FINDING 2024-002 (Continued) Context: During the testing of payroll disbursements charged to the Education Stabilization Fund grant awards during the audit period, the following exceptions were noted: • For 16 payroll disbursements, in a sample of 40, management was unable to provide an approved employee contract or hourly rate ordinance to support the selected employees' bi-weekly pay rate. • For one transaction selection, an employee received a $730.43 one-time payment for a Teacher Appreciation Grant (TAG) funded by the 84.425U award. The Teacher Appreciation Grant has its own fund and is a state/local grant received to reward high-performing, eligible certified staff.

2024-101: Significant Deficiency in Internal Controls Over Compliance and Noncompliance Required to be Reported in Accordance with 2 CFR §200.516(c): Payroll Recommendation: To help ensure employees receive accurate compensation, the School should implement internal control procedures that include thorough verification of payroll data against authorized pay rates before payroll is processed. Action Taken: 1. Pay rate change requests will be accumulated and organized by effective date. 2. For each payroll, all (100%) of the pay rate change requests that became effective during the pay period will be compared to the pay rates for the impacted employee that appear in the preliminary payroll reports. For example, for a pay period from 10/16/2024 to 10/30/2024, all pay rate change requests with effective dates between 10/16/2024 and 10/30/2024 will be compared to the pay rates for the impacted employees in the preliminary payroll reports. 3. If any discrepancies between the pay rate change requests and the pay rates in the preliminary payroll reports are identified, the pay rate will be corrected in the payroll system, the preliminary payroll reports will be reproduced, and steps 1 and 2 will be repeated. 4. If no discrepancies between the pay rate change requests and the pay rates in the preliminary payroll reports are identified, the payroll will proceed as usual. 5. For pay rate change requests with retroactive effective dates, the date of receipt of the change request will be documented, pay rate changes will be implemented immediately, and retroactive pay will be paid in the next payroll. The retroactive change requests will be verified as described in steps 1 and 2. Anticipated Completion Date: 12/31/2024 Contact Person: Keith Chilton

Condition: Quarterly expenditure reports for the projects expenditures were not timely filed for ESSER III D3 (2 of 4 quarters required).

Finding 2024-003 – Education Stabilization Fund – Activities Allowed or Unallowed, Allowable Costs/Cost Principles Context: Two vouchers, in a sample of twenty-one vouchers selected for testing, were for an unallowable activity and unallowable costs. The vouchers related to transportation for students to Kings Island as an incentive for students who demonstrated that they were proficient in workplace skills such as attendance, emotion management, and other soft skills. The two Kings Island vouchers tested were the only Kings Island vouchers in the population. Contact Person Responsible for Corrective Action: Dr. Matthew Williams Contact Phone Number: 765-762-7000 Views of Responsible Official: We concur with the finding. Description of Corrective Action Plan: Since the money utilized came from a federal fund that is no longer available, this will not occur again. However, if a similar fund were to become available in the future, the superintendent will have the final review of how the funds are being spent. This will help avoid a similar situation to the one that is outlined in this finding. Anticipated Completion Date: 12/9/24
