During fiscal 1999, the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) revised the chart of accounts required to be used by HUD projects.

We recommend that Ibero Housing Corporation (Housing) and Edison Housing Development Fund Corporation (Edison) change its chart of accounts to conform to HUD guidelines.

(7) Residual Receipts

Housing and Edison's HUD Regulatory Agreements require that any surplus cash, determined in accordance with the HUD calculation, held by HUD projects be deposited into a separate interest bearing bank account within 60 days after year-end. Any subsequent use of these funds requires HUD approval. We recommend that Housing and Edison comply with their respective HUD Regulatory Agreements and calculate and deposit surplus cash, if any, within 60 days after year-end.

SUGGESTIONS FOR THE CONSIDERATION OF MANAGEMENT

JULY. 1999

(1) Review of Prior Year Suggestions

In connection with our audit of the financial statements of Ibero-American Action League, Inc. (Ibero) and Affiliates as of and for the year ended March 31, 1999, we reviewed the status of our prior year management letter recommendations. These recommendations related to the following:

Accounts Receivable, Accounting Department Staffing, Retirement Plan Regulatory Compliance, Outsourcing Opportunities, Cost Reporting and Allocation, Governmental Auditors and Their Focus on Tax-Exempts, and The Year 2000.

We are pleased to report that all of these recommendations were addressed by the Organizations' management during fiscal 1999. However, the following recommendations require further attention during fiscal 2000: Accounts Receivable -

At March 31, 1999, Ibero's accounts receivable balance had increased $406,000, or 66%, to $1,024,000. In addition, this balance had many long outstanding receivables related to services provided under the day care, Medicaid waiver and residential habilitation programs.

We realize that obtaining reimbursement from third-party payers is often a long and arduous effort However, we continue to recommend that Ibero's management make billing and collections a financial priority during fiscal 2000.

We also recommend that management continue in pursuit of its goal to identify and employ an additional employee in the finance department to assist in the billing and collection function. An individual familiar with third-party billing requirements and equipped with collection skills will more than offset the cost of the position with the anticipated increase in cash flow.

The Year 2000 -

The Organizations have taken and are in the process of taking the steps necessary to ensure that all internal systems will be compliant in the year 2000. We recommend that the Organizations continue in these efforts. In addition, we also recommend that the Organizations obtain written assurance from all significant funders and vendors that they will be compliant in the year 2000.

During fiscal 1999, Ibero increased its borrowing capacity under its lines-of-credits from $300,000 to $335,000. We recommend that Ibero consider increasing its borrowing capacity to a minimum of $500,000 which represents approximately 10% of fiscal 2000's operating expenses. As Ibero continues to grow through the addition of deficit-funded programs, it will become increasingly important to cash flow these programs before reimbursement from third-party payers is obtained. In addition, this increase would provide added insurance if any funders were to experience cash disbursement problems in the year 2000. 44

To the Boards of Directors of

Ibero-American Action League, Inc., Ibero-American Development Corporation, Ibero Housing Corporation and Edison Housing Development Fund Corporation:

In planning and performing our audit of the financial statements of Ibero-American Action League, Inc. and Affiliates (the Organizations) for the year ended March 31,1999, we considered the Organizations' internal control structure to determine our auditing procedures for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the financial statements and not to provide assurance on the internal control structure.

/However, during our audit we became aware of several matters that are opportunities for strengthening internal controls and operating efficiency. The memorandum that accompanies this letter summarizes our comments and suggestions regarding those matters. This letter does not affect our report dated July 7,1999 on the financial statements of Ibero-American Action League, Inc. and Affiliates.

We will review the status of these comments during our next audit engagement We have already discussed these comments and suggestions with the Organizations' management, and will be pleased to discuss them in further detail at your convenience, to perform any additional study of these matters, or to assist you in implementing the recommendations.

(6) Loans Receivable and Investments

At February 28, 1999 and 1998, Investors had an investment in equity securities that have been recorded at $630,130 and $600,120, respectively, which approximates market value. Market value for these equity securities has been based on a good faith valuation by Investors' Board of Directors. The market value assigned to these investments is considered to be the amounts which could be realized from an orderly sale or other disposition of the investments. It is Investors' intention to hold these securities on a long-term basis.

