Corrective Action Planned:

The review of districts expenditures stated in the LEA MOE Compliance Calculator is now included in our monitoring procedures. Our fiscal auditor now has access to the Department’s SEDs SAMS system which grants allows him the ability to review the ST-3 information submitted by the districts to SED. The ST-3 form is an annual report that districts are required to submit to the Department. A district’s expenditure information for children with disabilities is contained in this report. We can view this report to ensure the information submitted by the districts on the LEA MOE Compliance Calculator is aligned to the information submitted on their ST-3 report. As part of our on-site and phone monitoring efforts, our fiscal auditor will include the review of districts’ LEA MOE Compliance Calculator expenditure information as part of our annual monitoring process.
