Graduation rate data must be reported both in the aggregate and disaggregated by the subgroups in Section 1111(c)(2) of the Elementary and Secondary Education Act (ESEA), homeless status, status as a child in foster care using a four-year adjusted cohort graduation rate (and any extended-year adjusted cohort rates) (ESEA sections 1111(h)(1)(C)(iii)(II) and 8101(23), (25)(20 USC 6311(h)(1)(C)(iii)(II) and 7801(23), (25))). Written documentation must be maintained to remove a student from the cohort. Condition The District did not adequate maintain written documentation for three of the five sampled students that were removed from the cohort and used an incorrect exit code for one of the five sampled students that were removed from the cohort. Cause The condition arose due to lack of sufficient internal controls over compliance related to removal of students from the cohort. Effect The District has not complied with the requirement to maintain written documentation to remove a student from the cohort. Questioned Costs None reported. Context/Sampling: The condition was identified through review of supporting documentation for a sample of students who were identified as removed from the cohort on the California Longitudinal Pupil Achievement Data System (CALPADS) 15.2 Cohort Outcome report. Three of the five sampled students identified as removed from the cohort on the CALPADS 15.2 Cohort Outcome report did not have adequate written documentation to support the removal of the students from the cohort, and one of the five sampled students had an inaccurate exit code used for their removal from the cohort. Repeat Finding Yes. See prior year finding 2024-001. Recommendation The District should ensure that they meet all of the requirements of ESEA. The District should revise their procedures to ensure that adequate written documentation for all students removed from the cohort is maintained and data inputted into the system is accurate.

Federal Program Affected Program Name: COVID-19 Emergency Connectivity Fund Program Assistance Listing Number: 32.009 Pass-Through Entity: N/A ? Direct Award Federal Agency: Federal Communications Commission Criteria or Specific Requirements In accordance with Federal Communications Commission (FCC) Report and Order 21-58 paragraphs 116-118, COVID-19 Emergency Connectivity Fund (ECF) Program participants are required to maintain asset and service inventories of the devices and services purchased with ECF Program support. Asset inventories are required to contain the following elements: (a) device type, (b) device make/model, (c) equipment serial number, (d) the name of the person to whom the device was provided, and (e) the dates the device was loaned out and returned to the school. The asset inventory for devices not provided to individual students or school staff, but used to provide service to multiple eligible users must include the following information: (a) device type, (b) device make/model, (c) equipment serial number, (d) the name of the school or library employee responsible for that device, and (e) the dates the device was in service. Service records must include (a) type of service provided, (b) broadband plan details, including: upload and download speeds and monthly data cap, (c) the name(s) of the person(s) to whom the service was provided, and for fixed broadband service; (d) the service address, and (e) the installation date of service, and (f) the last date of service (as applicable). In accordance with FCC Report and Order 21-58 paragraph 5, ECF Program support shall be used by schools to meet the otherwise unmet connectivity needs of students and school staff during the COVID-19 pandemic. In accordance with FCC Report and Order 21-58 paragraph 54, ECF Program support shall not be used to fund more than one connected device and more than one Wi-Fi hotspot per students or school staff member during the COVID-19 emergency period. Condition The District did not maintain adequate asset or service inventories for Wi-Fi hotspots purchased using ECF support, as inventory records are not up-to-date and do not contain all of the aforementioned required elements. In addition, the District did not maintain adequate documentation to substantiate unmet need and per-user limitations. Cause Due to the time-sensitive need to maintain connectivity for student learning, the District did not prioritize adequate record-keeping in accordance with program requirements. Effect The District is not in compliance with the Equipment or Restricted Purpose Special Tests for the ECF Program. Questioned Costs Due to lack of records to substantiate the unmet need, which was the primary goal of the program, we identify the entire program reimbursement of $377,062 as questioned costs. Context The condition was identified through inquiries with District management and review of program records. Repeat Finding No Recommendation The District should ensure that program requirements are reviewed and adequate controls over compliance are in place prior to commencing program activities under new federal programs.

Repeat Finding No Recommendation The District should ensure that program requirements are reviewed and adequate controls over compliance are in place prior to commencing program activities under new federal programs.

Corrective Action Plan

Due to the need to get the hotspots out to the students quickly for virtual learning during the pandemic, staff was not able to maintain very good record-keeping of the devices distributed, which is required to meet the very strict requirements of this new grant funding. For similar grants in the future, a designated individual will be assigned to oversee the distribution of devices at all sites in the district to ensure they are maintaining the required information.
