Federal Agency Name: United States Department of Agriculture Assistance Listing Number: #10.766 Program Name: Community Facilities Loans and Grants Finding Summary: During our testing, there was no formal review separate from the preparer over the reserve fund reconciliation for the federal program and there was no formal review of the balance in comparison to the required minimum reserve balance. Due to there being no formal review of the balance in comparison to the required minimum reserve balance, the reserve balance was underfunded as of June 30, 2025 in the amount of $17,486. Corrective Action Plan: We will implement additional control processes to ensure a formal review over the reserve fund reconciliation and a formal review of the balance in comparison to the required minimum reserve balance is completed by staff separate from the preparer. On November 28, 2025, the minimum reserve balance was fully funded at $358,800. Responsible Individual: Mandy Robinson, Administrator Anticipated Completion Date: 11/28/2025

We have carefully reviewed the finding of Documentation of Internal Controls over Federal Awards. The City of Central concurs with the finding. City management recognizes the importance of maintaining current, comprehensive, and properly documented internal controls over federal awards in accordance with 2 CFR part 200.303(a). The City acknowledges that while formal policies and procedures existed, they were not fully updated to reflect current Uniform Guidance requirements and did not sufficiently address all applicable compliance areas for the federal programs administered. The City will undertake a comprehensive review of its existing policies and procedures. Management will update and formalize internal control documentation over federal awards to ensure alignment with Uniform Guidance requirements and to address all relevant compliance areas applicable to the City’s federal programs. This process will include identifying key control activities, documenting responsibilities, and ensuring controls are properly designed and implemented. Additionally, management will increase awareness of Uniform Guidance requirements and internal controls documentation standards by providing resources to applicable staff. Management will continue to periodically review internal control documentation to ensure continued compliance as federal requirements change.

FINDING 2025-001 Finding Subject: Child Nutrition Cluster - Procurement and Suspension and Debarment Summary of Finding: Procurement: For two vendors, the School Corporation did not obtain price or rate quotes as required. The School Corporation did not maintain documentation to support the rationale and justification to limit competition, and there was no documentation of the history of the Procurement which would include the rationale for the method of procurement, the selection of the vendor, and the basis for price. Suspension and Debarment: Two vendors were identified for which the School Corporation was required to verify the suspension and debarment status, however no such verification could be provided for audit.

FINDING 2025-002 Finding Subject: Special Education Cluster (IDEA)- Earmarking Summary of Finding: The School Corporation is a member of the Greater Lafayette Area Special Services Cooperative (Cooperative).

FINDING 2025-002 Finding Subject: Special Education Cluster (IDEA)- Earmarking Summary of Finding: The School Corporation is a member of the Greater Lafayette Area Special Services Cooperative (Cooperative). During fiscal years 2023-2024, the Cooperative operated the special education programs and spent the federal money on behalf of all of its members. As the grant agreements were between the Indiana Department of Education (IDOE) and each member school, the School Corporation was responsible for ensuring and providing oversight of the Cooperative. However, there was inadequate oversight performed by the School Corporation in order to ensure compliance with the Matching, Level of Effort, Earmarking compliance requirement. The School Corporation did not have internal controls in place to ensure that the Cooperative complied with the earmarking requirements. The Cooperative did not have adequate procedures in place to ensure that the required level of expenditures for nonpublic school students with disabilities was met for each member school. The Cooperative did not have effective internal controls to ensure nonpublic school expenditures were appropriately identified and reported. The Non-Public Proportionate Share expenditures for the 22611-021-PN01, 22611-021-ARP, 22619-021-ARP, 23611-021-PN01, and 23619-021-PN01 grant awards could not be verified for the individual member schools. Total grant expenditures were posted as expended. The nonpublic proportionate share expenditures were determined by applying a percentage to the nonpublic school budgeted expenditures. As such, we were unable to identify if the minimum amount per the grant awards was expended and properly reported to the IDOE as required. The lack of internal controls and noncompliance were isolated to the 22611-021-PN01, 22611-021-ARP, 22619-021-ARP, 23611-021-PN01, and 23619-021-PN01 grant awards. Contact Person Responsible for Corrective Action: Lissa Stranahan Contact Phone Number and Email Address: (Phone) 765-771-6013 (Email) lstranahan@lsc.k12.in.us Views of Responsible Officials: We concur with the finding. The Greater Lafayette Area Special Services (GLASS)and Local Education Agency, Lafayette School Corporation, concur with the audit finding for Earmarking. GLASS did not have adequate procedures in place to ensure that the required level of expenditures for non-public school students with disabilities was met for each member school. The Cooperative did not have effective internal controls to ensure non-public school expenditures were appropriately identified and reported. The methodology used by the Cooperative to monitor non-public proportionate share expenditures was based upon a percentage for each school corporation that comprises the Cooperative rather than basing the expenditures off of the grant award for each non-public school within the geographical boundaries of the school corporations. While all proportionate share funds were expended, it was problematic in determining if the minimum amount per the grant awards was expended and properly reported prior to July 1, 2024. INDIANA STATE BOARD OF ACCOUNTS 28 Description of Corrective Action Plan: The former Director of GLASS retired June 30, 2023. Upon hire on July 1, 2023, the new director immediately implemented measures to correct the previous methodology used at GLASS. Non-public proportionate share funds are identified and reported based upon the grant award for each school corporation. The expenditures are based upon the geographical location of the non-public school and the corresponding public school corporation, not based upon the “home” school corporation of the student. This process was implemented and descriptions were included on the ledgers to identify non-public school proportionate share for grants that were initiated during the FY 2024-2025 school year. Anticipated Completion Date: The corrective action was already put into place on July 1, 2023 and implemented with FY 2024-2025. The audit finding reflects the previous grant cycle for 2022 grants and 2023 grants, which is prior to this action taken.

