Responsible Person(s): Meredith Lumpkin/J’Noie Parker, Child Care Subsidy Program Manager Corrective Action Planned: 1.) Process Redesign and Standardization: DSS has redefined the redetermination packet to require submission of the application and all required verifications to ensure complete documentation to streamline eligibility review. Updated procedural guidance has been incorporated into the Interim Guidance Manual to clarify verification requirements and documentation standards. A standardized step-by-step resource guide and redetermination flow chart have been developed outlining required actions, decision points, and the importance of reviewing redetermination monitoring reports on a monthly basis to ensure cases do not exceed eligibility periods. 2.) Immediate Remediation: In January, following the initial APA audit, DSS conducted a statewide scope and scale review of all active cases to identify outstanding redeterminations. Through this analysis, DSS identified 88 overdue redeterminations (31 from January 2026 and 57 from periods prior to January 2026). Local departments and appropriate staff were notified individually of the specific cases requiring action and directed to take corrective steps. DSS will review cases at the end of March to ensure action has been taken. Going forward, DSS will direct all local departments to review the monthly system-generated redetermination monitoring report and resolve any cases identified as exceeding the eligibility period. DSS will distribute targeted overdue case lists to Regional Program Consultants (RPCs) and monitor locality progress through centralized tracking to ensure timely eligibility determinations and ongoing CCDF compliance. 3.) Centralized Oversight: DSS will implement a layered oversight process to ensure compliance with required monthly monitoring procedures: -Regional-Level Review: Regional Program Consultants (RPCs) will review redetermination monitoring activity monthly within their assigned localities and direct corrective action as needed to ensure timely processing and case closure when appropriate. -Home Office Verification: DSS Home Office, in collaboration with DOE, will conduct quarterly reviews of regional monitoring activity to verify compliance and provide direction to RPCs where additional corrective action or technical assistance is required. This dual-level oversight structure establishes both ongoing regional monitoring and periodic centralized verification to reduce the risk of recurrence. 4.) Training: Refresher training will be provided to staff at our Benefits Program Conference in April, emphasizing timely processing, required verifications, system documentation standards, and ongoing monitoring responsibilities. Additionally, DSS is collaborating with the Local Training and Development team to initiate the development of a targeted refresher course for tenured staff to reinforce critical requirements, including the redetermination process. Monthly report review, as outlined in bullet two, will inform ongoing training updates to address. 5.) System Control Evaluation: DSS will collaborate with IT to assess potential system enhancements in future releases to strengthen controls related to redetermination due dates, including additional automated functionality or reporting capabilities. DSS will deliver to CCSP leadership, by June 30, 2026, a prioritized list of recommended system enhancements with associated cost estimates for review and consideration.

Finding 2025-002 - Significant Deficiency in Internal Control over Compliance - Student Financial Condition Found: One undergraduate student had aggregate subsidized loans over the aggregate limit. Corrective Action Plan: Previously, Antioch College utilized loan history data from Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA). FAFSA data was utilized because National Student Loan Data System (NSLDS) loan history data was not always available when Antioch College prepared financial aid award letters. Due to the potential loan history discrepancies between data reported via FAFSA versus NSLDS, at the start of each academic year, Antioch College now uses NSLDS data to update loan history of each student to ensure Antioch College has the correct loan balances for each student. This procedural change was put into effect with the start of the 2025-2026 academic year. Person Responsible for Corrective Action Plan Implementation: Director of Financial Aid

