Finding Text

Finding #2025-005; Education Stabilization Fund – CFDA No. 84.425; Year Ended June 30, 2025 CONDITION: The District’s internal control over compliance failed to prevent errors in the ESSER annual report filed in fiscal year 2025 (for fiscal year 2024). CRITERIA: Internal controls over federal programs are to be sufficient to ensure compliance with the Education Stabilization Fund grant requirements, including properly submitted reports, as discussed in Compliance Finding 2025-003. CAUSE: The cause of the internal control deficiency over the annual reporting was a lack of oversight by management, which allowed a draft report to be submitted. EFFECT: The effect of this deficiency in internal controls over federal programs was the District’s failure to comply with the Reporting requirements of the Education Stabilization Fund (specifically ESSER reporting).

Corrective Action Plan

Action Taken: Management agrees with the recommendations and will have the business manager compare the support for the amounts reported to the District’s books and records prior to submission. Further, management will implement a review process to confirm the accuracy of the amounts reported, as well as maintain the supporting information. Proposed Completion Date: March 31, 2026
