Module: Risk Assessment for Resource Management Intent/Scope of Monitoring The intent and scope of monitoring in this section is to apply a systematic approach to ensuring the overall financial health of an SFA’s nonprofit school food service. This Section consists of a review of four areas integral to the financial health of the SFA’s school food service. The SA may always supplement the review activity to include additional areas. The monitoring areas are: Maintenance of the Nonprofit School Food Service Account The SA must ensure that revenues and expenses* under the nonprofit school food service account are in accordance with 7 CFR 210.14. The nonprofit school food service expenses must be allowable — used only for the operation and improvement of the school food service — and net cash resources may not exceed three months' average operating expenses. (7 CFR 210.14) Note: In assessing compliance with the Net Cash Resource’s provision we have chosen to use the word “expenditure” to be consistent with the regulations. In all other areas of the Resource Management Section we have chosen to use “expenses”. Paid Lunch Equity The SA must ensure that SFAs comply with the requirements for pricing paid lunches. (7 CFR 210.14(e)) Revenue from Nonprogram Foods The SA must ensure that SFAs comply with the requirements that revenues from the sale of nonprogram foods generate at least the same proportion of total school food service account revenues that expenses from the purchase of nonprogram foods contribute to total school food service account food costs.
1006) How does the public know about the results of the most recent assessment on the implementation of the Local School Wellness Policy? Please provide a copy of the documentation necessary to support your response or appropriate Web site URL. The assessment must be made available to the public. How the assessment is made available is at local discretion. The SA must determine the manner in which the public is made aware of the most recent assessment on the implementation of the Local School Wellness Policy. Technical Assistance/Corrective Action The SA must deem an SFA compliant with the Local School Wellness Policy Module if the requirements of the review are met, as described above. Deficiencies identified within the Module’s review element must result in a noncompliant Local School Wellness Policy evaluation. Deficiencies must be addressed through documented corrective action. Corrective action is considered appropriate and sufficient when the action permanently corrects the deficiencies and brings the Local School Wellness Policy into compliance with the Module’s requirements. Note: Until the issuance of further implementation guidance and/or the publication of the Local School Wellness Policy final rule, Local School Wellness Policy noncompliance must be addressed through technical assistance only. The only exceptions are the absence of a Local School Wellness Policy or the absence of required content (previously required in 2004), which must be addressed through corrective action. The SA must record all deficiencies on the On-site Assessment Tool in the applicable comments section. Technical assistance and corrective action to correct identified deficiencies must be included in the Corrective Action Plan provided at the exit conference.
61 to 80 8 81 to 100 10 101 or more 12* * Twelve plus 5 percent of the number of schools over 100. Fractions must be rounded to the nearest whole number. For example: Twenty schools within XYZ SFA are selected for an NSLP Administrative Review. Of the 20 schools selected, 7 also operate the FFVP. Using that information in concert with the above chart, the SA would review two of the seven FFVP schools also selected for an NSLP Administrative Review. Note: FFVP school selection is determined by the NSLP schools selected for review and occurs after the NSLP school selection process has been completed. NSLP schools selected for review are either: chosen automatically under the requirements of 7 CFR 210.18(e)(1) and (e)(2)(i); chosen according to SA discretionary criteria under 7 CFR 210.18(e)(2)(ii); or a combination of the two. When none of the schools selected for an NSLP Administrative Review operate the FFVP, but the FFVP operates elsewhere within the SFA, the State agency must follow the procedures below to ensure that at least one FFVP school is reviewed during an NSLP Administrative Review. When the NSLP schools selected for review are comprised solely of schools chosen automatically under the requirements of 7 CFR 210.18(e)(1) and (e)(2)(i), the SA will have to review the FFVP at a school that is not receiving an Administrative Review. FFVP is the only program that would need to be reviewed at this additional school. When the NSLP schools selected for review are comprised solely of schools chosen according to SA discretionary criteria under 7 CFR 210.18(e)(2)(ii), the SA will have to replace one of the schools selected for an Administrative Review with a school that has similar characteristics that operates the FFVP. If that is not possible, use the process identified in no. 1 above. When the NSLP schools selected for review are comprised of schools chosen both automatically under the requirements of 7 CFR 210.18(e)(1) and (e)(2)(i) and
For Example: 210 students certified by SA for free meals ÷ 250 students certified by SFA for free meals 0.840 certification and benefit issuance adjustment factor for free meals Adjustment Factor for Reduced-Price Meals — The certification and benefit issuance adjustment factor for reduced-price meals is automatically calculated and recorded on the Fiscal Action Workbook (Block 9C). Number of students certified by the SA to be eligible for reduced-price meals ÷ Number of students certified by the SFA to be eligible for reduced-price meals = Certification and benefit issuance adjustment factor for reduced-price meals For Example: 75 students certified by SA for reduced meals ÷ 85 students certified by SFA for reduced meals 0.882 certification and benefit issuance adjustment factor for reduced-price meals Step 4: Determine the correct count of reimbursable meals at the reviewed school(s) The purpose of Step 4 is to determine the total number of reimbursable meals at each site. To obtain the total number of allowable reimbursable meals, the SA must enter the uncorrected meal counts on the Fiscal Action Workbook, Block 4. (See S-1, lines 21 for day of review and 22 for review period) These counts are then adjusted, by type, to reflect errors in consolidation. In addition, the SA must decrease the site’s total meal count to reflect the number of meals claimed for reimbursement, e.g., meals that do not meet meal pattern requirements, meals served to adults or ineligible children, or second meals. Note: SFAs may not claim second meals in the NSLP; however, the SFA may claim second meals in the SBP as long as the SFA does not plan and produce meals with the intention of claiming second meals. Consolidation Errors— The SA must determine whether any consolidation errors occurred at the reviewed school. Refer to Section II: Meal Access and Reimbursement, Module: Meal Counting and Claiming, for more information. The SA must adjust the number of meals, by