Finding 2025-001 - Material Weakness - Borrowings from Endowment Fund Condition Found: The College has borrowed from its endowment funds for campus renovations and to cover certain operating expenses of the College prior to and immediately following its accreditation and approval to participate in federal student financial aid programs. As such, the fair value of assets associated with the donor-restricted endowment funds has fallen below the level that the donor or UPMIFA requires the College to retain as a fund of perpetual duration. Corrective Action Plan: Antioch College obtained guidance from legal counsel regarding the appropriateness of borrowing from the endowment fund under Ohio UPMIFA. Borrowing from the endowment fund by Antioch College was approved by order of Judge Robert Hagler of the Probate Division of the Court of Common Pleas of Greene County, Ohio, in 2013, and Judge Hagler declared in the order the endowment loans “are prudent ‘investment decisions’ pursuant to Ohio Revised Code §1715.52.” [Antioch College Corporation, et al. vs. Antioch University, et al., Greene C.P. No. 10938MIS (Feb. 14, 2013)]. March 6, 2020 forensic audit of the endowment by CliftonLarsonAllen LLP, noted Antioch College has appropriately accounted for endowment transaction. Antioch College has developed long-term plans for maintaining and sustaining its financial stability through key strategies outlined in the board-approved Social Enterprise and Enrollment (SEE) Plan:  Investing in advancement capacity for increased revenue across all areas including annual giving, major gifts, grant income, and events  Identifying a core college footprint and reducing ongoing facilities expenses through building sale, investment, and/or long-term leasing, considering our needs today and in the future  Adjusting financial aid packages and increasing student-derived revenue  Investing in increasing admissions of new and varied students (UG, transfer, incarcerated, adult, visiting) from all religions, races, ethnicities, political ideologies, abilities, genders, gender expressions, sexualities, languages, countries of origin, nationalities, and retention of current students resulting in higher overall enrollment numbers  Adopting and implementing interdisciplinary curriculum pathways and generating these developments as noteworthy through strategic communications and highlighting our world-class faculty  Supporting learning hubs to sustain the cost of their operations through earned and philanthropic revenues, alongside contributing to college overhead  Working towards a sustainable cost structure and business model that keeps us from borrowing from restricted sources, strengthens our financial position, and enables us to begin repaying our endowment over time  Exploring, but not relying on, potential game changers, including the Federal Work College model, transfer pathways, prison education, and community-based learning Office of the President One Morgan Place Yellow Springs, OH 45387 Antioch College is seeing success with the SEE Plan. In 2024, Antioch College was designated a Federal Work College. Advancement continues to meet and exceed revenue goals, including the 2025 End of Year Campaign. Antioch College continues to reduce expenses by “right sizing” both campus footprint and staff, including the prior sale of the old Student Union and pending property sales in fiscal year 2026. Investments in enrollment are succeeding as demonstrated by the record (post 2011 reopening) Winter-term enrollment achieved in January 2026. As Antioch College continues to improve long-term financial stability, in December 2025, its Board of Trustees has established an Endowment Repayment Plan Working Group. The Endowment Repayment Plan Working Group is tasked with assessing and considering options for repayment of borrowed endowment funds, and then reporting back to the Finance Committee of the Board of Trustees. Person Responsible for Corrective Action Plan Implementation: Board of Trustees

Finding 2025-002 – Education Stabilization – Special Tests and Provisions - Wage Rate Requirements Context: The School Corporation did not obtain the weekly payroll reports certifications from a company that performed renovations to replace fan coil units and HVAC equipment in the building. Therefore, no review was performed to ensure that pay rates complied with the federal wage rate requirements. The amount disbursed and reported on the SEFA during the audit period is $119,190 and the labor portion was not determinable by the School Corporation. Contact Person Responsible for Corrective Action: Kimberly Nieves Contact Phone Number: 219-766-2214 Views of Responsible Official: We concur with the finding. Description of Corrective Action Plan: As an internal control, the Director of Business Affairs and Human Resources has reviewed the Davis-Bacon Act.

