November 20, 2025, U.S. Department of Education Marshall Public Schools respectfully submits the following Corrective Action Plan for the year ended June 30, 2025.Contact information for the individual responsible for the corrective action: Caleb Pete, Superintendent, Marshall Public Schools Independent Public Accounting Finn: Gerding, Korte & Chitwood, P.C., 723 Main Street Boonville, MO 65233 Audit Period: Year ended June 30, 2025 The findings from the June 30, 2025, Schedule of Findings and Questioned Costs are discussed below. The findings are numbered consistently with the numbers assigned in the schedule. Significant Deficiency 2025-001 Child Nutrition Cluster Recommendation: \Ve recommend that fund balances should be monitored to ensure that balances remain io line with child nutrition compliance requirements. Action Taken: The Marshall Public School District has been working to utilize excess food service funds in an appropriate and timely manner. Recently, these funds supported significant cooler and freezer replacements and repaiTs, including work already completed in the new 51 kitchen at our Intermediate School. Additional units were repaired or replaced in the fall of 2025. The final remaining capital items include a newly purchased distribution vehicle for mobile meal delivery to sites without kitchens and distribution of commodities delivered to a central site. There will be an additional cooler to be acquired before the end of the 2025 fiscal year for our newly constructed distribution site, as well as other costs at that site for completion of the distribution facility. These purchases support operations in our new distribution building, where commodities are delivered, stored, and distributed from as needed throughout the year. Looking ahead, the district plans to replace movable supplies and equipment throughout the 2025-26 school year. Specifically, we are preparing to add new food service lines with additional points of sale to improve efficiency and decrease wait times, as well as purchase tbc associated POS licenses. We will also upgrade selected appliances and cabinetry to modernize and improve efficiency in kitchens located in older buildings around the district. In addition, as needed or upon request, we intend to provide further professional development opportunities for our food service staff. Collectively, these actions will ensure that no excess funds remain in the food service account by the end of the current fiscal year.

FINDING 2025-002: LATE RETURN OF TITLE IV FUNDS We concur with the finding and will implement procedures to ensure that, in the future, Title IV refunds are made in accordance with the federal regulations. The institution has implemented the following corrective measures: • A strengthened reconciliation process has been established between the Student Accounts, Financial Services, and the Registrar’s departments. This process ensures that student enrollment changes are communicated in real time and that Title IV funds are returned promptly upon the institution’s determination of a withdrawal or cancellation. • Formalized timelines and internal monitoring controls have been created to ensure returns are completed within the regulatory timeframes. • Staff cross-training has been implemented to minimize the impact of personnel changes on the execution of Title IV responsibilities. • Periodic reviews will be conducted each term to verify timely processing of R2T4 calculations and returns.

Finding 2025-002 Name of Responsible Individual: Noemi Sarrion, Director of Financial Aid Corrective Action Plan: Management acknowledges that for one student, the required federal direct loan disbursement notification was not sent within the required timeframe. After the parent’s PLUS loan was denied in April 2025, the student was offered an additional unsubsidized loan, which was accepted on 5/7/2025. The manually generated notification for the 5/8/2025 disbursement was inadvertently missed being sent out. We believe this oversight was an isolated incident due to the OFA’s unusually demanding April/May as noted in the previous finding. To mitigate this issue going forward, the OFA will remove the need for manual intervention by implementing an automated notification process utilizing the built-in scheduler functionality in PowerFAIDS. Anticipated Completion Date: May 1, 2026

Finding 2025-001 Name of Responsible Individual: Noemi Sarrion, Director of Financial Aid Corrective Action Plan: Management agrees with the finding that the estimated Cost of Attendance (COA) for the summer term was calculated incorrectly for five students. Because the summer term includes multiple sessions, the COA multi-step programming process in PowerFAIDS, the College’s financial aid management software, including the review of COA selection metrics, are manual. In April 2025, the College migrated its ERP software and PowerFAIDS to cloud-based platforms. This transaction required significant time from Office of Financial Aid (OFA) staff to test system functionality and validate migrated data to ensure a smooth go-live. As these efforts coincided with summer COA programming, the capacity for thorough review and comprehensive functional testing of summer COA setup was reduced. Going forward, the OFA will assign a staff member, separate from the individual handling COA programming, to review the COA selection metrics. In addition, the OFA will evaluate the potential of automating COA programming processes. Anticipated Completion Date: May 1, 2026

