It was noted during the testing of allowable payroll costs for the IDEA-B Formula federal grant program, included within the Special Education Cluster for fiscal year 2019, that a teacher's aide was incorrectly charged to the program in the amount of $7,883. Effect: If left uncorrected, the District would have been noncompliant with the provisions of the grant agreement, placing future funding for this program at risk. Cause: The District's grant administrator did not initially recognize that one individual was being charged to the program in error. Criteria: The federal Individuals with Disabilities Education Act (IDEA) defines eligible activities as well as allowable costs for the program. Context: A test of 23 payroll transactions from a population of 127 was performed. Our sample was a statistically valid sample. The dollar amount of the teachers' aide incorrectly charged was immaterial to the program as well as the District's financial statements. As of August 31, 2019, the District recorded a due to State for the amount initially charged in error and this will be returned in the fiscal year ended August 31, 2020. Recommendation: The District should consider a second review of all individuals charged to a federal grant program.

Corrective Action Plan

CORRECTIVE ACTION PLAN January 6, 2020 Finding: 2019.001 Allowable Costs-Special Education (IDEA) Cluster Response: As part of the 2018-19 financial review, it was discovered that an ESL instructional aide (English as a second language was miscoded in payroll to the IDEA-B federal fund, for SPED (special education). This error occurred during the re-assignments of campus employees within the 2018-19 school year. Due to an oversight, the account code was not changed within the perpetual payroll Excel spreadsheet when a SPED position was changed to ESL. As a result, the following processes were initiated for correction. 1. The District notified the Texas Education Agency of the error and issue a reimbursement in the amount of $7,883.26 on December 17, 2019. Check #112454, Refund #R.1. Correction of an Administrative Error, for NOGA $186600012379056600. 2. The human resources director has ensured with the payroll specialist that the account codes within the perpetual payroll Excel spreadsheet are updated at the same time account codes are updated and entered within the payroll software system. The data from the Excel spreadsheet must match the data within the payroll software system. 3. When time and effort sheets and/or 100% certification sheets are being collected by the federal fund directors, the directors will also begin requesting payroll reports from the payroll specialist, which will show who is being coded to all special programs. These reports will serve as a check-off list for the directors while confirming correct payroll account codings. In the event of a discrepancy, a director will immediately notify the payroll specialist and human resource director in writing for correction. Implementation Date: Immediate
