Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Abstract: In compliance with Congressional mandates, a study was undertaken to determine the meal production process (MPP) and operating costs associated with the National School Lunch an School Breakfast programs. Analysis was done on: factors that influenced meal costs in school feeding programs (SFP); variables that affected menu choice and meal costs; statistical models of the MPP at the school district level; and efficiency of various school foodservice (SFS) configurations. Five distinct types of SF kitchens were identified: independent, base, central, receiving, and super. A representative sample of 566 school kitchens was surveyed. Major findings indicated that school kitchens are efficient operations, with kitchens producing the largest number of meals having the lower cost of production per meal. Student levels did not affect the cost of production. (kbc).

Download or read book Developing and Evaluating Methods for Using American Community Survey Data to Support the School Meals Programs written by National Research Council and published by National Academies Press. This book was released on 2010-10-10 with total page 140 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The National School Lunch Program and the School Breakfast Program, administered by the Food and Nutrition Service of the U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA), are key components of the nation's food security safety net, providing free or low-cost meals to millions of school-age children each day. Under the most commonly adopted provisions, USDA reimburses districts for meals served on the basis of data collected in a "base year," during which applications are taken. After 3 or 4 years, applications must be taken again to establish new base-year data, unless the district provides evidence that local conditions have not changed. A special provision that does not require applications to be taken every few years would reduce burden, be more attractive to school districts, and potentially increase student participation by expanding access to free meals. To support the development of such a provision, the Food and Nutrition Service asked the National Academies to study the technical and operational issues that arise in using data from the American Community Survey (ACS)-a new continuous survey replacing the long-form survey of the decennial census-to obtain estimates of students who are eligible for free and reduced-price meals for schools and school districts. Such estimates would be used to develop "claiming percentages" that, if sufficiently accurate, would determine federal reimbursements to districts for the schools that provide free meals to all students under a new special provision that eliminates the base-year requirements of current provisions.

This book was released on 2012-11-18 with total page 383 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The National School Lunch and School Breakfast Programs, administered by the Food and Nutrition Service (FNS) of the U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA), are key components of the nation's food security safety net, providing free or low-cost meals to millions of schoolchildren each day. To qualify their children each year for free or reduced-price meals, many families must submit applications that school officials distribute and review. To reduce this burden on families and schools and to encourage more children to partake of nutritious meals, USDA regulations allow school districts to operate their meals programs under special provisions that eliminate the application process and other administrative procedures in exchange for providing free meals to all students enrolled in one or more school in a district. FNS asked the National Academies' Committee on National Statistics and Food and Nutrition Board to convene a panel of experts to investigate the technical and operational feasibility of using data from the continuous American Community Survey (ACS) to estimate students eligible for free and reduced-price meals for schools and school districts. The ACS eligibility estimates would be used to develop "claiming percentages" that, if sufficiently accurate, would determine the USDA reimbursements to districts for schools that provided free meals to all students under a new special provision that eliminated the ongoing base-year requirements of current provisions. Using American Community Survey Data to Expand Access to the School Meals Program was conducted in two phases. It first issued an interim report (National Research Council, 2010), describing its planned approach for assessing the utility of ACS-based estimates for a special provision to expand access to free school meals. This report is the final phase which presents the panel's findings and recommendations.

This book was released on 2016-02-20 with total page 51 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Through the U.S. Department of Agriculture's (USDA's) National School Lunch and Breakfast Programs, schools receive financial support to assist them in serving nutritious meals to students. Meal reimbursements are provided to a school food authority (SFA) on the basis of a child's financial need. Reimbursement rates are set nationwide, yet variation in school location, size, and other factors which may influence the costs to schools for providing meals, with implications for the adequacy of reimbursement. Previous research found that school foodservice costs vary by location. This study examines breakfast and lunch costs separately to assess how economies of scale and the balance between the number of breakfasts and lunches served affect costs. Costs of both breakfasts and lunches vary considerably across SFAs. Tables and figures. This is a print on demand report.

Office of Analysis and Evaluation and published by . This book was released on 1982 with total page 168 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Abstract: A literature review focused on 3 specific topics: factors affecting student participation in school meal programs; the determinants of school meal costs; and economic cost and production functions. Each section contains subsections. The section on student participation considered participation factors, previous research efforts, and case-by-case review. The meal cost section covered definition and measurement of costs, data sources and uses, production models, and a description of selected research. The section on cost and productions reviewed the literature on theory and economic models of cost and production, joint production, (where 2 products, e.g., breakfast and lunch, are produced) and managerial efficiency. The latter part of section 2 and all of section 3 are written for professional economists and statisticians. Citations of published research are followed by a discussion of the researchers purpose, methodology, and results; a critique also is provided. (kbc).
