Time and Effort Reporting

Where is the Requirement?
Time and effort reporting is required under the Federal Office of Management and Budget’s Circular A-87, Cost Principles for State, Local, and Indian Tribal Governments Attachment B, Selected Items of Cost, Item 11, Compensation for personnel services

When is Time and Effort Required?
Time and effort reporting is required when any part of an individual’s salary is charged to a federal program. Charge may be “direct” or “indirect”.

What type of reporting is needed?
Single cost objective →Semi annual certification Multiple cost objectives →Monthly time reports or Personnel Activity Reports (PARs)

What is a cost objective?
Work activities allowable under the terms and conditions of a funding source

What are some examples of a single cost objective?
100% charged to a single federal program activity Exceptions Title I, Part A and LAP. Federal Special Education and State Special Education. Schoolwide programs. Multiple activities in a single federal program.

What are some examples of multiple cost objectives?
Salary charged to more than one activity in a single federal program Salary charged partially to federal program and partially to state and/or local sources Salary charged partially to sources combined into a schoolwide program and partially to those not included

What is a semi-annual certification?
Statement individual(s) worked solely on activities related to single cost objective Completed at districts every six months Signed by employee or supervisor with first-hand knowledge of work performed

What is a monthly time report? (PAR)
Accounts for total activity Prepared at district monthly Signed by employee Reflects actual work performed (not budget) Agrees to supporting documentation

When are adjustments to actual made?
If payroll is initially based on budgeted or estimated time/amounts, payroll and time and effort reports must be compared at districts quarterly If the difference is 10% or more and any needed adjustments made Payroll records must be adjusted to actual Following quarter’s estimates must be adjusted

What time and effort is reported?
Report time actually worked in a specific activity not time budgeted Budgets are reconciled to actual at districts quarterly

Who should sign the reports?
Monthly reports (PARs) should be signed by the employee Semi annual certifications should be signed by employee or supervisor having first-hand knowledge of work performed For internal control purposes, districts may require both the employee and supervisor to sign

What type of supporting documentation is needed?
Documentation is VERY important. Examples include, but are not limited to: Class schedules Number of students Number of minutes Remember DOCUMENT! DOCUMENT! DOCUMENT!

Supplemental Contracts, Stipends, Extra Hours

Administrators Superintendent, assistant superintendent, principal, assistant principal usually not allowable charge to federal program Requires good documentation to support. Could be a supplant issue.

Schoolwide Programs Schoolwide plan must specify programs to be included (not all programs may be included) A schoolwide program is a single cost objective If employee works 100% on programs combined → Semi annual certification. If employee works partially on programs combined and partly on those not combined → Monthly time report (PAR).

What is a substitute system?
Other method for determining time and effort report based on sample of work performed Must be approved by OSPI prior to use JoLynn Berge is responsible for approval Must be statistically sound Should be periodically reviewed to determine if still appropriate

For Additional Information
OSPI Bulletin (Time and Effort Reporting) Examples Sample forms OSPI Bulletin (Combining Funds in Schoolwide Programs) OMB Circular A-87, Cost Principles for State, Local, and Tribal Governments (2 CFR Section 225)

Fiscal Requirements

District Requirement Section 1120A(a) and 9521 of NCLB 34 CFR 299.5
Maintenance of Effort District Requirement Section 1120A(a) and 9521 of NCLB 34 CFR 299.5

Maintenance of Effort The district has maintained fiscal effort if either The combined fiscal effort per student or The aggregate (total of included) expenditures of the district were at districts 90% of that of the preceding year. This shows the district maintained its non-federal funding within 90%.

Maintenance of Effort “Preceding fiscal year” = the federal fiscal year or the 12 month fiscal period used for reporting purposes prior to the beginning of the federal fiscal year in which funds become available. Example: For funds available July 1, 2009 Preceding fiscal year is 2003 (SY ) Second preceding fiscal year is 2002 (SY ) Third preceding fiscal year is 2001 (SY )

Maintenance of Effort Expenditures included for MOE Administration
Instruction Attendance and health service personnel Pupil transportation services Operation and maintenance of building Fixed charges Net expenditures to cover deficits for food services and student body activities

Maintenance of Effort Expenditures excluded for MOE Community services
Capital outlay Debt service Supplemental expenses made pursuant to a disaster declared by the President of the USA Any expenditures made for funds provided by the federal government

Maintenance of Effort When a district does not meet the maintenance of effort test its allocation is reduced in the exact proportion by which it fell below 90% (combined fiscal effort per student and aggregate expenditures) The measure most favorable to the district is used

Maintenance of Effort In determining maintenance of effort for the year following a failure to maintain effort, OSPI considers the district’s expenditures in the year the failure occurred to be 90% of the expenditures for the third preceding year. OSPI does not use the expenditures for the year in which the failure occurred.

Maintenance of Effort District may apply to the US Department of Education for a waiver for Exceptional or uncontrollable circumstances, such as a natural disaster, or Precipitous decline in the financial resources of the district.

Supplement Not Supplant
Considers services Section 1120A(b) and (d) of NCLB 34 CFR

Targeted Assistance Schools Title I funds must be used only to supplement the level of funds that would, in the absence of Title I, be available from non federal (state and local) sources for Title I students The district is not required to provide Title I services using a particular instructional method (i.e. pull out programs, in class, etc.) Based on services

Program meets the intent and purposes of a Title I program in a targeted assistance program if It serves only children who are failing or most at risk of failing to meet the state’s performance standards. It provides supplementary services designed to meet the educational needs of the children who are participating in the program. It uses the state’s assessment system to review the effectiveness of the program.

