Their primary duties include conducting site visits, reviewing meal service practices, checking documentation, and providing technical assistance to ensure that nutritious meals and snacks are served according to federal guidelines. Monitors play a critical role in maintaining program integrity, preventing fraud, and helping sites improve their meal programs to meet children's and adults' nutritional needs.
