MATERIAL WEAKNESS

We have identified that the District did not file the report by December 1, 2024. The District filed this required report to the Colorado Department of Education on June 3, 2025. Cause: The District was noncompliance with this requirement. Internal controls and processes related to the reporting requirements at the District were not properly established and implemented in order to mitigate the noncompliance. This District experienced significant turnover during the grant period of this award. Effect: The District has a high likelihood of noncompliance with this requirement with the ESSER and potentially other federal grant programs. Repeat Finding: No. Questioned Costs: None. Recommendation: We recommend that the District establish and implement a policy and process that will consistently monitor the reporting requirements for federal awards and make sure that they are submitted to the grantor agency in a timely manner. In addition, we recommend that an internal control review process is established to verify that all the required reports are submitted to the grantor agency in a timely manner.

2025-002: Material Weakness in Financial Reporting (L) Federal Assistance Listing Number: 84.425D and 84.425U Federal Award Year: 2022 Program Title: Education Stabilization Fund – Elementary and Secondary School Emergency Relief (ESSER) Name of Federal Agency: U.S. Department of Education Name of Pass-Through Entity: Colorado Department of Education COVID-19 Program: Yes Criteria: Award letter federal provisions from the pass-through entity states that the grantee shall report data elements to SAM.gov and to the pass-through entity as required. The pass-through entity, the Colorado Department of Education, required that the District submit a report by December 1, 2024.

Corrective Action Plan

Ignacio School District has already taken steps in changing the overall process of managing our Federal Award grants and year-end closing entries. Our district has implemented regularly scheduled monthly Requests For Funds and budget reviews for each grant to confirm that the grants are being spent according to their approved applications. This includes, but is not limited to assuring that the district charges a de minimis indirect cost rate and submits End of Year Financial Reports to CDE in a timely manner. The district has assigned responsibility of Federal Grant oversight to new personnel. To assure a segregation of duties, there are three district office personnel involved in the management and oversight of the grants. The district has also been trained on proper closing entry procedures for all year-end closing entries and SEFA requirements.

MATERIAL WEAKNESS

The District has not prepared a schedule of expenditures of federal awards (SEFA), did not have an auditor conduct Single Audits on major Federal programs, and failed to submit the required report to the Federal Audit Clearinghouse (FAC.gov) for the fiscal years ended June 30, 2022, 2023, and 2024 (prior three fiscal years). The FAC report is required to be submitted the earlier of 30 calendar days after receipt of the auditor’s report, or nine months after the end of the audit period. Cause: The District lacked internal controls and awareness of the requirements noted above to prepare the SEFA, conduct an annual Single Audit, and submit an annual FAC.gov report in a timely manner. Effect: The District was noncompliant with multiple requirements of the 2CFR200 for fiscal years ended June 30, 2022, 2023, and 2024. This noncompliance impacts multiple federal grant programs and may impact future federal awards and require increased oversight, heightened risk classification, and/or special monitoring, if imposed by the grantor. The District had conversations with the Colorado Department of Education and obtain an understanding of the impacts of this noncompliance. Additional requirements may be imposed on the District by grantors as a result of this noncompliance and backlog of Single Audits on major Federal programs. Repeat Finding: No.   Questioned Costs: Questioned costs are not known, because the Single Audits on major Federal programs for fiscal years ended June 30, 2022, 2023, and 2024, was not performed. However, there is likelihood and potential for questioned costs or fraud that has not been identified without the completion of the Single Audits on major Federal programs. Recommendation: The District must discuss with the grantors regarding this noncompliance and potential remedies, including the backlog of Single Audits on major Federal programs for fiscal years ended June 30, 2022, 2023, and 2024. In the future, we highly recommend that the District maintain proper internal controls and accurate grant records to prepare an accurate SEFA that will allow auditors to perform the Single Audits on major Federal programs, and submit the FAC report in a timely manner. We also recommend that the District evaluate the options to remedy the backlog of Single Audits and internally determine the best course of action for the District.

Ignacio School District has already taken steps in changing the overall process of managing our Federal Award grants and overall year-end closing entries. The district will be working closely with our new auditors to ensure that Single Audits are completed annually moving forward. Our district has implemented scheduled monthly Requests For Funds and budget reviews for each grant to confirm that the grants are being spent according to their approved applications. The Superintendent and Finance Director meet to review the overall process to ensure grant compliance.
