Repeat Finding: No Program Name/Assistance Listing Title: Title I Grants to Local Educational Agencies Assistance Listing Number: 84.010 Federal Agency: U.S. Department of Education Federal Award Number: S010A240003 Pass‐Through Agency: Arizona Department of Education Questioned Costs: N/A Type of Finding: Significant Deficiency Compliance Requirement: Eligibility Criteria According to Title I, §1113(a)‐(c) of the ESEA (20 USC 6313(c)), a local educational agency shall allocate funds to eligible schools in rank order and to determine allocations using the same measure of poverty, which measure shall be the number of children ages five through 17 in poverty counted in the most recent census data approved by the Secretary, the number of children eligible for free and reduced priced lunches under the Richard B. Russell National School Lunch Act, the number of children in families receiving assistance under the state program funded under part A of Title IV of the Social Security Act, or the number of children eligible to receive medical assistance under the Medicaid program, or a composite of such indicators, with respect to all school attendance areas in the local educational agency. Condition The District was not readily able to provide support for the enrollment and low‐income counts reported on the Title I School Eligibility worksheet submitted to the Arizona Department of Education. Cause The District did not maintain proper support for the enrollment and low‐income counts. Effect The District was determined to be in compliance with the eligibility of school attendance provisions of Title I, Part A. Context The District did not maintain proper support for the enrollment and low‐income counts. The District attempted to recalculate the enrollment and low‐income counts but were unable to match the figures originally reported. Upon using the recalculated figures on the Title I School Eligibility worksheet, it was determined that the District's school site selection and allocation was still accurate as originally completed. The updated figures provided were agreed back to supporting documentation. The sample was not intended to be, and was not, a statistically valid sample. Recommendation The District should retain all documentation to support enrollment and low‐income student counts for eligibility purposes. Views of Responsible Officials See Corrective Action Plan.
