EF has always had procedures in place to research whether an organization is suspended and debarred. EF has also developed a process by which the grant administration team both looks up and takes screen shots of the search for each vendor’s status in the database (both upon contract renewal or when entering a new contract with a value of more than $25,000). This information is maintained by the grant administration team.

The District accepts and acknowledges that the Quarterly Cash Reports for the Quarter ended June 30, 2023 were not correct in their entirety. The error occurred due to miscommunication between the Federal Programs Coordinator (who was also the Director of Curriculum at that time who is no longer employed in the District) and the Business Administrator. ln order to appropriately and completely expend various streams of ESSERs funding, the Curriculum Director revised his budget multiple times, moving expenditures that were originally budgeted to be expended from one grant to another grant. Although all the Federal funding received was expended on qualifying and appropriate expenditures, the failure occurred when the former Federal Programs Coordinator did not inform the Business Manager that he was making these numerous budget adjustments. As such, the final Quarterly Cash Reports as of June 30, 2023 were filed with incorrect amounts. Corrective Actions: Prior to the local audit as of 6130123, the Business Manager and new Federal Programs Coordinator (who is also the new Curriculum Director) identified that the budget transfers discussed above were not communicated properly. lt was also determined that all expenditures charged against the grants were appropriate and allowed. ln order to prevent this from occurring again in the future, the Business Manager and Federal Programs Coordinator now meet monthly to discuss the status of all Federal Funding, to discuss any and all planned expenditures to ascertain their allowability and to ensure compliance under the Federal Grants, and to verify that the Federal Program Coordinator's internal budget exactly matches what is recorded in the District's accounting system.
