Audit: RB schools took too big a food bite - The Daily Breeze


Audit: RB schools took too big a food bite - The Daily Breeze:

"An investigation into Redondo Beach Unified School District's nutrition services department has revealed inflated meal counts and negligent record keeping, both of which could result in overpayment of taxpayer funds to the district.

An anonymous complaint filed in May tipped off investigators from the California Department of Education to potential violations, and a subsequent audit of campus food service programs validated the complaint, state education officials said.

Among the schools that investigators visited were Lincoln Elementary, Adams Middle School, Alta Vista Child Development Center and Redondo Union High School."