2025-001 – Suspension and Debarment Auditor Description of Condition and Effect. For the four vendors selected for testing, the District was unable to provide evidence that the vendors were not suspended, debarred, or otherwise excluded at the time they were engaged to provide goods or services. As a result of this condition, the District was exposed to an increased risk that disbursements of federal awards could be made to vendors or subrecipients suspended or debarred by the federal government. Auditor Recommendation. We recommend that the District review its written policies and procedures over federal awards with employees responsible for grant compliance to ensure that they are being followed consistently. Responsible Person: Kimberly Worden, Business Manager Corrective Action. The District will implement a process to ensure that, for any covered procurement or nonprocurement transaction, documentation is maintained confirming suspension and debarment verification was completed prior to executing the transaction. Anticipated Completion Date: June 30, 2026

Child Nutrition Cluster – Assistance Listing No. 10.553 and 10.555 Recommendation: The auditors recommend that the District review its internal controls and implement a procedure to ensure all reports required under the grant have a designated reviewer that is different from the individual responsible for preparing, even when there are gaps of coverage in preparer and reviewer positions, and that the review and approval happens prior to submitting the reports to the granting agency. Explanation of disagreement with audit finding: There is no disagreement with the audit finding. Action taken in response to finding: The District acknowledges the oversight in the separation of duties for preparation and reviewing of reports. Corrective measures have been implemented to require assignment of a preparer different from the approver before finalizing the report. The procedures for submitting monthly claims have been updated to include submitting the report to the Finance Director for review and approval prior to submission. The Finance Director has added a monthly calendar reminder to review claim submission reports as part of the internal control process. Name(s) of the contact person(s) responsible for corrective action: Steven Van Wyhe Planned completion date for corrective action plan: Immediately

This finding is due to the District not having the proper controls in place to prevent, detect, or correct an incorrect monthly meal claim. The month that had the incorrect meal claim had an incorrect subtotal of meals disbursed which resulted in the meal claim being submitted for less than it should have been. There is a chance that the claim was done for the correct amount, but the supporting documentation shows that the District claimed less than they were allowed to. The District is going to ensure that all totals are subtotaled correctly in the future and double checked before the claim request is made. The persons responsible for the corrective action are Jack Ledford, the Food Service Director and Katrina Bontekoe, the Business Manager. The anticipated completion date of the corrective action plan is immediate. The plan for monitoring adherence is the Food Service Director will ensure that funds requested for meal reimbursements agree to total meals served.

Corrective Action Plan for Federal Award Audit Finding 2025-001 Finding Title: Allowable Costs/Cost Principles – Improper expenditure recognition Federal Program: Title II, Part A, Teacher & Principal Training and Recruiting Assistant Listing Number: 84.367A Federal Agency Name: U.S. Department of Education Passed-Through Agency Name: Texas Department of Education Type of Finding: Significant Deficiency in Internal Control over Compliance Description of Corrective Action The District acknowledges the internal control system did not timely detect the improper recognition of expenditures in the incorrect fiscal period. It is important to emphasize that the expenditures identified were ultimately removed from the current year activity and were excluded from the year-end reimbursement request. The District commits to strengthening its year-end closing procedures and providing comprehensive training to address the noted deficiency in monitoring and review. The following actions will be taken: Mandatory Staff Training on Expenditure Cut-off and Accruals The District will develop and implement mandatory, targeted training for all personnel responsible for processing, recording, reconciling, and reviewing federal grant expenditures, with a specific focus on year-end cut-off procedures and proper expense recognition (accruals versus prepaid expenses). Implementation of Formal Grant Expenditure Cut-off Review Procedure A formalized closing procedure will be implemented for all federal awards, ensuring a mandatory, documented review of expenditures and payables near the fiscal year-end. Persons Responsible Timothy Momanyi, Chief Financial Officer Thania Gonzalez, Assistant Superintendent of Business and Finance Anticipated Completion Date The initial staff training will occur by May 31, 2026. The full implementation of the new procedures, with documented adherence by all responsible staff, will be complete by June 30, 2026, ensuring the new controls are fully operational before the close of the 2025-2026 fiscal year.

