Page 12: MISSOURI CAREER EDUCATION: AN OVERVIEW Missouri Department of Elementary and Secondary Education September 2015

Separate Accounting12

Perkins grant must be separated from other funding sources (i.e. local funds, state funds, and other Federal funds).

Perkins funds may not be co-mingled with other funds so that they lose their identity.

Expenditures must be traceable to the source of funding.

The LEA must have a separate account or accounting code for the Perkins grant that identifies the line items of the Perkins budget and expenditures.

Expenditures coded to the Perkins account can NOT exceed the Perkins allocation.

Page 13: MISSOURI CAREER EDUCATION: AN OVERVIEW Missouri Department of Elementary and Secondary Education September 2015

Source Documentation13

Perkins expenditures must be able to be traced back to a source document.

Accounting records must be supported by source documentation such as purchase orders, invoices, expense reports, time and effort records, contracts, etc.

Must retain the documentation for at least 3 years from the date of the submission of the FER.

Page 14: MISSOURI CAREER EDUCATION: AN OVERVIEW Missouri Department of Elementary and Secondary Education September 2015

Cash Management14

Perkins financial records must show the LEA spent the Federal funds within 3 days of receipt as required by the Cash Management Improvement Act (CMIA).

The CMIA was implemented to prevent the earning of interest on Federal funds.

Payments must be for reimbursements or for expenditures anticipated to be made within 3 days.

Advance payments are not allowed.

Page 15: MISSOURI CAREER EDUCATION: AN OVERVIEW Missouri Department of Elementary and Secondary Education September 2015

Allowable Costs15

Perkins funds must be spent according to the approved plan, budget, and final expenditure report (FER).

Amounts reported on the budget and FER must be accurate and supported by documentation maintained by the LEA.

Expenditures must be appropriately budgeted and approved by the Department (especially equipment).

Amounts reported on the FER must agree with the actual expenditures.

Substantially Approvable Form17

LEAs may begin to obligate Federal Perkins funds on the date in which the Perkins application was submitted to the Department in substantially approvable form.

Substantially approvable form is when the Perkins application (budget and plan) has been completed accurately and submitted in ePeGS and the Compliance Plans System without errors.

Page 18: MISSOURI CAREER EDUCATION: AN OVERVIEW Missouri Department of Elementary and Secondary Education September 2015

Supplanting18

Perkins funds must be used to supplement and not supplant non-Federal funds.

Supplanting is presumed to have occurred when:

An LEA used Federal funds to provide services which were provided with non-Federal funds in the prior year.

An LEA used Federal funds to provide services that the LEA was required to make available under other Federal, State or local laws.

Page 19: MISSOURI CAREER EDUCATION: AN OVERVIEW Missouri Department of Elementary and Secondary Education September 2015

Time and Effort—School Districts19

Where employees work solely on a single Federal award or cost objective, charges for their salaries must be supported by periodic certifications that the employees worked solely on that program for the period covered by the certification.

These certifications must be prepared semi-annually and must be signed after-the-fact by the employee or supervisory official having firsthand knowledge of the work performed by the employee.

Employees who are paid 100% from Perkins funds or are paid a portion from Perkins funds and work on one cost objective.

Page 20: MISSOURI CAREER EDUCATION: AN OVERVIEW Missouri Department of Elementary and Secondary Education September 2015

Time and Effort—School Districts20

Where employees work on multiple cost objectives, a distribution of their salaries must be supported by Personnel Activity Reports (PARs).

The PAR must: Reflect an after-the-fact distribution of actual

activity of the employee Account for the total activity for which the

employee was compensated Be prepared monthly Be signed after-the-fact by the employee Be reviewed quarterly to ensure the

percentages reflect how the employee was actually paid.

Employees who are paid from Perkins funds and work on multiple cost objectives.

Page 21: MISSOURI CAREER EDUCATION: AN OVERVIEW Missouri Department of Elementary and Secondary Education September 2015

Time and Effort—Institutions of Higher Education21

The distribution of salaries must be supported by after-the-fact Time and Effort Reports.

The Time and Effort Reports must:Reflect the distribution of activity

expended by the employeeReflect an after-the-fact reporting of

the percentage distribution of activity of the employee

Be signed by the employee, principal investigator, or responsible official using suitable means of verification that the work was performed

Be prepared each academic term for professional staff and monthly for all other employees.

