Plaquemines Parish School Board P. O. Box 69 Belle Chasse, LA 70037
We have audited the accompanying financial statements of the govemmental activities, the major fimd and the aggregate remaining fimd information of the Plaquemines Parish School Board as of June 30, 2010 and for the year then ended, which collectively comprise the School Board's basic financial statements as listed in the index to the report. These financial statements are tiie responsibility of the management of Plaquemines Parish School Board. Our responsibility is to express opinions on these financial statements based on our audit.
We conducted our audit in accordance with auditing standards generally accepted in the United States of America, and the standards applicable to financial audits contained in Government Auditing Standards, issued by the Comptroller General of the United States, and the provisions of Office of Management and Budget Circular A-133, Audits of States, Local Governments and Nonprofit Organizations. Those standards and OMB Circular A-133 require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about wheti\er the fmancial statements are fi:ee of material misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. An audit also includes assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating tiie overall financial statement presentation. We believe tiiat our audit provides a reasonable basis for our opinions.
In our opinion, the financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, tiie financial position of tiie govemmental activities, tiie major fiind and tiie aggregate remaining fiind information of tiie Plaquemines Parish School Board as of June 30. 2010, and the respective changes in financial position tiiereof for tiie year tiien ended, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.

Accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America require that the management's discussion and analysis and budgetary comparison information on pages 3 -9 and 44- 45 be presented to supplement the basic financial statements. Such information, altiiough not a part of the basic financial statements, is required by the Govemmental Accounting Standards Board, who considers it to be an essential part of financial reporting for placing the basic financial statements in an appropriate operational, economic, or historical context. We have applied certain limited procedures to the required supplementary information in accordance with auditing standards generally accepted in the United States of America, which consisted of inquiries of management about the methods of preparing the information and comparing the information for consistency with management's responses to our inquiries, the basic financial statements, and other knowledge we obtained during our audit of the basic financial statements. We do not express an opinion or provide any assurance on the information because the limited procedures do not provide us with sufficient evidence to express an opinion or provide any assurance.
Our audit was conducted for the purpose of forming an opinion on the basic financial statements as a whole. The required supplementary information on page 46, as required by the Government Accounting Standards Board, and the accompanying schedule of expenditures of federal awards, as required by U.S. Office of Management and Budget Circular A-133, Audits of States, Local Governments, and Non-Profit Organizations, are presented for purposes of additional analysis and are not required parts of the financial statements. The other supplementary information schedules on pages 47-58 and schedules required by state law on pages 72 - 94, are presented for purposes of additional analysis and are also not a required part of the financial statements. The required supplementary information on page 46, the schedule of expenditures of federal awards, the other supplementary information, and the schedules required by state law are the responsibility of management and were derived from and relate directly to the underlying accounting and other records used to prepare the financial statements. The information has been subjected to the auditing procedures applied in the audit of the financial statements and certain additional procedures, including comparing and reconciling such information directly to the underlying accounting and other records used to prepare the financial statements or to the financial statements themselves, and other additional procedures in accordance with auditing standards generally accepted in the United States of America. In our opinion, the required supplementary information on page 46, the schedule of expenditures of federal awards, and the other supplementary information are fairly stated in all material respects in relation to the financial statements as a whole. The schedules required by state law have not been subjected to the auditing procedures applied in the audit of the basic financial statements and, accordingly, we do not express an opinion or provide any assurance on them.
In accordance with Government Auditing Standards, we have also issued our report dated December 17,2010 on our consideration of the Plaquemines Parish School Board's intemal control over financial reporting and on our tests of its compliance with certain provisions of laws, regulations, contracts, grant agreements and other matters. The purpose of that report is to describe the scope of our testing of intemal control over financial reporting and compliance and the results of tiiat testing, and not to provide an opinion on the intemal control over financial reporting or on compliance. That report is an integral part of an audit performed in accordance with Government Auditing Standards and should be considered in assessing the results of our audit.

