REPEAT

During our testing of the Child Nutrition Cluster net cash resources, we noted that the School District Food Service Fund net cash resources were in excess of the maximum allowable amount. Context: As of June 30, 2022, the School District Food Service Fund net cash resources were in excess of the maximum allowable amount. Effect: The School District could receive reduced funding in future years if the condition continues. Cause: The School District had planned to reduce its Food Service Fund net cash resources below the maximum threshold, but it was unable to get proper approvals, order and receive purchased items and/or services by the end of the fiscal year. Due to the supply chain issues that the entire United States was experiencing, items were not delivered before the fiscal year end. Repeat Finding: A similar finding was reported during the single audit for the year ended June 30, 2021. Recommendation: The School District should develop and complete a spend-down plan to ensure it reduces its Food Service Fund net cash resources below the maximum allowable amount. Views of Responsible Officials: The School District agrees with this finding.
