CORRECTIVE ACTION PLAN FINDING 2022-002 Contact Person Responsible for Corrective Action: Heidi Sprunger Contact Phone Number: 260-589-3133 Views of Responsible Official: We concur with the finding the documentation supporting employees? time charged to the Child Nutrition Cluster program for custodians and grant specialist was not properly maintained. However, we disagree that they would be considered an indirect cost according to the definition of indirect cost: (Indirect costs are sometimes referred to as ?overhead costs? and more recently as ?facilities and administrative costs.?) Examples include executive oversight, accounting, grants management, legal expenses, utilities, technology support, and facility maintenance. Description of Corrective Action Plan: The district will evaluate and determine which employees will continue to be charged under the Child Nutrition Cluster Program. Only those employees spending direct physical time in the cafeteria doing work will continue to be under the Child Nutrition Cluster Program. Once identified those employees will be required to fill out a separate time sheet for hours worked under the Child Nutrition Cluster program. Those time sheets will then be approved by the Food Service Director. Once approved they will be submitted to Payroll Coordinator. Anticipated Completion Date: March 20, 2023

Single Audit Report: Corrective Action Plan Year ending June 30, 2022 Finding 2022-001 Allowable Costs Grant Program/ALN#: Disaster Grants ? Public Assistance (Presidentially Declared Disasters) 97.036 Federal Agency: Department of Homeland Security Contact person responsible for corrective action: Joshua Repac Corrective Action: Meritus Medical Center, Inc. identified that the report used to identify contract nursing costs related to nurses that had treated COVID-19 patients was incorrectly including certain costs that were not related to COVID-19.

The corrective action has been implemented and completed prior to the release of the audit report for June 30, 2022. Report parameters were updated to include only COVID-19 specific infections. The report parameters were reviewed, approved, and additional samples were selected by management to ensure that the allowability criteria were met. In addition, the Company?s internal audit department used the revised submissions to independently select a random sample for testing, this will be done for future submissions as well.

ALLOWABILITY OF EXPENDITURES Department of Health and Human Resources (DHHR) Assistance Listing Number 93.767 Microdyn OPPS quarterly updates for Pricer and Editor Dynamic Link Libraries (DLLs) are commonly received mid-month of the first month in the quarter after the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services releases quarterly updates. During 2022, releases occurred on January 15, April 16, July 16, and October 19. Although updates to the DLL were completed timely throughout the year, claims sampled for the audit fell into the periods of delay between the first day of the quarter and the updates to the DLL. Procedures are in place to reprocess any affected claims once the quarterly updates have been uploaded into the system. However, there was an interruption in the procedure to reprocess claims after the quarterly updates were uploaded to the claims processing system. Corrective action has already been implemented that includes automatically opting and populating the "reprocess claims" flag in the Request Management System (RQMS) when the Microdyn OPPS updates are entered to work. (The RQMS is the system used to enter and manage work orders for the Medicaid Management Information System.) Claims processing staff at the fiscal agent have also entered calendar reminders to reprocess claims as necessary after the OPPS quarterly updates are processed. All affected claims including claims sampled for the Single Audit were reprocessed and paid from mid-December 2022 through mid-January 2023.

FINDING 2022-002 Information on the federal program: Subject: Special Education Cluster (IDEA) - Earmarking Federal Agency: Department of Education Federal Program: Special Education Grants to States Assistance Listing Number: 84.027 Federal Award Number: 20611-001-PN01 Pass-Through Entity: Indiana Department of Education Compliance Requirement: Matching, Level of Effort, Earmarking Audit Findings: Significant Deficiency Condition: The School Corporation is a member of the Adams Wells Special Services Cooperative (Cooperative). During fiscal year 2021-2022, the Cooperative operated the special education programs and spent the federal money on behalf of all its member schools. 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. 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 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. Context: The Non-Public Proportionate Share expenditures for the 20611-001-PN01 grant award could not be verified for the individual member schools. Total non-public expenditures were posted as expended. The member school proportionate share expenditures were then determined by applying a budgeted percentage to the total non-public expenditures. These were the amounts reported to IDOE. As such, we were unable to identify if the minimum amount per member school was expended and properly reported to IDOE as required. The School Corporation?s Non-Public Proportionate Share for the 20611-001-PN01 grant application was $9,319. Views of Responsible Officials: We concur with the finding. Description of Corrective Action Plan: Our corrective action plan is following the AWSSC plan of: Co-ops cannot combine proportionate share funds. Funds must be spent within each LEA?s geographic boundary. We will not receive a repeat finding for FY21. We will correct for FY22 and forward. Time and Effort Logs are being completed to show how many hours personnel are servicing Non-Pub students with a service plan. If Materials and Equipment are purchased for a specific student?s need, per the service plan, then those expenditures are 100% school specific. Per the DOE, Materials used by our Speech Language Pathologist for Speech Therapy for all six school corporations, those expenditures are split evenly across all school corporations with a non-pub proportionate share allocation. Responsible Party and Timeline for Completion: The Superintendent and Corporation Treasurer will work with the Adams Wells Special Services Cooperative to monitor and verify those expenditures are allocated appropriately across all school corporations with a non-pub proportionate share allocation.