In making its good faith valuation, Investors' Board of Directors took into account the cost of the equity securities to Investors, developments since their acquisition and other factors pertinent to the valuation of investments. There is no public market for the equity securities held. Investors' Board, in making its valuation, has, in many instances, relied on financial data of the investees and on estimates by the management of Investors and of the investee companies as to the effect of potential future developments. Investors' Board has reviewed such documentation as is available.

Investors acquired all of the securities by direct purchase from the issuer under investment representation, and Investors' Board of Directors has valued the securities on the premise that they may not be sold without registration under the Securities Act of 1933. The price of securities purchased by Investors from the issuer has been determined by direct negotiation between Investors and the issuer.

In addition, Investors has an investment in unsecured subordinated debentures totaling $549,157 and $524,990 at February 28, 1999 and 1998, respectively. Investors' Board of Directors has evaluated the realization of these investments by considering developments that have occurred since the investments were made, reviewed financial data of the investees, evaluated the effect of future developments, and considering other factors pertinent to the investments. Based on this evaluation, Investors' recorded an unrealized loss on securities held of $200,000 at February 28, 1999. Investors' Board of Directors has concluded that the remaining investments are realizable in the normal course of operations. If, however, Investors is unable to liquidate the subordinated debentures in the normal course of operations, a material loss could result because of the absence of sufficient collateral.

An allowance for unrealized depreciation, related primarily to the decline in the value of certain other investments' underlying collateral, has been established based on the good faith valuation of Investors' Board of Directors and totaled $842,289 and $641,648 at February 28, 1999 and 1998, respectively.

We have audited the accompanying combined balance sheets of Ibero-American Action League, Inc. and affiliates (the Companies) as of March 31,1999 and 1998, and the related combined statements of activities, change in stockholders' equity and net assets, and cash flows for the years then ended. These combined financial statements are the responsibility of the Companies' management Our responsibility is to express an opinion on the combined financial statements based on our audits.

We conducted our audits in accordance with generally accepted auditing standards. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audits to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the combined financial statements are free of material misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. An audit also includes assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.

In our opinion, the combined financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the combined financial position of the Companies as of March 31, 1999 and 1998, and the results of their combined operations and cash flows for the years then ended, in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles.

As discussed in Note 6, the investment securities included in the combined financial statements have been valued by the Board of Directors of Ibero-American Investors Corporation using valuation criteria applicable to the licensee. These criteria were established in accordance with Section 301(d)(2) of the Small Business Investment Act of 1958, as amended.

Our audits were made for the purpose of forming an opinion on the basic combined financial statements taken as a whole. The information contained in Exhibits I through VII is presented for purposes of additional analysis and is not a required part of the basic combined financial statements. Such information has been subjected to the auditing procedures applied in the audits of the basic combined financial statements and, in our opinion, is fairly stated in all material respects in relation to the basic combined financial statements taken as a whole.

^ ^fhe^ear^^

^ere has been considerable discussion durmgmepastfewyearswithrespectto the year ^^ and the effect it will have on computer systems. At the beginning of the new millennium, many systems that use dates may become obsolete and may be sub^ectto gross and unpredictable errors, ^rior to the year ^^0, all existing systems must be evaluated to ensure that dates after 1^ will be accurate and controls and calculations will be reliable.

We recommend that managementfocus its efforts to ensureasmooth transition related to this issue. Action steps thatshould be considered are asfollows^

^ As part ofthe budgeting process, allocate fundsforanynecessary conversions,

^ develop the approach and timetableforthe conversion, and

D r^onitorthe conversion to ensure the conversion is doneonatimely basis.

Wealso recommend thatthe Organization seekthe advice ofits software vendors and anypotential newvendors as soon as possible toensurethat all software will be compliant, m addition to advice from vendors, it may be necessary to engage professional consultants in assessing and solving any potential problems.

The increased scrutiny isaresult of various audit results and studies byme general ^ccountmg Office which indicates that between 1^ and 20% of government payments forthe Medicaid programs may be ^orunnecessary,fraudulentorfor excessive services, ^saresult, the bar of expectation of compliance has been raised significantly.

