About the Dataset
This dataset contains
contact information and program participation information for all School Nutrition Program (SNP) meal sites approved by TDA to operate during the 2023-2024 program year. Contracting Entities (CE) or sites they sponsor may cancel or terminate participation after initial approval. The school nutrition program year begins July 1 and ends June 30.

About Dataset Updates
TDA aims to post new program year data by September 1 of the active program year. Data is scheduled to update daily until approximately 90 days after the close of the program year. After 90 days from the close of the program year, this dataset will remain published but will no longer be updated.
