The reports will include the following information: ? Total enrollment ? Number of individuals tested (student and staff) ? Number of testing locations ? Number of tests ? PCR (total and positive tests) ? Number of tests ? Antigen (total and positive tests) ? Number of tests ? Other (type of test; total and positive tests) ? Total positive tests ? Description of program activities ? Other indicators that may arise to ascertain program progress Condition The District did not have supporting evidence to document its weekly submission of the reports required under Section 4.2.4 of the grant agreement. Specifically, the District was unable to provide documents to support the number of tests (PCR) and the total positive tests reported.Questioned Costs There were no questioned costs associated with the condition identified.Context The condition was identified as a result of our examination on weekly reports created by the District under Section 4.2.4 and through inquiry with District personnel. Effect Due to the condition identified, we were unable to validate the accuracy of the weekly reports submitted to LACOE as required under Section 4.2.4 of the grant agreement.
