An Administrative Review for the District was completed by the Arkansas Department of Education, Child Nutrition Unit (ADE, CNU) in March 2019. The review noted the following exceptions when examining a sample of applications: four applications exceeded the 10 day processing timeline, three applications were missing required information, one application was classified incorrectly as free status but should have been classified as reduced status, one application was classified incorrectly as reduced status but should have been classified as paid status, and no source documentation was available for transfer students from another School Food Authority (SFA) to prove correct eligibility. Additionally, during our testing of free and reduced price meal applications, we noted two applications where the District incorrectly annualized the household reported income; however, the errors did not affect the determination of eligibility status. Cause: District personnel did not properly monitor the approval process to ensure applications were properly processed and classified. Effect or potential effect: The District did not ensure all applications were properly completed and classified. Context: Results of an Administrative Review by the ADE, CNU and audit examination of 19 free and reduced price meal applications for completeness and proper classification during audit fieldwork from a total population of 185 approved applications. Recommendation: The District should establish controls to ensure free and reduced price meal applications are properly completed and classified. Views of responsible officials: Eligibility of the applications that were determined incorrectly was corrected upon CNU/ADE review. Applications in 2019-2020 have gone through a rigorous review process and have been viewed by 2 or more people to make sure signatures, SS numbers, etc. are not missing from the applications. The District purchased a date stamp to mark dates applications are received to avoid missing the 10 day deadline for processing. Closely detailed logs documenting information obtained from previous schools will be made accessible.
