Unified School District #446 Independence, Kansas Corrective Action Plan March 3, 2026 Cognizant or Oversight Agency for Audit Unified School District #446 respectfully submits the following corrective action plan for the year ended June 30, 2025. Name and address of independent public accounting firm: Jarred, Gilmore & Phillips, PA, P.O. Box 779, 1815 S Santa Fe, Chanute, Kansas 66720. Audit period: Year ended June 30, 2025 The findings from the March 3, 2026 schedule of findings and questioned costs are discussed below. The findings are numbered consistently with the numbers assigned in the schedule. Finding: 2025-001 –Reporting Condition: During our testing of meal reporting, we tested two months of meal report claims submitted to the State and traced to individual count sheets per school. It was discovered that on one day, eligible student meals were overreported on the claim for reimbursement. Recommendation: Policies and procedures should be written to provide internal control over meal reporting. We recommend the District establish a review process, such as having another individual review count sheets and compare them to the number of meals submitted, to ensure all meals submitted for reimbursement are for the correct number of meals. Action Taken: We concur with the recommendation and since the 2025 fiscal audit took place, we have updated review procedures to ensure that all meal reports are reviewed to ensure that they are being properly reported. Anticipated Complete Date: November 11, 2025 Should the Oversight Agency for Audit have questions regarding this plan, please contact Gina Godinez, Director of Finance, at (620) 332-1800.

Condition: The audit identified instances in which enrollment status changes for withdrawn students were not reported to the National Student Loan Data System (NSLDS) within the required 60-day timeframe and in some cases the withdrawal date reported did not reflect the student’s actual Last Date of Attendance (LDA). Cause: The discrepancies occurred because the academic term end date was used instead of the student’s actual Last Date of Attendance for certain withdrawn students. In addition, in limited cases enrollment status changes for students who did not return for a subsequent term were not reported within the required 60-day window due to the timing of non-returning student reporting cycles. Corrective Action Plan: Sauk Valley Community College will implement revised procedures and additional monitoring controls to ensure that enrollment reporting to NSLDS complies with federal requirements. The College submits enrollment reporting through the National Student Clearinghouse, which transmits enrollment data to NSLDS on the College’s behalf. The College utilizes an internal system to generate enrollment reporting files based on institutional enrollment and withdrawal data. The Registrar reviews the file prior to transmission to the National Student Clearinghouse for submission to NSLDS. Enrollment reporting is currently submitted on a monthly basis. To address the reporting discrepancies identified in the audit, the College will implement the following corrective actions: 1. Accurate Withdrawal Date Reporting Procedures will be updated to ensure that the effective withdrawal date reported to NSLDS reflects the student’s actual Last Date of Attendance (LDA) recorded in institutional records rather than the academic term end date or administrative processing date. 2. Monthly Reconciliation Process The Registrar and Financial Aid Office will perform a monthly reconciliation of institutional withdrawal records to NSLDS enrollment reporting data to confirm that enrollment status changes and withdrawal dates have been reported accurately and within the required reporting timeframe. 3. Monitoring of Potential Unofficial Withdrawals Students who receive all “F” or “W” grades will be reviewed as potential unofficial withdrawals to ensure that the correct Last Date of Attendance is identified and reported when applicable. 4. Monitoring of Non-Returning Students Students who do not return for the summer or fall term following the spring semester will be reviewed by the end of June to determine whether a withdrawal status must be reported to NSLDS. The College will follow the National Student Clearinghouse guidance regarding non-required term enrollment reporting to support accurate status reporting. 5. Ongoing Compliance Oversight Financial Aid and the Registrar will work collaboratively to review enrollment reporting data on an ongoing basis to ensure compliance with federal reporting requirements, including the 60-day reporting requirement for enrollment status changes. 6. Staff Training and Procedural Reinforcement The Registrar and the Financial Aid Office will review NSLDS enrollment reporting guidance and applicable federal requirements with relevant staff to reinforce proper reporting procedures and ensure consistent understanding of withdrawal date reporting requirements and timelines. These procedures will provide additional oversight to ensure that withdrawal dates are reported accurately and that enrollment status changes are transmitted to NSLDS within the required timeframe. Responsible Officials: Jennifer Schultz, Dean of Student Services, Lizzie Harper, Director of Financial Assistance, and Meagan Rivera, Registrar Planned Implementation Date: The revised procedures will be implemented immediately, beginning with the current enrollment reporting cycle, and will continue as an ongoing compliance control.
The institution acknowledges the reporting discrepancy related to Spring 2025 enrollment reporting.

