Explanation of disagreement with audit finding: There is no disagreement with the audit finding.

CONDITION: The School District did not make the necessary monthly adjustments to the Cafeteria Fund general ledger to properly reconcile all of the balance sheet, revenue, and expense accounts to the underlying supporting documentation on hand at the School District. Accordingly, the financial position and results of operations for the Cafeteria Fund were stated incorrectly during the 2023-2024 fiscal year. CRITERIA: Prudent internal control over accounting for federal program funds requires non-federal organizations such as the School District to maintain financial records which account for federal funds in such a manner as to be able to properly track the receipt and use of federal funds as stated in Section 2 CFR Part 200 of the Uniform Guidance. RECOMMENDATION: I am recommending that the management of the School District establish written procedures for all accounting functions, but most notably for the function of making the necessary adjustments to the School District’s Cafeteria Fund general ledger in order to properly present the financial position and results of operations of this Fund over the course of the fiscal year. Consideration should be given to either performing this process in-house based on available manpower or contracted to a third-party accounting Firm quarterly or annually independent of the audit process. Management needs to ensure the performance of these procedures monthly in order to ensure its compliance with Section 2 CFR Part 200 of the Uniform Guidance. MANAGEMENT’S CORRECTIVE ACTION PLAN: District management is reviewing its current system of processing the transactions for the Cafeteria Fund to ensure that all necessary adjustments are made on a monthly basis to the balance sheet, revenue, and expense accounts in order for them to properly reflect the financial position and results of operations of this Fund during the course of the fiscal year. The timeframe for completion of this review will occur during the last four months of the 2025-2026 fiscal year to enable the School District to comply with the recordkeeping requirements for federal funds as specified in 2 CFR Part 200 of the Uniform Guidance.

Corrective Action Plan: The City of Chicago impedes the submission of expenditure reports by delaying the finalization of budgets or by not allowing GCI to submit expenditures when a budget change is submitted during the period when the change is approved. GCI will submit required expenditures upon execution of City contracts and will update them on time. Estimated Correction Date: GCI does not currently have any City contracts. When GCI enters into new City contracts, GCI will submit expenditures in a timely manner if the proper City documentation is available to complete the tasks. GCI has a new full-time Operations Manager, who will submit expenditures. Having a full-time manager familiar with all the expenditures and processing should make this task easier and timelier. Responsible Official: Nedra Sims Fears, Executive Director

Finding 2024-001 – Career and Technical Education - Perkins CFDA No. 84.048 Department of Education Massachusetts Department of Elementary and Secondary Education Other Matters Related to Internal Control over Compliance of the Major Program Criteria: Massachusetts Department of Education and Secondary Education Requires: • Final expenditure reports are required to be filed within 60 days of the grant period ending date. Condition: During our test of controls over compliance it was noted that the Student Organization grant, 21st Century grant, & Equitable Access grant final expense reports were not filed within 60 days of the grant period ending as required by Massachusetts Department of Education and Secondary Education. Questioned Costs: None Context: During our test of the Final Expenditure Reports it was noted that the Student Organization, 21st Century grant, & Equitable Access Grant final expense reports were not filed within 60 days of the grant period ending as required by Massachusetts Department of Education and Secondary Education. Effect: Assabet Valley Regional Technical High School was not in compliance with the Final Expenditure Reporting requirement date as set forth by the Massachusetts Department of Education and Secondary Education. Cause: In June 2023 Assabet’s staff member handling grants retired. They only came in once a week to help with grants until new staff could be hired. In October of 2023 our current grant manager was hired and had very limited training on grants before the retiree quit fully in January 2024. Due to this, training in Edgrants was extremely limited and the FY23 grants mentioned where not handled correctly. Identification as a Repeat Finding: This is not a repeat finding.
