Dear SFA Director:

Our State is working with Mathematica, Decision Information Resources, and ProTeam to conduct the 2024–2025 National School Foods Study on behalf of FNS.

Your participation vitally informs future policies for school meals and ensures the meals contribute to a healthier future for children.

All information gathered for this study is for research purposes only and will not affect meal reimbursements to participating schools or school meal program benefits of participating households.

Study representatives will be contacting you in the coming weeks to introduce the National School Foods Study and schedule a week for data collection to take place.

Thank you in advance for your cooperation and participation in this very important study.

Sincerely,

[State CN Director]