Description of Corrective Action Plan: The offices of the Northwest Indiana Special Education Cooperative (NISEC), on behalf of River Forest Community School Corporation, its member school, has implemented a corrective action plan to ensure that the proper methodology for procurement is followed. Additionally, a system of internal controls has been established to ensure that vendors are procured using the required methods. The Northwest Indiana Special Education Cooperative created a corrective action plan to develop procedures to obtain bids when any vendor will exceed the simplified acquisition threshold. As part of this corrective action plan they have included procedures to follow if a noncompetitive procurement would be applicable. These procedures include documenting the rationale for using this alternative method and requesting approval from the Board of School Trustees when doing so.

Finding During the federal award audit, it was noted that while the District followed procurement guidelines and procedures in the DJB Federal Procurement Policy, it does not have an established suspension and debarment procedure. Condition The District currently lacks a documented process to verify that vendors and subrecipients are not suspended or debarred from doing business with federal agencies. Criteria Under 2 CFR 200.214, non-federal entities are prohibited from entering into contracts or subawards with parties that are suspended or debarred from participation in federal programs. Cause The absence of a formal written procedure to verify vendor status prior to award or contract execution. Effect Without a documented procedure, there is a risk that contracts could be awarded to suspended or debarred entities, resulting in noncompliance with federal regulations. Corrective Action The District will formally adopt a Suspension and Debarment Verification Procedure that outlines the required process for verifying all vendors and subrecipients before entering into any contract funded by federal awards. Staff will verify suspension and debarment status by checking the System for Award Management (SAM.gov) prior to contract execution and will maintain documentation of verification in the procurement file. The Business Services Department will complete training on the new procedure and documentation requirements. Responsible Party: Business Manager Completion Date: Procedure adoption and staff training by December 31, 2025

The School City of Hammond will maintain an effective control system for withdrawals from each of the schools within the school system. At the time of withdrawal, a withdrawal form, along with a verified ID will be copied by the school’s registrar or designee. This withdrawal form must include the signatures of a parent and principal. This is the first step in the monitoring process. This system for withdrawals will also include placing a copy of the withdrawal form in the student information system (PowerSchool Attachments). The documentation that needs to be attached to the withdrawal form should include documents that show a Records Request, proof that the student withdrew to attend another school or educational program that results in the awarding of a high school diploma, has immigrated to another country, or is deceased. Upon completion of the withdrawal at the school, a copy of the documentation will be kept at the school, and the original documentation will be placed into the cumulative record. The school will forward a digital copy to Student Services. Upon receipt of the digital copy at Student Services, the administrator will review the file and will sign off to indicate that the record has been reviewed and is complete. To ensure this process is implemented with fidelity, training will take place on a yearly basis with administrators and office staff on the procedures that need to be followed during the withdrawal process.

Finding Number: 2025-003 Federal Program, Assistance Listing Number and Name: ALN 14.239, Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD), Home Investment Partnerships Program Condition: Original Finding Description: The requirements mandate that units be inspected, deficiencies communicated, and corrective actions taken promptly. However, controls over housing quality standards are not effectively designed, reflecting a persistent lack of segregation of duties necessary to ensure compliance. Furthermore, existing controls were insufficient to guarantee that HQS inspection requirements were met and that identified deficiencies were addressed in a timely manner. Contact Person Responsible for Corrective Action / Anticipated Completion Date: Julie Schneider Anticipated completion date: July 2025 Planned Corrective Action: During the fiscal year, the City reviewed and enhanced its internal controls over HQS inspections to strengthen oversight and segregation of duties. Process changes were implemented to ensure that inspections, documentation of deficiencies, follow-up actions, and certifications of completion have independent review and approval. In addition, management implemented monitoring procedures to track inspection schedules to help ensure HQS requirements are met in a timely manner.While corrective actions were initiated during the fiscal year, they were not fully implemented throughout the entire period. By year-end, the controls were in place. The City will continue to monitor these controls to ensure ongoing compliance and to prevent similar issues from recurring.
