Wage rate requirements for contracts using 84.425 Education Stabilization Funds a. Type of deficiency: Material Weakness i. Condition: The District did not obtain copies of certified payroll and statements of compliance from contractors that worked on construction contracts in excess of $2,000 financed by federal assistance funds. A material weakness in controls over compliance with wage rate requirements was identified. ii. Cause: As the District does not typically fund construction projects with federal funds, the District’s staff were unaware of the requirement to obtain copies of certified payroll and statements of compliance from contractors that worked on construction contracts in excess of $2,000 financed by federal assistance funds. iii. Effect or potential effect : Without adequate internal controls over wage rate requirements and including the required provisions in construction contracts in excess of $2,000 financed by ESF funds, the District cannot demonstrate compliance with the wage rate requirements of the Davis-Bacon Act requirements iv. Questioned costs: Questioned costs, if any, are indeterminable. v. Context: Out of a population of 11 contracts, 4 contracts were selected to test wage rate requirements. The District did not obtain copies of certified payroll and statements of compliance for the 4 contracts selected. vi. Recommendation: The District should obtain an understanding of all compliance requirements and implement controls to ensure compliance with federal wage rate requirements. b. District staff representatives from Facilities, Business Services, and Grant Accounting will participate in at least one Oregon Bureau of Labor and Industry (BOLI) seminar titled Prevailing Wage Rate Laws for Public Agencies in Spring 2025. The Grant Manager will be directed to provide prevailing wage training specific for federal grants to Facilities and Grant Accounting staff . c. Date of scheduled BOLI seminars: February 6, 2025, March 19, 2025, and April 29, 2025. Additional training to be done by June 30, 2025.

Suspension and debarment for purchase with 84.027 Special Education (IDEA) Cluster funds. a. Type of deficiency: Significant Deficiency i. Condition: The District did not verify that an entity was not suspended or debarred or otherwise excluded from participating in a covered transaction. A significant deficiency in controls over compliance with procurement requirements was identified. ii. Cause: The District utilized a purchase order rather than a contract for a transaction in excess of $25,000. iii. Effect or potential effect: Prior to entering into a covered transaction, the District did not verify that an entity was not suspended or debarred or otherwise excluded from participating in the transaction. iv. Questioned costs: Questioned costs, if any, are indeterminable v. Context: Of a population of 2 transactions, 1 transaction did not have documentation that the District verified that the vendor was not suspended or debarred or otherwise excluded from participating in a covered transaction. vi. Recommendation: The District should ensure that controls are implemented to ensure that the District completes a verification that an entity is not suspended or debarred or otherwise excluded prior to entering into a covered transaction b. Plan of acti on: The District changed its financial system to automatically notify staff that a suspension and debarment check is needed for all POs and contracts that are $25,000 and over, regardless of funding. c. Date of implementation: December 27, 2024
Indirect rate on a portion of federal grant 84.027 Special Education (IDEA) Cluster funding. a.

Indirect rate on a portion of federal grant 84.027 Special Education (IDEA) Cluster funding. a. Type of deficiency: Significant Deficiency i Condition: The District’s controls did not detect and correct an improper indirect cost rate applied to the federal program on a timely basis. A significant deficiency in controls over compliance with allowable cost requirements was identified. ii. Cause: The District changed from being a contractor to a subrecipient for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2024. This change resulted in a different allowable indirect cost rate. iii. Effect or potential effect: Prior to correcting, the District had $878 of indirect charges in excess of the allowable rate charged to the federal program. iv. Questioned costs: As the District corrected the error, there appears to be no remaining questioned costs. v. Context: The District’s accounting system used an incorrect cost rate for indirect charges prior to correcting. vi. Recommendation : The District should ensure that controls related to indirect cost charges are implemented and operating effectively. b. Plan of acti on: The Grant Manager will be directed to create sufficient internal controls to confirm indirect rates in the accounting system match grant award agreements. c. Date of implementation: November 27, 2024

Federal Program: Housing Choice Vouchers, Federal Assistance Listing No. 14.871 Criteria: The PHA is required to submit information monthly via the Voucher Management System (VMS). The Department reviews VMS data to identify issues of concern to PHAs and / or the Department. VMS is used for budget formulation, utilization analysis, and funding allocations. Condition: The VMS category UML contained a reporting discrepancy of 38 UML for the year, a variance of 3.26%. A HUD Validation Review for March 2022 through February 2023 showed a similar discrepancy. Questioned costs: $0.00 Effect: Timely reporting prior to funding calculation can make a significant difference to housing the number of families in the communities that PHA serve. Cause: The PHA provided detail software reports that did not always match what was reposted in VMS. Recommendation: The PHA should enter adjustments and revisions as they are discovered to ensure accurate data is available for utilization and budget projection purposes. Views of responsible officials and planned corrective actions: We will comply with the auditor’s recommendation and the HUD recommendations from their recent review and take the following steps: 1. PHA will move families out of the system and submit the corresponding 50058’s immediately upon termination. 2. PHA will ensure that 5008’s are accepted into the VMS system to accurately reflect program activity, including move-in/outs and port-ins/outs in a timely manner. 3. PHA will enter adjustments and revisions as they are discovered to ensure accurate data. As the VMS data changes in our system, the corrected reports will be forwarded to the fee accountant to ensure accurate data reporting. 4. PHA will ensure that EOP actions for tenants correspond to the dates that the tenants have been terminated from the program. 5. For Quality Control, the PHA will review the VMS reports at the beginning of the month and the end of the month, monitoring changes that may need to be reported, including move-ins, move-outs, port-in/outs, and correcting of corresponding dates, and removal of expired vouchers. This data will be reviewed by the Housing Manager and the Executive Director.

SIGNIFICANT DEFICIENCY IN INTERNAL CONTROL OVER COMPLIANCE – U.S. DEPARTMENT OF EDUCATION, PASSED THROUGH MINNESOTA DEPARTMENT OF EDUCATION, SPECIAL EDUCATION CLUSTER – FEDERAL ALN 84.027 (INCLUDING COVID-19 FUNDING) AND ALN 84.173 2024-001 Internal Control Over Compliance with Federal Suspension and Debarment Requirements Finding Summary 2 CFR § 180 requires Independent School District No. 273 (the District) to establish and maintain effective internal control over compliance with requirements applicable to federal program expenditures, including suspension and debarment requirements applicable to federal programs expenditures, including suspension and debarment requirements applicable to special education cluster federal program expenditures. During our audit, we noted the District did not have sufficient controls in place within its special education cluster to assure it was not contracting for goods or services with parties that are suspended or debarred, or whose principals are suspended or debarred from participating in contracts involving the expenditure of federal program funds. Corrective Action Plan Actions Planned – The District will update its procedures relating to suspension and debarment to ensure that, in the future, compliance with this requirement is verified and documented prior to expending $25,000 or more of federal funds with any single vendor. Official Responsible – Mert Woodard, Director of Finance and Operations. Planned Completion Date – June 30, 2025. Disagreement With or Explanation of Finding – The District agrees with this finding. Plan to Monitor – Mert Woodard, Director of Finance and Operations, will monitor the implementation of corrective actions deemed necessary to ensure compliance with federal suspension and debarment requirements in the future.
