Management Response The Charter School will review the NYSED Grants Finance reports via the NYSED website for the July 2022 – June 2023 reporting period to determine actual payments received and total amounts shown in the Education Stabilization Fund Annual Reporting on a cash basis. This will ensure that the information is shown in accordance with the instructions for the NYSED report and related US DOE requirements. The school will proactively reach out to NYSED to inform them of any variances and will update reporting should NYSED re-open the Education Stabilization Fund Annual Reporting. Additionally, the Charter School will adhere to reporting requirements for the 2023-24 Education Stabilization Fund Annual Reporting and implement a new internal control allowing for multiple and secondary reviews of federal grant reporting requirements prior to submission, in an attempt to identify inaccuracies proactively.
