District says ISBE nutrition site review found record-keeping problems; administration to fix procedures
Summary
Dr. Gordon told the board an ISBE site review of school nutrition (Feb. 11, 2025) did not go well and identified procedure and record-keeping deficiencies; the administration said staff are working to make necessary changes.
Dr. Gordon reported that the Illinois State Board of Education conducted a school nutrition site review on Feb. 11, 2025 — the first on-site audit since 2016 — and that the audit identified procedural and record-keeping shortcomings. "The audit did not go particularly well," Dr. Gordon said, and he described the district's response as focused on correcting procedures and improving records. He praised Ronda Bryant and the office team for work to address the findings.
Administration said it wants to follow required procedures and complete record-keeping tasks but noted uncertainty about consistent guidance in the period since ISBE's last on-site audit. The district plans corrective steps, and administration described progress as being on the right track.