SUGGESTIONS FOR THE CONSIDERATION OF MANAGEMENT

JUNE. 1998

(1) Review of Prior Year Suggestions

In connection with our audit of the financial statements for the year ended March 31, 1998, we reviewed the status of our prior year management letter recommendations. These recommendations related to the following:

• Expense Allocations, • Retirement Plan, • Process Re-engineering, • Shared Service Agreements, • Fixed Assets, • CHDO Budget Modifications, • Tenant File Documentation, and • Tenant Selection Plan.

We are pleased to report that all of these recommendations were fully implemented or have been appropriately addressed during fiscal 1998.

(2) Accounts Receivable

During fiscal 1998, Ibero-American Action League, Inc's (Ibero) accounts receivable increased by approximately $195,000, or 37%. In addition, there are many long outstanding receivables in the Family Care, Foster Care and Medicaid Waiver programs.

We recommend that Ibero's management make billings and collections a priority in the current fiscal year. Improved accounts receivable management will significantly improve Ibero's cash flow situation.

(3) Accounting Department Staffing

The Organizations' accounting staff complement has remained consistent for the past few years. However, since fiscal 1995 the Organizations' public support and revenue has increased approximately $1,460,000, or 50%. This growth is due to an increase in the Organizations' historical program activities, as well as expansion into new programmatic areas and the formation of new corporations.

We recommend that the Organizations' management evaluate the current staffing complement in its accounting department to determine if it is adequate to meet the expected short-term organizational needs.

To the Boards of Directors of

Ibero-American Action League, Inc., Ibero-American Development Corporation and Ibero Housing Corporation:

In planning and performing our audit of the financial statements of Ibero-American Action League, Inc. and affiliates (the Organizations) for the year ended March 31,1998, we considered the Organizations' internal control structure to determine our auditing procedures for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the financial statements and not to provide assurance on the internal control structure. However, during our audit we became aware of several matters that are opportunities for strengthening internal controls and operating efficiency. The memorandum that accompanies this letter summarizes our comments and suggestions regarding those matters. This letter does not affect our report dated June 25, 1998 on the financial statements of Ibero-American Action League, Inc. and affiliates.

We will review the status of these comments during our next audit engagement We have already discussed these comments and suggestions with the Organizations' management, and will be pleased to discuss them in further detail at your convenience, to perform any additional study of these matters, or to assist you in implementing the recommendations.

These combined financial statements are the responsibility of the Companies' management Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these combined financial statements based on our audits. We conducted our audits in accordance with generally accepted auditing standards. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audits to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the combined financial statements are free of material misstatement An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. An audit also includes assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.

In our opinion, the combined financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the combined financial position of the Companies as of March 31, 1998 and 1997, and the results of their operations and cash flows for the years then ended, in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles.

As discussed in Note 5, the investment securities included in the combined financial statements have been valued by the Board of Directors of lbero-American Investors Corporation using valuation criteria applicable to the licensee. These criteria were established in accordance with Section 301(dX2) of the Small Business Investment Act of 1958, as amended.

Our audits were made for the purpose of forming an opinion on the basic combined financial statements taken as a whole. The information contained in Exhibits I through VII is presented for purposes of additional analysis and is not a required part of the basic combined financial statements. Such information has been subjected to the auditing procedures applied in the audits of the basic combined financial statements and, in our opinion, is fairly stated in all material respects in relation to the basic combined financial statements taken as a whole.

913 140 914 (5) Loans Receivable and Investments

At February 28,1998 and 1997, Investors had an investment in equity securities totalling $600,120 recorded at cost, which approximates fair value. Fair value for these securities has been estimated based on a good faith valuation by Investors' Board of Directors. The fair value assigned to these investments is considered to be the amounts which could be realized from an orderly sale or other disposition of the investments. It is Investors' intention to hold these securities on a long-term basis.

In making its good faith valuation, Investors' Board of Directors took into account the cost of the equity securities to Investors, developments since their acquisition and other factors pertinent to the valuation of investments. There is no public market for the equity securities held. Investors' Board, in making its valuation, has, in many instances, relied on financial data of the investees and on estimates by the management of Investors and of the investee companies as to the effect of potential future developments. The Board has reviewed such documentation as is available.

Investors acquired all of the securities by direct purchase from the issuer under investment representation, and Investors' Board of Directors has valued the securities on the premise that they may not be sold without registration under the Securities Act of 1933. The price of securities purchased by Investors from the issuer has been determined by direct negotiation between Investors and the issuer.

