About the Dataset

This dataset serves as source data for the Texas Department of Agriculture Food and Nutrition Meal Served Dashboard. Data is based on the School Nutrition Program (SNP) Meal Reimbursement and Seamless Summer Option (SSO) Meal Count datasets currently published on the Texas Open Data Portal. For the purposes of dashboard reporting, the school year for SSO is defined as September 2021 through May 2022 for SSO meals. The School Nutrition Program meals are reported by program year which runs July 1 through June 30.

In March 2020, USDA began allowing flexibility in nutrition assistance program policies in order to support continued meal access should the coronavirus pandemic (COVID-19) impact meal service operation. Flexibilities were extended into the 2021-2022 program year and allowed School Nutrition Programs to operate Seamless Summer Option through the 2021-2022 school year.

For more information on the policies implemented for this purpose, please visit our website at SquareMeals.org.
