Summary:

The National School Lunch Program, established in 1946, is one of the federal government's oldest and largest food assistance programs. Schools participating in the school lunch program receive cash subsidies and food from the Agriculture Department. In turn, schools must meet federal requirements, such as offering free and reduced-price lunches to students and ensuring that lunches meet dietary requirements. This briefing report provides information on the (1) number of schools that withdrew from the program, (2) characteristics of schools that withdrew, (3) reasons why they withdrew, and (4) lunch services offered at the schools after they withdrew.
