Prince George's County Public Schools respectfully submits the following corrective action plan for the year ended June 30, 2024. Audit period: June 30, 2024 The findings from the schedule of findings and questioned costs are discussed below. The findings are numbered consistently with the numbers assigned in the schedule. FINDINGS—FEDERAL AWARD PROGRAMS AUDITS U.S. Department of EducationStudent Support and Academic Enrichment Program– Assistance Listing No. 84.424 We recommend that the School system review its procedures to ensure that amounts reported on the SEFA are in accordance with 2 CFR part 200.502 and 510. Explanation of disagreement with audit finding: We agree with the finding in part. As the auditors noted, Grant Number 20157201, ended on 9/30/22. There were additional FY23 invoices and payroll processed to this grant after the grant was closed out by the Grant Accountant. The corrections to remove these expenses, though they caused a net effect of zero, were recorded in fiscal year 2024. The adjustments for $27,799 were mistakenly reported on the fiscal year 2024 SEFA. These additional amounts were never reported in the MSDE AFR system, because as noted, they resulted in net zero change. Reporting in the MSDE AFR system is always done with a report from Oracle, the school system’s financial reporting system, and only actual expenses are reported. In addition, at year end, the full report is reconciled to our Grants Roll Forward Report, which allows us to ensure the correct information is reported for each grant. Action taken in response to finding: The $27,799 will be removed from the FY24 SEFA. In an ongoing effort to ensure that all grants are reported correctly and in line Grant’s Administrator will hold regular meetings (at least quarterly) with the Budget Analyst and/or Grants Accountant assigned to these grant funds. The Grants Accountant will also provide transaction and payroll detail reports to the Grants Administrator on a regular basis for review and correction when necessary. Planned completion date for corrective action plan: March 2025 Contact person(s) responsible for corrective action: Department of the Division of Student Services: Elizabeth Faison, Associate Superintendent of Student Services, Ph.D., NCC, LCPC Grant Financial Management Office: Darrell Haley, Supervising Budget Analyst Claire Taylor, Supervising Grants Accountant, CPA, CGFM, CGMS

The College acknowledges that, while student status change information was being sent to the NSC, it did not have an appropriate process in place to regularly review and reconcile the data received by the NSLDS and information for 2 students was not properly remitted. A correction was made to the existing reconciliation report so that all statuses remitted to the NSLDS are captured accurately and can be reconciled by the Registrar’s Office to the College’s enrollment records. Additionally, the College will adopt a practice of manually updating the NSC after receiving each student status change notification throughout the semester. The Planned Corrective Action will be implemented immediately.

CONDITION: The South Cook Intermediate Service Center #4 had inadequate controls over grant compliance to ensure all grant reports during the fiscal year were timely reported and grant requirements were met. During testing of the South Cook Intermediate Service Center #4’s compliance with the grant requirements, we noted the following: For Public Safety Partnership and Community Policing Grants - • One of 2 (50%) quarterly federal financial reports were submitted 36 days late. • One of 1 (100%) semi-annual performance report was submitted 47 days late. For McKinney-Vento Education for Homeless Children and Youth - • Four of 4 (100%) quarterly expenditure reports and the Grant Accountability and Transparency Act (GATA) reports were submitted but the South Cook Intermediate Service Center #4 was unable to provide proof of submission; therefore, we were unable to determine if the required reports were submitted timely or at all. • South Cook Intermediate Service Center #4 did not formally establish a Community Advisory Group. PLAN: Management will develop more formal and comprehensive grant monitoring procedures that will include a checklist for all the necessary reporting and compliance requirements. Specifically for the Mc-Kinney Vento grant, formal documentation for the established Community Advisory Group will be obtained in consultation with the grantor.

