AI Summary

  • Core Issue: 7 out of 10 quarterly expenditure reports were filed late with the Illinois State Board of Education.
  • Impacted Requirements: Reports must be submitted within 20 days after each quarter ends; failure to meet this led to a single audit for FY22.
  • Recommended Follow-up: Improve oversight and establish a process to ensure timely filing of reports, especially during personnel changes.

Finding Text

Reporting. All quarterly expenditure reports must be filed with the Illinois State Board of Education no later than 20 days after the end of the quarter. We noted that 7 of the 10 quarterly expenditure reports were not filed in a timely manner. There are no questioned costs. Out of the 10 quarterly reports submitted by the District for FY22, 7 were filed after the 20 day deadline. ESSER Digital Equity and ESSER II both had three reports submitted after the deadline and ESSER III had one report submitted a significant amount of time after the due date. This late report triggered the single audit for FY22. Reporting requirements were not met. This was an oversight by management personnel in the District due to turnover in the District Office. The District did not employ proper oversight to ensure that the quarterly expenditure reports were filed timely.
