Recommendations

Direct the State agency to review whether the SFSP sponsors received $307 for reimbursements that should have been disallowed during State agency site reviews in 2016. The State agency should recover any reimbursements paid to sponsors, as applicable.

Advise the State agency of the best practice to strengthen its oversight of SFSP sites for which State agency reviewers have required the corrective action of lower meal service levels, such as tracking the specific sites where reviewers have required maximum meal service levels to be lowered and requiring justifications from sponsors or sites that request to raise them again.

Request the State agency to consider taking additional actions to ensure that SFSP sponsors make it clearer to the public that meals at their sites are available to all children residing in the area.

Direct the State agency to improve monitoring for “And Justice for All” poster display by ensuring that all questions are answered on the site review tool.
