The Principal of each campus must review the testing binder and secure storage of materials after completing the signage document in the testing binder and ensure submission of the testing binder to the District Testing Coordinator by the scheduled completion dates.

Pell Grant Notification Letters Grantor: U.S. Department of Education Program: Student Financial Assistance Cluster Assistance Listing #: 84.063 Title: Federal Pell Grant Program Award Years: 7/2021 ? 6/2023 Management agrees with the finding and proposes the following Corrective Action Plan: Corrective Action Plan This issue is a result of no manual or system controls in place to prevent disbursement of financial aid to a student?s account if a student?s federal financial aid award notification was not yet communicated. This issue was corrected as soon as it was identified by changing our procedures to require Pell notification letters be sent as soon as funds are awarded and before funds are disbursed to a student?s account. As an additional precaution, Pell notification letters will be added to the nightly batch process in PeopleSoft to ensure letters are sent timely. Financial aid staff will also receive additional training in this area. Timing Procedures will be changed in May 2023 by Riley Niemand, Manager of Financial Aid, to require Pell notification letters be sent as soon as funds are awarded and prior to funds being disbursed to a student?s account. During May 2023, Riley Niemand will also provide additional training to financial aid staff in this area. Additionally, Riley Niemand started working with a consultant to add Pell notification letters to the daily batch process. This work is expected to be complete by June 2023.

Additionally, Enrollment Services will work with a PeopleSoft consultant and technical staff to customize our Student Information System to allow for the correct reporting of student status to the National Student Clearinghouse (NSC). Technical staff and a consultant will be engaged to perform an evaluation of all systems and practices related to enrollment reporting. The Enrollment Services and Financial Aid and Scholarships Offices will use various NSC and National Student Loan Data System (NSLDS) error reports to ensure student enrollment information, including program level information, is reported in an accurate and timely manner. Timing Grayson Layton, Registrar, will work with consultants and technical staff starting in May 2023 to begin making necessary adjustments to the Student Information System to allow for accurate reporting of student enrollment information and to evaluate systems and practices related to enrollment reporting. They will meet monthly throughout the year to monitor their progress with an expected completion in December 2023.

Certain matters were brought to our attention as a result of the audit process. These are described more fully in the Schedule of Findings and Questioned Costs. We evaluated the matters noted below, and have described our planned actions as a result. 2022-001 - Program Income - Food Service Fund Balance Management Assessment - We concur with the audit assessment regarding this matter. Planned Corrective Action - The District is aware of the USDA fund balance requirements. The District operated under the Seamless Summer Option during fiscal year 2021-22 which allowed all of our students to eat both breakfast and lunch for free. The District received a large amount of federal funding which in turn resulted in more fund balance than allowed by USDA at 6/30/2022 ($5,466). The Food Service Director and Business Manager are in the process of creating a spenddown plan to be submitted to MDE which will move fund balance within an allowable range.

PURPOSE: The Sliding Fee Schedule (SFS) Patient Demographic Changes process was created to ensure any patient who is certified on MHC Healthcare's (MHC) SFS and has changes on their Patient Profile (Profile) to their Family Size and/or Income are referred to the Outreach Department (OR) and that these changes are only made by an OR employee or the OR Manager. II. PROCESSES: A. Front Office (FO) staff print Profiles from the Electronic Health Record (EHR) for all patient appointments, which allows patients to make required changes to their demographics on file. This includes Family Size and/or Income. When a patient on MHC's SFS notifies FO of changes to the aforementioned demographics, the patient must be referred to the MHC OR Department for further review. Only OR staff may make these demographic changes in the EHR for SFS Patients. Ill. PROCEDURES: A. FO staff will print a Profile for all patient appointments. 1. FO will ensure all patients review the Profile for required changes to their demographics in the EHR system. a. If the patient is on the SFS and notates any changes required on the Profile to be made to their Family Size and/or Income, the FO will: 1) Immediately notify the health center's assigned OR employee that a patient in the office for an appointment has required changes to these demographics. a) Notification can be made via telephone or a Teams message. b) If the site does not have an assigned OR employee, notification will be made to the OR Manager. 2) The OR employee will respond to FO: a) The patient is placed on the OR schedule for an immediate appointment while the patient is in the health center and available, either prior to or after the clinical visit, depending on allowable time. b) An appointment will be scheduled while the patient is in the health center for a later date to review changes and the possible affect these changes may have on the patient's SFS certification and/or SFS tier. c) The patient is contacted via telephone by the OR employee to schedule an appointment to review the possible changes to the patient's SFS certification and/or SFS tier. d) When scheduling the appointment, the patient may schedule it at the Health Center or choose to have this appointment via telehealth. 3) Only OR employees may change the Family Size and/or Income demographics in the EHR for SFS patients. a) FO will make all necessary demographic changes in the EHR, excluding Family Size and/or Income. b. FO will scan the Profile into the EHR and forward a copy to the appropriate OR employee. 2. The OR Manager will ensure that FO staff have a current list of OR employees, along with appropriate contact information and location. Category: GENERAL MARANA HEALTH CENTER, INC.

Finding 2022-001 ? Financial Statement and Federal Awards Statement of Condition: Nutrition was not segregating duties of accounting and administrative responsibilities for internal control purposes. Status: Coming out of the pandemic impacted the ability to complete the segregation of duties process, due to the lack of staff. As a result, Nutrition is working to develop the processes that will help to implement the procedures that will segregate duties and will continue working with team members to implement processes to segregate duties moving forward. At this time, the development is on-going and will take place when the business growth warrants and supports such an action. Presently, adding additional staff to provide another layer of preparation, review, and monitoring would outweigh the costs.
