2022-005 - Audit Finding Title: Right to Cancel Notices Not Provided Within Designated Time Frame - NTMA does not agree with this finding. We have been and will continue to mail the EFT notices to parents directly, keeping a copy in the student file. However, what we will do is update the cover letter to include the notice of right to cancel on that form as well although it is clearly outlined on the 2nd page that has all the disbursement, included the Plus Disbursements listed with the right to cancel verbiage immediately thereafter. Statement of Condition as stated by Auditors: In four (4) of four (4) files tested with Parent Plus Loans, the Institution addressed and sent the notification of disbursement and the borrower?s right to cancel to the students, instead of notifying parents directly. Facts as NTMA Sees Them: The notices are 2 pages and ARE addressed and sent to the PARENT; the back-up documentation which was provided to the auditing team. The 2nd page, not a letter, but a notice does have the student?s name, but it also outlines all disbursements right to cancel time frame included the parent disbursement. The title of this finding suggests that NTMA did not send it on time or to the parent. Neither is true and again, supporting documents have been provided to support this fact.

2022-001 NON-COMPLIANCE WITH WAGE RATE REQUIREMENTS Corrective Action Plan: In October 2020 the School District closed on and received funding for the 2020 Building and Site Bond project. The purpose of this bond issuance was for the renovation and updating of numerous schools throughout the district. Due to the COVID-19 pandemic, the price of materials increased dramatically and the on-going shutdowns in the business sector led to supply-chain issues. These issues resulted in an overall cost increase to the bond project. In response to the COVID-19 pandemic, the federal government released billions of dollars in federal funding to mitigate the negative impacts on the national economy and to reduce the spread of the virus. One of the federal programs initiated in response to the pandemic was the American Rescue Plan Act (ARP Act), which was enacted March 11, 2021. The ARP Act is the sole source for the Elementary and Secondary School Emergency Relief III (ESSER III) funding passed through to the District from the Michigan Department of Education. A window replacement project at the Middle School qualified as an allowable expenditure under ESSER III funding. Replacing non-functioning windows allowed for greater air flow within the classrooms, reducing the risk of spreading the COVID-19 virus. The decision to utilize ESSER III funding for a portion of the Middle School window replacement project was made after the contract was executed and as such the construction contract did not include the required prevailing wage language as required under the grant. The School District used a union contractor that did pay at and above the required wage rates; however, certified payrolls were not required to be provided and the subcontractor agreements were not required to have prevailing wage language while using bond funds. It is impossible for the School District to retroactively apply those requirements. Responsible Parties: ? Superintendent, Dan Skewis ? Business Manager, Geoff Lasich Anticipated Completion Date: Not applicable.