The institution acknowledges the reporting discrepancy related to Spring 2025 enrollment reporting. While the final Spring 2025 enrollment file should have been submitted prior to the start of the Summer 2025 term, it was instead submitted on May 29, 2025, after the Summer term began on May 20, 2025. As a result, the file was processed with summer enrollment data rather than final spring enrollment data, including the appropriate graduation statuses. Although a Graduation (DegreeVerify) file was submitted on May 15, 2025, this file updates the National Student Clearinghouse (NSC) degree database for verification purposes only and does not update the enrollment database used for reporting to NSLDS unless specific services are enabled. At the time, the institution was not participating in NSC’s “G from Degree” functionality, which would have facilitated the automatic application of graduation statuses to the enrollment database. Additionally, delays and inaccuracies in Fall 2025 First of Term reporting (including incorrect term begin dates in files submitted on August 25 and September 15, 2025) further delayed the accurate reporting of raduated students. The corrected file was successfully processed on October 14, 2025. During Fall 2025, the institution was also engaged in FVT/GE reporting corrections. These corrections triggered system-generated enrollment updates, which ultimately resulted in the reporting of affected graduates to NSLDS; however, this occurred later than required. The institution recognizes that timely and accurate enrollment reporting is critical to ensuring that borrowers do not incorrectly enter repayment or lose in-school deferment status. Corrective Action Plan To prevent recurrence, the institution has implemented the following corrective actions: 1. Established Reporting Calendar and Internal Deadlines A formal enrollment reporting calendar has been implemented requiring: o End-of-Term files to be submitted after final grades are posted and degrees conferred, but prior to the start of the next term. o First-of-Term files for the fall and spring semesters must be submitted to NSC no later than three (3) business days before month-end. This timeline allows sufficient time to identify and resolve errors prior to NSLDS reporting. For the summer semester, First-of- Term file submission may extend through mid-June, which is acceptable given that student enrollment during a summer term is not required. 2. Implementation of NSC “G from Degree” Functionality As of February 11, 2026, the institution is actively utilizing NSC’s “G from Degree” service to ensure that graduation records submitted through DegreeVerify are evaluated and, when eligible, automatically applied to the enrollment database. 3. Review of “G Not Applied” Reports A required reconciliation process has been established: o After each DegreeVerify submission, staff will review the “G Not Applied” report. o Any students not automatically assigned a graduation status will be manually reviewed and, if appropriate, reported correctly on the next enrollment file. 4. Data Validation Controls Prior to Submission The Registrar’s Office has implemented a pre-submission validation checklist that includes: o Verification of term begin and end dates o Confirmation of degree conferral status o Review of enrollment status accuracy Files will not be submitted until all validation steps are completed. 5. Monitoring and Quality Assurance o Enrollment reporting submissions will be logged and reviewed each term for timeliness and accuracy. o Any errors identified will be documented and addressed through corrective follow-up. 6. Staff Training and Documentation Staff responsible for enrollment reporting have received updated training on: o NSC reporting requirements o NSLDS timing expectations o Use of NSC tools including DegreeVerify and “G from Degree” Written procedures have been updated and standardized.

Bank Reconcilations, Interfund Balances Reconciliations and Balance Sheet Account Reconcilations, Year ended June 30, 2025. Auditor's Recommendation: We recommend that the District prepare bank reconciliations soon after the end of each month. As part of the reconcilation process the District's general ledger cash balances should be compared against the bank reconciliation, with any differences being immediately investigated. Once complete, the bank reconcilation should be reviewed by someone independent of the preparer. In addition, a worksheet should be developed which reonciles interfund balances on a monthly basis. Any differences in the reconcilation process should be immediately investigated. We recommend that asset and liability accounts be reconciled on a regular and routine basis. Further, reconciliations should be reviewed by management to ensure their accurate and timely completion. District's Response: The District will ensure that bank reconciliations are prepared in a timely manner and verify that balances within the general ledger cash accounts agree to the bank reconciliation, along with ensuring that interfund balances reconcile and that balance sheet asset and liabilities are reconciled to supporting documentation.

