Criteria: According to 2 CFR Section 180.300, when a non-federal entity enters into a covered transaction with an entity at a lower tier, the non-federal entity must verify that the entity is not suspended, debarred or otherwise excluded. Condition: The District had transactions in excess of $25,000 with one vendor in which they did not verify that the entity is not suspended, debarred or otherwise excluded. Questioned Costs: None. Context: Payments to the vendor totaled $46,229 for the year ended June 30, 2023. Effect: The District was at risk of making material payments to a vendor who is not allowed to do business with the federal government. There was no noncompliance, but there was no internal control in place to prevent noncompliance. Cause: The District was no aware of this requirement. Recommendation: We recommend the District check the Excluded Parties List System or collect certifications from the entity for any vendor in which the District expects to spend more than $25,000 of federal grant funds for the year. Management's Response: We were not aware of this requirement, but we will ensure that we comply going forward.
Criteria: Prior to December 15 of each year, the school must verify the current free and reduced price eligibility of households selected from a sample of applicants that have already been approved. Applications considered error prone must be slected first for verification. Condition: No verification testing was performed. Applicants were selected, but no income documentation was submitted by the household. Those selected applicants were not designated as being selected for verification, and subsequently were not changed to receiving paid lunches from free or reduced lunches. No error prone applications were marked. One applicant's initial application noted the student qualified for reduced meals, but according to the USDA income guidelines, they actually qualified for free meals. Questioned Costs: None. Context: Expenditures from the Child Nutrition Cluster totaled $153,044 at June 30, 2023. In addition, eligibility for several other grants is based on the number of students eligible for free and reduced breakfasts and lunches. Effect: The District could provide benefits to ineligible children or provide insufficient benefits to eligible children. Cause: The District had ineffective controls in place for the eligibility determination of free and reduced applications. Recommendation: We recommend the District follow USDA guidelines for verification testing and income eligibility guidelines when making eligibility determinations of free and reduced breakfasts and lunches. Management's Response: The District will ensure the Food Service Director is completing the processes accurately and timely going forward.