PLAQUEMINES PARISH SCHOOL BOARD MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS
AS OF JUNE 30.2010
Government-Wide Financial Statements
The govemment-wide financial statements are designed to provide readers witii a broad overview of the school board's finances, in a maimer similar to private-sector business.
The statement of net assets presents information on all of the school board's assets and liabilities, with the difference between the two reported as net assets. Over time, increases or decreases in net assets may serve as a useful indicator of whether the financial position of the school board is improving or deteriorating.
The statement of activities presents information showing how the school board's net assets changed during the most recent fiscal year. All changes in net assets are reported as soon as the underlying event giving rise to the change occurs, regardless of the timing of the cash flows. Thus, revenues and expenses reported in this statement for some items will only result in cash flows in future periods (e.g. uncollected taxes and earned but unused sick leave).
Both of the govemment-wide financial statements present functions of the school board that are principally supported by taxes and intergovernmental revenues (govemmental activities). The school board has no functions or activities which are business-like in nature, meaning that they are primarily supported by user fees and charges for services, such as a municipally owned utility system. The govemmental activities of the school board include regular and special education programs, support services, administration, maintenance, student transportation, and school food services. The school board contains no other units of government (component units) nor is it contained as a component unit of any other level of local or state government.
Fund Financial Statements
A fund is a grouping of related accounts that is used to maintain control over resources that have been segregated for specific activities or objectives. The school board, like other state and local governments, uses fimd accounting to ensure and demonstrate compliance with finance-related legal requirements. All of the fimds of the school board can be divided into two categories: govemmental funds and fiduciary fiinds.
Govemmental funds are used to account for essentially the same functions as govemmental activities in the govemment-wide financial statements. However, unlike the govemment-wide financial statements, govemmental fund financial statements focus on the near-term inflows and outflows of spendable resources, as well as on balances of spendable resources available at the end of the fiscal year. Such information may be useful in evaluating a govemment's near-term financing requirements.
PAGE 5
PLAQUEMINES PARISH SCHOOL BOARD MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS
AS OF JUNE 30. 2010
Because the focus of govemmental funds is narrower than that of the govemment-wide financial statements, it is useful to compare the information presented for govemmental funds with similar information presented for govemmental activities in the government-wide financial statements. By doing so, readers may better understand the long-term impact of the school board's near-term financing decisions. Both the govemmental fund balance sheet and the govemmental fund statement of revenues, expenditures and changes in fund balances provide a reconciliation to facilitate this comparison between governmental funds and govemmental activities.
The school board maintains many individual govemmental funds. Information is presented separately in the govemmental fund balance sheet and in the govemmental fund statement of revenues, expenditures and changes in fimd balances for the General Fund, which is considered a major fund. The remaining funds are combined into a single, aggregated presentation under the label of other govemmental funds, which contains all non-major funds. Individual fimd data for each of these non-major fiinds is provided in the form of combining statements elsewhere in this report.
Fiduciary fiinds are used to account for resources held for the benefit of outside parties such as students. Fiduciary funds are not reflected in the govemment-wide financial statements because the resources of those fimds are not available to support the school board's programs. The sole fiduciary fund of the school board is the School Activity Fund, which contains monies belonging to the schools, tiieir students, and clubs and other activities.
Notes to the Financial Statements
The notes provide additional information that is essential to a full understanding of the data provided in the govemment-wide and fund financial statements.

PLAQUEMINES PARISH SCHOOL BOARD MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS
AS OF JUNE 30.2010
Variations Between Original and Final Budgets
• The budgeted amount for ad valorem taxes was increased between the original and final budgets in order to take into account the increased amount of ad valorem taxes which were assessed during the fiscal year.
• The budgeted amount for sales taxes was decreased between the original and final budgets in order to account for the anticipated slowdown of the economy, which, in fact, did not resuU in lower sales tax revenues. The amount of sales tax revenues for the year actually increased over the amount in the original budget.
• The amount of Federal revenues was decreased between the original and final budgets to account for delays in receiving FEMA revenues to be used for the rebuilding of schools and other buildings.
• The budgeted amount of expenditures for operations and maintenance was decreased between the original and final budgets, also because of the delays encountered during the rebuilding process.
Economic Factors and Next Year's Budget
The Plaquemines Parish School Board's elected officials and management considered the following factors and indicators when setting the budget for the year ended June 30, 2011:
• For fiscal year 2011, the School Board has taken a conservative approach with respect to budgeting local sources of revenue. The budget for fiscal year 2011 includes a decrease in ad valorem and sales taxes due to the effects which the slowdown in the national economy may have on the local sales and ad valorem tax revenues.
• The fiscal year 2011 budget includes increased Federal revenues from FEMA to help fund the constmction of new permanent buildings, as well as a corresponding increase in the expenditures for these constmction costs.

