Corrective Action Plan

Life Academy has adopted policies and procedures to ensure compliance with Uniform Guidance Section 2 CFR, Part 200. The district only seeks reimbursement for federal expenditures; therefore, funds are not requested in advance of the expense. This process ensures drawn downs for federal disbursements occur after the expense to prevent excessive cash on hand. Anticipated Implementation Date: Implemented on October of 2024 Responsible Party: Chief School Financial Officer and Superintendent
