This report, the third in its series, examined the implementation of the pilots, assessed their costs, and estimated their impacts on a set of outcomes designed to measure the success of the school meal programs in providing free or reduced-price meals to their target population without providing benefits to ineligible students. This report focuses on impacts of the pilots on students? participation in the NSLP. In particular, the report examines the impacts of Up-Front Documentation and Graduated Verification on the extent to which students get any school lunch, as well as the extent to which they buy free meals, reduced-price meals, or full-price (or paid) meals, both among all students and among those whose incomes make them eligible for free and/or reduced-price meals. Contains 21 Tables, and Appendix A contains an analysis of administrative data.