In addition, Investors has an investment in unsecured subordinated debentures totalling $524,990 at February 28, 1998 and 1997. Investors' Board of Directors has evaluated the realization of these investments by considering developments that have occurred since their acquisition, reviewing financial data of the investees, estimating the effect of future developments, and considering other factors pertinent to the investments. The Board has concluded that the investments are realizable in the normal course of operations. If Investors is unable to liquidate the subordinated debentures in the normal course of operations, a material loss could result because of the absence of sufficient collateral.

An allowance for unrealized depreciation, related primarily to the decline in the value of certain other investments' underlying collateral, has been established based on the good faith valuation of Investors' Board of Directors and totalled $641,648 and $473,371 at February 28, 1998 and 1997, respectively.

Amendment to Attachment IU-12 (Admissions Policy) - January 13,2000

Please revise the charter school's admission policy to reflect 2854(2) of the Charter Schools Act, including all required anti-discrimination and open enrollment criteria

Please remove all references in such admissions policy that require parents to be "committed" to the dual language concept and the America's Choice Design. Charter Schools, as public schools, must accept any and all students that apply for admission, with preference awarded pursuant to the Charter Schools Act.

Please clarify what is meant by assessing the "level of interest" in the context of admission to the charter school

Please provide a detailed student marketing, outreach and recruitment plan for the school. This includes mass marketing, door-to-door outreach, public information sessions, direct mail, target audiences, etc. In the event that the school intends to undertake a mass mailing, please provide a description of the targeted audience.

The Eugenio Maria de Hostos Charter School will welcome the application from all students who are interested in a dual language curriculum. The application and interview process will be supervised by the school principal and will be established so that: • students and parents (or guardian) members will be informed of the mission of the school and the expectations that parents (or other adult support figures) will be welcome and will be centrally involved in the education of the students; in the event that a child does not have a supportive adult figure who would or could participate in the education of the child, the child will still be eligible for admission (the school will match the child with a volunteer adult trained by the school to assist the child with learning). • the necessary information can be obtained in order to enroll students through a random lottery;

Students will be selected on a random basis. Admission of students shall not be limited on the basis of intellectual ability, measures of achievement or aptitude, athletic ability, disability, race, creed, gender, national origin, religion, or ancestry. There will be no tuition charge for students in the school. After all applications have been received, the selection process will occur annually in the following way:

1. applicants who are currently students in this charter school; 2. siblings of current students; 3. applicants who reside in the Rochester City School District; 4. applicants who reside outside the urban public school district; 5. any other applicant

163

The marking and recruitment will, therefore, be aimed at bom the Hispanic and non^Hispanicconm^unitymorder to encourage applications f^om across the area served by the Rochester, ^^ public school district. The school will offerastrong language program in both English and Spanish, but will be open to admit smdents from other language backgrounds who wish to acquire both Spanish and English The random process to be used for student selection will ensure matabroad spectrum of individuals will comprise the student population of the school.

lo^

^7 93o

Timetable for admission of students:

Upon notification of charter approval, the marketing and recruitment plan will be implemented. Brochures, informational letters, and widespread media coverage in the local newspapers, radio stations, and television coverage will inform parents of the Eugenio Maria de Hostos Charter School and its commitment to a new form of education for the families of Rochester. A coordinator will be assigned by the school principal to develop a list of interested individuals and to provide any information which families may need. There will be information meetings in the form of an 'open house' at Ibero and , if the school is ready, at the proposed site of the school. These meetings will be held to address questions, to inform parents of the concept of the dual language school and to provide applications.

Teachers will be trained to acquire the following skills:

Clear verbal messages Check in, cut-off, cool down Encouraging messages Logical consequences Two-stage time-out procedure Limited choices Natural Consequences

In all disciplinary matters students will be given notice and will have the opportunity to present their version of the facts and circumstances leading to the imposition of disciplinary sanctions to the staff member imposing such sanctions. Depending on the severity of the infraction, disciplinary responses include suspension (short or long term), involuntary transfer, detention, exclusion from extracurricular activities, and expulsion. Where appropriate, school officials also will contact law enforcement agencies.

L DEFINITIONS

• For purposes of this Code "short term suspension" shall refer to the removal of a student from school for disciplinary reasons for a period of five or fewer days; • "long-term suspension" shall refer to the removal of a student from school for disciplinary reasons for a period of more than five days; and • "Expulsion " shall refer to the permanent removal of a student from school for disciplinary reasons.