2025-002. Payroll (Allowable Costs/Cost Principles) United States Department of Education, Passed-through New York State Department of Education: Education Stabilization Funds COVID 19: American Rescue Plan – Elementary and Secondary School Emergency Relief ALN: 84.425U Condition: Subpart I, 2 CFR §200.430 of the Uniform Guidance requires that charges to “Federal awards for salaries and wages must be based on records that accurately reflect the work performed.” The documentation should support the distribution of the employee’s compensation among specific activities if the employees work on more than one Federal award, or a Federal award and non-Federal award. The preparation of payroll verification forms, or periodic certifications or the equivalent is the most effective way to comply with this requirement. During the current year, it was noted that in one instance, the District’s payroll verification form was not reviewed or signed by either the supervisor or employee that was chargedto the grant in order to comply with Subpart I, 2 CFR §200.430. Planned Corrective Action: The District acknowledges the finding and will thoroughly review and maintain the payroll verification forms to ensure each employee’s salary, or other forms of compensation, are properly approved and signed off by the employer and employee. Anticipated Completion Date: June 30, 2026

Estacada School District submits this Corrective Action Plan in response to audit finding SA-2025-02, included in the District’s audit report for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2025, related to the Child Nutrition Cluster federal programs. Finding SA-2025-02 – Significant Deficiency Federal Program: 10.553, 10.555, 10.559 Child Nutrition Cluster Condition: NSLP reimbursement claims were submitted without consistent evidence of independent review and documentation prior to submission. Cause: Staffing turnover and workload demands contributed to inconsistent review practices. Recommendation: Assign an individual other than the preparer to review NSLP reimbursement claims prior to submission and retain documentation of the review. Corrective Action Plan The District has implemented procedures requiring all NSLP reimbursement claims to be reviewed and approved by an individual independent of the preparer prior to submission.

The Department agrees with the recommendation. The Department will review, assess, and, where necessary, update existing procedures for FFATA reporting relating to the requirement that state subawards for $30,000+ be submitted within 30 days of committed budget. This will include ensuring that the confirmation date is documented. This process will be a coordinated effort between the Office Transportation Safety (OTS) and the Center for Accounting. This will include updating our reconciliation process to include additional data, reviewing and updating reconciliation and review procedures as needed, and reconciling Grants awarded in prior fiscal years that are still active and ensuring they have been appropriately reported. The findings related to this recommendation are in part the result of a federal reporting system limitation, and a federal system conversion. The legacy reporting system, FSRS, had a system limitation, which prevented the full amount of the award being reported in the case of three awards. Additionally, this conversion resulted in some data conversion issues impacting one additional award.
The Department agrees with this finding and will provide any training needed to staff members to ensure that all components of the FFATA are completed accurately, timely and with proper reviews.

Matching, Level of Effort, Earmarking United States Department of Education, Passed-through New York State Department of Education: Special Education Cluster Special Education Grants to StatesALN: 84.027 Special Education Preschool GrantsALN: 84.173 Condition: Upon review of the MOE, completed by the District to demonstrate the compliance requirement for the 2023-2024 grant program, it was noted that certain expenditures used in the MOE did not agree with the audited expenditure amounts. This resulted in an erroneous calculation indicating that the District had met the maintenance of effort requirement; however, the MOE completed using audited amounts would have indicated the District would not have met the MOE requirement without the District identifying allowable exceptions. Planned Corrective Action: The District concurs with the finding and has already provided additional training to the individuals responsible for preparing the MOE. Additionally, the District worked with its outside consultant to ensure the revised MOE was accurately completed. The revised MOE was subsequently transmitted to the New York State Education Department. Responsible Contact Person: Timothy Laube, Assistant Superintendent for Business & Operations.

Reference Number: 2025-001 Finding: Other Instance of Noncompliance and Deficiency Status: In-Progress Corrective Action: An instance was found where the R2T4 calculation for one student had a typo of the incorrect date. This was subsequently corrected. We reviewed this student record and concluded that it was a human error made. There is no pattern of incorrect information being used. To avoid future errors, the Assistant Director will meet with the Dean monthly and we will review completed R2T4's during that period. We believe having another pair of eyes to review the work completed will be sufficient to correct any inconsistencies.

