Subject: Education Stabilization Fund – Special Tests and Provisions - Wage Rate Requirements Federal Agency: Department of Education Federal Program: COVID-19 - Education Stabilization Fund Assistance Listing Number: 84.425D Federal Award Numbers and Years (or Other Identifying Numbers): S425D210013 Pass-Through Entity: Indiana Department of Education Compliance Requirement: Special Tests and Provisions - Wage Rate Requirements Audit Findings: 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 Special Tests and Provisions – Wage Rate Requirements compliance requirements. Context: For 1 of 2 sample items tested, we noted the School Corporation expended approximately $212,000 on science room improvements, which was funded with ESSER II (84.425D) grant awards. The School Corporation did not properly include Davis-Bacon wage rate requirements in the vendor contract. Additionally, the School Corporation did not obtain the weekly payroll reports certifications from the construction vendor to monitor compliance with Davis-Bacon wage rate requirements. Therefore, no review was performed to ensure that pay rates complied with the federal wage rate requirements. The lack of controls and noncompliance was isolated to fiscal year 2023. Views of Responsible Officials and Planned Corrective Actions: Management agrees with the finding and has prepared a corrective action plan. Responsible party and timeline for completion: Kendra Sandquist, Director of Finance has assessed all ESSER grant award expenditures, notably the capital projects and equipment purchases. In an effort to rectify the Davis-Bacon wage rate requirements, D&S Builders, contractor for science room improvements, was contacted. While their contract did not specify Davis-Bacon wage rate requirements, D&S Builders was aware that the project was Federally-funded and therefore Davis-Bacon requirements were adhered to including payment to laborers meeting or exceeding LaGrange County prevailing wage determinations. Certified payroll reports should have been obtained and reviewed for compliance for the duration of the project from May 2022 through August 2022. Future Federally-funded projects will specify Davis-Bacon wage rate requirement clauses within the contracts and internal controls will be followed to ensure compliance including, but not limited to, obtaining weekly certified payroll reports and comparing to the prevailing wages. This Corrective Action was completed on December 4, 2024

Action Taken: To better document the time and effort for salaried employees the following will take place to demonstrate and document the specific activities and any adjustment to the allocated amounts of the positions. On a quarterly basis the Director of Finance will work with the members of leadership that have positions allocated across various programs to identify the ongoing percentage of time spent on each of the different programs they support. The current percentage of their duties will be discussed with the employee and adjustments will be made to their percentage allocated in the payroll system based on the changes in duties and time spent on each of the programs. If no change is necessary, it will be noted in the minutes of the meeting. Additionally, during the contract renewal period or any contract amendment period the duties of all personnel who would be associated with that contract and program will be evaluated and the percentage of time to be spent on that contract will be document and updated in the payroll system if changes are warranted. Lastly, monthly if a salaried employee works on a different program or contract than their payroll allocation it will be adjusted on the monthly payroll expenditures spreadsheet and any reduction of duties or additions of duties will be reflected and this information will be retained by the Director of Finance for documentation. The basis for how each position percentage is determined for each contract will be documented during the contract or amendment process. (i.e. Director of HR percentage is determined based on the number of staff they support, the amount of turnover anticipated in the contract and the effort to work with the contract’s unique requirements of the personnel and how much the HR department is involved with these requirements.)
