Finding 2023-002 Information on the federal program: 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 Number: 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. The School Corporation did not include Davis Bacon wage rate requirements in its contract with vendor which includes labor. The School Corporation did not obtain the weekly wage reports timely from vendor and its subcontractors for projects funded by ESSER funds. Context: The School Corporation expended ESSER II funds (84.425D) on playground equipment and HVAC Air Handlers which included labor costs for installation. The amount disbursed for equipment which includes labor costs totaled $54,195 during the audit period. The School Corporation did not have contracts in place with these vendors which included clauses for federal wage rate requirements applicable to projects funded with federal grant funds. The School Corporation also did not have an internal control in place to collect and review weekly wage reports from the vendor during the project period. Views of Responsible Officials and Corrective Action Plan: Management agrees with the finding. 1. Include Davis-Bacon wage requirements in vendor contracts which are federally funded 2. Request weekly payroll report certifications from vendor and reviewed by the grant manager to ensure compliance (sign off). Responsible Party and Timeline for Completion: The grant awards manager (Tim Drake) will include the Davis-Bacon wage requirements in vendor contracts which are federally funded as well as request and review weekly payroll report certifications from vendor and sign off. This will start on March 6, 2024 moving forward

Finding 2023-002 - ESSER I, II, III Audit Findings: Material Weakness Condition and Context: The school Corporation had not properly designed or implemented a system of internal controls, which would include appropriate segregation of duties, that would likely be effective in preventing, or detecting and correcting noncompliance. The School Corporation was required to submit annual data reports to the Indiana Department of Education (IDOE) via JOTForm, a form/report builder. Data to be submitted included, but was not limited to, current period expenditures, prior period expenditures, and expenditures per activity. During the audit period the School Corporation submitted two ESSER I reports, two ESSER II reports, and two ESSER III reports, for a total of six reports. The annual data reports were compiled, prepared and submitted by the Superintendent without an oversight or review process in place to prevent or detect and correct errors. The lack of internal controls was a systemic issue which occurred throughout the audit period. Views of responsible officials and planned corrective action: Management concurs with the finding. Internal control plan is as follows: A. Superintendent approves payment of expenditures and approves reimbursement receipts. B. Treasurer pays invoices, requests reimbursements and records receipts. C. Superintendent uses reports provided by Treasurer to prepare annual data reports and submit to IDOE. D. Treasurer will review Data Report before submission. Responsible Party overseeing corrective action plans and date for completion: Roger Bane, Superintendent Teresa Brewer, Treasurer Finding 2023-002 Effective implementation March 2024

FINDING 2023-009 Finding Subject: Education Stabilization Fund - Reporting Summary of Finding: Material Weakness, Other Matters, Qualified Opinion The School Corporation had not properly designed or implemented a system of internal controls, which would include appropriate segregation of duties, that would likely be effective in preventing, or detecting and correcting, noncompliance. The School Corporation was required to submit an annual data report to the Indiana Department of Education (IDOE) via JotForm, a form/report builder. Data to be submitted included, but was not limited to, current period expenditures, prior period expenditures, and expenditures per activity. During the audit period the School Corporation submitted two ESSER I reports, two ESSER II reports and two ESSER III reports, for a total of six reports. The annual data reports were prepared by the Chief Financial Officer and reviewed by a second knowledgeable individual; however, this process did not allow for the prevention, or detection and correction of errors prior to submission. Due to the lack of effective internal controls, one of the six annual data reports was not supported by the School Corporation’s records. For the ESSER 1, Year 2 report, which covered the period of October 1, 2020 to June 30, 2021, the School Corporation’s records did not support the data in the report. The lack of controls and noncompliance were isolated to the ESSER I, Year 2 report.

FINDING 2023-008 Finding Subject: Education Stabilization Fund - Activities Allowed or Unallowed Summary of Finding: Material Weakness The Elementary and Secondary School Emergency Relief (ESSER) Fund provided funding to States and school districts to combat the effects of the coronavirus, help safely reopen and sustain the safe operation of schools, and to address the impact of the coronavirus pandemic on the nation’s students. States were required to subgrant a portion of their ESSER allocation to local educational agencies (LEA). Prior to LEAs receiving their respective subgrants, LEAs were required to complete an application for ARP ESSER funding, which was submitted to the Indiana Department of Education (IDOE), the pass-through entity for approval. The application included a district level budget identifying how the LEA intended to spend program funds. The School Corporation did not have internal controls in place over payroll disbursements charged to the ESSER grant funds. Payroll disbursements were paid without evidence that the detailed report of payroll disbursements was reviewed and approved by another person not involved in the original payroll process. Contact Person Responsible for Corrective Action: Bengamin Mann Contact Phone Number and Email Address: 765-536-0008 bmann@mgusc.k12.in.us Views of Responsible Officials: We concur with the finding Description of Corrective Action Plan: Quarterly grant meetings will be held between the CFO, Deputy Treasurer, and Grant writer. This will ensure compliance requirements continue to be met. The CFO now reviews the Org Charge report and signs off before the payroll batch being released to the bank. This report is generated by Payroll and Benefits. Also, this entire report is now included with board claims for board approval rather than a final summary sheet.

