The district is currently working with the Construction company to produce the wage determination records and to revise the contract documents to include the clauses required by Davis-Bacon. The district is working with legal to develop a bid document that includes language related to Davis-Bacon and includes all the required clauses so that future bid awards will be compliant with federal law.

The Finance Department will regularly review any request for construction projects prior to the approval to ensure that documentation will be in place to support federal law.

Box 97039 Redmond, WA 98052 (425) 936-1478 Corrective action the auditee plans to take in response to the finding: The Lake Washington School District does not concur with the audit finding and the $3.5 million in questioned costs issued by the Washington State Auditor?s office. The District met all inventory and audit requirements for compliance stated in FCC bulletin/order #21-58. The District determined that staff and students needed district devices that were sufficient to consistently facilitate remote education and support, thereby identifying the unmet needs to justify the ECF applications. We expended all funds for allowable costs, and costs were reasonable and necessary for students and staff with unmet need. All devices and equipment was checked out by name and ID through our district inventory system. The district did not claim funding for any devices that were undistributed. The District did not take lightly our obligation to follow the established rules and guidance available to us and acted in good faith in accordance with the provided FTC requirements for ECF funding. See the district response to the finding for additional explanation. Anticipated date to complete the corrective action: N/A

2022-001 MATERIAL WEAKNESS Condition: The District's internal control system did not prevent or detect material errors in the financial accounting records, which are utilized to prepare the District's financial statements. The District failed to transfer dedicated maintenance and operation millage revenues of $725,843 from the general fund to the capital projects fund which is included in the other aggregate funds. The financial statements were subsequently corrected by adjusting entries during audit fieldwork. District Response: The District concurs with this finding.

The District will ensure due care is exercised to ensure accurate and reliable financial reporting. The point of contact for this would be Kelvin Gragg, Rose Smith, and Ashley Granberry. This Correction should be corrected on or before June 30, 2022. 2022-002 PAYROLL EXPENDITURES Condition: In our sample of payroll expenditures, we identified undocumented compensation of $7,685 and improperly awarded incentive pay of $4,700 paid from Federal funds without proper documentation or requirements. District Response: The District acknowledges the finding and would take this opportunity to explain the circumstances surrounding this material weakness. While not an excuse, it in part explains the conditions under which these instances of undocumented compensation occurred. The District has been impacted by multiple staff changes in the Business Office. The District has employed and/or contracted for payroll services with four (4) persons and for the role of Business Manager with three (3) persons just during this calendar year alone. The District has taken steps to stabilize the workforce in the Business Office. In addition to addressing the human capital issues, the District will provide additional monitoring support to ensure the implementation of the existing internal controls over program expenditures. The district has already taken steps to recoup compensation that was improperly awarded and paid. As recommended, the district will contact the Arkansas Division of Elementary and Secondary (DESE) for guidance regarding this matter. The district began addressing these is July 2022 and have since made the necessary changes as of September 2022. The point of contact for this would be Rose Smith, Ashley Granberry, Lucretia James and Kelvin Gragg.
