The School Food Authority Survey on Supply Chain Disruptions was administered by FNS from November 8th through December 13th through a 20-minute online questionnaire. The survey was sent to all SFAs operating child nutrition programs to gather information on the scope of the supply chain disruptions and school meal operations during school year 2021-22.
Federal regulations require that all sponsor applications be submitted to the state agency by June 15th. States may establish earlier annual deadlines, but are encouraged to work with sponsors wishing to apply after the state’s earlier deadline.
The purpose of this memorandum is to clarify guidance to state agencies on procedures for reviewing the nonprofit status of organizations applying to participate in the SFSP. In addition, this memorandum clarifies the corrective actions required by organizations whose tax-exempt status has been revoked.
This memorandum clarifies how state agencies and school food authorities can use federal funds to support FoodCorps service members.
FNS administers the SFSP at the national and regional levels. Within each state, the program is administered by the state department of education or an alternate state-designated agency. Locally, public or private non-profit organizations that want to “sponsor” the program apply and are approved by the state agency to operate a site.
This memorandum supersedes SP06, SFSP06-2016: Promoting Nutrition in Summer Meals, Nov. 12, 2015.
