Basis of Presentation The accompanying Schedule of Expenditures of Federal Awards (the schedule) includes the federal award activity of the Rialto Unified School District (the District) under programs of the federal government for the year ended June 30, 2024. The information is presented in accordance with the requirements of Title 2 U.S. Code of Federal Regulations Part 200, Uniform Administrative Requirements, Cost Principles, and Audit Requirements for Federal Awards (Uniform Guidance).

Finding 2024-001
2024-001 50000 – Title I, Part A – Annual Report Card, High School Graduation Rate Federal Agency: U.S. Department of Education Pass-Through Entity: California Department of Education Program Name: Title I, Part A, Basic Grants Low-Income and Neglected and School Improvement Funding for LEAs Federal Financial Assistance Listing: 84.010 Compliance Requirement(s): N (Special Tests & Provisions) Annual Report Card, High School Graduation Rate Type of Finding: Significant Deficiency in Internal Control over Compliance and Noncompliance Criteria or Specific Requirements Local Education Agencies (LEAs) must report graduation rate data for all public high schools at the school and LEA levels using the four-year adjusted cohort rate and, at an LEA’s discretion, one or more extended year adjusted cohort rates. 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 two of the seven 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. Two of the seven 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. We determined the condition to be systematic for students transferring to schools within the United States. Repeat Finding Yes. See prior year finding 2023-001. 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. Corrective Action Plan and Views of Responsible Officials The District has revised its drop protocol documentation to provide a clearer, more streamlined process for staff, ensuring all required documentation is collected before processing drop codes in CALPADS. Additionally, comprehensive training has been provided to all staff responsible for this task to support accurate and efficient implementation.
