Finding Details

Finding 2025-001
Condition: During our audit, we requested supporting documentation for the meal counts done by the Charter School and reported to MDE. We encountered the following: In the two months tested, the amounts reported did not agree to the meal count tracking done by the school for breakfast or lunch. Criteria: Charter Schools are required to count meals at point-of-service at all school sites and claim them in CLiCS in the category of approval based on direct certification or a household application for educational benefits. The Charter School was unable to provide supporting documentation to affirm that accurate meal counts were submitted to CLiCS. Cause: Unknown Recommendation: We recommend the Charter School devise a well-documented counting system to track meals daily and retain documentation for support. With this, we also recommend that a monthly review of these meal counts is done prior to submission to CLiCS to ensure accuracy between meal counts tracked and submissions. Management Response: Hope Community Academy staff members will ensure that meal counts are taking place daily, being documented accordingly, and being reported appropriately.