FOR THE YEAR ENDED .nn JE 30.2010
Total net change in fund balances - govemmental funds * 1,207,916
Amounts reported for govemmental activities in the Statement of Activities are different because:
Capital outlays are reported in govemmental funds as expenditures. However, in the Statement of Activities, the cost of those assets is allocated over their estimated useful lives as depreciation expense. This is the amount by which capital outlays exceed depreciation in the period:
Capital outlays $ 16,937,006 Depreciation expense (2,687,397) 14,249,609
Add accumulated depreciation on capital assets retired during the year 386,446 Less cost basis of capital assets retired during the year (425,965) (39,519)
Repayment of bond and loan principal and capital leases is an expenditure in the govemmental funds, but the repayment reduces long-term liabilities in the Statement of Net Assets 1,331,818
In the Statement of Activities, certain operating expenses - compensated absences (vacation and sick leave) - are measured by the amounts eamed during the year. In the govemmental funds, however, expenditures for these items are measured by the amount of financial resources used (essentially, the amounts actually paid). This year, vacation and sick time eamed exceeded the amounts used by 367,486. (67,486)
Interest on long-term debt in the Statement of Activities differs from the amount reported in the govemmental funds because interest is recognized as an expenditure in the funds when it is due, and thus requires the use of current financial resources. In the Statement of Activities, however, interest expense is recognized as the interest accrues, regardless of when it is due. (134,542)
Some expenses reported in the Statement of Activities, such as other post employment benefits, do not require the use of current financial resources and therefore are not reported as expenditures in govemmental funds. (6,548,550)
Revenues in the Statement of Activities that do not provide current financial resources are not reported as revenues in the fund financial statements. 2,609,557

PLAQUEMINES PARISH SCHOOL BOARD NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
JUNE 30. 2010
INTRODUCTION
The Plaquemines Parish School Board was created by Louisiana Revised Statute (LSA-R.S.) 17:51 to provide public education for the children within Plaquemines Parish. The school board is authorized by LSA-R.S. 17:81 to establish poHcies and regulations for its own government consistent witii the laws of the State of Louisiana and the regulations of the Louisiana Board of Elementary and Secondary Education. The school board is comprised of nine members who are elected from nine districts for terms of four years.
During the year ended June 30, 2010, the school board operated eight schools within the parish with a total enrollment of 3,839 pupils. In conjunction with the regular educational programs, some of these schools offer head start, special education and/or adult education programs. In addition, the school board provides transportation and school food services for the students.
1. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES:
REPORTING ENTITY:
Govemmental Accounting Standards Board (GASB) Statement No. 14, The Reporting Entity, established criteria for determining the govemmental reporting entity and component units that should be included within the reporting entity. Under provisions of this Statement, the school board is considered a primary government, since it is a special purpose government that has a separately elected governing body, is legally separate and is fiscally independent of other state or local governments. As used in GASB Statement No. 14, fiscally independent means that the school board may, without the approval or consent of another govemmental entity, determine or modify its own budget, levy its own taxes or set rates or charges, and issue bonded debt. The school board also has no component units, defined by GASB Statement No. 14 as other legally separate organizations for which the elected school board members are financially accountable. There are no other primary governments with which the school board has a significant relationship.
BASIS OF PRESENTATION:
The accompanying financial statements of the Plaquemines Parish School Board have been prepared in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP) of the United States of America as applied to govemmental units. The Govemmental Accounting Standards Board (GASB) is the accepted standard-setting body for establishing govemmental accounting and financial reporting principles.
This financial report has been prepared in conformity witii GASB Statement No. 34, Basic Financial Statements - and Management's Discussion and Analysis - for State and Local Governments.

1. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES: (Continued)
FUNDS:
The school board uses fimds to maintain its financial records during the year. Fund accounting is designed to demonstrate legal compliance and to aid in financial management by segregating transactions relating to certain school board functions or activities. A fund is a separate fiscal and accounting entity with a self-balancing set of accounts.
Funds of the school board are classified into two categories: govemmental and fiduciary, as follows:
GOVERNMENTAL FUNDS:
Govemmental funds account for all or most of tiie school board's general activities. These funds focus on the sources, uses and balances of current financial resources. Expendable assets are assigned to the various govemmental funds according to the purposes for which they may be used. Current liabilities are assigned to tiie ftind from which they will be paid. The difference between a governmental fimd's assets and liabilities is reported as fimd balance. In general, fund balance represents the accumulated expendable resources which may be used to finance future period programs or operations of the school board. The followmg are tiie school board's govemmental fiinds:
General Fund:
The General Fund is tiie primary operating fund of the school board and it accounts for all financial resources, except tiiose required to be accounted for in otiier funds. The General Fund is available for any purpose provided it is expended or transferred in accordance witii state and federal laws and in accordance with school board policy.
Special Revenue Funds:
Special revenue fiinds are used to account for the proceeds of specific revenue sources tiiat are legally restricted to expenditures for specified purposes, or designated by the school board to be accounted for separately.
Debt Service Funds:
Debt service fiinds are established to meet requirements of bond ordinances and to account for transactions relating to resources retained and used for tiie payment of principal and interest on general long-term debt.

1. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES: (Continued)
GOVERNMENTAL FUNDS: (Continued)
Capital Project Funds:
Capital project funds account for financial resources received and used for the acquisition, constmction, or improvement of major capital facilities not reported in the other govemmental funds.
FIDUCIARY FUND:
Fiduciary fund reporting focuses on net assets and changes in net assets. The only fund accounted for in this category by the school board is the school activities agency fund. The agency fund accounts for assets held by the school board as an agent for schools and school organizations. These funds are custodial in nature (assets equal liabilities) and do not involve measurement of results of operations. Consequentiy, tiie agency fund has no measurement focus but does use the modified accrual basis of accounting.
MEASUREMENT FOCUS/BASIS OF ACCOUNTING:
Government-Wide Financial Statements:
The Statement of Net Assets and the Statement of Activities display information about the reporting govemment as a whole. These statements include all the financial activities of the school board, except for the fiduciary fund. Fiduciary funds are reported only in the Statement of Fiduciary Net Assets at the fiind financial statement level.
The Government-Wide Financial Statements were prepared using the economic resources measurement focus and the accmal basis of accounting. Revenues, expenses, gains, losses, assets and liabilities resulting from exchange or exchange-like transactions are recognized when tiie exchange occurs (regardless of when cash is received or disbursed). Revenues, expenses, gains, losses, assets and liabilities resulting from nonexchange transactions are recognized in accordance with tiie requirements of GASB Statement No. 33, Accounting and Financial Reporting for Nonexchange Transactions. The school board first utilizes restricted resources to finance qualifying activities.
Program Revenues:
Program revenues included in tiie Statement of Activities are derived directly from parties outside of the school board's taxpayers or citizenry, as a whole; program revenues reduce tiie cost of the function to be financed from the school board's general revenues.

I. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES: (Continued)
MEASUREMENT FCXUS/BASIS OF ACCOUNTING: (Continued)
Govemment-Wide Financial Statements: ((^bntinued)
Allocation of Indirect Expenses:
The school board reports all direct expenses by function in the Statement of Activities. Direct expenses are those that are clearly identifiable by function. Indirect expenses of other functions are not allocated to those functions but are reported separately in the Statement of Activities. Interest on long-term debt is considered an indirect expense and is reported separately on the Statement of Activities.
Fund Financial Statements:
Govemmental fvmds are accounted for using a current financial resources measurement focus. With this measurement focus, only current assets and current liabilities are generally included on the balance sheet. The Statement of Revenues, Expenditures, and Changes in Fund Balances reports on the sources (i.e., revenues and other financing sources) and uses (i.e., expenditures and other financing uses) of current financial resources. This approach differs, from the maimer in which the govemmental activities of the Govemment-Wide Financial Statements are prepared. Governmental Fund Financial Statements therefore include a reconciliation with brief explanations to better identify the relationship between the Govemment-Wide Statements and the statements for govemmental funds.
Fund Financial Statements report detailed information about the school board. The focus of govemmental Fund Financial Statements is on major funds rather than reporting funds by type. Each major fund is presented in a separate column.
Govemmental fimds and the agency fund use the modified accrual basis of accounting. Under the modified accmal basis of accounting, revenues are recognized when susceptible to accmal (i.e., when they become both measurable and available). Measurable means the amount of the transaction can be determined and available means collectible within the current period or soon enough thereafter to pay liabilities of the current period. The school board considers all revenues except federal grant revenue available if they are collected witiiin 60 days after tiie fiscal year end. Federal grant revenue is considered available if collected within 150 days after tiie fiscal year end. Expendimres are recorded when flie related fimd liability is incurred, except for interest and principal payments on general long-term debt which are recognized when due, and certain compensated absences and claims and judgments which are recognized when the obligations are expected to be liquidated with expendable available financial resources. The govemmental funds use the following practices in recording revenues and expenditures;
Revenues:
Federal and state grants and entitiements are recorded as unrestricted grants-in-aid when available and measurable. Grant revenue is recorded as deferred revenue if it is measurable but not available.

