National School Lunch Program On-Site Monitoring Checklist - Arizona Department Of Education

NATIONAL SCHOOL LUNCH PROGRAM ON-SITE MONITORING CHECKLIST

According to 7 CFR 210.8(a)(1), every school year, prior to February 1, each School Food Authority

(SFA) with more than one school (as defined 7 CFR Part 210.2 to include Residential Child Care

Institutions (RCCIs)) must perform no less than one on-site review of the lunch counting and claiming

system and the readily observable general areas of review identified under 7 CFR 210.18(h) in each school

operating the National School Lunch Program (NSLP) and 50% of schools operating the School Breakfast

Program (SBP) under its jurisdiction.

Each on-site review must ensure the school’s claim is based on the counting system, as implemented, and

yields the actual number of reimbursable free, reduced price, and paid lunches, respectively, served for

each day of operation.

If the review discloses problems with a school’s meal counting or claiming procedures, the SFA must

ensure that the school implements corrective action, and within 45 days of the review conduct a follow-up

on-site review to determine that the corrective action resolved the problems.
