DISCUSSION:
The Child Nutrition Reauthorization Act provides reimbursement for snacks served to children through age
eighteen who are participating in certain after school programs. The programs must be located in low -
income areas and should be designed to provide the types of activities known to reduce or prevent
involvement in juvenile crime. The basic purpose of the program is to provide care for children after the
school day has ended and the program must provide children with regularly scheduled educational or
enrichment activities in a structured and supervised environment.
The Texas Department of Agriculture has notified the City of Fort Worth that funds are available for the
Child and Adult Care Food Program for At -Risk After School Programs. It is projected that 100,000
snacks will be served to approximately 1,000 children at nineteen community centers operating At -Risk
After School Programs from October 1, 2011 through September 30, 2012. The Community Services
Division of the Parks and Community Services Department will administer the program according to
guidelines established by the U.S. Department of Agriculture and the Texas Department of
Agriculture. Existing staff administers this program and the grant does not allow for the inclusion of
indirect costs.
