摘要

Through USDA’s National School Lunch Program (NSLP) and School Breakfast Program (SBP), schools receive financial support to assist them in serving nutritious meals to students. At the local level, the NSLP and SBP are administered by a school food authority (SFA), usually a unit of the school district. SFAs are reimbursed by USDA for the breakfasts and lunches they serve on the basis of students’ financial need, allowing schools to provide free or reduced-price healthful meals to low-income students. Reimbursement rates are set nationwide, yet variations in school location, size, and other factors may affect the costs to schools for providing meals. Previous ERS research found school per-meal costs varied by location, but the analysis did not separate breakfast and lunch costs. This study builds on that previous research by examining how the costs of school breakfasts and of lunches are affected differently by economies of scale; the balance in the number of breakfasts and lunches served by a given SFA (lunch-breakfast ratio); factor (food, labor, and supplies) prices; and SFA characteristics. A better understanding of the extent of cost variation across SFAs for each type of school meal— breakfast and lunch—may benefit policy and program officials because schools have the option of choosing to serve breakfasts and/or lunches, and costs may influence that decision.
