State Board of Education\nNutrition and Wellness Programs Division\nAlternate School Food Authority (SFA) Arrangement\nInformation and Sample Agreement\nUnder an Alternate SFA Arrangement, legal and financial authority is officially transferred from one SFA to the other.  The contract between the SFAs must state that SFA #1 is accepting total legal and financial responsibility for the newly incorporated School Food Authority’s (SFA #2’s) meal program(s) at specific sites indicated.  Some examples include paying over-claims as a result of administrative reviews, utilization of USDA Foods and complying with program regulations.  The contract must state that the incorporated School Food Authority (SFA #2) is relinquishing its authority to operate the specified school meal program(s) to SFA #1 at specific sites.\nThe Alternate SFA Arrangement is different than a “School to School Agreement” where an SFA provides meals, serving as a meal vendor for nearby SFAs or schools that it does not control.\nAlternate SFA agreements are valid for no more than one school year, July 1 through June 30, or any part of that time.  Upon approval from the Illinois State Board of Education/ Nutrition and Wellness Programs Division, an Alternate School Food Authority Arrangement allows a School Food Authority to incorporate additional schools (currently in a separate SFA) into its School Food Authority.  This arrangement can be used only for one School Food Authority to transfer to another School Food Authority the administration of the school meal program in one or more  of its schools.\nINSTRUCTIONS FOR COMPLETING ALTERNATE SFA ARRANGEMENT\nSubmission for Approval\nComplete and submit the following:\nAlternate School Food Authority (SFA) Arrangement form with original authorized representative signatures, and\nThe Terms of Agreement to be Considered and/or Negotiated in the Alternate School Food Authority (SFA) Arrangement.\nExtensions and Amendments\nExtensions and amendments to the Arrangement must be submitted in writing and approved by ISBE.  The SFA also must notify ISBE if the Arrangement will not be extended or is terminated before the specified ending date.\nApplication Process\nSFA #1 must submit a Site Application (site questionnaire, participation and participation detail) in the Web-Based Illinois Nutrition System (WINS) for each school for which it has obtained authority.  The Approval Official, Verification Official and Hearing Official required for determining student eligibility applications are reported on the Sponsor Application.\nAdministrative Reviews\nThe number of schools chosen for compliance reviews within an SFA is determined by the total number of schools in the SFA.  Schools added to SFA #1 under this arrangement may be chosen for a compliance review.  SFA #1 accepts responsibility for areas of noncompliance in the additional school(s), including over-claims.\nMandates\nMandates imposed on the additional school(s), such as a mandate to implement a School Breakfast Program and/or Summer Program due to high free and reduced eligibility must be enforced and are the responsibility of SFA #1.\nContact ISBE, Nutrition and Wellness Programs Division, Roxanne Ramage (\u0013 HYPERLINK \"mailto:rramage@isbe.net\" \u0014rramage@isbe.net\u0015) at 800-545-7892 for more information about specific situations.\nNon-discrimination Statement: This explains what to do if you believe you have been treated unfairly.\nIn accordance with Federal civil rights law and U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA) civil rights regulations and policies, the USDA, its Agencies, offices, and employees, and institutions participating in or administering USDA programs are prohibited from discriminating based on race,\ncolor, national origin, sex, disability, age, or reprisal or retaliation for prior civil rights activity in any program or activity conducted or funded by USDA.\nPersons with disabilities who require alternative means of communication for program information (e.g. Braille, larg","cbCaimMXqhl7jgve","https://ap.wps.com/l/cbCaimMXqhl7jgve","doc",89600,"English","# Alternate SFA Arrangement - Information and Sample Agreement\n## Submission for Approval\n## Extensions and Amendments\n## Application Process\n## Administrative Reviews\n## Mandates\n## Non-discrimination Statement","[{\"question\":\"What authority is transferred under an Alternate SFA Arrangement?\",\"answer\":\"Legal and financial authority is officially transferred from one SFA to the other for the specified school meal program(s) at the indicated sites.\"},{\"question\":\"What must the contract between SFAs state?\",\"answer\":\"It must state that SFA #1 accepts total legal and financial responsibility for SFA #2’s meal program(s) at specified sites, and that SFA #2 relinquishes its authority to operate those programs at those sites to SFA #1.\"},{\"question\":\"How long is an Alternate SFA Arrangement valid?\",\"answer\":\"It is valid for no more than one school year, from July 1 through June 30, or any part of that period, and may be extended or terminated only with written submission and ISBE approval.\"}]","Alternate School Food Authority (SFA) Arrangement - Information and Sample Agreement | DOC",1791603266]
