Now Available: List of School Food Authorities (SFAs) Receiving an Administrative Review in 2020-21
The list of School Food Authorities (SFAs) receiving a School Nutrition Program Administrative Review in the 2020-21 school year has been posted. Some SFAs that were scheduled to receive an administrative review in the spring of 2020 were delayed to school year 2020-21 due to COVID-19 and are indicated at the end of the list with an asterisk.
SFAs receiving a review in the 2020-21 school year will receive an email with a link to a survey in late August. Once the survey is completed (one response per SFA), your assigned reviewer will contact you to set up the dates of the review.
Several 10-minute training videos and other resources to assist SFAs in preparing for the administrative review are available on the MDE website.
