The Executive Director and Board of Directors will review bank reconciliations on a monthly basis to ensure everything is accurate and appropriate. On a weekly/bi-weekly basis the Executive Director has established meetings to review opportunities for continuous improvement within management. The Executive Director will also review financial activity on a monthly basis to look for any discrepancies in the accounts. After the checks are approved, they are mailed out.

The budget to actual comparisons are reviewed twice a year by the Finance Committee (1st and 3rd quarter) and twice a year by the Board of Directors (2nd and 4th quarter). The Executive Director plans on reviewing employee contracts to ensure the correct rate is being paid for each employee. The Organization is willing to accept the risk.

Reference # and title: 2023-001 Controls and Compliance over Reporting Federal program and specific federal award identification: CFDA Number Award Year FEDERAL GRANTER/ PASS THROUGH GRANTOR/PROGRAM NAME United States Department of Education; passed through Louisiana Department of Education Education Stabilization (ESSER II – Formula & Incentive) 84.425D 2021 Education Stabilization (ESSER III – Formula, Incentive & 84.425U 2021 EB Interventions) Condition: In accordance with the ESSER guidelines, the School Board is required to submit an annual performance report with data on expenditures, planned expenditures, subrecipients, and uses of funds, including for mandatory reservations. The key line items include the School Board’s expenditures by ESSER subgrant, which comes from the periodic expense reports, the number of specific positions supported with ESSER funds, allocation of ESSER funds to schools and criterial used to allocate the funds to the schools and the full-time equivalent positions paid with ESSER funding. Condition found: In testing a sample of a periodic expense report from each of the School Board’s ESSER subgrants, it was noted that the ESSER III Formula subgrant did not agree with the School Board’s general ledger expenditures. In testing the information submitted through the Louisiana Department of Education’s portal for the other key line items, it was noted that the School Board could not locate their original support used to submit this information; and therefore, the auditor could not adequately test the information submitted. Corrective action planned: When completing the annual performance report, the new Grants Manager will retain all supporting documentation used to complete the report for review during the audit process. Personal responsible for corrective action: Mr. William Kennedy, Superintendent Claiborne Parish School Board 415 East Main Street Homer, Louisiana 71040 Anticipated completion date: 3/31/2024

To ensure that student enrollment statuses are updated following any change in full time enrollment status, the University of Lynchburg is implementing a new Student information system (Ellucian Colleague) that will automate the management of student statuses based on NSLDS parameters and guidelines. The new system will drastically reduce the previous needs for the manual monitoring of student statuses. This new system will be fully implemented by August 2024. In the interim, the Registrar's Office is stepping up its efforts to ensure that the current manual monitoring process is effective.

Condition: During testing of the grant, we noted the School District utilized funds from the Education Stabilization Funds (ESF) for minor remodeling and renovations of the school buildings. Per the 2023 Compliance Supplement, recipients and subrecipients that use ESF for minor remodeling, renovation, or construction contracts that are over $2,000 and use laborers and mechanics, must meet Davis-Bacon prevailing wage requirements. The School District expended ESSER funds that related to repairs and renovations; however, the prevailing wage requirement was not included in any of the related contracts' language, nor did the School District receive or review the certified payroll reports from any of the contractors. Planned Corrective Action: As it pertains to the use of ANY Federal funds for construction projects in the South Redford School District (SRSD), when said funds will be used to compensate for labor for any construction project: We must stipulate in all RFP’s, Davis-Bacon requirements for prevailing wages as it relates to the use of laborers and mechanics, for all projects over $2,000. All responses to RFP’s must: 1. Acknowledge the Davis Bacon prevailing wage requirement; 2. All bid pricing must reflect prevailing wage requirements; 3. Bid recipients must have a process in place for reporting their compliance to the prevailing wage requirement and submit documentation along with all invoices, be it directly to SRSD or to the construction management firm, who will then include said documentation with their backup and invoices to SRSD.

Gavilan’s current process in submitting enrollment files to NSC involves a collaboration between two departments: Admissions and Records and Information Technology. During this period, primarily in Spring 2023, the two parties experienced a miscommunication between which file contained the current enrollment data versus which file was being submitted to NSC. Admissions and Records mistakenly submitted 4 incorrect files. Since, Admissions and Records has worked with IT to update procedures and strengthen communication when collecting the current enrollment data. To further correct the deficiency, discussions circled around Admissions and records working with a Banner Ellucian Consultant to review our Banner capabilities and strengthen the user control to oversee and submit the enrollment reports independent of IT’ s assistance. Admissions and Records will also develop a written manual to cover the step-by-step process in submitting the School Enrollment Transmission to National Student Clearinghouse in order for the correct NSLDS monitoring. The written manual will document: • Banner pages and strokes, including screen shots. • Current IT process, point of contact and file name • Link to future transmission page on the Na1onal Student Clearinghouse user page • Link to NSDLS Repor1ng page to validate and confirm correct submissions have been reported. The Director of Admissions and Records will coordinate business practices with Admissions and Records, Financial Aid and IT to ensure the school enrollment transmissions are submitted on time and are correct. The business process will be documented by Admissions and Records and shared with Financial Aid, IT, and the VP of Student Services
