11 Successful Corrective Action  Timely  Pay attention to deadline - usually 30 days  Completely and permanently corrects finding  Demonstrate viability, capability and accountability

12 Successful Corrective Action  Successful Corrective Action Plan (CAP):  States the finding/problem  Details procedures to address problem Includes who, what, when, and where  Specifies personnel who will implement procedure  Describes how procedures will be implemented  Provides a timeline for implementation  States where CAP documentation will be saved

13 State the Problem  What was the finding?  Use the wording and/or number from the administrative review findings letter  Not a time for excuses  Example: “Finding 1A: Meal counts were not being taken at the point of service. The number of meals prepared was being recorded as the meal count.”

14 Detail the Procedures  What will you do to comply with CACFP requirements?  Be specific and detailed  Include when the procedures will be used  Specify who will be using the procedures

15 Detail the Procedures  Example: “Corrective Action Plan 1A: The lead teacher in each classroom will use the CACFP Point-of-Service Form to record meal counts at the point of service. The form will be prepared each Monday morning with the dates for the week and the names of the children in the classroom. Names will be added if new children enroll or move into the class. After the children are seated and receive a complete meal, including milk at breakfast and lunch, the lead teacher will mark an “X” in the column for the meal (breakfast, lunch, or snack) by the name of each child who is eating. Children who are present but not eating a complete meal provided by the center will be marked with an “O.” If a child is absent, the box will be left blank.”

16 Specify the Personnel  Who is in charge?  State who will implement, monitor and enforce the new procedure  Example: “The director, Ms. Smith, has trained the lead teachers on using the new form. She will collect the Point-of-Service forms from each classroom on Friday afternoons after PM snack. She will check the forms to make sure they are filled out correctly. She will double check the totals from each room for each week, then add them up for each month. This will be reported on the claim. Ms. Smith will also observe the meal count procedures in each room at least once per month.”

17 Describe Implementation  How will staff or parents know about the new procedure?  Training  Handbook  Website  Personal assistance  Example: “The director, Ms. Smith, has trained the lead teachers on using the new form. The procedures will be filed in the CACFP Procedures binder.”

18 Provide a Timeline  When is the procedure being implemented?  Be specific – provide dates  Be reasonable  Example: “The training was held on Friday, June 1 st during a staff development day. Teachers were given the Point of Service Form to begin using on Monday, June 4 th.”

19 State Where the CAP is Saved  Where will you keep the CAP on file?  Administrative review documents and responses should be saved with current FY records.  Policies and procedures should not be lost when staff leave or after 3 fiscal years.  Example: “The CAP will be filed with the administrative review findings letter in the CACFP FY12 binder. The meal count procedures and the Point of Service Form will be saved in the CACFP computer file and in the CACFP Procedures binder.”

20 Implement the CAP  Follow the stated procedures and implementation plan  Submit supporting documentation to prove that the plan was implemented  Ex. Income Eligibility Statements to show correct classifications  Ex. Master Enrollment List to show correct maintenance  Ex. Menus that comply with meal pattern  Ex. Training documentation to prove staff were trained
