TDA has posted to SquareMeals.org an updated Section 10000, Serious Deficiency, of the CACFP Handbook. TDA consolidated content from all four current CACFP Handbooks (Child Care Center, Day Care Homes, Adult Day Care, and At-Risk). This section is now identical in all four handbooks.
Additional updates include:
-- Added new clarification about written notification procedures, specifically that Contracting Entities will be notified by email throughout the SD process if all responsible parties have email addresses within TX-UNPS. Consolidated redundant information about this topic into a new section.
-- Clarified that a sponsor’s disqualification does not necessarily exempt that sponsor’s sites from being placed in the serious deficiency process if TDA determines that the site’s egregious issues were not the result of lack of training or oversight by that sponsor.
-- Added the online link to request to be removed from the National Disqualified List.
