We reviewed Recovery Act expenditures at two LEAs—the Red Clay Consolidated School District and the Christina School District—and found that both districts generally obligated and spent stimulus funds in accordance with applicable laws, regulations, guidance, and program requirements. However, we identified an internal control weakness in the Christina School District’s payroll adjustment process that resulted in it obligating about $41,100 in Recovery Act funds for personnel expenditures after the grant period ended on September 30, 2011. We recommended that the Department require the Delaware Department of Education to direct the district to return the funds to the Department and implement sufficient internal controls to help ensure this does not happen in the future.
