SIGNIFICANT DEFICIENCY

The SPSA did not include the proposed expenditure of funds, allocated to the schools through the consolidated application, to address the findings identified in needs assessment. Questioned Cost: None. We determined that Title I, Part A funds were spent on student related services, and support teachers, whose payroll charges allocated to the Title I, Part A program were supported by time and effort distribution records in accordance with 2 CFR 200.430(i)(1)(vii). Context: The condition was noted at Wellington M. Smith, Jr. School and Salinas Community School. Effect: The County Office did not comply with Federal and State requirements related to Title I Schoolwide Programs. Cause: The County Office did not review the SPSA prepared by the school sites to ensure that it complied with Federal and State requirements. Recommendation: The County Office should review the Federal and State guidelines for preparing and documenting activities/expenditures in the SPSA. County Response: The Alternative Education Department has established a procedure to ensure that the relationship between the planned supplemental instructional program and the planned expenditures are clearly reflected in the School Plan for Student Achievement (SPSA). Annually the department shall evaluate the effectiveness of the SPSA plan. The Alternative Education Department shall monitor student progress and if there is a need to modify the school?s plan in the current year, the Alternative Education Department shall update the SPSA and determine if a budget adjustment is required.
