AI Summary

  • Core Issue: Employees were overpaid due to a processing error, receiving $1,272 each instead of the approved $424.
  • Impacted Requirements: Payments were unauthorized by the Board of Education, making them ineligible as federal expenditures from the Title I fund.
  • Recommended Follow-up: Review and strengthen internal controls to prevent similar errors and ensure compliance with funding regulations.

Finding Text

On December 12, 2022, the Board of Education approved a supplemental contract with three District employees for Title I (Fund 572) services in the aggregate amount of $1,272 or $424 each. However, due to a processing error which was not detected by the District’s internal controls, each employee was paid $1,272, resulting in an overpayment to each employee in the amount of $848 or an aggregate amount of $2,544. Since these payments were not authorized by the Board of Education they are not deemed as allowable federal expenditures from the Title I fund.
