Corrective Action Plan

Management’s Response/Corrective Action Plan: The management of the District understands the importance of maintaining appropriate authorization and documentation of the Title I grant requirements, including the requirement to remove students from the graduation cohort. The cause of this deficiency resulted from a significant change in District management which resulted in lack of appropriate documentation for some students removed from the cohort. The District's corrective action plan includes reviewing all Title I grant requirements on a regular basis to ensure all requirements are maintained in a timely and appropriate manner. Specifically, the administrative team of the RSU will meet on a regular basis to ensure all graduation cohort requirements are documented and internally reviewed for compliance.

Corrective Action Plan

The Finance Director has therefore documented these procedures in writing so that they are available for any future audits.
