REPEAT OF 2021-001OTHER MATTERS

As of June 30, 2022, the District?s fund balance exceeded three months? average of operating expenses. Cause: This condition appears to be the result of additional revenues received from the Summer Seamless Option (SSO) under the National School Lunch and National School Breakfast Programs. Effect: As a result of this condition, the District did not fully comply with USDA fund balance requirements. Questioned Costs: None Perspective Information: The District?s fund equity of $322,143 at fiscal year-end exceeded the allowable three months of expenditures threshold by $220,331. Recommendations: We recommend the District closely monitor its financial activity for the year ended June 30, 2023 to ensure that fund balance is reduced to an appropriate level. Views of Responsible Officials: The Business Manager has created and submitted a spend down plan that has been approved by the Michigan Department of Education. The District expects adherence to this plan will reduce the fund balance within the Food Service Fund to an appropriate level for the year ending June 30, 2023. The District has approved the purchase of equipment that will cost $237,771 and had anticipated that it would be in service by June 30, 2022. However, there have been delays in receiving the equipment and therefore the District was unable to expend resources on the equipment prior to June 30, 2022.

Condition: As of June 30, 2022, the District?s fund balance exceeded three months? average of operating expenses.

Corrective Action Plan

CORRECTIVE ACTION PLAN JUNE 30, 2022 Finding 2022-001: Material Noncompliance Finding Condition: As of June 30, 2022, the District?s fund balance exceeded three months? average of operating expenses. Corrective Steps Taken: The District has ordered equipment that costs approximately $237,800, but due to supply chain issues, the equipment is not available yet. Corrective Steps to be Taken: The business manager has created and submitted a spend down plan in a timely manner and has been approved by the Michigan Department of Education. The spend down plan will alleviate the excess fund balance and it is anticipated the completion date for the corrective action plan will be before the end of the 2022-2023 fiscal year. Monitoring: The business manager, along with the superintendent, will work together to assess where the fund balance is after all the projects from the spend down plan are completed. Reasons Corrective Action Plan Note Necessary: None Name of Responsible Person for Further Information: Cheri Bush, Business Manager Questioned Costs Related to this Finding: None
