To address the issue of meal counts not being properly taken and recorded at the point of service, SCO Family of Services is reinforcing internal controls in accordance with 7 CFR 210.8 to ensure the accuracy of meal counts prior to submitting monthly claims for reimbursement. Staff involved in meal service have received refresher training on proper point-of-service meal counting procedures, and supervisors will continue to conduct routine monitoring to verify compliance. These steps will help ensure that all meal counts are accurately recorded in real-time, supporting the integrity of reimbursement claims. To ensure accountability, the agency is currently in the process of recruting a full-time Food Service Director who will have oversight over the Child Nutrition Porgram and will be responsible for continued compliance, staff training, on-site reviews, and all documentation required by both state and federal regulations. While we will recruit to fill this poistion, an interim Food Service Director will be appointed. Our PQI department will continue to support and monitor activities as well. Proposed Implementation Date: Immediately
