Condition: The District's supporting documentation for any students who filled out an online application was not properly maintained. Criteria: Districts are required to maintain supporting documentation (typically, applications) for all students who submit applications for free or reduced meals. Cause: District staff did not properly maintain applications on file. Effect: The auditors were unable to verify whether students were correctly classified as to free/reduced/paid due to the District not maintaining the support behind each online application. Improper categorization of students would affect the reimbursements received by the District under the Child Nutrition Cluster. Recommendation: We recommend the District review its procedures for maintaining supporting documentation year over year. Corrective Action Plan: The District will print and save copies of all online applications to enhance record retention. 14
