Condition: The School District did not complete an on-site monitoring review for one building operating a school lunch program during the year ended June 30, 2024. Corrective Steps Taken: At this time, there have been some corrective steps taken to limit this from happening again which includes the Food Service Director better familiarizing herself with MDE’s requirements for on-site reviews. Corrective Steps to be Taken: The Food Service Director will coordinate the on-site monitoring reviews and its completion to Michigan Department of Education requirements. Monitoring: The plan for monitoring adherence is for the Superintendent to check in with he Food Service Director prior to the February 1st deadline to ensure all required on-site reviews were performed.

Condition: The School District does not currently have a control in place whereby a review of the meal counts entered into the Michigan Nutrition Data (MiND) system takes place, which could result in an incorrect reporting of the number of free and reduced priced meals, which could result in the School District being reimbursed an incorrect amount by the Michigan Department of Education. Planned Corrective Action: The Business Office has implemented a formalized internal control procedure for the Food Service Department to adhere, alongside performing a thorough review of the monthly claims reimbursement submission. The formalized internal control procedure will accompany the supporting documentation submitted to the Business Office monthly (Attachment A). The procedure involves a review of inputted meal counts, prior to the claim submission. The Food Service Department Administrator responsible for meal claim input will provide corroboration of input accuracy, as documented by signoff from a secondary reviewer. In addition, the Business Office has prepared a Meal Claim Check Tool spreadsheet to utilize, on a monthly basis, as another layer of validation. The Meal Claim Check Tool spreadsheet allows the Business Office to input meal count figures from the Food Service POS system report and compare against the figures from the claims submission report. Any discrepancy identified would be immediately addressed with the Food Service Department and would require an amended claim submission.

FINDING 2023-002 Finding Subject: Child Nutrition Cluster – Eligibility Summary of Finding: For one of 40 students receiving free or reduced priced lunches, the eligibility determination was incorrect.

Finding Number 2023-041 Subject Heading (Financial) or AL no. and program name (Federal) AL #84.425 – EDUCATION STABILIZATION FUND (ESF – 84.425V) Planned Corrective Action The Office of Title Services (OTS) used the limited federal guidance available at the time to manage the Emergency Assistance to Nonpublic Schools (EANS) funds. Due to limited guidance from the US Department of Education (USDE), OSDE allocated ARP EANS funding consistent with CRRSA EANS. After funds were allocated, USDE provided guidance on the allocation of ARP EANS funding using actual low income poverty data. In the fall of 2024, the Office of Title Services (OTS) provided documentation and adjusting journal entries to reallocate ineligible funds from ARP EANS to unspent CRSA EANS. This adjustment transferred the unallowable expenditures originally charged to ARP EANS to unspent funds under CRRSA EANS. All funds were obligated during the applicable period of availability. The United States Department of Education accepted evidence of this corrective action in an email received by OTS staff on February 5, 2025. A copy of this email was sent to the Oklahoma State Auditor and Inspector’s Office on Monday, May 19th, 2025. OSDE agrees with that low-income data used for EANS allocation was different than the low-income data used for Title I allocations. OSDE used Lowincome counts based upon data provided by nonpublic schools. The Office of Title Services (OTS) used the limited federal guidance available at the time to manage the Emergency Assistance to Nonpublic Schools (EANS) funds. EANS Proportionality In the fall of 2024, the Office of Title Services (OTS) provided documentation and adjusting journal entries to re-allocate ineligible funds from ARP EANS to unspent CRSA EANS. This adjustment transferred the unallowable expenditures originally charged to ARP EANS to unspent funds under CRRSA EANS. All funds were obligated during the applicable period of availability. The United States Department of Education accepted evidence of this corrective action in an email received by OTS staff on February 5, 2025. A copy of this email was sent to the Oklahoma State Auditor and Inspector’s Office on Monday, May 19th, 2025. As a result, these expenditures were allowable and did not result in questioned costs. EANS Low-Income If low-income data for nonpublic school participants is necessary to determine eligibility, then OTS will create a written procedure to collect and verify the data. Anticipated Completion Date August 2025 Responsible Contact Person Amber Polach

Finding Number 2023-038 Subject Heading (Financial) or AL no. and program name (Federal) CN CLUSTER – SCHOOL BREAKFAST PROGRAM; NATIONAL SCHOOL LUNCH PROGRAM, SPECIAL MILK PROGRAM FOR CHILDREN, FRESH FRUITS AND VEGETABLES PROGRAM AL #10.553, 10.555; 10.556; 10.559; 10.582 Planned Corrective Action Additional training of field-based staff will take place covering the areas of the SFSP review to ensure that meal counts and claim numbers are correct. A SFSP review will not be conducted prior to a claim being filed unless the SFSP program ends prior to a claim being filed. USDA guidance “encourages” a claim review to be conducted when an SFSP review is being conducted. If a sponsor operates for a month or less the review must take place while the program is operating therefore a claim would not be able to be validated.

During our Mississippi Department of Education (MDE) Administrative Review, auditors provided technical assistance on using the Edit Check Report in Mosaic to avoid underreporting or overreporting meals. Since that review, we have implemented the use of the Edit Check Report to enter reimbursable meals in the MARS system instead of the Claim Report. This change improves the accuracy of meal counts and reimbursement claims. Additionally, we will establish a formal review process whereby a second staff member verifies montly claims before submission to further ensure accuracy and compliance.