Recommendation: The University should review its policies and procedures around COD reporting to ensure students’ information is reported timely and accurately. Explanation of disagreement with audit finding: There is no disagreement with the audit finding. Action taken in response to finding: • Implementation of a monthly process where the Associate Director of Financial Aid Technical Operations will pull and review, on the 15th of each month, the Pell Reconciliation Report from the Common Origination and Disbursement (COD) website to ensure timely and accurate reporting to COD regarding Pell disbursements. • In addition to the Pell Reconciliation Report, the School Account Statement (SAS) would then be shared with the Disbursement Accounting Manager in Accounts Payable to compare their internal student disbursement records with the U.S. Department of Education’s official data, ensuring funds drawn down match those awarded. • This process will ensure that disbursement reviews occur more frequently and within the 15-day window from any given disbursements. It will also help identify discrepancies in student Pell Grant and Direct Loan amounts to maintain compliance and provide a consistent approach that minimizes risk of error or delay in disbursements.

2025-001 Student Financial Aid Cluster – Assistance Listing Numbers 84.063 and 84.268 In general, Cheyney University continues its trajectory of cross-functional and interrelated institutional improvements, particularly those impacting the National Student Loan Data System (NSLDS) that is reported through National Student Clearinghouse (NSC). Cited in the CLA Single Audit, nonetheless, are instances of inaccurate, late, or not reported enrollment and program level data to NSLDS. This response is intended to explain these reporting deficiencies and offer a corrective plan of action including timelines. Point Of Contact: • Dr. Denise Pearson, Provost – dpearson@cheyney.edu • Stephanie Stevens, Associate Registrar – sstevens@cheyney.edu • Jean Dixon, Associate Registrar – jedixon@cheyney.edu Explanations: This section represents Cheyney University’s effort to explain the causes for CLA Single Audit finding. Although the reporting deficiencies span multiple years, it is instructive to note that they are attributed to various and differing circumstances. While Cheyney University was on HCM2, the delay in Claims processing impacted the reporting in Common Origination and Disbursement (COD) and the reporting to NSLDS. The delays in approved claims caused an impact on NSLDS postings for enrollment reporting. This required Cheyney University administration to transfer from NSC to manual enrollment entry into NSLDS. The idea was to manually enter students’ records in NSLDS so that students’ enrollment could be reported more quickly. This is referenced in Single Audit Report, June 30, 2022; page 132. Cheyney is acutely focused on working toward compliance with NSLDS reporting requirements. Through this lens, it was discovered that during the 2024-2025 conversion to the Ellucian Banner system certain decisions were made regarding the conversion of student academic histories. During the research of errors and warning records received from the NSC upload, it was determined that program level information was not properly ported over to the new system. Cheyney University is pursuing a corrective course of action to improve this data to ensure accuracy in reporting. In May 2025, Cheyney University and NSC amended its agreement resulting in a shift in reporting student enrollment and program level data back to NSC from NSLDS that resulted in an additional delay in reporting. Due to these circumstances, the university dedicated significant resources to building capacity and capability in the Office of the Registrar, the functional area responsible for NSLDS reporting. These resources are being deployed in a variety of ways as noted in the Corrective Action Plan below. Corrective Action Plan Overview: 1. Hired a season University Registrar with superior, proven, leadership and technical skills. Emphasis has been placed on performance metrics that align with operational goals and objectives. STATUS: Anticipated March 2026. 2. Targeted professional development for Office of the Registrar and other staff including Banner training, NSC/NSLDS Reporting, and other dependencies. STATUS: Ongoing 3. Establishment of a dedicated compliance unit to support the university’s policies, standards, and procedures ecosystem. STATUS: Completed December 2025. 4. Hired a dedicated Chief Information and Technology Officer (as opposed to the use of third-party vendors). STATUS: Completed, March 2026. 5. Prioritized strengthening communication and collaboration with other enrollment management areas to establish cross-functional responsibilities and timelines (e.g., financial aid, admissions, and bursar offices). STATUS: Ongoing. Key Performance Indicators: During the Spring and Fall 2026 semesters: 1. The University Registrar will show outcomes-driven leadership practices that foster improved departmental performance, including audit citations. 2. Registrar and adjacent staff will demonstrate comprehensive capability and capacity in all areas related to NSC and NSLDS operations and reporting on a timely schedule. An organizational calendar is being developed to ensure this goal is met. 3. Utilizing the NSLDS instructional guide, train the Registrar and adjacent staff to improve the knowledge of the step-by-step process procedures for enrollment reporting, error correction, warning management, and internal audit review of NSLDS files. 4. Develop NSC instructional guide on reporting, error and warning management, and submission of monthly reporting data. 5. The Director of Policy and Compliance will collaborate with the Office of the Provost and Registrar Office staff to create and maintain a policy, procedures, and standards environment that supports operational excellence and efficiency (including more timely and accurate reporting). 6. The Chief Information and Technology Officer will conduct a comprehensive assessment of technology needs in the Office of the Registrar, including outcomes driven recommendations. 7. The Provost will establish Office of the Registrar protocols for collaboration with the Office of Communications to reinforce clarity, consistency, and transparency in all related matters. 8. The University Registrar will demonstrate that all staff have the requisite knowledge and skills to effectively mitigate future reporting deficiencies. Cheyney University acknowledges and affirms that this corrective action will be implemented, assessed, and become a standard operating procedure.

