Management's Response We acknowledge the findings and recommendation regarding the credit card approval process. We take internal controls seriously and are committed to ensuring that all purchasing activity is conducted in accordance with established policy. As of May 2025, we did implement a revised and more comprehensive credit card policy All risks to reduce unauthorized and inappropriate charges were considered, evaluated and are currently in practice and have been. This was stated to be in full effect for fiscal year 2026, however, was enacted immediately. This updated policy strengthens the approval framework, reinforces authorization thresholds, and establishes clearer accountability for all cardholders and designated approvers across the organization. We want to affirm that, under the current policy, strict adherence to credit card procedures is being practiced and enforced. All purchases are receiving appropriate authorization in accordance with the established approval hierarchy, and management is providing diligent oversight to ensure compliance on an ongoing basis. We are confident that the controls in place right now adequately address the conditions noted during the audit period.

As such, the Indiana Department of Education created and published the Indiana Assessments Policy Manual. As a part of the assessment security, any individual who administers, handles, or has access to secure test materials at the school or school corporation shall complete assessment training and sign a testing security and integrity statement that remains on file in the appropriate building-level office each year. Each individual required to sign the testing integrity agreement shall sign the form by an established date.

Currently, the Skyward system allows all school lunch employees to make changes to student benefit status, and there is no indication or record within the system as to who makes these changes. Additionally, income eligibility guidelines in the system that determine whether students are eligible based on income are updated by the system automatically every year. The school is required to perform annual review to ensure these guidelines are accurate. However, no annual review is done by school corporation staff.

Unified School District #446 Independence, Kansas Corrective Action Plan March 3, 2026 Cognizant or Oversight Agency for Audit Unified School District #446 respectfully submits the following corrective action plan for the year ended June 30, 2025. Name and address of independent public accounting firm: Jarred, Gilmore & Phillips, PA, P.O. Box 779, 1815 S Santa Fe, Chanute, Kansas 66720. Audit period: Year ended June 30, 2025 The findings from the March 3, 2026 schedule of findings and questioned costs are discussed below. The findings are numbered consistently with the numbers assigned in the schedule. Finding: 2025-001 –Reporting Condition: During our testing of meal reporting, we tested two months of meal report claims submitted to the State and traced to individual count sheets per school. It was discovered that on one day, eligible student meals were overreported on the claim for reimbursement. Recommendation: Policies and procedures should be written to provide internal control over meal reporting. We recommend the District establish a review process, such as having another individual review count sheets and compare them to the number of meals submitted, to ensure all meals submitted for reimbursement are for the correct number of meals. Action Taken: We concur with the recommendation and since the 2025 fiscal audit took place, we have updated review procedures to ensure that all meal reports are reviewed to ensure that they are being properly reported. Anticipated Complete Date: November 11, 2025 Should the Oversight Agency for Audit have questions regarding this plan, please contact Gina Godinez, Director of Finance, at (620) 332-1800.

The District will implement internal controls over the suspension and debarment requirement and add this requirement to the procurement process at the District. In addition, we recommend that the District periodically review federal expenditure reports to identify vendors that may have been paid with federal grants in excess of the $25,000 suspension and debarment threshold to prevent potential noncompliance. All district employees who are approved to obtain bids for purchases have already been informed and trained on the expectation on obtaining proof of suspension and debarment requirements from any vendor they receive bids from or plan on making purchases from that will exceed the $25,000 threshold. Responsible Official: Mandee Campbell, Director of Business Services Anticipated Completion Date: April 1, 2026

Condition: The audit identified instances in which enrollment status changes for withdrawn students were not reported to the National Student Loan Data System (NSLDS) within the required 60-day timeframe and in some cases the withdrawal date reported did not reflect the student’s actual Last Date of Attendance (LDA). Cause: The discrepancies occurred because the academic term end date was used instead of the student’s actual Last Date of Attendance for certain withdrawn students. In addition, in limited cases enrollment status changes for students who did not return for a subsequent term were not reported within the required 60-day window due to the timing of non-returning student reporting cycles. Corrective Action Plan: Sauk Valley Community College will implement revised procedures and additional monitoring controls to ensure that enrollment reporting to NSLDS complies with federal requirements. The College submits enrollment reporting through the National Student Clearinghouse, which transmits enrollment data to NSLDS on the College’s behalf. The College utilizes an internal system to generate enrollment reporting files based on institutional enrollment and withdrawal data. The Registrar reviews the file prior to transmission to the National Student Clearinghouse for submission to NSLDS. Enrollment reporting is currently submitted on a monthly basis. To address the reporting discrepancies identified in the audit, the College will implement the following corrective actions: 1. Accurate Withdrawal Date Reporting Procedures will be updated to ensure that the effective withdrawal date reported to NSLDS reflects the student’s actual Last Date of Attendance (LDA) recorded in institutional records rather than the academic term end date or administrative processing date. 2. Monthly Reconciliation Process The Registrar and Financial Aid Office will perform a monthly reconciliation of institutional withdrawal records to NSLDS enrollment reporting data to confirm that enrollment status changes and withdrawal dates have been reported accurately and within the required reporting timeframe. 3. Monitoring of Potential Unofficial Withdrawals Students who receive all “F” or “W” grades will be reviewed as potential unofficial withdrawals to ensure that the correct Last Date of Attendance is identified and reported when applicable. 4. Monitoring of Non-Returning Students Students who do not return for the summer or fall term following the spring semester will be reviewed by the end of June to determine whether a withdrawal status must be reported to NSLDS. The College will follow the National Student Clearinghouse guidance regarding non-required term enrollment reporting to support accurate status reporting. 5. Ongoing Compliance Oversight Financial Aid and the Registrar will work collaboratively to review enrollment reporting data on an ongoing basis to ensure compliance with federal reporting requirements, including the 60-day reporting requirement for enrollment status changes. 6. Staff Training and Procedural Reinforcement The Registrar and the Financial Aid Office will review NSLDS enrollment reporting guidance and applicable federal requirements with relevant staff to reinforce proper reporting procedures and ensure consistent understanding of withdrawal date reporting requirements and timelines. These procedures will provide additional oversight to ensure that withdrawal dates are reported accurately and that enrollment status changes are transmitted to NSLDS within the required timeframe. Responsible Officials: Jennifer Schultz, Dean of Student Services, Lizzie Harper, Director of Financial Assistance, and Meagan Rivera, Registrar Planned Implementation Date: The revised procedures will be implemented immediately, beginning with the current enrollment reporting cycle, and will continue as an ongoing compliance control.

The correction has been completed in the system to ensure compliance and accuracy of reporting.
