2024-003 – Eligibility. Auditor Description of Condition and Effect. In our sample of 40 applications from all students receiving free or reduced cost meals during the year, we noted one instance in which the point of sale (POS) system used by the District classified a student to be free, however, application reviewed by the District indicated ineligible to receive free and reduce meal. The student received free-price meals during the 2024 school year. As a result of this condition, the District granted free lunch to a student that did not meet the eligibility requirements. Auditor Recommendation. The district should perform a review of the POS system to match with the application to ensure only eligible students are provided with free and reduced meal. Responsible Person: Scott Leach, Superintendent and Crystal Lee, Food Service Director.Corrective Action. Management concurs with the finding. The district has already put in multiple checks and procedures for food service. The Point of Sale now has custom reports to help make sure students are in the Point-of-Sale system correctly. The Eligibility listing will be verified multiple times throughout the year. The district has set up weekly meetings with the Food Service Director, Superintendent Administrative Assistant, and the Business Manager. Anticipated Completion Date: June 30, 2025.
