The District failed to perform and submit the required PLE calculation. 10. Questioned Costs: No questioned costs identified. 11. Context: The deficiency represents an isolated instance rather than a systemic problem. This was a one time occurence due to the transition of the program from outsourcing to in-house management. The District did complete the PLE document for FY24 in the Spring 2023. The sample was not statistically valid. 12. Effect: The District may inadvertently charge incorrect meal prices, affecting program equity. 13. Cause: The lack of completion was due to the transition from outsourcing the management of their food service program to moving the management of the program in-house. Due to this transition, the new management was not employed at the time this procedure is typically completed. 14. Recommendation: The District should complete the PLE each year going forward and implement internal controls to ensure the requirement is met. 15. Management's response: See corrective action plan.

Criteria or specific requirement (including statutory, regulatory, or other citation) Per 7 CFR 210.14(e), the District is required to determine the weighted average price of paid lunches, calculate the paid lunch equity (PLE) requirement and if the paid lunch equity calculated is higher than the weighted average price the District has been charging increase the price charged.

The Director of Food Services prepares and submits monthly reimbursement claims to ISBE. These submissions are not reviewed or approved by anyone else. No documented evidence exists of an independent reviewer examining meal claim reports beyond the preparer. 10. Questioned Costs: No questioned costs identified. 11. Context: The internal control deficiency is systemic in the District's process for submitting reimbursement claims. The sample was not statistically valid. 12. Effect: Inaccurate monthly claims reimbursements could be submitted for reimbursement which could lead to potential questioned costs under the award. Without external review, errors or inaccuracies in meal claim reports may go undetected and misreported claims could lead to overpayment or underpayment of federal funds. 13. Cause: The District has not designed and implemented an internal control process to ensure that monthly reimbursement claims submissions are reviewed and approved by someone outside the preparer. 14. Recommendation: Establish a formal process for external review of meal claim reports and ISBE reimbursement submissions by someone other than the preparer. 15. Management's response: See corrective action plan.

The submissions of monthly claims for reimbursement should be reviewed and approved by someone other than the preparer of the claim to ensure the claim is properly prepared and agrees to supporting documentation. The audit finding is based on the requirement that meal claim reports for the National School Breakfast and National School Lunch Program must undergo thorough review by an independent party outside of the preparer. 9. Condition: The Director of Food Services prepares and submits monthly reimbursement claims to ISBE. These submissions are not reviewed or approved by anyone else.
