SIGNIFICANT DEFICIENCYREPEAT OF 2021-001

Portland Public Schools currently has more than the allowable fund balance in the non-profit food service fund. As a result, the District will be required to develop a spending plan to reduce the balance to an acceptable level during 2022-2023 school year. The plan must be submitted to the Michigan Department of Education prior to implementation. Excess fund cannot be transferred to the general fund. Question costs: None Cause: The District participated in the Seamless Summer Option program which is causing a larger than normal increase in the food service fund balance. Effect: At June 30, 2022, the District?s food service fund balance was greater than three months of expenditures. Recommendation: The District should implement a budget, as well as the required corrective action plan, for the 2022-2023 school year that will adequately reduce the food service fund balance. District?s Response: The District concurs with the facts of this finding and is developing an implementation plan and procedures to prevent this in the future.

Corrective Action Plan

PORTLAND PUBLIC SCHOOLS CORRECTIVE ACTION PLAN FOR THE YEAR ENDED JUNE 30, 2022 Portland Public Schools respectfully submits the following corrective action plan for the year ended June 30, 2022. Auditor: Maner Costerisan 2425 E. Grand River Ave., Suite 1 Lansing, Michigan 48912 Audit Period: Year ended June 30, 2022 District Contact Person: Derrick Stair, Director of Finance The findings from the June 30, 2022 schedule of findings and responses are discussed below. The findings are numbered consistently with the number assigned in the schedule. Finding - Financial statement audit Finding 2022-001 Considered a significant deficiency Recommendation: The District should implement a budget, as well as the required corrective action plan, for the 2022-2023 school year that will adequately reduce the food service fund balance. Action to be Taken: Management agrees with the finding and already has developed a spend down plan that has been approved by the Michigan Department of Education. We are looking at expanding food choices, expanding healthy food options, as well as needed upgrades to kitchen equipment. Date of Completion: The District?s spend down plan is anticipated to be completed by June 30, 2024. Kitchen equipment availability is severely limited due to national supply chain delays. The installation of this equipment is also limited based on times when school is not in session. These are the two primary factors why the District anticipates it will take multiple years in-order to complete its spend down plan.
