No 2020-003: ALLOWABLE COSTS (PAYROLL DISBURSEMENTS) The School District did not have semi-annual certifications completed for Teachers? and Teacher Assistants? salaries paid from IDEA funds during the second semester of the school year. Teachers? and Teacher Assistants? salaries paid from IDEA funds should have semi-annual certifications completed for the period related to the payroll disbursements. We noted during our review of IDEA payroll expenditures that the District did not complete a semi-annual certificate for the second semester due to the majority of IDEA employee salaries being charged to other funds. We noted that the administration staff usually have a Personnel Activity Report completed, but the teachers and teaching assistants have a single cost objective and should have a semi-annual certificate filled out. The District should be completing a semi-annual certificate for each of the IDEA employees for any period of time that salaries are charged to IDEA funds. We recommend that the District follow its internal controls and complete semi-annual certificates for each teacher and teacher assistant salary that is charged to IDEA funds. The District agrees with this finding and will adhere to the corrective action plan on page 123 in this audit report.