Respectfully, the school corporation does not agree with several of the findings in regards to segregation of duties and purchases. First, the SBOA auditors' told the school corporation during the 2019 audit that operating the school lunch program through the extracurricular account was not legal. The school corporation was informed that this account must be transferred to Central Office and a Corrective Action Plan must be in place. This directive was incorrect and pointed out in the official response from November 5, 2019 under IC 20-26-5-4(a)(l l). Second, segregation of duties, oversight, and approval of functions existed in 2019 and are presently occurring daily, weekly, and monthly within the cafeteria program under the corporation accounts and supervision of Central Office. Cafeteria workers record and submit timesheets of duties performed during each payroll period. The Cafeteria Director verifies and signs timesheets to be submitted to the Treasurer and Deputy Treasurer for review and payment from the Cafeteria account. A payroll docket report is sent to the Superintendent prior to payment from the bank. Prior to the 2019 audit, the High School Treasurer spent approximately two hours per day counting cash received each day from school lunches purchased. She also receipted those funds it into the software system, made deposits to the bank, paid invoices for food expenses, and processed part of payroll. Tasks conducted by the High School Treasurer were segregated by a timesheet and supervised by the High School Principal. All those tasks were shifted to Central Office in 2020 and are now segregated to the Treasurer and Deputy Treasurer. The Treasurer documents hours spent on Cafeteria accounts on a timesheet for review and signature by the Superintendent. Financial reports of expenditures and revenues are provided for review and oversight to the Superintendent and School Board at monthly board meetings. Third, RSSC has a small Central Office consisting of a Superintendent, Treasurer, Deputy Treasurer, and Secretary. It has no Assistant Superintendents, Human Resources Director, or Business Manager. Each person in Central Office wears multiple hats and performs multiple duties each day. It was noted in the Audit Report filed from July 1, 2008 to June 30, 2010 that " ...Randolph Southern School Corporation is unable, due to financial limitations, to employ additional personnel to segregate duties in our receipts and cash and investment balances. This statement would apply to all of our internal controls. " The circumstances for RSSC have not changed in the audit periods from July 1, 2010 through June 30, 2022. Corrective Action Plan: The School Board had chosen not to add additional staffing due to costs. RSSC is still unable to segregate duties for financial transactions and reporting. Fourth, the Cafeteria Program only has one full-time staff member, the Cafeteria Director. Eight part-time cafeteria workers prepare and feed up to 300 students each day. This food service program is one of the best run programs in the State oflndiana. It has not had one food preparation or sanitation violation from IDOE or Department of Health in the last 12 years. Fifth, the Cafeteria Program is economically efficient and fiscally responsible. The account carries at least a 3-month cash balance at all times. This success is a direct result of oversight by the combination of the Superintendent, Treasurer, and Cafeteria Director. RSSC adopted board policy 6114 Cost Principles-Spending Federal Funds on May 9, 2016. RSSC has had an Indirect Cost Rate in place since 2013. The adopted policy allows the school corporation to apply Indirect Costs to all federal funds including the Cafeteria account. On December 5, 2019, email communications between the Dr. Donnie Bowsman, Superintendent and Tina Herzog, IDOE Assistant Director of Operations and Food Distributions clearly state the school corporation can apply the Indirect Cost Rate to the Cafeteria account. The email communication clearly states that the high cash balance was a result of not applying the Indirect Cost Rate to the Cafeteria account (See Exhibit 1 Emails). The Indirect Rate was approved by the IDOE Office of School Finance and existed prior to the audit years being referenced in the finding. Technically, the prospective portion (going forward for the next school year) as referenced on pages 24-25 of USDA Indirect Cost Guidance Manual pertains to the 2013 Fiscal Year. Moreover, the fact was reiterated by the IDOE School Nutrition Office with email communications on December 5, 2019, not 2021 or 2022 as referenced in the finding. RSSC has not charged or recouped the Cafeteria Account the Indirect Cost rate for many years and has subsidized this account which should be independent and self-sufficient. The School Corporation did not apply the Indirect Cost Rate in 2020 or 2021 because we were not sure how many students would be eating and how fiscally sound the account would be due to students not attending school because of COVID. Corrective Action Plan: The Indirect Cost Rate will be applied and collected in the future prior to June 30 of each current fiscal year. It should also be noted that in 2021, RSSC purchased a new cafeteria dishwasher utilizing ESSER II funds. This unit was 20+ years old and needed to be replaced in order to continue feeding children and to run the food service program. This expense could have been and should have been a direct cost of $58,189 to the Cafeteria account. However, due to the unknown circumstances of COVID, the RSSC could not take a chance. The ESSER II grant is still open and we are now questioning whether this expense could be charged directly to the Cafeteria account. Those ESSER II fund could be utilized for staffing to support student learning loss and remediation. Sixth, COVID caused this financial account to increase exponentially from 2020 to 2021. ESSER funds were provided by the federal government to provide free lunches to every child which paid the food operations expenses for two school years. Student participation of eating school lunches increased during these time periods. Additionally, staff members were receiving hazard pay incentives on top of their regular hourly rate. Further, the School Corporation and Cafeteria Program took on the enormous task of feeding children over the summers of 2020 and 2021 when COVID cases were at its peak. The cafeteria personnel fed 5286 and 5740 students respectfully during those summers.
