,000 “reduced-price” lunches, and 50,000 regular-priced served.
You are the administrator in charge of the school lunch program for your school district. Last month the schools in your district served 25,000 free lunches, 15,000 “reduced-price” lunches, and 50,000 regular-priced lunches.
Calculate the amount of reimbursement you expect to receive from the NSLP for last month.
In addition to the lunch reimbursement, the NSLP program pays your district $.035 per one-half pint of milk served with each meal. If each student averaged 1 one-half pint of milk per meal, calculate the total amount of milk reimbursement you expect for last month.
The Bottom Line – What is the total amount of reimbursement your district will receive for last month?
Red Tape – The government paperwork you must submit requires that you report the average reimbursement per student for both lunch and milk combined last month. Calculate this amount.
The National School Lunch Program (NSLP) is a federally assisted meal program operating in public and nonprofit private schools and residential child care institutions. It provides nutritionally balanced, low-cost or free lunches to children each school day. The program was established under the National School Lunch Act and signed by President Harry Truman in 1946.
