Timely adjustments, Why?

5. Annual Cycles
All reports for the current school year are based on budgeted projections from your F-203.
January the projections are adjusted to year-to-date actual for S-275 and P-223. (Exceptions: 1191FS, and Home Hospital on 1191SE.)
January reports will also contain the final adjustment for the prior school year. Finalized reports have an F in their report number.

14. Apportionment Notes April 21, 2006
TO: School Business Managers and ESD Fiscal Officers
FROM: Steve Shish, School Apportionment and Financial Services
RE: April Apportionment
Adjustment to Fringe Benefit Rates Allocations have been adjusted to the correct fringe benefit rates as included in the 2006 supplemental budgeted. This has revised the rates for highly capable, bilingual, LAP and transportation.
Account Truancy Allocation - The preliminary truancy allocation is paid based on $90 per petition. This rate is based on a projected estimate of total petitions. The rate will be adjusted based on total petitions in the June apportionment payment. Petitions are from Form SPI 1302C received by April 19, 2006.
Final claims must be received by June 14, 2006 to receive payment. For more information see Bulletin No School Apportionment and Financial Services dated February 14, 2006.
Accounts 5300 and 5329 – Emergency Impact Aid - Quarter 2 hurricane relief program payments are included. Payments for special education students are in account 5329.

15. Next Review the 1197 Report
The 1197 report summarizes the payments to be made to your district this month.
Use this to:
Determine whether you are getting all your state program funding.
Determine whether your federal dollars are being paid timely.
For LAP, Highly Capable and Bilingual programs state funding is not provided until the program office provides us with a current year approval of program. You can go onto iGRANTS to determine what the status of approval is and what the last step was. (CASH FLOW)
Review your federal programs to determine whether you are receiving your funding. Compare Column c to Column A. Often the 1000C for reimbursement are not being processed timely in other sections of your district. (CASH FLOW)

16. Report 1197 Summary report of apportionment payments.
Displays annual allotment, adjustment, amount paid year-to-date, allocation for current month.

18. Walking Through the 1197
Column A shows what the current annual funding calculation or award is.

19. Walking Through the 1197
What are the amounts in column B and where the heck do they come from???
Audit or district requested adjustments for prior years.
Recovery or revision to allocation from prior year in January.
For federal revenues, 6XXX series accounts, the amount is what was paid this school year on prior year grants.

20. Walking Through the 1197
Column C – Left side shows the payment percentage that is payable Year to Date based upon Column A Plus the amount in column B.
Column C – Right side shows how much that will equate to.
Column D shows the amount previously paid.
Column E is the difference between column D and C and the amount you will receive.

21. How Is this report useful?
Manage your cash flow:
If you are not receiving payment on Highly capable, Bilingual or LAP your program approval has not been completed. Your status may be checked on iGRANST.
If you are not receiving payments on federal grants ensure that reimbursement request are being processed and submitted to OSPI timely.

58. Timely Adjustments – Part I
Adjustments submitted after August are not made on your apportionment reports until January as a prior year adjustment.
Your levy base must be calculated by SAFS on a timely basis, September, to meet county requirements.
We provide the calculation in the September reports, and a final Levy lid calculation to the county in October

59. Timely Adjustments – Part II
In determination of your Levy lid, our rules require us to user “Total Guaranteed Entitlement,” on line 14 on the 1191 as of August 31.
Adjustments made to prior year reports do not factor into the current years “Total Guaranteed Entitlement” and are therefor not included in your levy base in the subsequent year.
Conclusion:
Do not wait until the fall to make corrections to your staff mix or to change enrollment reported, such as summer school.
