Context: The School Corporation was required to submit four Annual Data Reports to the Indiana Department of Education (IDOE) each year during the audit period to meet federal reporting requirements for ESSER grant awards. We noted that the ESSER I, ESSER III and CrossAct amounts reported on the Year 3 report ($3,070, $745,718 and 119 employees respectively) did not agree to the underlying expenditure and employee records ($7,062, $754,729 and 207 employees respectively). Additionally, we noted that the ESSER II, ESSER III and CrossAct amounts reported on the Year 4 report ($452,658, $117,344 and 117 employees respectively) did not agree to the underlying expenditure and employee records ($62,794, $459,556 and 207 employees respectively). Of the eight reports the School Corporation was required to submit during the audit period, auditable evidence of review and approval of these reports was only provided for two. Views of Responsible Officials and Planned Corrective Actions: Management agrees with the finding and has prepared a corrective action plan.The Treasurer will work with the Grants Administrator to ensure that submissions are checked by both positions. Files will be kept with all documentation relating to the grant. A better understanding of the grant will result from regular meetings with the Treasurer and Grants Administrator to ensure accuracy.

Views of Responsible Officials and Planned Corrective Action: DHS concurs with this finding. Since June 2023, DYS has made multiple changes to improve monitoring of suspension and reinstatement of Medicaid eligibility for incarcerated juveniles. For juveniles with SSI Medicaid, the Social Security Administration (SSA) is responsible for suspending Medicaid coverage. All incarcerations for cases noted in the findings involving SSI Medicaid were reported timely to SSA by the agency. DYS closely monitors these cases and continues to send closure requests to SSA until the cases are closed out. SSI cases account for 76% of the total questioned costs noted in the finding. The Division of Medical Services (DMS) implemented an MMIS change in September 2024 that automatically updates member profiles to accurately reflect incarceration dates. This change will resolve the remaining deficiencies noted in the finding. All payments noted as questioned costs were capitated payments made for the PASSE, Dental Managed Care, and NET programs. The agency currently has a reconciliation process for all three programs that identifies payments made after the member’s incarceration date that should be recouped. Any uncollected overpayments noted in the findings will be recouped as part of the next reconciliation process.

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

Finding 2024-002-Internal Control Over Compliance Needs Improvement-Eligibility Condition It appears that there was not a representative check of tenant file and waiting list functions by a qualified second party.
