Finding Text
7 Code of Federal Regulations (CFR) 210.19(a)(2) states “In the event that net cash resources exceed 3 months’ average expenditures for the school food authority’s nonprofit school food service or such other amount as may be approved in accordance with this paragraph, the State agency may require the school food authority to reduce the price children are charged for lunches, improve food quality or take other action designed to improve the nonprofit school food service. In the absence of any such action, the State agency shall make adjustments in the rate of reimbursement under the Program." We noted the Food Service program had excess revenues over expenditures in total for the fiscal year ending June 30, 2024. The issue appears systemic as the excess revenue was significant.
