Condition: At June 30, 2024 net cash resources in the School Lunch Fund exceeded the allowable limit by $235,507. Cause: Revenues including interfund transfers from the General Fund, exceeded expenditures by $10,791 in the School Lunch Fund for the year ended June 30, 2024.

Furthermore, supply chain issues have compounded the School District’s ability to spend down excess funds, with the School District's encumbrances in the School Lunch Fund totaling $309,680 at June 30, 2024. Repeat Finding: This finding is a repeat of Finding 2023-001 from the prior year.