Finding 2025-002: Student Financial Aid Cluster – Reporting View of Responsible Officials and Planned Corrective Action: Root Cause Errors occurred because the data file transmitted from Anthology to COD did not consistently include the correct student information. It is not yet clear whether the issue arises from configuration problems, system design limitations, or both. Planned Corrective Action and Responsible Officials • Procedure review and update. The Financial Aid Office will review and revise procedures to ensure accurate, timely, and complete reporting to COD, including pre-submission and post-submission checks. • System-to-COD file analysis with Anthology. In partnership with Anthology's support and managed services teams, the College will: o o o Analyze how COD reporting files are created within Anthology. Identify why certain student data elements are not being transmitted correctly. Implement configuration changes or other system-level fixes to ensure accurate and complete reporting. • Enhanced manual validation until issues are resolved. If the file creation process is determined to be working "as designed" but still does not meet regulatory expectations, Financial Aid staff will perform manual review and correction of COD files prior to submission, and will monitor error and rejection reports from COD for follow-up. As with Finding 2025-001, the Vice President for Student Affairs and the Director of Financial Aid share responsibility for ensuring these corrective actions are implemented and sustained commencing on the date set forth above.

Condition: The School District's controls did not prevent, or detect and correct in a timely manner, duplicative costs charged to the grant. Planned Corrective Action: The District annually processes thousands of supplemental payments for Home Visits. The audit found only 5 individual payments were duplicated. The duplication was caused by human error during an internal staff transition within the Family and Community Engagement (FACE) department. This led the new manager to incorrectly report employee home visit logs twice. The FACE team will add internal controls during staff transitions to ensure documentation is not duplicated. Contact person responsible for corrective action: Jeremy Vidito, CFO Anticipated Completion Date: January 1, 2026

Condition: Costs charged to ALN 97.036 – Disaster Grants: Public Assistance were also charged to ALN 84.425 - Education Stabilization Fund (Elementary and Secondary School Emergency Relief - "ESSER") in prior fiscal years, indicating potential duplication of expenditures across federal programs. Planned Corrective Action: The District applied for reimbursement of potentially eligible COVID expenditures in 2022. Per an April 5, 2022 FEMA memo “FEMA Continues Funding to Support the Safe Operations of Schools”, school districts could apply for reimbursement for ESSER funded expenditures, and then upon approval of application shift the funds to general fund. “Schools and school districts may utilize FEMA Public Assistance to receive full reimbursement for costs for the purposes above. Schools and districts may also use Elementary and Secondary School Emergency Relief (ESSER) funding from the U.S. Department of Education as a way to provide the up-front cost for the above health and safety measures, and later seek reimbursement through the FEMA Public Assistance process. For example, a local education agency (LEA) may use ESSER funds for costs that may ultimately be covered by FEMA; however, once it receives funds from FEMA for those costs, it must reimburse the ESSER grant account.” FEMA provided District award notification for COVID testing in December 2024 and January 2025, by this time the ESSER grant had closed on September 30, 2024 and the final expenditure reports for ESSER had been submitted to MDE in November 2024. Therefore the District could not complete the allowable general fund swaps. The District notified Michigan Department of Education and Michigan State Police of the timing issue. Upon request from MI State Police, the District provided documentation that available general funds were available to conduct the swaps if the FEMA approval had been received in a timely manner. Contact person responsible for corrective action: Jeremy Vidito, CFO Anticipated Completion Date: Requested documentation was submitted to Michigan State Police on November 7, 2025

2025-001 REPORTING Type of Finding: Noncompliance (Other Matter), significant deficiency in internal control Condition/Context: The District did not accurately support the student counts reported within it’s impact aid application for student enrollment Criteria: Section 7003 (OMB No. 1810-0687) Each year an LEA must submit this application, which provides the following information: counts of federally connected children in various categories, membership and average daily attendance data, and information on expenditures for children with disabilities. Effect: The District was not in compliance with the reporting requirement. The application noted a student count of 1,055, and the support provided denoted a student count of 1,062. Cause: The District did not have the adequate review procedures in place to ensure that student enrollment were accurately reported and verified. Corrective Action Plan: Management has developed procedures to ensure student enrollment data is maintained to support accurate reporting, and the data is reviewed and approved. Planned completion date for corrective action plan: For the period ending June 30, 2025. Name of the contact person responsible for corrective action: Clementina Carlyle, SFO, Chief Financial Officer