USDA Community Facilities Loan Reserve Accounts Planned Corrective Action: Since the USDA loans were settled on December 10, 2020, Presbyterian College has held the required restricted reserves within its investment accounts. The College has confirmed with its USDA loan representative that a fully funded reserve is equal to the total annual payment for each loan. At all times, sufficient assets were maintained to meet the required reserve levels; however, the accounts were not separately titled or formally documented in accordance with the specific administrative requirements of the loan agreements. As soon as is practical, and following guidance regarding timing, the College will work with its investment advisors to make the administrative change to transfer the required balances into separately titled accounts designated “USDA Reserve Account.” The clear account description will ensure proper segregation and documentation of required reserves and prevent these funds from being commingled with other institutional funds in the future. In addition, the Finance Office will document reserve calculations and maintain supporting documentation to ensure ongoing compliance with USDA reserve requirements. Person Responsible for Corrective Action Plan: Elizabeth Oswald-Sease, Vice President of Finance and Administration and Elizabeth Shull, Controller Anticipated Date of Completion: As soon as is practical, but no later than July 1, 2026

Finding number: 2025-001 Federal agency: U.S. Department of Education Programs: Student Financial Assistance Cluster Assistance Listing #: 84.063 Award year: 2025 Corrective Action Plan Contact Person: Sabina Yesman, Director of Financial Aid A PELL Grant was awarded and disbursed for one ineligible student during the 2024-2025 Academic Year at Benjamin Franklin Cummings Institute of Technology (FC Tech). The error resulted from incomplete synchronization between enrollment and financial aid systems during the system transition period. Specifically, enrollment status and census-date verification were not fully integrated into the automated disbursement workflow, allowing aid to disburse before final eligibility confirmation. FC Tech has taken corrective measures and implemented monitoring and system controls to prevent future errors from occurring. Corrective Action Taken  FC Tech reviewed the student’s record and confirmed the ineligibility.  The PELL Grant award was adjusted to $0, and the disbursement was reversed.  The student account was corrected, and all required accounting and G5 drawdown adjustments were completed. The amount of $3,697 was returned on 12/18/2025  The case was documented internally for training purposes. Preventive Measures Implemented (February 2026) To prevent recurrence, FC Tech has implemented the following controls:  Enrollment Verification Prior to Disbursement All PELL-eligible students must be actively enrolled and confirmed in the Student Information System (Jenzabar) prior to disbursement.  Census-Date Verification Through Multiple Systems Enrollment status at census date is now validated through an integrated, multi-system verification process involving the Jenzabar, our Financial Aid System (PowerFAIDS), and Registrarconfirmed Enrollment Reports.  Delayed Disbursement Timeline Federal Aid disbursements are scheduled to occur no earlier than one week after census date to allow sufficient time for enrollment stabilization, drops, corrections and reconciliation  System Edit/Control Automated system edits have been implemented to prevent a PELL disbursement if census-date enrollment status is missing, unconfirmed, or inconsistent across systems.

FINDING 2025-004 Subject: COVID -19 - Education Stabilization Fund - Cash Management Contact Person Responsible for Corrective Action: Allison Vanover, Corporation Treasurer. Contact Phone Number 812-246-3375 Email Address: avanover@scsc.school Views of Responsible Officials: We concur with the finding. Description of Corrective Action Plan: The Corporation will implement and consistently apply a standardized two-level review and approval process for all grant reimbursements to ensure proper accounting, documentation, and compliance. The grants administrator (or designee) will prepare and conduct the initial review of each grant reimbursement to verify that all expenses and receipts contain the correct accounting information, are properly documented, and are recorded in the appropriate accounts within the Financial Management System (FMS). The Corporation Treasurer (or designee) will perform an independent secondary review of all grant reimbursements, including a review of supporting documentation and account coding, and will provide final approval and signature as evidence of authorization. On a monthly basis, grant accounts will be reviewed by the grants administrator for accuracy and completeness, with the Corporation Treasurer (or designee) conducting a secondary monthly review to confirm accuracy and compliance. This two-level review process ensures adequate segregation of duties, strengthens internal controls, and provides documented oversight of all grant reimbursement activity. Anticipated Completion Date: The ESSER grant is finished. If we were to receive this grant in the future, Silver Creek School Corporation would apply the procedures in the corrective action plan.
