2022-019 Recommendation: The Board approved a $750 teacher pay increase effective November 1, 2021, and a $750 instructional employee pay increase effective February 1, 2022.

2022-019 Recommendation: The Board approved a $750 teacher pay increase effective November 1, 2021, and a $750 instructional employee pay increase effective February 1, 2022. The pay increases became effective during the fiscal year and the calculation to prorate the increase was incorrectly performed. The School Board should ensure that salary increases given during the fiscal year are correctly calculated and paid. Corrective Action Plan: The Employee Services Department will have all salaries reviewed after they are set up in the accounting system. Connie Morvant, HR Generalist, will complete this function moving forward. All 2022-2023 hires have been audited and corrected. John Mouton, Director of Employee Services, and Eryn Hollier, Coordinator of Employee Services will review the salary schedule when updates are made. Also, when having to calculate salary increases or raises for a specific group of people during the year, the raise will be calculated according to the individual employees? number of working days remaining on their contract for the year. Employee Services will also consult Business Services as we have done in the past to ensure the raises and salaries are calculated correctly.

2022-018 Recommendation: There were inadequate controls over documentation in personnel files. Supporting documentation relating to education necessary to meet minimum job requirements and experience are not being properly maintained in the personnel files. The School Board should adhere to their policies and procedures and ensure that all required documentation is maintained. Corrective Action Plan: Moving forward, Pam Belmore has been assigned the task of auditing personnel files to ensure the correct experience and education information is in the files. She is starting with the grant-funded positions first, per Anthony Mouton?s suggestion. Also, Madeline Guilbeau, Employee Services data Technician, has been given the role of checking certification requirements for non-teaching/non-instructional personnel. Some employees are given a grace period of 60 to 90 days to pass different certification/licensure exams. Ms. Guilbeau will be responsible for ensuring that these employees meet said requirements. She will begin with ensuring that all grant-funded employees are up to date and then move on to other employees.

2022-017 Recommendation: The School Board requested grant reimbursement for amounts paid by the self-insurance fund to cover claims for COVID-19 hospitalizations. In accordance with grant guidelines, the funds may be used to implement public health protocols, such as COVID-19 testing and vaccination, meant to decrease the spread of COVID-19. Payment for hospitalizations to treat infections does not appear to be allowable within the grant guidelines of implementing public health protocols. The School Board should implement policies and procedures to ensure that all expenditures under grant programs are allowable under grant guidelines. Corrective Action Plan: The Lafayette Parish School System (LPSS) Self-Funded Group Health Insurance fund paid $756,609 in hospitalization claims that were directly caused by Covid-19 according to the hospitals that provided hospitalization services to our employees. Had the Covid-19 pandemic not occurred, LPSS would not have experienced an increase in claim expenses that were directly caused by Covid-19 which is categorically tracked by hospitals. During the covid pandemic, LPSS had several conference calls with Louisiana Department of Education (LDOE) representatives concerning the allowability of Covid Testing, Vaccinations and Covid Hospitalizations. The objective was to remain compliant with all federal guidelines concerning these special funds. After many hours of conference calls and consultations with LDOE staff, we were informed these expenditures were allowed in addition to a written response. In anticipation of these charges, LPSS submitted an ESSER II budget to the LDOE, which included Covid Hospitalization claims, and the budget was approved. Based on LDOE?s budget approval and prior verbal and written responses, LPSS staff believed they were clear to proceed and recover from these unplanned Covid-19 hospitalization expenditures. As a result of this audit finding, LPSS will appeal to the LDOE and the Federal Government for relief and an eventual inclusion of guidelines for self-funded entities such as LPSS. Unlike other school districts, LPSS is self-insured and assumes the financial risks and obligation of each employee?s medical and prescription claims. We believe the writers of the federal guidelines / FAQs may not have been privy to the operational affairs of school districts that are self-insured to carve out language specific to our operations. On December 13, 2022, a request for review was sent to LDOE in response to this audit finding. The LDOE plans to utilize their resources and contacts while enlisting the help of their contracted attorneys who specialize in federal grants to provide an initial opinion on the allowability of Covid Hospitalization expenditures. It may take several months before an official response is provided by the Federal Government.

2022-016 Recommendation: The School Board did not report expenditures in the amount of $1,403,046 for the ESSERF II Formula grant on its Schedule of Expenditures of Federal Awards for the year ending June 30, 2021. The School Board should implement policies and procedures to ensure that all expenditures under grant programs are accurately tracked and captured for proper presentation within the Schedule of Expenditures of Federal Awards. Corrective Action Plan: Accountants shall receive training to ensure all related expenditures are reported on the Schedule of Expenditures of Federal Awards (SEFA) in each respective year. Each Accountant will review their respective grant expenditures and ensure that all applicable expenditures are recorded properly for accuracy and completeness. A second reviewer will ascertain the accuracy of the recorded expenditures on the SEFA.

U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development 2022-001: Section 8 Housing Assistance Payments Program ? Assistance Listing No. 14.195 Recommendation: Management should review its internal control procedures to ensure proper oversight over the payroll disbursement process surrounding earned time payouts. Explanation of disagreement with audit finding: There is no disagreement with the audit finding.

This process is for all employees that remain employed but are no longer eligible to accrue earned time, thus requiring their earned time to be paid out.

2022-001- Noncompliance regarding Reporting ALN #93.498 Provider Relief Funds U.S. Department of Health & Human Services As soon as I was aware of the mistake that was made for the Single Federal Audit for Phase @ & 3 of the CARES Act funding, it was evident that I used amounts that was in a FY instead of CY financials. The program we use, Share Point for billing and receipts automatically defaults to FY which again, was incorrect. This went through 4 different hands and did not get noticed before reporting. I immediately contacted HRSA Provider Relief Support to report the incorrect information and to see if I could revise my reporting. Unfortunately, that can't be done. One the deadline for reporting takes place, it is then locked and cannot be retrieved. I asked if there was anything I could do and her reply was to keep the corrections with what I reported in case I was to be audited. Ongoing reporting will be confirmed for the correct time frames as required.

Since fever scanners were no longer in use, the laptop had been given to an employee and could not be located.
