Notes to SEFA

The accompanying Schedule of Expenditures of Federal Awards (“the Schedule”) includes the federal grant activity of Mesick Schools under programs of the federal government for the year ended June 30, 2023. The information in this Schedule is presented in accordance with the requirements of Title 2 U.S. Code of Federal Regulations Part 200, Uniform Administrative Requirements, Cost Principles, and Audit Requirements for Federal Awards (the “Uniform Guidance”). Because the Schedule presents only a selected portion of the operations of Mesick consolidated schools, it is not intended to and does not present the financial position, changes in net position, or cash flows of Mesick consolidated schools.
Expenditures reported on the Schedule are reported on the modified accrual basis of accounting. Such expenditures are recognized following the cost principles contained in the Uniform Guidance, wherein certain types of expenditures are not allowable or are limited as to reimbursement. Negative amounts (if any) shown on the schedule represent adjustments or credits made in the normal course of business to amounts reported as expenditures in prior years. Pass through entity identifying numbers are presented where available. Mesick consolidated schools has elected not to use the 10 percent de minimis indirect cost rate allowed under the Uniform Guidance.
Management has utilized the NexSys Cash Management System and the Grant Auditor Report in preparing the schedule of expenditures of federal awards. The District does not pass-through federal funds to sub recipients.

Finding Details

2025-001 Significant Deficiency in Internal Control (Reporting) Federal Program: Child Nutrition Cluster Assistance Listing Numbers: 10.553, 10.555, 10.559 Federal Agency: U.S. Department of Education Pass-Through Entity: Michigan Department of Education Pass-Through Number: 241970, 251970, 241960, 251960, 240900, 250900 & Entitlement Commodities Federal Award Year: July 1, 2024 to September 30, 2025 Criteria: In accordance with OMB requirements, the District can only request funds for meal reimbursements based on total meals served, no more or no less. Condition: The School District had one month of meal claims under the summer food service program where the supporting documentation did not agree with the meal claim. Cause: The School District failed to have controls in place that would prevent, detect, or correct an incorrect monthly meal claim. Effect: The School District’s internal controls were found to be ineffective as they claimed less meals than they should have, resulting in less revenue for the District. Questioned Costs: No questioned costs as the District did not claim more meals than they were supposed to during the year. Perspective Information: The finding appears to be an isolated instance. No sampling was necessary to determine this finding. Identification of Repeat Findings: None Recommendation: The School District should have an additional level of review as it relates to submitting meal claims to ensure the correct amount is submitted based on the supporting documentation. View of Responsible Officials: Per discussion with Jack Ledford, Food Service Director, and Katrina Bontekoe, Business Manager on August 8, 2025, the District recognized this one time issue and is implementing additional procedures to ensure that funds requested for meal reimbursements agree to total meals served.
