FINDING 2024-003 Finding Subject: Title I Grants to Local Educational Agencies - Earmarking Summary of Finding: Material Weakness, Other Matters The School District is required to set aside a reasonable amount of funds to meet the needs of the homeless population in the school community. These funds cannot be used for any other purpose than the needs of the homeless population. At the end of the grant period, unspent funds must be carried forward to the next grant year. If the school district meets the obligation of attempting to spend the homeless set-aside funds, the funds may be carried over into the general Title I award for the next grant. The funds are not required to go back into the homeless reservation. The 2021-2022 grant award homeless reservation was $8,600. The School Corporation did not spend any of these funds, but was determined to have met their obligation based on documentation provided. The School Corporation did not provide evidence that the $8,600 was carried over to the next school year. However, it was determined that $276 of the $8,600 was used inappropriately in the current school year for other Title I, Part A activities, and not for the needs of the homeless student population. This noncompliance and lack of internal controls was isolated to the 2022-23 school year. Contact Person Responsible for Corrective Action: Kari Dyer Contact Phone Number and Email Address: (574)825-9425; dyerk@mcsin-k12.org Views of Responsible Officials: The School District concurs with this finding. Homeless Reservation funds should only be used for the needs of the homeless student population. Description of Corrective Action Plan: The School District is implementing new monitoring procedures for the Title I Fund to verify unspent funds for the Homeless Reservation are not used for any other Title I expenses. After the 2022-23 school year, the School District changed the way in which it expends the Homeless Reservation by utilizing these funds for salary and benefits of a Homeless Laision. Monitoring these expenditures requires dual signature approvals by the Business Assistant and the Title I Program Director prior to being released. Anticipated Completion Date: Immediate