Page 22: MISSOURI CAREER EDUCATION: AN OVERVIEW Missouri Department of Elementary and Secondary Education September 2015

Stipends/Extra-Duty Pay22

Stipends and extra-duty pay must be supported by a signed written agreement between the employee and LEA.

The written agreement must:Indicate the extra work to be

performed, the date(s) of performance, and the amount to be paid to the employee

Be signed by the employee and LEA to show the acceptance of the terms.

In addition, the employee must prepare time and effort documentation (i.e. semi-annual time certification, PAR, or Time and Effort Report).

Page 23: MISSOURI CAREER EDUCATION: AN OVERVIEW Missouri Department of Elementary and Secondary Education September 2015

Equipment23

Equipment is defined as tangible personal property having a useful life of more than one year and an acquisition cost of $1,000 or more per unit.

LEAs must complete the Capital Outlay page in ePeGS to receive prior approval for equipment purchases from the Perkins Grant.

Equipment items must meet the following requirements:

Have an instructional useImprove the career and technical

education programStrengthen and support academic and

technical skill achievement

Page 24: MISSOURI CAREER EDUCATION: AN OVERVIEW Missouri Department of Elementary and Secondary Education September 2015

Inventory Management24

The following items are subject to the inventory management and control requirements:

Equipment items with an acquisition cost of $1,000 or more per unit

Items with an acquisition cost under $1,000 per unit which are considered attractive or easily pilfered:

Page 25: MISSOURI CAREER EDUCATION: AN OVERVIEW Missouri Department of Elementary and Secondary Education September 2015

Equipment Records25

Equipment records must be maintained by the LEA and include:

Description of the equipment Serial number or other identification number Source of funding for the equipment Federal Award Identification Number (FAIN) Who holds title, if applicable Acquisition date Cost of the equipment Percentage of Federal participation in the cost

of the equipment Location of the equipment Use and condition of the equipment Ultimate disposition data

A physical inventory of the equipment must be conducted and the results documented in the equipment records at least once every two years.

Page 26: MISSOURI CAREER EDUCATION: AN OVERVIEW Missouri Department of Elementary and Secondary Education September 2015

Perkins Consortium26

The Perkins Act states that funds allocated to a consortium must be used only for purposes and programs that are mutually beneficial to all members of the consortium.

Such funds may not be reallocated to individual members of the consortium for purposes or programs benefiting only one member of the consortium.

Fiscal agent should meet with all of the consortium members and determine the common needs of the consortium prior to submitting the plan and budget.

Fiscal agent must develop a written agreement with each consortium which indicates the amount of their Perkins funds, how the funds may be expended or how the funds will be utilized by the consortium, and what documentation needs to be provided to the fiscal agent for the reimbursement of expenditures. In addition, the agreement must be signed by the fiscal agent and each consortium member to show the acceptance of the terms.

FY2016 Perkins Changes28

Our Office has provided recommendations instead of mandatory requirements related to equipment and instructional furniture.

This guidance was effective July 1, 2015.

Equipment: Our Office recommends that all equipment items purchased with Perkins grant funds be received, installed, and available for student instruction by December 31 of each year. However, if the LEA does not meet this deadline, then a justification statement(s) should be written and kept locally as documentation to support the exception to this date.

Rationale: It is the expectation of this Office that equipment items are purchased early in the school year so the students can use them and benefit from their instruction. Students should have ready access to up-to-date equipment that enables improved instruction. The justification statement(s) should address these areas and also explain why the deadline was not met.

Page 29: MISSOURI CAREER EDUCATION: AN OVERVIEW Missouri Department of Elementary and Secondary Education September 2015

FY2016 Perkins Changes (cont.)29

Instructional furniture: Our Office recommends that LEAs not use Perkins grant funds to purchase instructional furniture. However, if the LEA determines there is a need for this type of item, then a justification statement(s) should be written and kept locally as documentation to support the purchase.

Rationale: The Perkins Act states that the funds must be used to improve the career and technical education programs. In addition, items purchased with Perkins funds should strengthen and support academic and technical skill achievement. Ultimately, the purpose of the Perkins program should be to develop more fully the academic and career and technical skills of students enrolled in CTE. The justification statement(s) should address these areas and also explain why Perkins grant funds were needed to support this type of cost.
