Finding Text
Program Name ? Head Start and Early Head Start CFDA Number ? 93.600 Finding Type ? Noncompliance Criteria ? During the program year, a minimum of two parent-teacher conferences should be held for the child per 45CFR 1302.34. Condition ? For 11 of 18 samples, only 1 parent teacher conference was held instead of 2. For 1 of 18 samples, no parent teacher conference was documented. Questioned Costs ? None Identification of a Repeat Finding ? This is not a repeat finding from the prior year audit. Cause/Effect ? Based on our review, it appears that either the necessary conferences were not performed or documentation was not kept to evidence they were performed. Recommendation ? We recommend required parent teacher conferences be performed. These conferences should be properly documented and retained within the child?s file. Additionally, the Agency should develop a system for tracking the conferences to better monitor their compliance.
