<b>About Dataset Updates</b><br>
TDA aims to post new program year data by July 15 of the active program period. Due to the short duration of the summer meal programs, dataset updates will occur monthly until 90 days after the close of the program period. After 90 days from the close of the program period, the dataset will be updated at six months and one year from the close of program period before becoming archived. Archived datasets will remain published but will not be updated. Any data posted during the active program year is subject to change.<p>
