March 12, 2026 Federal Award Finding: U.S. Dept. Of Education Ellenville Central School District 28 Maple Avenue Ellenville, New York 12428 (845) 647-0115 Corrective Action Plan Pass-through - NYS Education Department Title I Grants to Local Education Agencies (ALN 84.010) Finding 2025-001 - Time and Effort Certifications Criteria - Under 2 CFR §200.430(i), charges to federal awards for salaries and wages must be supported by appropriate documentation that accurately reflects the work performed. Documentation must be signed by the employee or a responsible supervisory official having firsthand knowledge of the work performed by the employee. Condition - During testing of payroll expenditures charged to the Title I program, we noted one instance where the time and effort certification was not signed by the employee. The certification covered services charged to the Title I program during the fiscal year. Cause - The unsigned certification appears to be a result of oversight in the review and approval process for time and effort documentation. Effect - Without a signed certification, the School District cannot demonstrate full compliance with federal documentation requirements for payroll costs charged to the Title I program. This increases the risk that salary costs charged to the program may not be properly supported. Recommendation - We recommend the School District strengthen its review procedures to ensure all time and effort certifications are signed and properly retained prior to submission for payroll processing or federal reporting. Management Response - School District management concurs with the finding and will take corrective action. Corrective Action Plan - Management will review procedures in place over the time and effort certifications and ensure certifications are properly signed and retained prior to submission for payroll processing or federal reporting.

Condition: Discrepancies were noted in the examination of the Section 8 Housing Choice Voucher tenant files due to intermittent errors in tenant income calculations, misapplication of Payment Standards and Utility Allowances, and misalignment across the HAP Contract, the Request for Tenancy Approval, and the Lease Agreements.

To this end, tenant file processing checklists will be developed and integrated into the file calculations and record keeping. In addition, quarterly internal audits of tenant file samples will be conducted in order to identify any discrepancies and ensure program compliance. Targeted staff training will take place as needed. Management will implement the expanded procedures necessary to clear this finding by June 30, 2026. Timeframe: All revised internal control procedures will be fully implemented by June 30, 2026. Responsible parties: Stella Collins, Section 8 HCV Supervisor Alan Degner, Executive Director

Condition: Out of 40 students tested for return to Title IV, we identified 2 students whose calculation were performed outside of the required timeframe. Planned Corrective Action: Once the report identifying students who have completely withdrawn from their classes is ran, the calculations are done (currently by the Dean) The completed report is given to the FA Specialist to review and send the letters. The specialist then gives the report to the Assistant Director who then prints off a Return of Title IV summary report showing the calculations and charges for final review. Had this last step been done previously, it would have been identified that the Institutional Charges were missing and not requiring corrections.

Finding 2025-001 – Education Stabilization – Equipment and Real Property Management Context: For the 4 sample items tested, the acquisitions were not reported on the capital asset listing for the School Corporation as of June 30, 2025. For 3 of the sample items, the School Corporation expended $2,530,939 on building renovations which was charged to the ESSER III (84.425U) grant award. For the other sample item, the School Corporation expended $17,513 for playground equipment that was charged to the ESSER III grant.

Contact Person Responsible for Corrective Action: Kyle Mealy Contact Phone Number: (765)726-0594 Views of Responsible Official: We concur with the finding. Description of Corrective Action Plan: Marion Community Schools acknowledges that certain capital assets purchased with ESSER III funds were not included on the School Corporation’s capital asset listing as of June 30, 2025, and that the listing did not include all required elements, including the source of funding.
