Commodities Program Grant Renewal Update for School Year 2014-2015 - Agreement #82002
to receive commodities from the United States Department of Agriculture (USDA) Food
Commodities Program through FDACS.
BACKGROUND: The Department of Corrections, in cooperation with the Okaloosa County
School Board, provides educational opportunities for juveniles and youthful offenders in
accordance with Florida Statute 951.176. Consequently, the Department of Corrections is

expenses related to meals for juvenile inmates who qualify for the program. The Department of
Corrections has participated in this program for several years. Participation in the USDA
Commodities Program is required to maintain good standing with the School Lunch Program.
The program is renewable annually.

documents required for annual renewal including the Delegation of Authority, and any future
grant documents during the term of the grant.
