EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
SUMMARY OF ATTESTATION EXAMINATION
Except for the material noncompliance described below involving teachers and reporting errors or records that were not properly or accurately prepared or were missing and could not be located for students in ESE Support Levels 4 and 5 and Career Education 9-12 (OJT), the Dixie County District School Board complied, in all material respects, with State requirements regarding the determination and reporting of full-time equivalent (FTE) students under the Florida Education Finance Program (FEFP) and the number of students transported for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2013:
Of the 20 teachers in our sample, 6 did not meet State requirements governing certification, School Board approval of out-of-field teacher assignments, or notification to parents regarding teachers' out-of-field status. There were no teachers who taught at the District's charter school reported in our population for testing.
Seven of the 20 students in our ESE Support Levels 4 and 5 sample and 3 of the 16 students in our Career Education 9-12 (OJT) sample had exceptions involving reporting errors or records that were not properly or accurately prepared or were missing and could not be located. None of the students who attended the charter school were reported in the ESE Support Levels 4 and 5 or Career Education 9-12 (OJT) samples.
Noncompliance related to reported FTE resulted in 13 findings. The resulting proposed net adjustment to the District's reported, unweighted FTE totaled to a negative .9984 but has a potential impact on the District's weighted FTE of a negative 12.7541 (negative 12.7541 is all applicable to District schools other than charter schools as there were no proposed adjustments for the charter school). Noncompliance related to student transportation resulted in 3 findings and a proposed net adjustment of a negative 14 students.
Weighted adjustments to FTE are presented in our report for illustrative purposes only. The weighted adjustments to FTE do not take special program caps and allocation factors into account and are not intended to indicate the weighted FTE used to compute the dollar value of adjustments. That computation is the responsibility of the Department of Education. However, the gross dollar effect of our proposed adjustments to FTE may be estimated by multiplying the proposed net weighted adjustment to FTE by the base student allocation amount. For the Dixie County District School Board, the estimated gross dollar effect of our proposed adjustments to reported FTE is a negative $45,698 (negative 12.7541 times $3,582.98), of which all is applicable to District schools other than charter schools.
We have not presented an estimate of the potential dollar effect of our proposed adjustments to student transportation because there is no equivalent method for making such an estimate.
The ultimate resolution of our proposed adjustments to FTE and student transportation and the computation of their financial impact is the responsibility of the Department of Education.
