Sponsors must ensure that they meet the minimum monitoring requirements. Sponsors must visit all new SFSP (does not include sites used for Unanticipated School Closure SFSP), RNC and problem sites prior to operation and complete the Pre-Operational Visit Form for each. The purpose of this type of pre-operational visit is to determine that the site(s) have the appropriate facilities and, if possible, to meet with the site personnel.
All sponsors are required to conduct Initial Site Visits of all sites within the first two weeks of operation.
All sponsors must conduct a thorough review of all sites at least once during the first four weeks of program operations. The sponsor must complete the Monitor Site Review Form for each site reviewed. If a site operates for less than four weeks, the Monitor Site Review must be completed prior to the site's closure.
Sponsors may conduct the Initial Site Visit and the Monitor Site Review at the same time within the first two weeks of operation.
Regulations require monitoring continue through the length of SFSP participation at a level sufficient to ensure that sites comply with program regulations. Sponsors must be able to document these monitoring requirements are met regardless of the length of time a site operates.
MDE has developed a monitor tracking tool. This is an optional form that can be used by sponsors to plan for and keep track of all reviews that are required by the SFSP.