The taxes are generally collected in December, January and Febmary of the fiscal year.
Sales and use taxes are recorded as revenue in the month collected by the merchants.
Income on deposits, cash equivalents and investments is recorded when measurable and available.
Revenues from rentals, leases and royalties are recorded when eamed.
Substantially all other revenues are recorded when received.

Other Financing Sources (Uses):
Transfers between fimds that are not expected to be repaid (or any other types, such as capital lease transactions, sale of capital assets, debt extinguishments, long-term debt proceeds) are accounted for as other financing sources (uses). These other financing sources (uses) are recognized at the time the underlying events occur.
BUDGETS:
The following summarizes the budget activities of the school board for the year ended June 30,2010:
2009-2010 Budget Year Completed & Available for Public Inspection July 17,2009 Public Notice July 28,2009 Public Hearing August 3,2009 Board Adoption September 14,2009
The school board is required to adopt armual budgets for the General Fund and all Special Revenue Funds. Budgetary comparisons for the General Fund are included as required supplementary information.
The budget is prepared on the modified accmal basis of accounting. All appropriations lapse at year end. Encumbrances are recognized within the accounting records for budgetary control purposes. Formal budget integration (within the accounting records) is employed as a management control device. The Superintendent of schools is autiiorized to transfer amounts between line items within any fund. However, when actual revenues within a fund fail to meet budgeted revenues by 5% or more and/or actual expendimres within a fiind exceed budgeted expenditures by 5% or more, a budget revision is adopted by the school board in an open meeting. Budget amounts included in required supplementary information include the original adopted budget and the final revised budget.
INTERFUND RECEIVABLES/PAYABLES:
During tiie course of operations, numerous transactions occur between individual funds for goods provided or services rendered. These receivables and payables and short-term interfimd loans are classified as interfund receivables/payables on file balance sheet in tiie Fund Financial Statements.
PAGE 24
PLAQUEMINES PARISH SCHOOL BOARD NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
JUNE 30.2010
1. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES: (Continued)
ADVANCES TO OTHER FUNDS:
Non-current portions of interfund loan receivables and payables are reported as advances.
INVENTORIES:
Inventory of the Food Service Fund consists of commodities granted by the United States Department of Agriculture through the Louisiana Department of Agriculture and Forestry. The commodities are recorded as revenues when received and as expenses when consumed. Commodities are assigned values based on information provided by the Uiuted States Department of Agriculture on a first-in, first-out method.
Food purchased by tiie school board is expensed at the time of purchase.
CAPITAL ASSETS:
Capital assets are valued at historical cost, estimated cost, or fair value if donated. The school board maintains a threshold level of $5,000 or more for capitalizing assets.
Capital assets are recorded in the Govemment-Wide Financial Statements but are not reported in the Fund Financial Statements. Since surplus assets are sold for an immaterial amount when declared as no longer needed for public school purposes by the school board, no salvage value is taken into consideration for depreciation purposes. All capital assets, other than land, are depreciated using the straight-line method over the following useful lives:

The flow of assets from one fimd to another where repayment is not expected is reported as transfers in and out.
SALES AND USE TAXES:
The school board levies one percent sales and use tax with receipts deposited in the General Fund. The proceeds of this tax are dedicated and used for any lawfiil school purpose, including payments of salaries and fiinge benefits, building operations and maintenance, and instmctional programs.

