Cost Allowability
QUESTIONED COSTSOTHER MATTERS

Through testing of a representative sample of ESF expenditures, we noted that the classroom projector project did not appear to be pre-approved by the California Department of Education (CDE). Each purchase order provided for the purchase and installation of classroom projectors with a per unit cost in excess of $5,000 (including installation and other ancillary costs). Context: The condition was identified through the testing of ESF expenditures. Cause: District oversight. Effect: The funds spent on these purchases may be subject to review by or return to the awarding agency. Questioned Costs: $718,634 Repeat Finding: This is not a repeat finding. Recommendation: We recommend that the District obtain prior approval from CDE for all capital purchases from the Education Stabilization Fund in excess of $5,000.

Corrective Action Plan

The District's procedure for purchases utilizing federal funds for goods in excess of $5,000 are submitted to the California Department of Education prior to purchase for approval. The District utilized COVID relief funds to upgrade classrooms with equipment consistent in the SVI classroom project. While the components of the SVI project are under the $5,000 threshold for prior approval collectively they are over this threshold. The components being under the $5,000 threshold resulted in an oversight of the needed preapproval for these purchases. Fiscal Services is developing a checklist of required steps in the procurement process when federal funds are being considered to ensure prior approval, if needed, is sought prior to purchase. The checklist will include an area where each component is listed to include delivery cost and installation and will include acknowledgement of whether these components collectively create one asset. This will allow other staff reviewing the checklist to determine if preapproval based on cost may be needed. The checklist will require approval of the department head of the requesting department acknowledging understanding of the federal purchasing requirements for capital expenditure as well as, approval of the Director, Fiscal Services and the District's Assistant Superintendent of Business Services.
