Texas School Nutrition Program Sites and Participation for 2025-2026

Texas Department of Agriculture data contains contact and program participation information for all approved School Nutrition Program meal sites for the 2025-2026 program year. The dataset updates daily and covers sites operating from July 1, 2025, to June 30, 2026.

Use Cases

• Map service coverage by analyzing site contact information and program participation status across Texas counties.
• Track program enrollment changes by monitoring site-level participation data for cancellations or terminations.
• Support resource allocation by identifying active meal sites and their associated contracting entities.

Strengths

• Covers all approved School Nutrition Program meal sites for a full program year.
• Data is scheduled for daily updates, providing near-real-time information.
• Managed by the authoritative Texas Department of Agriculture (TDA).

Limitations

• Specific data volume (row and column counts) and sample structure are unavailable for review.
• Data may become static 90 days after the program year ends, limiting historical analysis.
• Potential for incomplete records if sites cancel participation after initial approval.
