The Northeast Texas Public Health District (NET Health) will take steps to ensure overall effective grant monitoring and to increase communications between NET Health Grant Managers and the Chief Financial Officer and Chief Executive Officer. The NET Health Leadership Team will discuss any issues during our weekly Leadership Team meetings to ensure compliance. These weekly meetings will address costs expended within the grant parameters and ensure grant funds will be more evenly expended during the year as appropriate. NET Heatlh will continue to develop effective methods of grant oversight as it finds weaknesses in its processes. To ensure compliance with the period of performance requirements, NET Health will change its processes effectively immediately. Going forward checks will only be prepared, dated, signed, and mailed to vendors after work is completed or items are received. There will be enhanced internal controls by establishing procedures to monitor and ensure timely payment of accrued expenditures, such as regularly accounting for any outstanding checks and actively communicating with vendors on performance requirements. In addition, we will enhance communication and coordination among relevant departments to expedite the payment process while maintaining compliance with grant regulations. George T. Roberts, CEO, and Lawanda Owens, CFO, are the persons responsible for this action plan going forward. NET Health is expected to have this action plan implemented by May 1, 2024.

Name, address, and telephone of District contact person: Dan King 250 E Campus Dr. Belfair, WA 98528 (360) 277-2107 Corrective action the auditee plans to take in response to the finding: The District was experiencing high turnover with leadership roles in both its Food Service Department and Business Office when the failure to ensure compliance with federal suspension and debarment requirements occurred with one of its procurement contracts in August 2022. For corrective action the District put in place a requirement that all purchase order requests involving federal funds that amount to (or potentially could amount to) $25,000 or higher must include as an attachment in Skyward Financial Management the contract (when applicable) with verification that the vendor is not suspended and debarred and/or current documentation from Sam.gov verifying the vendor is not suspended or debarred. Any requisition involving federal funds that could amount to or exceed $25,000 that does not also include suspension and debarment verification will not be approved by the finance director and Business Office staff who process purchase order requests (as a control, both the finance director and the accounts payable technician must approve the request). Further, by requiring the suspension and debarment verification in Skyward as an attachment with the purchase order request, Business Office staff (regardless of staff turnover) will be able quickly locate and retrieve the documentation as needed for future audits and other external or internal purposes. Anticipated date to complete the corrective action: This corrective action was put into effect on April 18, 2024.

Management concurs with this recommendation. GII Mission Team plans to complete the FFATA reporting on its Subaward Reporting System (FSRS) for the Federal Communications Commission grant (FCC). The team will provide training to relevant staff on GII’s New Grant Start Up checklist from the GII Grant Management Toolkit that requires a review of Grant Terms and Conditions including the FFATA reporting requirement for federal grants, and training on the process for reporting the FFATA on FSRS.

Additionally, the supervisor must review and approve the report before submission. Confirmation of successful submission is required for the grant records. GII will review grant startup checklist within 30 days of receipt of grant with program manager and grant accounting staff to ensure all required activities are completed. The team will ensure that the grant start up process is followed with all new federal grants. With the described action plan, GII will strengthen supervision and review controls over evaluating subawards for reporting requirements under FFATA and tracking whether reporting occurs timely and accurately. Persons Responsible for Corrective Action: Martin Scaglione Kristin Pratt Chief Mission Officer Sr. Director Grant Operations and Administration Implementation of the Correction Action Plan: All corrective actions will be completed by June 30, 2024.

While we thought we complied when purchasing chrome books for hybrid learning, there were some other requirements that we were not able to document. Because our asset management system does not retain a list of previous ‘owners’ of each chrome book (the system replaces that student with the new student’s name and does not keep the history) we were unable to tell you exactly what student had several of our chrome books at that snapshot in time.

Once the district was notified of the noncompliance regarding Child Nutrition federal procurement requirements, an interlocal agreement was immediately put in place with Longview School District for our small purchases of $150,000 or below. The agreement was approved by the Castle Rock School Board at the March 8, 2023 board meeting and approved by the Longview School District School Board on March 17, 2023. For our purchases above $150,000, the district requested to be a member of the Puget Sound Joint Purchasing Cooperative on March 6, 2023 and the membership was approved by the PSJPC Board on March 12, 2023. PSJPC provided the district with an interlocal agreement and the agreement was approved by the Castle Rock School Board at the March 22, 2023 board meeting. This agreement with PSJPC is a continuing membership and the district currently pays $150.00 to be apart of the cooperative. On August 30, 2024 Castle Rock renewed their interlocal agreements with Longview School District, however, Castle Rock did not request all of the documentation from Longview to ensure they were compliant with the required procurement laws.
