Reminder: LSWP Triennial Assessment Due June 30
This is a reminder that the COVID-19 state of emergency is no longer in effect and the COVID-19 Local School Wellness Policy (LSWP) Triennial Assessment (TEA) Waiver is ending. Therefore, if you have not completed the LSWP TEA in the last three years, it is due June 30, 2023.
Background
The U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA) requires all local educational agencies (LEA) operating the National School Lunch Program or School Breakfast Program to establish a LSWP. Beginning in 2017, the USDA required LEAs with established LSWPs to conduct a TEA every three years of LSWP implementation with the first TEA deadline of June 30, 2020. However, during the COVID-19 pandemic, the USDA released a waiver extending this deadline, as needed, through June 30, 2023. All LEAs with at least three years of LSWP implementation must have completed at least one TEA by June 30, 2023.Resources
