Action Taken: Management agrees with the recommendations. The unique situation with the COVID-19 funding, coupled with shifts in the business manager’s duties over the last few years and the staff retirement has resulted in grant report filings becoming a lower priority. The management team will work together and will resume management team meetings to determine and monitor the duties for which each is responsible. Strides have been made in this regard, as the principals have become involved in Federal program training, budgeting, and scheduling. Although the aforementioned report submissions are delinquent and funding was suspended, some filings have been completed, and certain payments are forthcoming. However, management will begin to gradually involve the new business office employee in grant reporting to improve on compliance with grant reporting requirements.

The School Corporation did not include Davis Bacon wage rate requirements in its contract with vendor which includes labor installation. The School Corporation did not obtain the weekly payroll reports certifications from vendor installing equipment. Context: The School Corporation had three projects during the audit period which included construction or labor installation which were charged to the ESSER III (84.425U) grant award. For one of two vendors selected for testing, the School Corporation did not include federal wage rate requirement clauses in the contract with the vendor and did not have an internal control designed to collect the weekly payroll reports certifications from vendors and its subcontractors, as applicable, to comply with Davis Bacon wage rate requirements. The amount disbursed for the project totaled $50,000. Views of Responsible Official: We concur with the finding. Description of Corrective Action Plan: Management will ensure all construction projects anticipated to incur labor costs greater than $2,000 include a signed contract containing a Davis-Bacon wage rate provision and will monitor the vendor to ensure compliance with certified payroll reporting requirements. Responsible Party and Timeline for Completion: David Wolford and Wyatt Schmicker will review wage rate provisions with vendors before initiating contracts when using federal funds.

Finding 2024-001 – Child Nutrition Cluster – Eligibility Context: During sample testing of 60 students for eligibility, we noted 7 instances where there was no documented review by someone other than the individual making the eligibility determination. The lack of review was isolated to paper applications. Contact Person Responsible for Corrective Action: Mr. Patrick Culp Contact Phone Number: 219-279-2418 Views of Responsible Official: We concur with the finding. Of note, this is a new finding as we have never experienced this problem before. For this audit period, the Tri-County Food Service Director suffered a serious foot injury, requiring her to miss an extended period of time. When the accident with the Food Service Director occurred, one of the first actions the corporation took was to contact IDOE about our situation. The IDOE was aware how the review the process would look during that time. While the Food Service Director was recovering, student eligibility was not reviewed properly. Description of Corrective Action Plan: The Tri-County School Corporation food service director will complete all initial reviews of student eligibility. The initial review will be for both electronic and paper applications. Once the initial review is complete, the Tri-County central office secretary will complete a second review. The secretary works in a different building and does not have a role in eligibility determinations. Anticipated Completion Date: Our corrective action plan began in August 2024, upon the return of our food service director, and this is the plan moving forward.

Management acknowledges that there was an error with one over award of subsidized loan on a student. Student was given $448 (gross) over the aggregate subsidized limit. The overage was sent back to the Direct lender. Since the student graduated, the $448 was covered by a grant. A survey of all students was completed and no other students were discovered to have been over their aggregate subsidized limit. • A student’s aggregate subsidized amount on NSLDS from his FAFSA record was listed at $17,948, allowing only $5,052 in remaining to reach the $23,000 aggregate limit on subsidized loan. Student was given $5,500 when it should have been $5,052. The $448 should have been given as unsubsidized loan. Student had previous loans from another school. (Powerfaids will catch this error if all of the historic loans were processed within our database.) • The student ISIR record did have Comment code 258: “Based upon data provided by the National Student Loan Data System (NSLDS) and your grade level, we have determined that you may have received a total amount of undergraduate student loans that is close to or equal to the loan limits established for the federal loan programs. Therefore, your eligibility for additional student loans may be limited.“ • The Federal processor usually sends a post-screening after federal aid is disbursed with warnings of limits: 255, 256, 258. 260 ad 261. This would cause a C-code on the student record. We did not receive a subsequent ISIR record on said student. Corrective Action Plan: Include in the Quality Assurance rules one for the ISIR codes associated with NSLDS overawarding of loans whether it be annual limits or aggregate limits. We will monitor these codes regularly during packaging season and subsequent to loan disbursing.

Identifying Number: 2024-001 Finding: Enrollment Reporting. The enrollment status for students who completed their graduation requirements in May 2024 was incorrect for more than 30 days. Corrective Actions Taken or Planned: This issue occurred because enrollment and degree verify files sent to the National Student Clearinghouse (NSC) at the end of a term were processed in a particular order and student enrollment data overwrote student graduated status data. To correct the impacted students, the university registrar requested that NSC reprocess the May 2024 degree verify file, which should have been processed last. To prevent a future recurrence, the registrar has modified the file upload schedule to reflect the correct order of processing and has updated office procedures to clarify that the degree verify file should be uploaded last, following the submission of all term enrollment data. In addition to altering the file submission schedule, the registrar will ensure the end-of-term enrollment file has been processed by the NSC before the Degree Verify file is submitted each term.

The University recognizes the importance of complying with all federal requirements. In this case out of the sample of students one student was reported late to NSLDS. During the processing of a student's academic status, there was a unique situation where the student's record remained active in our system due to the presence of an incomplete grade. In this case, because the incomplete grade delayed the finalization of the student’s academic status, the dismissal was not reported to NSLDS within the typical timeframe. Once the incomplete was resolved and the final status was updated, the necessary information was reported to NSLDS. Measures will be put in place to ensure all changes are processed timely, additional measures are as follows.  Adding the following language to the Graduate catalog, consistent with the Undergraduate catalog: Students with one or more Incomplete grades at the end of the term have an academic standing of On Hold until the Incomplete grade(s) is resolved. When all Incomplete grades are converted to letter grades, the term and cumulative GPA are recalculated and academic standing is set according to the Standards of Academic Progress.  Before any dismissal decision is finalized, the Registrar’s Office verifies that all incomplete grades for the student have been resolved and that final grades are recorded in the system. This verification ensures that no student is dismissed prematurely or inaccurately in the academic records. Implement a workflow process as a double check in the student information system that monitors the status of incomplete grades for students who are dismissed, the system will generate alerts to the Registrar’s office when an incomplete grade is pending resolution in conjunction with dismissal.  Implementing controls to ensure accurate grading in conjunction with dismissals in the Student Information System will enable precise reporting to NSC/NSLDS