5. EMPLOYEE RETIREMENT SYSTEMS:
Substantially all employees of the school board are members of two statewide retirement systems, both of which are cost-sharing multiple-employer public employee retirement systems (PERS). In general, professional employees (such as teachers and principals) and lunchroom workers are members of the Louisiana Teachers' Retirement System (TRS); and other employees, such as custodial persormel and bus drivers, are members of the Louisiana School Employees' Retirement System (LSERS). Generally, all fiill-time employees are eligible to participate in the systems, with employee benefits vesting after 10 years ofservice.
Under LSERS, employees are eligible to retire after attaining age 60 and 10 years of accredited service, age 55 and 25 years of accredited service, or any age with 30 years of accredited service. The retirement benefit will be paid monthly based on 2.5% of average final compensation times the years of creditable service (including creditable unused sick and armual leave), plus an additional .5% of average final compensation times the years of creditable service in excess of 20 years, plus two dollars per month for each year of creditable service supplemental benefit, not to exceed average fmal compensation. The plan also includes disability retirement benefits.
The formula for annual maximum retirement benefits under TRS is 2 or 2.5% (Regular Plan) , or 1 or 3% (Plan A) of final average salary for each year of credited service. Final average salary is
based upon the member's highest successive thirty-six months of salary. Benefits are paid monthly for life.
Benefits of the systems are fimded by employee and employer contributions. The contribution rates (as a percentage of covered salaries) are established by state law as follows:
Louisiana School Employees' Retirement System Louisiana Teachers' Retirement System - Regular Louisiana Teachers' Retirement System - Plan A Louisiana Teachers' Retirement System - ORP
The school board's employer contribution for the TRS, as provided by state law, is funded by the State of Louisiana through annual appropriations, by deductions from local ad valorem taxes, and by remittances from the school board. For tiie year ended June 30, 2010, $567,869 was remitted to tiie TRS by the Plaquemines Parish Sheriff for the school board from ad valorem tax and revenue sharing deductions.

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect certain reported amounts and disclosures. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
15. SELF INSURANCE:
The school board is self-insured for workman's compensation in the amount of $300,000 per accident. The excess is insured under an insurance policy. The fund is administered by an independent insurance service company.
The estimated claims liability is computed based on information received from the administrator of the plan. The following represents a reconciliation of total claims hability:
2010 2009
Claims liability at July I $292,515 $ 246,897 Less: Claims paid during tiie year (323,201) (210,360) Plus: Claims incurred 394,451 255.978 Claims liability at June 30 $ 363.765 $ 292.515
The claims liability at June 30, 2010 is presented at current value and has not been discounted.
16. LOSS CONTINGENCY:
The school board is a defendant in lawsuits filed by various parties. The school board is covered by insurance subject to a $100,000 deductible per instance. Based on the opinion of the school board's attorney, the potential liability to the school board for these lawsuits will not be material to the financial statements.
17. OTHER POSTEMPLOYMENT BENEFITS:
Effective for the fiscal year beginning July 1, 2008, the school board implemented Govemment Accounting Standards Board Statement Number 45, Accounting and Financial Reporting by Employers for Postemploymcnt Benefits Other than Pensions (GASB 45). It was implemented prospectively, therefore, comparative data for years prior to the fiscal year begirming July 1,2008 is not presented.