IDEA’s Special Education – Preschool Grants program provides grants to states, and through them to LEAs to assist them in providing special education and related services to children with disabilities ages three to five and, at the state’s discretion, to twoyear- old children with disabilities who will turn three during the school year. The School Corporation had not properly designed or implemented a system of internal controls that would likely be effective in preventing, or detecting and correcting, noncompliance. Activities Allowed or Unallowed: The School Corporation did not have internal controls in place over payroll disbursements charged to the special education grants. Payroll disbursements were paid without evidence that the detailed report of payroll disbursements was reviewed and approved by another person not involved in the original payroll process. Period of Performance: A payroll journal report was generated by the Payroll/Benefits Coordinator and reviewed and approved by the Chief Financial Officer or the Deputy Treasurer to ensure costs charged to the special education grants were within the period of performance. However, there was no documented evidence of the review.

Corrective Action Plan For the Year Ended May 31, 2023 Finding 2023-001 Assistance Listing Number(s), Federal Agency and Program Name: 84.063, 84.007, 84.033, and 84.268; United States Department of Education (DOE), Student financial assistance cluster. Finding Type: Noncompliance and material weakness in internal control over compliance relating to special tests. Criteria: The Institute is responsible for designing, implementing, and maintaining internal control over compliance for special tests and provisions and for accurately and timely reporting significant data elements under the Campus- Level and Program-Level records within the National Student Loan Data System (NSLDS) that DOE considers high risk. Statement of Condition: Management implemented controls that specifically addressed the circumstances surrounding prior year finding 2022-001. Management's review of the enrollment reporting did not detect other errors on certain student data elements or timely reporting. Certain student records within the NSLDS were identified with inaccurate data elements and not timely reported. Questioned Costs: Questioned costs could not be determined. Context: 10 students were identified with inaccurate data elements and not timely reported out of a total of 25 students tested. Cause: The Institute’s internal control over compliance did not detect and correct the errors. The preparer incorrectly input the student's effective date and status into NSLDS resulting in inaccuracies in significant Campus- Level and Program-Level enrollment data elements that DOE considers high risk. Effect: The Institute incorrectly reported certain Campus-Level and Program-Level records in NSLDS which is information that DOE considers high risk and the Institute’s internal controls over compliance did not detect and correct the errors. Recommendation: We recommend management review policies and procedures surrounding enrollment reporting submissions to ensure the accuracy of data elements reported to DOE. A review performed by an appropriate individual separate from the preparer prior to the submission of the enrollment reports to NSLDS may improve the accuracy of enrollment reporting. Status: Completed February 2024 Corrective Action: Management agrees with the finding. Through internal investigation, it was determined that there was a procedural issue with the manual entry of two date fields which both need to be the same when submitted to National Student Clearinghouse (NSC). Human error during these manual checks caused one data field to be correct, and the other incorrect. This error has been fixed so that both fields will always be the same and accurate. We have also updated our enrollment reporting procedures to have the registrar log into NSLDS monthly to confirm that the prior month NSC status changes are properly recorded in NSLDS.

Material Weakness - Internal Controls over Reporting and Noncompliance The Office of Financial Management (OFM) Grant Program Administrator, Heather Larson will monitor and ensure that Federal Funding Accountability and Transparency Act of 2006 (FFATA) reports are filed as required in the FSRS system. Since the recent transition of the CDBG Entitlement Cluster from an outside agency back to Sarasota County, the County has implemented a standardized form to capture needed information from current and future subrecipients to report appropriately the requirements of the Federal Funding Accountability and Transparency Act of 2006 (FFATA). The OFM Grant Analyst assigned to the funding award, upon review of any pending subaward/ subaward amendment, will create an Action Item utilizing the Grants Administration module of OnBase. The Action Item will require completion of any required FSRS reporting. Action item will be assigned and have a deadline date no late than the last day of the month following the month in which the subaward/ subaward amendment obligation was made. Implementation date for this process - On or before February 28, 2024.

FINDING 2023-001 Finding Subject: Child Nutrition Cluster - Special Tests and Provisions - Verification of Free and Reduced Price Applications Summary of Finding: An effective internal control system, which would include segregation of duties, 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 - Verification of Free and Reduced Price Applications compliance requirement. Based upon the number of approved applications on file on October 1, the School Corporation was required to select a sample of three applications for fiscal year 2022- 2023 that were approved for free and reduced price meals, to verify the applicants' eligibility for the benefits received. The School Corporation requested income documentation from each applicant to perform the verifications as required. The School Corporation did not receive a response from any of the applicants. As a result, the student included in each application should have had a change in status from free or reduced to paid. However, for two of the applicants, the student was flagged in the system as no response, but the students' statuses were not updated to reflect that each was no longer eligible for free or reduced price meals. Contact Person Responsible for Corrective Action: Lana M. Miller Contact Phone Number and Email Address: Phone Number- 812-689-6282 Email- lmiller@sripley.k12.in.us INDIANA STATE BOARD OF ACCOUNTS 28 Views of Responsible Officials: We concur with the finding. Description of Corrective Action Plan: This finding was a result of a new staff person in the position working with software that was new to her. It was noted by the auditor that the application status was changed to paid in the verification status. The staff person involved did not know that she needed to make another change in the software other than changing the application status. We have discussed with the person responsible for this regarding the needed two-step process to change a student’s status. Additionally, the staff person has set up a process for segregation of duties. A second person will be reviewing the screens after verification changes are made. This person will also sign off on the paper/report to show the second review and segregation of duties. Anticipated Completion Date: Immediately, February 2024
