Views of Responsible Officials and Planned Corrective Action: CCPS School Board had approved updated procurement policies in July 2021 in response to the FY20 management letter comment on Uniform Guidance Policies. Upon receipt of the FY21 management letter, which included a repeat comment on Uniform Guidance Policies for the school board, CCPS staff contacted the previous auditors and shared with them the updated policies that the school board had previously updated and approved. The prior audit firm confirmed all required policies that pertained to the management letter comment had been updated. The new audit firm does not believe the school board policy updates that were approved previously were sufficient. Management has begun to review the existing written procurement policies and procedures and will complete another update to comply with the Uniform Guidance no later than May 2023. If the Federal Audit Clearinghouse has questions regarding this plan, please call Marcia Stevens, Chief Operations Officer at 804-633-5088 ext 1095. Sincerely yours, Marcia S. Stevens, CPA Chief Operations Officer
