Effect: Paraprofessionals that did not meet the Title I requirements were paid from PRC 050. Cause: Oversight by the School due to employee turnover. Questioned Costs: $65,542 Recommendation: We recommend the School put procedures in place to ensure that the School only hires paraprofessionals that meet the requirements of ESSA.
