Administrative Reviews
Additional Administrative Reviews (AAR)
The Michigan Department of Education is required by Section 126 of the Child Nutrition and WIC Reauthorization Act of 2004 (Pub. L. 108-265) amended Section 22 of the Richard B. Russell National School Lunch Act, and Section 7 of the Child Nutrition Act of 1966, to conduct Additional Administrative Reviews (AAR) of selected Local Educational Agencies (LEA). The AAR includes a comprehensive on-site evaluation of the LEA to ensure compliance with National School Lunch Program (NSLP) regulations.
The scope of the review is established by the statute to include application, certification, verification, meal counting, and meal claiming procedures. These are areas covered by Coordinated Review Effort (CRE) Performance Standard 1 (PS 1) and the verification component of the General Areas of Review.