Recommendation: The University should review its reporting procedures to ensure that students’ statuses are timely reported to NSLDS as required by Federal regulations. Explanation of disagreement with audit finding: There is no disagreement with the audit finding. Action taken in response to finding: Increased frequency of NSC Submissions. Completing the error files returned to NSC quickly within the first 1-4 days of receipt after sending the files back. • We met with another PASSHE school on 4/22/25 and they helped us to strategize ensuring we meet the 60-day window for withdrawals by individually updating the withdrawal information in NSC on a weekly basis using our withdrawal report to identify each student withdrawal between our regular submissions. (Because we met with them so late in the audit cycle, we were not able to correct course for FY25 in time.) • We have adjusted our degree verification timeline, ensuring that the large bulk of our degree verification submission to NSC is completed within 2 weeks of the end of the graduating semester, ensuring that the bulk of our graduating students are moved from NSC to NSLDS sooner. • We updated our change of major policy to ensure that students are not changing majors after the end of the drop/add period. Prohibiting mid-semester major changes for the current semester will greatly reduce the number of status change errors reflected in NSC. This cleaner approach ensures less risk of error or delay related to volume. This was formalized with KU Policy ACA-029, approved at Senate on 9/4/25.

COMMONWEALTH OF PUERTO RICO AUTONOMOUS MUNICIPALITY OF CAYEY Corrective Action Plan For the Fiscal Year Ended June 30, 2025 Auditor Report: Report on Compliance and Internal Control in Accordance with Government Auditing Standards and OMB Super Circular Uniform Guidance Audit Period: July 1, 2024 – June 30, 2025 Fiscal Year: 2024-2025 Principal Executive: Hon. Ronaldo Ortiz Velázquez, Mayor Contact Person: Mrs. Eunice Díaz, Finance and Budget Director Phone: (787)738-3211 Original Finding Number: 2025-004 Statement of Concurrence or Non concurrence: We concur with the finding. Corrective Action: During the testing of reports, the Quarterly Progress Reports of five (5) projects, corresponding to two (2) quarters of fiscal year 2024-2025, were evaluated. It was found that in two (2) projects, the quarterly reports did not match the accounting records or the project documentation. Therefore, for the purposes of this audit, the municipal accounting controls and procedures did not ensure that the reported information was accurate, up-to-date, and fully reconciled with the financial records. In light of the above, the reports will be reconciled with the accounting records, and the discrepancies found will be identified, documented, and adjusted in the system where the error originated, as appropriate. Furthermore, from this point forward, once the Quarterly Reports (QPR) are issued, a copy must be sent to the Program Accountant, the Finance Director, and myself for validation and reconciliation prior to official filing, thus preventing situations like this to occur. This process will form part of the internal control required to ensure that the reported information is accurate, current, complete, and consistent with the accounting records, in accordance with applicable federal requirements. Implementation Date: From March 2026. Full implementation is expected in fiscal year 2026-2027. Responsible Person: Mrs. Natasha Vázquez Federal Programs Director

