Name, address, and telephone of District contact person: Randy Lybyer, Director of Financial Services 1294 Chestnut Street Clarkston, WA 99403-0070 (509) 769-5538 Corrective action the auditee plans to take in response to the finding: The Clarkston School District welcomes the State Auditor?s Office review of federal wage rate requirements in our use of federal funds for the Grantham Elementary HVAC construction project. We agree with the auditor?s findings that our internal control structure was inadequate to ensure compliance with wage rate requirements. The following internal control processes have been implemented effective immediately. 1. Identify public works projects and other contracts that require compliance with federal wage rate requirements through regular communication with District administrators and maintenance/operations management staff. 2. Complete and enhance the Districts contracts checklists for agreements entered into with contractors, agencies or purchasing cooperatives for the contraction of public works projects. 3. Consult with ESD, OSPI, and SAO to assure proper and complete terms are included in agreement documentation. 4. Collect and review weekly Certified Payroll Reports from contractors and subcontractors upon commencement of applicable projects until completion. 5. Confirmation of receipt and review of Certified Payroll Reports shall be verified prior to vendor payments. A contributing factor to this internal control weakness was turnover in key compliance positions during the time the contracts were being processed and construction was commencing. Anticipated date to complete the corrective action: Immediately

Name, address, and telephone of District contact person: Caryn Metsker, Director of Financial Services 800 Eastmont Avenue East Wenatchee, WA 98802-4443 509-888-4686 Corrective action the auditee plans to take in response to the finding: The District does not concur with the finding or questioned costs. SAO reviewed various types of documentation and chose not to accept any documentation presented by the District to even consider reducing questioned costs. The standard of documentation required by SAO to satisfy ?unmet? need in would have been hard to meet even if the District hadn?t been in the midst of a pandemic. The District has internal controls over asset inventory and provided equipment only to students and staff with unmet needs, and all costs were allowable, reasonable and necessary. We look forward to working with the FCC or other appropriate agency to resolve this finding and we appreciate the guidance that was provided by the FCC, as noted below. Guidance from the FCC Devices for remote learning could also be used at school. During the pandemic in Washington State we experienced times when classrooms, schools and or districts were closed by health department and state regulations because of outbreaks. Districts had to be prepared to support remote learning each day with constantly changing guidance on who was allowed to be in person. The following guidance from the Federal Communications Commission, titled ?Emergency Connectivity Fund Common Misconceptions?, ?Misconception #2: If schools have returned to in-class instruction for the upcoming school year, they are not eligible to participate. Answer: This is false. Equipment and services provided to students or school staff who would otherwise lack sufficient access to connected devices, and/or broadband internet access connection while off campus are eligible for Emergency Connectivity Fund Support.? From the Federal Communications Commission Order FCC-CIRC21-93-043021, question 77: ?We think schools are in the best position to determine whether their students and staff have devices and broadband services sufficient to meet their remote learning needs, and we recognize that they are making such decisions in the midst of a pandemic. We, therefore, will not impose any specific metrics or process requirements on those determinations.? And from question 51: ?...we are sensitive to the need to provide some flexibility during this uncertain time. If those connected devices were purchased for the purpose of providing students...with devices for off-campus use consistent with the rules we adopt today, we will not prohibit such on-campus use.?

Finding: 2022-001 84.425U - ARP ESSER Criteria: The School should only request funds for reimbursement that relate to qualifying expenditures. Condition: The School utilizes a software to track all allowable expenses incurred during the period for reimbursement. Cause: During the year ended August 31, 2021, the School incorrectly submitted for reimbursement $78,606 in excess of qualifying expenditures. Effect: The School submitted for reimbursement and recognized federal awards revenue in excess of qualifying expenditures for the year ended August 31, 2021. Correspondingly, the School reduced the amount of expenditures submitted for reimbursement for the year ended August 31, 2022. Questioned cost: No questioned costs requiring disclosure. Recommendation: We recommend that management perform a detailed review of expenditures before submitting for reimbursement to ensure that all expenditures submitted are allowable. Views of responsible officials: RAPS agrees with the above finding. Corrective Action Plan: RAPS has put into place a procedure in which the bookkeeper will prepare the monthly federal reimbursement requests and provide a reconciling report and general ledger report to the CFO for review and verification of costs before the reimbursement request is submitted to TEA for payment. 1020 Elm Ave Waco, Texas 76704 11 (254) 754-8000 ***.rapoportacademy.org

The League has strengthened its internal controls over timely submission of subaward data in FFATA (Federal Funding Accountability and Transparency Act) reports. NUL Legal Department used to be responsible for generating FFATA reports, as they are authorized with review of new grant agreements as well as related contracts/subrecipients agreements submitted for approval. Some reports were not submitted in time because of continuous turnover in the department in 2021-22. The regular workflow was sometimes interrupted, and new appointees had to catch up following their priority lists. Eventually, at the end of February 2023, the function was moved to the Finance department and a specific position designated for completing FFATA reports under supervision of VP, B&G/Director, B&G. All pending FFATA reports have been completed immediately after that. We keep submitting FFATA reports for new grants as soon as subaward amounts are finalized.

Third party vendors will no longer serve as an archive for notification documentation. All notification receipts and various forms of verification will be saved in house, on the City of San Diego?s network. As of today, March 28, 2023, once email notifications are sent to customers using an external service provider, the notification confirmations will be immediately archived at the City of San Diego. This affords the City full control and oversight of the verification process for all future noticing. As of today, all available notification verifications from the third-party vendor have been downloaded and saved to the City network for future inquiries. Furthermore, internal controls will be enhanced to ensure notification verification compliance. Upon notification to customers, the Data and Analytics Program Coordinator will oversee the immediate archiving of all confirmations of emails sent to customers using an external service provider. Once complete, the Data and Analytics Program Coordinator will notify the Program Manager, who will in turn, perform a secondary review of all notifications against the verification documentation to ensure accuracy. At this point, a third level of approval will be added, as the Public Utilities Customer Support Deputy Director will provide a final level review. Once complete, these documents will be saved for a minimum of five years, per the City of San Diego?s retention policy. Anticipated Implementation Date: 3/28/23 Contact: Katie Keach, Deputy Director, Public Utilities Department
