Almost the entire proposed meal-program revenue budget rests on one line: Seguin ISD counts about 94 cents of every dollar as federal.
The October proposal lists $7.23 million in federal revenue out of $7.67 million in total child-nutrition revenue, or 94.3% by Guadalupe.News’ calculation. For students and families, the figures describe how Seguin ISD plans to finance its meal program. They are proposed budget amounts, not a report of meals served or money collected.
How much of the meal budget relies on federal revenue?
The October proposal lists $380,500 in local revenue and $55,500 in state revenue. Together, those two lines account for $436,000 of the $7.67 million plan; the federal line accounts for the rest. The amendment’s increase/decrease column shows no change to any child-nutrition revenue line. That column describes the proposed amendment, not a change in actual receipts.

|---|---|
| Federal | $7,234,000 |

What the spending plan covers
The proposed $7.67 million in child-nutrition spending equals its projected revenue. The October proposal budgets $7.64 million for food service, $19,500 for plant maintenance and $7,000 for security. Those categories show where the plan assigns spending; the matching totals do not establish that collections and costs will match in practice.
