Audit Finding Reference: 2025-001 Planned Corrective Action: The Student Services and Food Service departments in Southwick-Tolland-Granville Regional School District will immediately ensure complete implementation of our internal control protocols regarding procurement. For any purchase that requires competitive procurement, we will conduct market research, obtain multiple quotes, or use the IFB/RFP process, if necessary. We will only engage in sole source procurement when we have determined that there is only one single provider of the good or service, and we will document that determination accordingly. We will enter into contracts with vendors when purchasing goods or services from them. We will use purchase orders to ensure that funds are encumbered and not over expended. Lastly, we will keep all procurement documentation on file, including quotes, bids, and sole source letters. Staff who engage in our purchasing process, including our Director of Student Services, our Director of School Nutrition, our Supervisor of Buildings and Grounds, and our Director of Technology will be retrained in our procurement protocols and will be expected to implement them immediately going forward. The Director of Finance and Operations will review all purchase requisitions to ensure that the appropriate steps have been taken. Planned Implementation Date of Corrective Action: April 17, 2026 Person Responsible for Corrective Action: Nicholas Bernier Director of Finance and Operations Southwick-Tolland-Granville Regional School District
