Schools wishing to operate the National School Breakfast Program (NSBP) must be a public or private non-profit elementary or secondary school, Residential Child Care Institution (RCCI), Bureau of Indian Affairs (BIA) school, or an educational service agency and become approved as an NSBP sponsor or participate under an existing program sponsor.
To become a sponsor of the NSBP, an Application of Intent to Participate must be submitted to the Utah State Board of Education Child Nutrition Program (CNP) office by February 15 prior to the school year you are working to implement the NSBP at your school. The Application of Intent allows you to participate in the training and approval process to become a program sponsor. All training and approval requirements must be completed between February 15 and September 30 to operate the program as a sponsor.
Schools already providing the National School Lunch Program (NSLP) and/or the NSBP do not need to submit an Application of Intent for the following school year as they are already an approved program sponsor or are operating under an approved sponsor. If a current NSLP sponsor wishes to add the breakfast program at their school, please contact the Utah State Board of Education Child Nutrition Program (CNP).
Schools may apply for the following status:
