On-Site Monitoring:

Does your school or agency have more than one serving site?  If so, circle your calendar for February 1st.  For each school food authority that has more than one lunch program serving site, it is a program requirement to perform an on-site review of each serving location to ensure the accuracy of meal counts and daily procedures each year by February 1st.  At the present time on-site monitoring is not a breakfast program requirement but is encouraged as a good business practice.

 

 

Authorized representative should refer to NSLP Memo number 52 for the instructions and worksheet to be used for each serving site visit.  If the review discloses any problems with a school’s meal counting or claiming procedure, the SFA shall ensure that the school will implement corrective action.  If corrective action is needed, the SFA is required to conduct a follow-up review within 45 days of the first review to determine that the corrective action resolved the problems.  The on-site monitoring review worksheet needs to be kept on file for the program year.  During a Coordinated Review Effort (CRE) review the worksheets will be verified for completion.
