Finding Text
Criteria: As outlined in the OMB Compliance Supplement, to meet the requirements of the annual report card, high school graduation rate testing, a School District must implement appropriate policies and procedures for documenting the removal of a student from the adjusted cohort. A School District must maintain appropriate written documentation to support the removal of a student from the adjusted cohort. Condition: Based on the above criteria, the School District did not meet the requirements for removing a student from the cohort. Out of a sample of ten students, documentation supporting removal from the cohort was not available for six students. Cause: Management oversight. Effect: Due to lack of supporting documentation, the School District is not in compliance with the annual report card, graduation cohort testing. Recommendation: We recommend the School District maintain appropriate documentation for removing ta student from the cohort. Views of Responsible Officials and Planned Corrective Action: We concur with the finding. We will establish procedures to obtain sufficient documentation for removing a student from the graduation cohort.
