Condition: Two of the 40 student files (5%) we examined, we noted the students were not properly awarded Direct loans. Further, we noted two of the 40 students (5%) were not properly awarded Pell. Corrective Action Plan: It is important to note that the entire 2021/2022 award year was processed by 3rd party servicer, Fully Disbursed. The current Financial Aid staff at Blackburn College started in October of 2021 but the processing was conducted by Fully Disbursed as they were under contract with Blackburn College for all 2021-2022 processing and packaging until August 2022 at the completion of the summer semester. The Financial Aid Office at Blackburn has evaluated and revised policies and procedures to ensure students receive the proper amount of Title IV Aid. Reconciling each month is necessary to ensure we catch any and all discrepancies that may occur. We will continue to utilize all available software to assist with packaging and that will allow all financial aid, including Title IV funds, to be reviewed frequently by both the Director of Financial Aid and the Assistant Director of Financial Aid. Responsible Person for Correction Action Plan: Alexis Brown, Director of Financial Aid Implementation Date for Corrective Action Plan: April 2023

The Independent External Audit for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2022 included finding #2022-004 in which the District was cited as recording expenditures to the incorrect federal program. Allowable expenditures under the ECF program had not been adjusted to the limits set forth on FCC Form 471, which resulted in an overstatement of expenditures under the ECF program and an understatement of expenditures on the COVID-19 American Rescue Plan Elementary and Secondary Emergency Relief - 3 program. This finding is new to the District as of the 2021-22 Audit and is not a repeat finding. The cause for this finding is the need to reclassify expenditures, amounting to $65,260. The District has recorded these expenditures, of "local share" in the Emergency Connectivity Fund (ECF) budget line. These expenditures should have been expended from the COVID-19 American Rescue Plan Elementary and Secondary Emergency Relief - 3 budget line, as that is where the "local share" was expended. During the 2021-22 Fiscal Year, the School District worked with eRate Central to complete an application totaling $746,356, all of which were approved and committed by the FCC. While the District received this substantial commitment of funds to purchase earmarked technology equipment, the District was also responsible for a local share of some, but not all, devices. These local funds were being paid out of the ARP ESSER 3 Grant, out of a section earmarked for technology purchases. To mitigate findings, such as #2022-004 in the subsequent years, the District will record expenditures properly, using the appropriate budget codes. The District will review its expenditure budget lines and will monitor its usage of Federal Funds more closely.

2022-067 Oregon Department of Education Ensure accuracy of federal reporting Federal Awarding Agency: U.S. Department of Education Assistance Listing Number and Name: 84.425C Education Stabilization Fund (COVID-19) Federal Award Numbers and Years: S425C200048; 2020 (COVID-19) Compliance Requirement: Reporting Type of Finding: Significant Deficiency; Noncompliance Prior Year Finding: N/A Questioned Costs: N/A Criteria: 2 CFR 200.302(b); 2 CFR 200.303(a) Federal regulations require that federal reports include all activity of the reporting period and be supported by applicable accounting records. Federal regulations also require that the department file a separate report for the Governor?s Emergency Education Relief (GEER) expenditures for the period ending June 30, 2021. The department reported GEER information for the local education areas (LEAs) related to the comprehensive distance learning grant program. LEAs submit reimbursement to the department and this information is tracked in an excel database. The database includes various information, including funding types, dates, and amounts. During FY 2022, the department completed the reports using the database, but incorrectly filtered the data so some expenditures were not captured. This resulted in an underreporting of GEER expenditures by $13.9 million. We recommend department management ensure that accurate expenditure data is submitted to the federal government for federal reporting. MANAGEMENT RESPONSE: We agree with this recommendation. ODE has noted the mistake in data filtering and will remedy to ensure accurate expenditure reporting this year. Annual reporting for GEER will enable this error to be corrected moving forward.
