This Director’s Communication is to let you know that in 2000-2001 there will not be a charge to any local school district’s Title I account for the cost of the Legislative Audit Division performing the audit of Title I programs. As a result of cost savings at the state level, the Arkansas Department of Education will pay the school district audit costs for 2000-2001 from its statewide administrative funds. Please keep a copy of this Director’s Communication in your Title I 2000-2001 audit files.
The decision on whether to pay the local school district audit cost from the Arkansas Department of Education’s share of Title I funds will be reviewed each year. When that decision is made, we will give you specific instructions.
If you have any questions, please contact Ms. Patsy Hammond at 501-682-4275.
