This dual-review process will service as a verificaiton measure to prevent omissions and ensure the benefit issuance document remains current and accurate. In August 2025, both the Child Nutrition Director and Secretary completed formal training on eligibility determination procedures. Moving forward, detailed notes- including dates and explanations of status changes- will be documented in each student's account to ensure clear tracking of all updates to support accurate recordkeeping for future reviews.
