The accompanying schedule of expenditures of federal awards (the "Schedule") includes the federal grant activity of Central Islip Union Free School District (the "District") under programs of the federal government for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2022. The information in this Schedule is presented in accordance with the requirements of Title 2 U.S. Code of Federal Regulations Part 200, Uniform Administrative Requirements, Cost Principles, and Audit Requirements for Federal Awards (Uniform Guidance).

Fiscal Year Ended June 30, 2022 Significant Deficiency Criteria: According to the OMB Compliance Supplement, the District is required to report graduation rate data using the four-year adjusted cohort rate, or one or more extended-year adjusted cohort rates.

To confirm that a student transferred out, the school or LEA must have official written documentation that the student enrolled in another school or in an educational program that culminates in the award of a regular high school diploma. Condition: The District did not maintain supporting documentation for eight out of forty exit student transfers tested during the 2021-2022 school year.
