Corrective Action Plan

The District had new staff and reporting documentation was not compiled in order to reconcile the amounts. Moving forward all documentation will be kept by two fiscal team members. The District was never notified by the California Department of Education or the Auditors that there was an obligation to correct prior year FTE amounts in the next reporting period and therefor this has not yet been corrected. During the next open reporting period, the District will recreate all of the FTE reports and enter new data as required by the Audit team.
