SEC. 2. FINDINGS AND PURPOSE.

(a) Findings.--Congress finds the following:
(1) Through the National School Lunch Program (NSLP) and
the School Breakfast Program (SBP), school food service has
played an integral role in the health and nutrition of American
children, and remains one of the key safety-nets in place to
alleviate childhood hunger and malnutrition domestically. In
2009, the NSLP served more than 31,000,000 students every day,
while the SBP fed over 11,000,000 students.
(2) The NSLP and SBP are shared responsibilities between
the Federal, State, and local governments.
(3) In 2009 the Federal Government spent more than
$12,000,000,000 to support the NSLP and the SBP, to ensure
students across the country received at least one healthy meal
every school day.
(4) Faced with growing student participation and increased
costs, school food service programs across the country are
facing unprecedented budget crises.
(5) According to a recent study by the School Nutrition
Association, 52 percent of school food service programs are
charged indirect costs by local educational agencies. Indirect
costs are costs incurred for a common purpose that benefit more
than one programmatic objective.
(6) According to the study, there is an overall lack of
consistency amongst local educational agencies nationwide about
what method should be used to identify and calculate indirect
costs, and what constitute appropriate direct cost charges to
school food authorities.
(7) School food service must operate on a nonprofit basis,
balance cost with revenue, and ensure all revenue generated is
used to support or improve the food service.
(b) Purposes.--The purposes of this Act are to--
(1) ensure Federal funds are being appropriately spent to
benefit the health and nutrition of American children;
(2) study the impact of indirect and direct costs charged
to the NSLP and SBP programs;
(3) study the types and amounts of indirect and direct
costs charged and recovered by local educational agencies; and
(4) encourage the Secretary to issue regulations to ensure
the effectiveness of Federal support for the NSLP and SBP.
