The Platte-Geddes School District Business Official, Kathleen A. Holter, is the contact person responsible for the corrective action plan for this finding. This finding is due to the limited number of staff employed in the district's business office. Staffing the office at an efficient and financially feasible level precludes the hiring of adequate personnel to provide an ideal environment for the internal controls. Platte-Geddes School District adopted an Internal Controls and Procedures policy in August 2017. We are aware of the weakness in internal controls and will adhere to policies and procedures we have in place while providing compensating controls to reduce the risk. This will be an ongoing process.

Education Stabilization Fund Assistance Listing Number: 84.425D Federal Award Numbers and Years (or Other Identifying Numbers): S425D200013, S425U200013 Pass-Through Entity: Indiana Department of Education Compliance Requirement: Reporting Audit Finding: Material Weakness Condition: An effective internal control system was not in place at the School Corporation in order to ensure compliance with requirements related to the grant agreement and the Reporting compliance requirements. Context: The School Corporation was required to submit two Annual Data Reports to the Indiana Department of Education (IDOE) to meet federal reporting requirements for ESSER grant awards. The first report was for the period of March 13, 2020 to September 30, 2020 and was due by January 21, 2021. The second report was for the period of October 1, 2020 to June 30, 2021 and was due by May 13, 2022. The amounts reported as expended on the second report did not agree to the underlying expenditure records of the School Corporation. Per discussion with the Treasurer, the amounts reported on the second report were the appropriated amounts, not the actual amounts expended during the period. Therefore, the amounts on the report were overstated by approximately 25% for ESSER I and 280% for ESSER II compared to the correct amounts on the School Corporation?s records. Additionally, for both reports that were submitted, there was no documented review by someone other than the preparer of the report to ensure the information submitted was complete and accurate. Views of Responsible Officials and Planned Corrective Actions: We concur with the finding. Description of Corrective Action Plan: The NJ-SP School Corporation will implement effective internal controls to oversee that the federal grant information prepared and submitted is accurate and reviewed. This will be done in order to detect and correct errors that may be entered prior to submission. This will be done by having an employee prepare the Annual Data Report information while another employee reviews and approves the information before submitting. These controls will be implemented by July 1, 2023. Responsible Party and Timeline for Completion: Dalton C. Tunis ? Corporation Business Manager/Treasurer Anticipated Completion Date: July 1, 2023

Since the formatting errors were not addressed and all completed boxes on the North Vermillion ESSER Report spreadsheet turned green (indicating the correct amounts on the spreadsheet), the North Vermillion officials felt the ESSER report submitted was correct. Description of Corrective Action Plan: To correct the internal control issue, the Superintendent and Corporation Treasurer will work independently as well as collaboratively on the ESSER Reports. Prior to submitting any future report, the corporation officials will document their work by signing off and dating the report prior to submission to the DOE. To rectify the incorrect dollar amount on the Yearly ESSER Report Spreadsheet, the corporation treasurer and superintendent will work collaboratively to correct the amounts on either the ESSER I Year End Report and the ESSER II Year 2 and/or Year End Report. Anticipated Completion Date: Both the Internal Control and ESSER I corrective actions have been corrected, with the ESSER I Final Expenditure Report being completed and signed off on. The ESSER II corrective actions will be completed on the upcoming ESSER III Year End Report when that report is due.

The District did identify the wage rate falsification matter in a timely manner. We proactively worked with legal counsel, the Iowa Auditor of State, external auditors, the Glenwood Board of Education and our software vendor to appropriately report and resolve the situation. We have requested our school accounting system vendor, Software Unlimited, to develop a wage rate change report that can be regularly reviewed. The requested report is in process of development and will be included in an upcoming software maintenance release. We have received and reviewed a pay rate change query report from Software Unlimited for the months of January 2022 to April 2022 and no exceptions were discovered. Appropriate review procedures have been established to regularly review this report in the future. We have both contacted the insurance company and legal counsel both of whom indicated that this is a School District decision that does not need approval by either of them. We will also work on revising procedures to include documentation of administrative approval of employee time cards and we do have procedures for the Board President to sign all contracts entered into by the District that comply with Chapter 291 .1 of the Code of Iowa. We have enhanced internal procedures so that procedures are in place to allow for confirmation of all required payroll filings and to ensure that the filings are timely. Our procedures now include a requirement that all W-2 filings are confirmed by two individuals at the District. In addition, we have contacted the District insurance company and informed them of the situation so that a claim can be filed if needed to cover any penalties associated with the late W-2 filing.
