Finding 2025-001 Material Weakness in Internal Control over Compliance and Other Matters, and Material Noncompliance Corrective Action Plan: The observed finding was the result of inadequate staff training on the proper School Nutrition Procurement (SNP) guidelines. Newly responsible staff have attended multiple training sessions and are now fully aware of proper SNP procurement procedures. Stricter internal controls are being implemented to prevent recurrence and regular planning and forecast meetings will be held with the school nutrition team. Moving forward, The Sr Director of Purchasing and Materials Management will ensure purchases will be forecast and an analysis completed yearly. For all estimated purchases of $50,000 or more in Child Nutrition Programs, new Requests for Proposals (RFPs) will be created, or purchases will be made through a USDA-approved purchasing cooperative RFP, as applicable. New RFPswill be developed after reviewing cost estimates, product requirements, and specifications, in accordance with the approved formal procurement guidelines found in 2 CFR 200.320(b), 7 CFR Part 210.19(e), and Section 17 of the NSLP Administrator’s Reference Manual (ARM). The resulting contract awards will be annual with optional renewals and contracts will be managed and records retained per Sections 16 and 30 of the NSLP ARM to ensure compliance. Responsible Officials: Leander ISD Management Anticipated Date of Completion: November 2025
