Food Assistance: Schools That Left the National School Lunch Program
(Briefing Report, 12/03/93, GAO/RCED-94-36BR).

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.
