No. 72               Finance Division

All positioned employees funded entirely or partially from a state or federal categorical program included on the district Consolidated Application must complete the first 2000-2001 Semiannual Time Accounting Certification.

This system started in 1998-99, and is a negotiated agreement between the California Department of Education (CDE) and the U.S. Department of Education (USDE) for all California school districts. This reporting system includes schools operating Title I School-Wide Programs (SWP).

Under separate cover, you will receive a Semiannual Time Accounting Certification Roster which includes all qualifying employees at your school as reflected on the district’s personnel database as of December 2000. Attached will be individual Semiannual Time Accounting Certifications for each employee.

• Principal/department head provides certification forms and explanation to each employee shown on the Semiannual Time Accounting Certification Roster.
• Employees complete, sign, and return certifications to principal/department head.
• Principal/department head reviews certification for completeness and signs.
• Principal/department head retains all certifications at the school/department for a period of five years for possible review during a federal audit or during a Coordinated Compliance Review (CCR) by the CDE.