Amendment to Attachment 111-23 - January 13,2000

Please define the expected at-risk student population and provide details on methods and strategies for assisting this population succeeded Listing the general categorical approaches is not sufficient

Eugenio Maria de Hostos School will expect their student population to come mainly from the inner city. This is a population at risk due to the following factors:

- limited English proficiency

- low poverty level

- single parent families

- education level of parents

- exposure to violence in their neighborhoods

- poor nutrition

- poor attendance

Although our students are considered at risk due to the factors mentioned above, we believe that they will succeed. EMHCS will help our students succeed by delivering instruction using research based strategies (i.e. flexible groups, cooperative learning centers, reciprocal teaching, use of graphic organizers, attendance monitoring, etc.) Focus will always be on how students learn best and what teachers need to do and learn in order to help students learn.

180

953 - 954

Amendment to Attachment IV-26 - January 13,2000

Please clarify the reading requirements for grades K through 2 and specify in which language the reading requirements apply.

Please provide evidence of a successful implementation of the America's Choice curriculum for a dual language program. In other words, specify where such an approach has been used and the student performance results of this approach

Students will be expected to meet the language arts standards in both languages. In grades K-2 students will learn to read in their dominant language as they learn to speak their second language through the content areas. Once they learn how to read, they will transfer their reading skills to their second language.

America's Choice has not been implemented in a dual language design setting. However the design that they will provide us; learning and performance standards, using assessment to drive instructions, the fundamentals of the writing process and using rubrics for assessing students work is not a language specific design. Teachers will be able to use the knowledge and the skills they acquire to teach Spanish language arts, English language arts and the content areas.

181

954 * 955 Amendment to Attachment V-30 - January 13,2000

Please clarify how student performance and achievement is measured at any give time during the school year. Many traditional public schools, private schools, and charter schools supplement state student testing requirements with other standardized performance testing. Please provide us with an assessment strategy to obtain the goal of measuring progress of students at the end of each year. Please not that such strategy must include some provision for obtaining objectively verifiable baseline data. Thus, for instance, if baseline data are based on writing samples, the school must provide for an annual audit by an independent source who will compare the baseline sample to samples obtained at the end of each year. Please note that such audit expenses should be also reflected in the budget.

The reference examinations provided by America's Choice will provide baseline data and help guide the instructional program. The LAS assessment in early fall will provide second language baseline data.

Student performance and achievement will be measured on an ongoing basis through the use of portfolios and Early Literacy profile (see attachment V-31)

At the end of each year student progress will be measured using the Terra Nova standardized tests in English Language Arts, Spanish Language Arts and Mathematics (See sample below).

Student progress will be reported to parents at the end of every five weeks of instructions.

Appeals to the board decision may be made to the Charter School Institute. At any time, a student, parent, teacher or staff member, or member of the community may present an issue or complaint to the Board of Trustees. After making a good faith effort to have an issue addressed within the School through its administrative structure of advisers, teachers, of the Principal, the person wishing to present an issue or raise a complaint should adhere to the following procedures:

• Present a written request to the Board of Trustees to present the issue or complaint at the Board's next scheduled meeting. The written request should indicate the nature of the issue or complaint and the steps that have been taken heretofore to resolve it,

• The Board will allow the person wishing to address an issue or complaint an opportunity to make a presentation of no more than 5 minutes at the next scheduled Board meeting. The person making the presentation may elect to make the presentation in person or in writing.

At its meeting, the Board is required to inform the person making the presentation of its decision to: • resolve the issue or complaint by taking corrective action directly or appointing a subcommittee to do so • study the issue or complaint, either as a committee of the whole or by appointing a subcommittee to do so and make a report with specific recommendations for resolving the issue within no more than two meetings of the presentation • take no action, either because the request for resolution does not fall within the purview of the Board's activities, is not directly relevant or helpful to the operation of the School, or because it is not permitted by law

Any decision made by the Board will be communicated directly to the presenter. Such decision will also be communicated to the presenter by mail as soon as it is practical to do so.

If, after presentation of the complaint to the board of trustees of EMHCS, the individual or group determines that such board has not adequately addressed the complaint, they may present 187
