Finding Details

Condition: At June 30, 2022, net cash resources in the school lunch fund exceeded the allowable limit cash by $58,879. Criteria: The school food authority shall limit its net cash resources to an amount that does not exceed 3 months average expenditures for its school lunch fund or such other amount as may be approved by the New York State agency in accordance with ?210.19(a). Cause: The School Lunch Fund continued to have revenues in excess of expenses for the 2021-2022 fiscal year creating excess cash resources in the Fund. Effect: The School District is not in compliance with 7 CFR ?210.19(a). Repeat Finding: The finding is a repeat of finding 2021-001 from the prior year. Recommendation: We recommend the School District review its net cash resources in the School Lunch Fund and develop a plan to reduce them to an allowable amount. Response/Board Action: Due to the Pandemic, the operations of the School Lunch Fund were significantly altered. These changes included lower cost alternatives, staffing changes and other changes that contributed to an operating surplus in the current year. That surplus is anticipated to be utilized in the subsequent year to further benefit the program.
