<b>About Dataset Updates</b><br>
TDA aims to post new program participation data by April 1 of the active program year. Due to the short duration of the summer meal programs, updates to the program participation dataset will occur every two weeks until the end of August.<p>

All TDA datasets will have a final active update 90 days after the close of the program period. Datasets will be updated at six months and one year from the close of program period before becoming archived. <b>Any data posted during the active update schedule is subject to change.</b><p>
