SIGNIFICANT DEFICIENCY

The Impact Aid application incorrectly included 2 children who were not actively enrolled as of the survey date and also incorrectly reported one child twice. The three children incorrectly included children did not have disabilities, but were included in the total children residing on Indian Lands. For total children residing on land, the application reported a count of 461 count, but should be 458 per our audited enrollment data. Criteria: The District is responsible for reporting a correct count of federally connected children in various categories on their Impact Aid application, including children with disabilities. Cause: The procedures in place to monitor accuracy of the final application before submission were not sufficient to avoid detected errors. Effect: The District may receive incorrect Impact Aid under the grant application than is appropriate for federally connected children if an incorrect number of children is reported. Recommendation: District personnel should enhance control procedures to monitor the application process to ensure correct information is being reported.

Recommendation: District personnel should enhance control procedures to monitor the application process to ensure correct information is being reported.

Corrective Action Plan

When creating the census for the Impact Aid application, we reviewed the enrollment records, but incorrectly manually added children who were not enrolled as of the survey date and inadvertently listed a child twice. We will add additional procedures to review the list of children to ensure it is accurate prior to submitting the application.

Special Tests & Provisions
SIGNIFICANT DEFICIENCY

The District did not monitor completeness of weekly certified payroll submission for federally funded construction contracts. Criteria: Construction projects paid with Education Stabilization Funds are subject to wage rate requirements. The District is responsible for monitoring that all weekly certified payrolls are received. Cause: The contractor did not provide a current subcontractor list to the District noting who would subject to certified weekly payroll and did not provide weekly reports to the District indicating which subcontractors were onsite. The District did receive the contractor’s certified weekly payrolls, but did not receive any for the subcontractors until we requested them during our audit procedures. Effect: It is possible that not all contractors required to certify weekly payroll submitted their wage rate certifications. Recommendation: The District should enhance control procedures to monitor completeness of the documents provided by the general contractor.

Corrective Action Plan

The District has received the subcontractor list and is gathering the certified payroll certifications for the subcontractors onsite. We will work with the general contractor to ensure the documents we have are complete. We will monitor that these controls are taking place as planned.

SIGNIFICANT DEFICIENCY

On the application, one child was incorrectly included in the count for Children Without Disabilities Who Reside on Federal Land. The child does not reside on federal land and does not have a parent who is employed on federal property therefore should have been included in the count for non-federally connected students as part of total membership. Criteria: Annually, the District must submit an application providing counts of federally connected children in various categories. Cause: Procedures in place to monitor accuracy of the final application before submission were not sufficient to avoid undetected errors. Effect: The District may receive more Impact Aid under the grant application than it is eligible due to one additional child incorrectly included in the count for federally connected children in general. Recommendation: The District should add a formula to the source census file to compare the number of children for each category to the application.

Reporting
SIGNIFICANT DEFICIENCY

The District inadvertently reported the wrong number of children with disabilities living on Indian land on their Impact Aid application. Criteria: The District is responsible for reporting a correct count of federally connected children in various categories on their Impact Aid application. Cause: In the first year of the new application process, the District did not seek additional guidance prior to submitting their application and inadvertently reported the incorrect number of children with disabilities living on Indian land. Effect: It is possible that the District would have received additional funding based on reporting on their application the incorrect count of children with disabilities living on Indian land. Context: Due to a new application process, the District inadvertently entered 179 (the number of children living on taxable land) instead of 119 for children with disabilities living on Indian land, causing the number of federally connected children to be overstated by 63 children. Recommendation: The District should enhance control procedures to monitor the application process to ensure correct information is being reported.

Corrective Action Plan

Views of Responsible Officials and Planned Corrective Action: The District contacted the U.S. Department of Education and made the necessary correction on their application. No funding had been received yet based on the incorrect information on the original application. The District has enhanced their knowledge of the new application process and will assign personnel to monitor the application process to ensure correct information is being reported.
