During our review of payroll charged to the ESSER III (#20220358) grant it was noted the district gave out retention bonuses to all staff working at Haverhill Cooperative School District. Although a record of bonus recipients was maintained, it was not formally approved by the Superintendent and/or the School Board. Cause: Administrative oversight. Effect: The District did not have adequate documentation to support the distribution of the employee’s wages paid using grant funds. Questioned Costs: $33,557 Repeat Finding: No Recommendation: We recommend that if the district chooses to maintain a master spreadsheet for stipends or retention bonuses, the list should be formally reviewed and approved by both the School Board and the Superintendent. Views of Responsible Officials: Management’s views and corrective action plan is included at the end of this report.
