Upon identification of the issue, the Financial Aid Office conducted a comprehensive review of its internal procedures and implemented corrective measures to ensure full compliance with Title IV regulations. These measures included reinforcing staff training through targeted sessions, strengthening internal monitoring controls, and confirming that the new system is properly configured to generate and track disbursement notifications.

As part of the enhanced monitoring controls, the office has established periodic reviews of disbursement records, monthly reconciliation processes, and the routine generation and review of system reports to verify that notifications are sent timely and accurately. These steps are designed to prevent similar occurrences in the future and ensure that all students receiving Direct Loans are consistently provided with the required disbursement notifications in accordance with regulatory requirements.

Management concurs with the findings and auditors’ recommendations to enhance internal controls to ensure compliance with the RD requirements. Furthermore, we would like to note that the questioned costs was paid from project cash for the ultimate benefit of improving the property for the tenants. The substantial rehabilitation tax credit transaction planned by the owner is anticipated to start within the next fiscal year will significantly enhance the living standards and experience for the tenants. The funds used for purposes directly related to the operations of the project will be repaid with the planned closing of the Low-Income Housing tax credit transaction during fiscal year 2026 unless an approval is granted by RD for payment of the questioned costs that will ultimately benefit the tenants of Rotary Commons. Furthermore, internal controls over funds used for purposes unrelated to the Corporation are being strengthened to prevent future noncompliance.

The district purchased a welding lab exhaust system through the ESSER program as part of the welding shop renovation project. While the primary contract for the project included the required Davis-Bacon provisions, a separate purchase was made for the exhaust system that was believed to be equipment only. However, the vendor agreement included labor, and the existing contract did not cover this portion of the work. As a result, the required Davis-Bacon language was not included, and certified payroll documentation was not obtained. The district does not typically pay for construction projects involving labor with federal funds. To address this moving forward, the district is implementing additional review procedures to ensure all federally funded purchases are evaluated for potential labor components prior to approval. Any purchase involving labor will include the required federal provisions and documentation. The district will also strengthen internal communication during project planning to ensure all components are properly identified and compliant.