Plan Description
The school board offers a medical and life insurance plan (the Plan), to qualifying employees upon retirement. The Plan is a single employer defined benefit health plan. The school board has the authority to establish and amend plan provisions.
Employees who meet the requirements of retirement under their state sponsored plan. Teachers Retirement System of Louisiana or Louisiana School Employees' Retirement System are eligible to participate in the Plan. In addition, disabled employees with at least 5 years of service are eligible for benefits. Coverage for medical benefits is provided from the date of retirement, for the balance of the retiree's life, and is contingent on the payment of the retiree's premium. Participants have initial life insurance coverage of $10,000. Life insurance drops to 75% of initial amount at age 65 and 50% at age 70.
Contribution Rates
Retirees pay a portion of the insured premium, in accordance with their level of coverage. For the year ended June 30,2010, the retiree portion of the monthly premium ranged from $0 to $43 for single coverage and $220 to $459 for spouse and beneficiary coverage. The school board's portion ranged from $189 to $492 for single coverage and $718 to $1,113 for spouse and beneficiary coverage.
Fundins Policy
Until July 1, 2008, the school board recognized the cost of providing postemploymcnt medical and life insurance benefits (the school board's portion of the retiree medical and life insurance benefits) as an expense when the benefit premiums were due and thus financed the cost of the postemploymcnt benefits on a pay-as-you-go basis. The school board has the authority to establish or amend obligations of plan members and the school board to contribute to the plan.
Annual Required Contribution
The school board's Annual Required Contribution (ARC) is an amount actuarially determined. The ARC is the sum of the Normal Cost plus the contribution to amortize the Actuarial Accmed Liability (AAL). A level dollar, closed amortization period of 30 years has been used for the postemploymcnt benefits. The total ARC for the fiscal year begirming July 1, 2009 is $8,650,359, as set forth below:
Normal Cost $ 3,993,432 30-year UAL amortization amount 4,778,701 Interest 312,123 Adjustment to the ARC (433.897) Annual required contribution (ARC) $ 8.650,359

17. OTHER POSTEMPLOYMENT BENEFITS: (Continued)
Actuarial Methods and Assumptions
Actuarial valuations involve estimates of the value of reported amounts and assumptions about the probability of events far into the future. The actuarial valuation for other postemploymcnt benefits includes estimates and assumptions regarding the measurement date, the discount rate for valuing liabiHties, mortality rates, withdrawal rates, disability rates, retirement rates, coverage assumptions, spouse age differences, surviving spouse coverage upon retiree death, administrative expense load, per capita medical benefit costs and medical inflation. Actuarially determined amounts are subject to continual revision as actual results are compared to past expectations and new estimates are made about the fiiture.
The actuarial calculations are based on the types of benefits provided under the terms of the substantive plan (the plan as understood by the school board and its employee plan members) at the time of the valuation and on the pattern of sharing costs between the school board and its plan members to that point. The projection of benefits for financial reporting
^ purposes does not explicitly incorporate the potential effects of legal or contractual funding limitations on the pattern of cost sharing between the school board and plan members in the future. Consistent with the long-term perspective of actuarial calculations, the actuarial methods and assumptions used include techniques that are designed to reduce short-term volatility in actuarial liabilities and the actuarial value of assets.
Actuarial Cost Method
The ARC is determined using the Unit Credit Actuarial Cost Method. This method determines, in a systematic way, the incidence of plan sponsor contributions required to provide plan benefits. It also determines how actuarial gains and losses are recognized in pension costs. These gains and losses result from the difference between the actual experience under the plan and the experience by the acmarial assumptions. The cost of the plan is derived by making certain specific assumptions as to rates of interest, mortality, turnover, etc., which are assumed to hold for many years into the future. The actuarial cost method assumptions include a 4% discount rate for valuing liabilities. Since actual experience may differ somewhat from the long term assumptions, the costs determined by the valuation must be regarded as estimates of the tme costs of the plan. The unfimded actuarial accmed liability is being amortized as a level percentage of payroll over an open amortization period of 30 years in developing the annual required contribution.

REPORT ON INTERNAL CONTROL OVER FINANCIAL REPORTING AND ON COMPLIANCE AND OTHER MATTERS
BASED ON AN AUDIT OF FINANCIAL STATEMENTS PERFORMED IN ACCORDANCE WITH GOVERNMENT AUDITING STANDARDS
December 17,2010 Plaquemines Parish School Board Belle Chasse, Louisiana
We have audited the financial statements of the govemmental activities, the major fimd and the aggregate remaining fimd information of the Plaquemines Parish School Board as of and for the year ended June 30, 2010 which collectively comprise the school board's basic financial statements and have issued our report thereon dated December 17, 2010. We conducted our audit in accordance with auditing standards generally accepted in the United States of America and the standards applicable to financial audits contained in Govemment Auditing Standards, issued by the Comptroller General of the United States.
Intemal Control Over Financial Reporting
In planning and performing our audit, we considered the school board's intemal control over financial reporting as a basis for designing our auditing procedures for the purpose of expressing our opinions on the financial statements, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the school board's intemal control over financial reporting. Accordingly, we do not express an opinion on the effectiveness of the Plaquemines Parish School Board's intemal control over financial reporting.
A deficiency in intemal control exists when the design or operation of a control does not allow management or employees, in the normal course of performing their assigned fimctions, to prevent or detect and correct misstatements on a timely basis. A material weakness is a deficiency, or a combination of deficiencies, in intemal control such that there is a reasonable possibility that a material misstatement of the entity's financial statements will not be prevented, or detected and corrected on a timely basis.

