Subject: Education Stabilization Fund – Special Tests and Provisions - Wage Rate Requirements Federal Agency: Department of Education Federal Program: COVID-19 - Education Stabilization Fund Assistance Listing Number: 84.425U Federal Award Numbers: S425U210013 Pass-Through Entity: Indiana Department of Education Compliance Requirement: Special Tests and Provisions - Wage Rate Requirements Audit Findings: Material Weakness Condition: An effective internal control system was not in place at the School Corporation in order to ensure compliance with requirements related to the grant agreement and the Special Tests and Provisions – Wage Rate Requirements compliance requirements. The School Corporation did not include Davis Bacon wage rate requirements in its contract with vendor which includes labor installation. The School Corporation did not obtain the weekly payroll reports certifications from vendor installing equipment. Context: The School Corporation had three projects during the audit period which included construction or labor installation which were charged to the ESSER III (84.425U) grant award.

The amount disbursed for the project totaled $50,000. Views of Responsible Official: We concur with the finding. Description of Corrective Action Plan: Management will ensure all construction projects anticipated to incur labor costs greater than $2,000 include a signed contract containing a Davis-Bacon wage rate provision and will monitor the vendor to ensure compliance with certified payroll reporting requirements. Responsible Party and Timeline for Completion: David Wolford and Wyatt Schmicker will review wage rate provisions with vendors before initiating contracts when using federal funds.

Finding 2024-001 – Child Nutrition Cluster – Eligibility Context: During sample testing of 60 students for eligibility, we noted 7 instances where there was no documented review by someone other than the individual making the eligibility determination. The lack of review was isolated to paper applications. Contact Person Responsible for Corrective Action: Mr. Patrick Culp Contact Phone Number: 219-279-2418 Views of Responsible Official: We concur with the finding. Of note, this is a new finding as we have never experienced this problem before. For this audit period, the Tri-County Food Service Director suffered a serious foot injury, requiring her to miss an extended period of time. When the accident with the Food Service Director occurred, one of the first actions the corporation took was to contact IDOE about our situation. The IDOE was aware how the review the process would look during that time. While the Food Service Director was recovering, student eligibility was not reviewed properly. Description of Corrective Action Plan: The Tri-County School Corporation food service director will complete all initial reviews of student eligibility. The initial review will be for both electronic and paper applications. Once the initial review is complete, the Tri-County central office secretary will complete a second review. The secretary works in a different building and does not have a role in eligibility determinations. Anticipated Completion Date: Our corrective action plan began in August 2024, upon the return of our food service director, and this is the plan moving forward.

Finding 2024-003 Allowability-Payroll: Federal Agency – U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development Program Name – Community Development Block Grants/Entitlement Grants Federal Assistance Listing Number: 14.218 2 CFR 200.303 requires that a non-federal entity must “(a) establish and maintain effective internal control over the Federal award in compliance with Federal statutes, regulations, and the terms and conditions of the Federal award. These internal controls should be in compliance with guidance in “Standards for Internal Control in the Federal Government” issued by the Comptroller General of the United States and the “Internal Control Integrated Framework”, issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission (COSO).” 2 CFR 200.430 (g)(1) states, “Charges to Federal awards for salaries and wages must be based on records that accurately reflect the work performed. These records must : (i) Be supported by a system of internal control that provides reasonable assurance that the charges are accurate, allowable, and properly allocated; (ii) Be incorporated into the official records of the recipient or subrecipient; (iii) Reasonably reflect the total activity for which the employee is compensated by the recipient or subrecipient, not exceeding 100 percent of compensated activities (for IHES, this the is the IBS); (iv) Encompass federally-assisted and all other activities compensated by the recipient or subrecipient on an integrated basis but may include the use of subsidiary records as defined in the recipients written policy; (v) comply established accounting policies and procedures of the recipient or subrecipient (See paragraph (i)(1)(ii) of this section for treatment of incidental work for IHES.); and (vi) Support the distribution of the employee’s salary or wages among specific activities or cost objectives if the employee works on more than on Federal ward; a Federal award and non-Federal award; an indirect cost activity and a direct cost activity; two or more indirect activities allocated using different allocation bases; or an unallowable activity and a direct or indirect cost activity. 2 CFR 200.403 indicates that costs must “be consistent with policies and procedures that apply uniformly to both federally-financed and other activities of the non-Federal entity” and must be “adequately documented”. Responsible Parties: The City Auditor will work with the Mayor’s Office of Economic and Community Development to enhance the policies and procedures in place to ensure that expenditures charged to the federal awards are properly reviewed and supported.
