Identifying Number: 2025-002 Audit Finding: Per the U.S. Department of Agriculture at 7 CFR 226.16(d)(4) and the Missouri Department of Health and Human Services, sponsoring organizations must conduct three monitoring review visits for each of their facilities and no more than six months may lapse between monitoring visits for CACFP compliance. At least two of the three reviews must be unannounced. If a violation occurs during the visit, the sponsor must follow up with the facilities noted as having problems, and the follow-up visit must be conducted no less than one week after the initial finding, and the visit must be documented. Kansas City Public Schools did not perform the required three site visits per year within a six-month timeframe for five of the samples, and the supporting documentation provided for all six samples did not contain the total of participants in attendance during the meal service and the total number of meals claimed during the five consecutive days. Corrective Actions Taken or Planned: The District agrees with the finding. The District will implement and strengthen the following internal controls to ensure that all three required visits are accurately documented using the DHSS Site Visit Report by June 30, 2026: a.

The Marshall Public School District has been working to utilize excess food service funds in an appropriate and timely manner. Recently, these funds supported significant cooler and freezer replacements and repairs, including work already completed in the new kitchen at our Intermediate School. Additional units were repaired or replaced in the fall of 2025. The final remaining capital items include a newly purchased distribution vehicle for mobile meal delivery to sites without kitchens and distribution of commodities delivered to a central site. There will be an additional cooler to be acquired before the end of the 2025 fiscal year for our newly constructed distribution site, as well as other costs at that site for completion of the distribution facility. These purchases support operations in our new distribution building, where commodities are delivered, stored, and distributed from as needed throughout the year. Looking ahead, the district plans to replace movable supplies and equipment throughout the 2025–26 school year. Specifically, we are preparing to add new food service lines with additional points of sale to improve efficiency and decrease wait times, as well as purchase the associated POS licenses. We will also upgrade selected appliances and cabinetry to modernize and improve efficiency in kitchens located in older buildings around the district. In addition, as needed or upon request, we intend to provide further professional development opportunities for our food service staff. Collectively, these actions will ensure that no excess funds remain in the food service account by the end of the current fiscal year.

Finding 2025-003 Name of Responsible Individual: Bryce Durbin, Director of Institutional Research & Registrar Corrective Action Plan: Management agrees with the finding that one student’s Program Begin Date was incorrectly reported to NSLDS. For this new student, the Program Begin Date was reported as 5/14/2021, the date the new student transitioned from admissions to registration, rather than the actual first day of the academic term in which the student began enrollment in the program, as required by Part 5 of the 2025 Compliance Supplement. Beginning with the 2020 OMB Compliance Supplement, enrollment reporting requirements were expanded to include additional compliance data elements for NSLDS. During the 2020-2021 award year, the National Student Clearinghouse (NSC), the College’s third-party servicer for enrollment reporting, encountered program level data integrity issues. In response, new warning codes were introduced in December 2021, including WC 1811 Series, which addresses mismatch flags in Program Begin Date. In this case, however, no warning flag was triggered for the student. The Registrar Office will follow up with NSC to identify why the warning flag did not trigger. Moving forward, Registrar Office staff will review enrollment reporting files to verify that each student’s Program Begin Date reflects the first day of the term in which the program enrollment began, unless the student’s enrollment in the program was on an earlier date.

Finding 2025-002 Name of Responsible Individual: Noemi Sarrion, Director of Financial Aid Corrective Action Plan: Management acknowledges that for one student, the required federal direct loan disbursement notification was not sent within the required timeframe. After the parent’s PLUS loan was denied in April 2025, the student was offered an additional unsubsidized loan, which was accepted on 5/7/2025. The manually generated notification for the 5/8/2025 disbursement was inadvertently missed being sent out. We believe this oversight was an isolated incident due to the OFA’s unusually demanding April/May as noted in the previous finding. To mitigate this issue going forward, the OFA will remove the need for manual intervention by implementing an automated notification process utilizing the built-in scheduler functionality in PowerFAIDS.

Finding 2025-001 Name of Responsible Individual: Noemi Sarrion, Director of Financial Aid Corrective Action Plan: Management agrees with the finding that the estimated Cost of Attendance (COA) for the summer term was calculated incorrectly for five students. Because the summer term includes multiple sessions, the COA multi-step programming process in PowerFAIDS, the College’s financial aid management software, including the review of COA selection metrics, are manual. In April 2025, the College migrated its ERP software and PowerFAIDS to cloud-based platforms. This transaction required significant time from Office of Financial Aid (OFA) staff to test system functionality and validate migrated data to ensure a smooth go-live. As these efforts coincided with summer COA programming, the capacity for thorough review and comprehensive functional testing of summer COA setup was reduced. Going forward, the OFA will assign a staff member, separate from the individual handling COA programming, to review the COA selection metrics. In addition, the OFA will evaluate the potential of automating COA programming processes. Anticipated Completion Date: May 1, 2026

2025-002 – Allowable Costs/Cost Principles – Payroll Charges Auditor Description of Condition and Effect. During our testing of personnel timecards, we noted one instance where the amounts charged to the grant were understated. The wage rate per the employee's personnel file did not agree to the rate used to pay the employee, which resulted in an underpayment to the employee which was subsequently corrected. In another instance, we noted that the District charged payroll expenditures to the food service fund that were related to a different grant. This resulted in an overstatement of costs charged to the child nutrition program. As a result of this condition, the District did not fully comply with the Uniform Guidance applicable to the above noted grants. Auditor Recommendation. We recommend that the District review the process for accumulating and summarizing time to minimize the likelihood of errors in the process. Responsible Person: Kimberly Worden, Business Manager Corrective Action. While the identified payroll errors were very small, to address these issues, the District will implement updated review procedures to ensure accuracy of wage rates and proper grant allocation. Specifically, payroll staff will verify that employee wage rates used for grant charges agree to the rates documented in personnel files prior to processing payments. Additionally, the District will establish a secondary review process to confirm that payroll expenditures are charged to the correct grant or program before posting. Training will be provided to all payroll and grant management personnel on proper coding and documentation requirements. Anticipated Completion Date: June 30, 2026