Targeted Assistance Buildings Presumptions of supplanting The district has used the Title I funds to provide services that the district was required to make available under federal, state or local law. The district used Title I funds to provide services it provided with non-federal funds in the prior year(s). The district has used Title I funds to provide services for participating children that it provided with non-federal funds for non-participating children. Rebuttals may be possible

Exclusions The district may exclude supplemental state or local funds expended in any school for programs that meet the intent and purposes of Title I, Part A (e.g., Learning Assistance Program)

Schoolwide Program Schools Must use Title I funds only to supplement the amount of funds that would, in the absence of Title I funds, be made available for that schoolwide program (including funds needed to provide services required by law for disabled children and LEP children) Similar to MOE

Program meets the intent and purposes of Title I in a schoolwide program if: It is implemented in a school with 40% or more poverty. It is designed to promote schoolwide reform and upgrade the entire educational operation of the school. It is particularly designed to meet the educational needs of at-risk students. It uses the state’s assessment system to review the effectiveness of the program.

Comparability Building level Section 1120A(c) and (d) 34 CFR OSPI Bulletin

Comparability A district may receive Title I, Part A funds only if it uses state and local funds to provide services in Title I schools that, taken as a whole, are at district comparable to services provided in non-Title I schools.

Comparability If all schools in the district are Title I schools, the district must use state and local funds to provide services that, taken as a whole, are substantially comparable in each school.

Comparability Comparability is met if the district provides written assurance it has established and implemented A district wide salary schedule A policy to ensure equivalence among schools in teachers, administrators, and other staff A policy to ensure equivalence among schools in the provision of curriculum materials and instructional supplies

Comparability Alternative criteria
The district may meet the comparability requirement if it establishes and implements other measures for determining compliance such as student/teacher rations, student/instructional staff salary ratios or total expenditures per school. Staff salary differentials for years of employment may not be included in comparability determinations. The district need not include unpredictable changes in student enrollment or personnel assignments that occur after the beginning of a school year.

Comparability Documentation Report comparability each year on iGrant 361. The district must develop procedures/policies for meeting the comparability requirement and maintain records that are updated at district biennially.

Comparability Exclusions
Bilingual education for children of limited English proficiency (State Transitional Bilingual). Excess costs of providing services to children with disabilities (State Special Education). Supplemental state and local funds spent for programs that meet the intent and purposes of Title I, Part A (LAP).

Targeted Assistance and Schoolwide Programs

Targeted Assistance Programs Targeted Assistance Programs target Title I, Part A services to the students at greatest risk of not meeting the state’s student academic achievement standards Students Pre-K through grade 12 are eligible for Title I, Part A services

Targeted Assistance Programs Building staff must decide what content areas (Reading, Math, Language Arts, etc.) and grade levels to be served with Title I, Part A funds Decision based on greatest need

Targeted Assistance Programs Students in the identified subject areas and grade levels are selected for Title I, part A services based on “…multiple, educationally related, objective criteria established by the local educational agency and supplemented by the school” This usually means the use of results from standardized tests, parent request, grade level academic performance, teacher and other administrative recommendations, and other discretionary criteria

Targeted Assistance Programs A composite score can be developed using the test results, classroom performance and teacher recommendations The students’ names are then rank-ordered, by subject area and grade level, on a list beginning with the most at-risk students The district and/or building Title I staff then determine how many students can be served based on the amount of Title I, Part A funds that have been allocated to the building

Targeted Assistance Programs Instructional programs are then developed to meet the academic needs of the most at-risk students Students who qualify for services can be homeless, migrant, special education students, and former Head Start, Even Start and Early Reading First students who participated in those programs within the past two years The Title I, Part A staff then must decide whether the services will be delivered via an in-class or pullout model, or a combination of both

Pullout and In-Class Instructional Delivery Models
Targeted Assistance Programs Title I, Part A regulations strongly encourage minimizing the removal of students from the regular classroom to provide Title I, Part A services Extended learning opportunities (before and after school, Saturday school, summer programs) are also encouraged

Designed for schools with 40% or higher poverty Requires a year of planning A schoolwide plan, which includes ten (10) required components, must be completed The plan must include the names and the dollar amounts of the federal and state programs that have been combined into the schoolwide program

The schoolwide program must address the intent and purpose of each of the federal programs that have been included in the program Schoolwide programs must still meet all requirements relating to health, safety, civil rights, student and family participation and involvement, services to private school children, maintenance of effort, and comparability of services

Although all students in the schoolwide program are eligible for Title I, Part A services, the students who are at greatest risk of not meeting the state academic achievement standards are the main focus Annual evaluation of the program/plan effectiveness is required

New Regulations November 2008

NEW Notification Districts must notify parents of students about public school choice options no later than 14 calendar days before the start of the school year. [34 CFR (b)(4)(iv) & 34 CFR (a)(2)]

Examples of allowable costs include Parent notices Communication through the media, internet, and community partners Displaying information on the district’s website Parent fairs [34 CFR (a)(2)(iii)(C)

NEW Student information The district must prominently display on its website, in a timely manner: The number of students who were eligible for and the number of students who participated in public school choice and SES, beginning with data from the school year and each subsequent school year. For the current school year, a list of SES providers approved by the state to serve the district and the locations where services are provided. For the current school year, a list of available schools to which students eligible to participate in public school choice may transfer. [34 CFR (c)(1)]

Transparency for Parents
NEW Transparency for Parents For each district, states must post on their Web sites The amount of funds available for choice-related transportation and SES as required in §200.48(a)(2) (the 20% obligation).
