Corrective Action Plan for Audit Finding 2025-003: Procurement Procedures (Significant Deficiency and Noncompliance - IDEA Special Education Federal Program) Finding Summary: Auditors identified two instances in which procurement transactions did not comply with the District's procurement policy or federal Uniform Guidance requirements. Specifically, bids were not solicited as required, and suspension and debarment checks were not performed or documented for the vendors prior to contract award. Root Cause: The exceptions occured due to a gap in the District's internal control structure. These procedures were not being consistently performed, and prior management was unaware the requirements under federal Uniform Guidance were not being followed. Corrective Action: The District will establish and implement policies and procedures to ensure all federally funded procurements comply with Uniform Guidance requirements. This includes: 1. Soliciting bids or proposals in accordance with applicable competitive procurement thresholds. 2. Performing and documenting suspension and debarment verifications for all vendors, including tracking results appropriately. 3. Providing training to staff responsible for federal procurement to ensure ongoing compliance and understanding of federal requirements. These actions are intended to ensure that contracts are awarded fairly, to responsible parties, and in full compliance with federal regulations. Documentation of all procurement steps will be maintained to demonstrate compliance during future audits. Responsible Parties: Fiona Barry, Assistant CFO, and Matthew Gonzales, CFO, are responsible for overseeing implementation, ensuring proper documentation, and providing staff training. Timeline: The corrective actions are scheduled for implementation by March 2026 and will continue as part of the District's ongoing procurement compliance process.

Improper Time & Effort Reporting Condition: 2 CFR 200.430 of the Uniform Guidance mandates that personnel compensation charged to federal awards must be based on records that accurately reflect the work performed. When an employee works on multiple cost objectives (e.g., multiple awards or activities), this often necessitates the use of personnel activity reports or similar timekeeping documents to accurately allocate salaries and wages. During the audit, we found that proper personnel activity reports were not being maintained for multiple cost objective employees charged to Title IV and to the Special Education Cluster. While we were able to support that the amounts charged to the grants were reasonable, through review of the employee's Outlook calendars, daily schedules, etc., the documentation required by federal guidance was not available. We recommend that management provide training to all multiple cost objective employees on how to properly document their time and then to Implement oversite procedures requiring that those personnel activity reports be submitted to management for review on a monthly basis. Corrective Action: The District has begun training all staff and grant Directors on the proper documentation required to properly support the time and effort employees spend on various grants. In addition, the Grant Director will begin reviewing this documentation on a periodic basis, to ensure complete compliance.

Corrective Action Plan Pursuant to federal regulations, Uniform Administrative Requirements Section 200.511, the following is the finding as noted in the Plainwell Community Schools Single Audit report for the year ended June 30, 2025, and corrective actions to be completed. 2025-001 – Procurement, Suspension and Debarment Auditor Description of Condition and Effect. The District indicated that they not have been completing suspension and debarment checks on District vendors. The District also indicated that they did obtain of quotes for a purchase over the micropurchase threshold but less than the small purchase threshold. As a result of this condition, the District was exposed to the risk that disbursements of federal awards would be made to vendors suspended or debarred by the federal government and subject to disallowance by the grantor. The District was exposed to the risk that disbursements of federal awards were not subject to full and open competition. Auditor Recommendation. We recommend that the District verify that any of their vendors with $25,000 spent with federal funds were not suspended or debarred, and that documentation of these procedures be retained. We also recommend that the District obtain quotes or bids from an adequate number of qualified sources as determined by the District's purchasing policies/procedures for federal awards. Corrective Action. The District will review vendors with over $25,000 spent in federal funds to ensure that they are not suspended or debarred and retain documented support for the procedures performed. The District will also obtain quotes or bids from an adequate number of qualified sources as determined by the District's purchasing policies/procedures for federal awards. Responsible Person.