Student Financial Assistance Cluster – Assistance Listing No. 84.033, 84.268, 84.063 & 84.007 Recommendation: We recommend the University review current processes for reporting to NSLDS and implement procedures to ensure submissions are reported accurately and timely. Explanation of disagreement with audit finding: There is no disagreement with the audit finding. Reason for 2024-004 Finding’s Recurrence: Related to case identified where a corrected Last Date of Attendance (Effective Date in Banner System on SFAWDRL input by the Financial Aid Office for a fully online student during the Unofficial Withdrawal [post term] Return of Title IV processing) was not carried over to Status Date in Banner maintained by the Registrar’s Office and to NSC/NSLDS so that all are reporting the accurate Last Date of Attendance, the University found that corrected dates during the semester aligned and were being reported to NSC/NSLDS in a timely manner, but that corrected dates after end of term were not being transmitted to NSC and NSLDS. Related to case identified of not reporting Graduated status to NSLDS in a timely manner: Typically, it takes approximately 2–3 weeks after commencement to clear degree audits and begin awarding degrees, as commencement occurs before final grades are released. The Graduate-only upload to NSC was completed on May 21, 2025.However, due to limitations with the National Student Clearinghouse (NSC) system, which does not accept multiple awards being posted simultaneously, we received an error report affecting approximately 60% of our graduates. Records included in this report must be corrected manually, which is a time-consuming process. We actively work to correct these records as quickly as possible within our current human resource limitations. The corrected error file related to the 2025-002 finding was uploaded to NSC on July 11, 2025, and sent to NSLDS on 7/12/2025. Action taken in response to finding: The University reviewed its procedures and implemented steps in our Unofficial Withdrawal [post term] Return of Title IV business process to include an email communication plan between the Financial Aid staff and the Office of the Registrar along with documentation sharing and added review steps to ensure the post-term corrected Last Date of Attendance is updated in all affected institutional and federal systems in a timely manner. The Office of the Registrar will correct errors returned from NSC within four weeks of receiving the file. To ensure this task is completed in a timely manner, we will allocate additional human resources as needed.

Student Financial Assistance Cluster – Assistance Listing No. 84.268 Recommendation: We recommend the University review reporting processes to ensure all students that require exit counseling receive it in a timely manner. Explanation of disagreement with audit finding: There is no disagreement with the audit finding. Action taken in response to finding: The University reviewed its procedures and reporting processes and added calendar reminders to run queries around our census day each term (since the case identified in the audit was due to a timing issue of a student’s aid period revision and when our automated Exit counseling processes are turned on) to find students who were missed by our automated processes for the adding of EXIT tracking requirement and ensuring timely notifications to the students.

Finding 2025-004 Name of Responsible Individual: Cinnamon Bradley, Assoc Dean Student Affairs Corrective Action: The Registrar prepares the program calendars with input from the programs on an annual basis. MSM has a diversity of programs with different start and end dates. We understand that this needs to be accurately reflected in our calendars and in the Banner system or other enrollment platform. Academic calendars will be reviewed by the Registrar and program staff on an annual basis. Any changes to the academic calendars will need to be communicated to all members of the team. Updated calendars will be posted annually on the website and in the student handbook. After the Registrar’s Office confirms the academic start date and academic end date, Student Fiscal Affairs will continue to input this information in our Student Information System Banner to allow accuracy in our student records sent to the Department of Education Common Origination and Disbursement. If there is a change in the academic start dates and/or academic end dates, the Registrar’s Office will notify Student Fiscal Affairs, Admissions, and Student Accounts to allow for updates within the institution.
