Overview
Each year, SFAs are required to conduct monitoring visits of each school meal service site to do a self-assessment of the counting, claiming and general areas to ensure program integrity and accountability.
On-site monitoring is required for all School Food Authorities (SFAs) with more than one school site operating the National School Lunch Program (NSLP), the School Breakfast Program (SBP), and the Seamless Summer Option (SSO). It is also required for all SFAs operating the Afterschool Snack Program (ASP), regardless of only operating at one site.
On-site Monitoring Forms
National School Lunch Program (NSLP)
This form must be completed annually for all sites operating NSLP.
School Breakfast Program (SBP)
This form must be completed annually for 50% of sites operating SBP. Each school operating the SBP must be reviewed once every two years.
Afterschool Snack Program (ASP)
Unlike the NSLP, the ASP requires on-site monitoring twice per year. This form must be completed for all sites operating the ASP. For more information on the ASP on-site monitoring requirements, visit the ASP webpage.
Seamless Summer Option (SSO)
For sites operating SSO, this form must be completed annually for all sites serving lunch and 50% of sites serving breakfast. For more information on the SSO on-site monitoring requirements, visit the SSO webpage.
