CRITERIA: All disbursements should be shipped to District property for accountability, tracking and ensuring compliance with federal regulations. EFFECT: When supplies are shipped to private residences, there exists the increased likelihood of errors and fraud.

VIEWS OF RESPONSIBLE OFFICIALS: The district acknowledges the finding and has already met with the Title 1 Coordinator and the District purchasing clerk to ensure this does not occur again.
