In June 2025, once the District became aware that our documentation practices using PowerSchool were not acceptable, the District created a withdrawal guidance document that outlines the proper practice to withdraw a student. The District also created a guardian withdrawal form to accurately capture the withdrawal request, as well as a staff form to document all steps taken to determine the withdrawal when a guardian cannot be located. The District also runs reports to monitor student withdrawals and documentation to identify students who have not enrolled in another CA school. These corrective actions are managed by the Office Supervisors at the elementary and middle schools and by the Registrar at Arcadia High School.

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. Contact Person Responsible for Corrective Action: Chanda Cleaves, Executive Director of Finance Completion Date: This issue will be corrected moving forward.

Duplicate Title I Draw Condition: 2 CFR 200.403 of the Uniform Guidance mandates that only necessary, and allowable costs be drawn down off of federal grants. During the audit, we found that the prior fiscal year's accrued payroll, which was drawn off of the grant In the previous fiscal year, was drawn off of the grant a second time in the current fiscal year, creating questioned costs of $53,509. We recommend that management implement procedures to ensure that all accruals charged to federal grants are properly reversed in the subsequent fiscal year to ensure that duplicate draws on those same expenses are not made. Corrective Action: The District understands what happened and will work on developing procedures to prevent such duplicate draws do not occur in the future.

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.

Condition: During our review of the return of Title IV funds, we noted that there were 4 students in the fall that were reported late. Criteria: When a recipient of Title IV funds withdraws from an institution during a payment period or period of enrollment in which the recipient began attendance, the institution must perform a Return of Title IV Funds calculation to determine the amount of Title IV assistance the student earned as of the student’s withdrawal date. Cause: Student Financial Aid personnel did not have the fall end of term submission set timely. Effect: Funds required to be sent back to the Department of Education are late. Perspective: Significant personnel changes were made at the end of the June 30, 2024 year and the fall term was the first time submitting the end of term report. Spring submissions were all timely. Recommendation: We recommend training of Student Financial Aid personnel on the rules and regulations over return of funds. In addition, we recommend that submissions dates are pre-determined and verified that they will be timely. Views of Responsible Officials and Planned Corrective Actions: Dodge City Community College staff involved are undergoing training to learn requirements. Processes and procedures have been developed to ensure timely calculations and refunds. In addition, they have changed submission dates to avoid issues in the future.

Condition: We examined a sample of Title IV aid recipients to verify that information reported on the Enrollment Reporting roster file sent to the National Student Loan Data System (NSLDS) matched the student's academic files and found instances where students received Title IV aid during a semester but the status of withdrawn or graduate were not reported timely on the NSLDS Enrollment Reporting roster files sent during that semester. Criteria: Per the NSLDS Enrollment Reporting Guide, a school should report all students that NSLDS includes in its request to the school on a roster file. This includes timely and accurate reporting of the status of the student of withdrawn or graduate. Cause: The status of the students were not timely reported to NSLDS. Effect: Students could potentially not be placed in grace or repayment status when they should be. Perspective: All withdrawn students tested were reported accurately, but there were a few fall students that were not submitted timely. Spring students tested were timely. The new Director came on in at the end of the June 30, 2024 year and worked to correct the reporting. The fall period was the first time through the submission, but by Spring, no issues remained. Recommendation: The College has moved up the initial reporting date after semester the semester ends to correct the timeliness issue. Views of Responsible Officials and Planned Corrective Actions: Dodge City Community College staff involved in enrollment reporting to the NSLDS agree with this finding and have already taken steps to ensure timely reporting in the future.
