Finding Text

2022-004 Child Nutrition Free and Reduced Price Applications and Verification Condition:The list of eligible free and reduced students, child nutrition free and reduced price applications and the verifications were not available for the 2021-2022 school to perform the compliance testing due to the food service director retiring at year end and the documents could not be found. Therefore, we were unable to test the eligibility of the free and reduced students. Criteria: The District must keep on file the free and reduced applications for all households. The District must also keep the verifications of the current free and reduced price eligibility of the households selected for verification. Cause: The new food service director could not find the retired food service director?s list of eligible free and reduced students, child nutrition free and reduced price applications and the verifications. The new food service director also reached out to the retired food service director to help find the required documentation, but could not get a response. Effect: Since the documents were not found we were unable to perform the necessary testing of the program. Recommendations: The District should discuss the importance of these documents with the appropriate employees. There should also be a policy in place to keep all important documents and to scan any documents. Management Views and Corrective Action Plan: See corrective action plan 2022-004.