FINDING 2024-001 Name of Responsible Individual: Daniel Arndt, Registrar Corrective Action: Management acknowledges the finding regarding the inaccurate reporting of student data elements under the Program-Level record on the NSLDS website. To address this issue, the University has implemented a corrective action plan that includes updating our reporting frequency and enhancing our data review processes: Updated Reporting Frequency: As of January 2025, the University now includes the non-compulsory terms, summer 1 and winter sessions, in its reporting. Previous institutional practice did not include reporting program level data for these terms given that said terms do not involve federal financial aid. This change ensures that all Program-Level data, regardless of federal financial aid involvement, is accurately reported. Secondary Check Process: Each month, the Compliance Officer will review a sample of 100 students from NSLDS to verify significant data elements, including program enrollment effective dates. After the initial review, the Compliance Officer will summarize the findings and share them with the Associate Registrar and Registrar for a secondary review. Any necessary edits will be made, followed by a review of an additional 25 students to ensure accuracy. We believe these corrective action steps are critical to ensuring accurate reporting and preventing this issue in the future. Anticipated Completion Date: January 31, 2025

Views of Responsible Officials: Historically, the Foundation has submitted all required documents per the grant agreement. GrantSolutions is a newer platform by which all documents must be uploaded. When the final financial reports were submitted, the grant was closed without the performance report and the grant was removed from the dashboard. The performance report was prepared by the deadline, but the grant manager was not aware of the alternative dropdown to upload the file. Moving forward, everyone who has access to GrantSolutions, both in Finance and Development, must acquaint themselves with the site and crosscheck that the required documents are uploaded timely, especially prior to a grant closing.

2024-002 – Return of Title IV (R2T4) Calculation. Auditor Description of Condition and Effect. During our testing of six students with Return of Title IV amounts, we noted that the College did not exclude the correct amount of days for scheduled breaks of five days or more in both the fall 2023 and spring 2024 terms, resulting in the incorrect Return of Title IV calculation for all students tested. As a result of this condition, the students' return of funds calculation was not done correctly and the return of funds back to the federal government was for the incorrect amount. Auditor Recommendation. We recommend the College review the Return of Title IV requirements and implement procedures to ensure the Return of Title IV calculations are using the correct amount of term days and are completed accurately. Corrective Action. This has been noted in setup notes, so the number of days are correct going forward. Responsible Party. Financial Aid Director, Jennifer Stimson. Anticipated Completion Date.

Schedule of Expenditures of Federal Awards (SEFA) Preparation Corrective Action Plan As part of the year-end closing process and in preparation for the audit, UMHS finance department was understaffed and to help in the interim, CLA was hired to add capacity and help with accounting functions for UMHS, including the SEFA. The auditors noted that the SEFA had been provided to them without proper review by the management of UM HS. In response, UM HS reviewed the SEFA for fiscal year 2024. Going forward, UMHS is adding more staff capacity to the finance department and recently hired two new experienced finance team members with knowledge in payroll, AP and procurement. Additionally, UMHS initiated recruitment for a permanent Director of Finance in summer 2024 and the search to hire for this position is open and ongoing. If in the future a third-party consultant or firm is secured by UMHS, the organization will prepare entries, reports, or schedules for UMHS management and will thoroughly review and approve all items to ensure accuracy prior to submission to the auditors. Timing for Implementation: Immediate and Ongoing Person(s) Responsible: Executive Director, Director of Finance, or Other Designee

Reconciliations and Material Adjustments Corrective Action Plan Umatilla Morrow Head Start, Inc. recently added capacity and experience to the finance department by hiring two new staff members, a Payroll Specialist and an AP and Procurement Specialist. In addition, best practices and reconciliation timelines and guidance are being captured in financial policies and procedures being updated at this time. UMHS has also implemented new software tools that will assist in automating the department, providing additional time for staff members to implement a monthly review that includes reconciliations and tracking. This "internal auditing" process is relatively new to the department and will add a layer of accountability and accuracy in the recording and processing of the organization's financial activity. In addition, UMHS initiated recruitment for a permanent Director of Finance in summer 2024 and the search to hire for this position is open and ongoing. To supplement and support the current staff, UMHS will continue to provide additional training and guidance to the finance team to stay ahead of changes to federal and state guidelines, and to build on the knowledge and experience of the team. Adding a permanent Director of Finance will be essential as that staff member will be a member of the Senior Leadership Team and working in supporting and staffing the monthly Finance Committee meetings and supporting the UMHS Board of Directors' Treasurer. UMHS Senior Leadership Team will review and approve year-end financial schedules being provided to the auditors, as well as provide additional oversight and approval of year-end entries and closing processes. Timing for Implementation: Immediate and Ongoing Person(s) Responsible: Executive Director, Director of Finance, or Designee
