14 Child Nutrition Administrative Review (AR) The AR is mandated by the USDA and is a program evaluation process designed to ensure that districts comply with National School Lunch Program (NSLP), School Breakfast Program (SBP), and other School Nutrition Program requirements. Reviews compliance with non-financial and financial requirements. Results of our Latest AR ( ) No Findings Everything in Good Standing 14

15 Child Nutrition Other Audits & Reviews District Audits (including the Child Nutrition Dept.) - Christy White Associates CDE review of reimbursement claims, unaudited actuals & inventory balances CDE Base Year Review School Year (re-authorization of BPSD S free breakfast program) Orange County Heath Care Agency twice a year (every school site) (Routine inspections of kitchens, cafeterias and surrounding areas to ensure compliance with California retail food code.) 15

17 Challenges Ongoing challenges to keep expenditures in check o Increasing food cost with no significant increase in reimbursement Meal Standards Compliance (negatively affects taste) Student/Parent/Staff perceptions given compliance to standards Food doesn t taste good What's nutritious may not appear to be nutritious CDE Paid Lunch Equity (meal price waver) CDE No Bad Debt Policy (Collections) Waste, students taking food from salad bars and not eating it. 17

18 Meeting the Challenge: Nutrition/Taste Smarter Lunch Room Movement: o Expand nutrition education. o Promote consumption of fruits and vegetables. o Increase the visibility and availability of healthy food choices. o Enhance the lunchroom environment. Interactive menu with nutritional information (launch ) Provide food choices that enhance taste expectations o Food fair scheduled April 22, 2017 (Students/parents to be provided an opportunity to taste a variety of different food items and provide input as to what to include on the menu) Continue to adjust menus to ensure meal standards compliance while enhancing appearance & taste of offerings. 18

19 Meeting the Challenge: Financial Continue pursuit of revenue enhancement strategies (such as expanded catering offerings) Continue work with consortium (co-op) to mitigate increases in food costs Continue to supplement food purchases with Federal entitlements Keep hours under control. 19

20 Question from a Board Member: How Can We Help?