PAGE 60
Our consideration of intemal control over financial reporting was for the limited purpose described in the first paragraph of this section and was not designed to identify all deficiencies in intemal control over financial reporting that might be deficiencies, significant deficiencies or material weaknesses. We did not identify any deficiencies in intemal control over financial reporting that we consider to be material weaknesses, as defined above.
Compliance and Other Matters
As part of obtaining reasonable assurance about whether the school board's financial statements are free of material misstatement, we performed tests of its compliance with certain provisions of laws, regulations, contracts and grant agreements, noncompliance with which could have a direct and material effect on the determination of financial statement amounts. However, providing an opinion on compliance with those provisions was not an objective of our audit, and accordingly, we do not express such an opinion. The results of our tests disclosed no instances of noncompliance or other matters that are required to be reported under Government Auditing Standards.
We noted certain matters that we reported to management of Plaquemines Parish School Board in a separate letter dated December 17,2010.
This report is intended solely for the information and use of Plaquemines Parish School Board, its management, the State of Louisiana and the Legislative Auditor for the State of Louisiana and is not intended to be and should not be used by anyone other than these specified parties. Under Louisiana Revised Statute 24:513, this report is distributed by the Legislative Auditor as a public document.

INDEPENDENT AUDITOR'S REPORT ON COMPLIANCE WITH REQUIREMENTS THAT COULD HAVE A DIRECT
AND MATERIAL EFFECT ON EACH MAJOR PROGRAM AND ON INTERNAL CONTROL OVER
COMPLIANCE IN ACCORDANCE WITH OMB CIRCULAR A-133
December 17,2010 Plaquemines Parish School Board Belle Chasse, Louisiana
Compliance
We have audited the compliance of Plaquemines Parish School Board, with the types of compliance requirements described in the U.S. Office of Management and Budget (OMB) Circular A-133 Compliance Supplement that could have a direct and material effect on each of its major federal programs for the year ended June 30, 2010. The school board's major federal programs are identified in the summary of auditor's results section of the accompanying schedule of findings and questioned costs. Compliance with the requirements of laws, regulations, contracts and grants applicable to each of its major federal programs is the responsibility of the school board's management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on the school board's compliance based on our audit.
We conducted our audit of compliance in accordance with auditing standards generally accepted in the United States of America; the standards applicable to financial audits contained in Govemment Auditing Standards, issued by the Comptroller General of the United States; and OMB Circular A-133, Audits of States, Local Governments, and Non-profit Organizations. Those standards and OMB Circular A-133 require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether noncompliance with the types of compliance requirements referred to above that could have a direct and material effect on a major federal program occurred. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence about the school board's compliance with those requirements and performing such other procedures as we considered necessaiy in the circumstances. We believe that our audit provides a reasonable basis for our opinion. Our audit does not provide a legal determination on the school board's compliance with those requirements.

In our opinion, the school board complied, in all material respects, with the compliance requirements referred to above that could have a direct and material effect on each of its major federal programs for the year ended June 30, 2010. However, the results of our auditing procedures disclosed one instance of non-compliance with those requirements, which is required to be reported in accordance with OMB Circular A-133 and which is described in the accompanying schedule of findings and questioned costs as item 2010-01.
Intemal Control Over Compliance
The management of Plaquemines Parish School Board is responsible for establishing and maintaining effective intemal control over compliance with the requirements of laws, regulations, contracts, and grants applicable to federal programs. In planning and performing our audit, we considered the school board's intemal control over compliance with the requirements that could have a direct and material effect on a major federal program to determine our auditing procedures for the purpose of expressing our opinion on compliance, and to test and report on intemal control over compliance in accordance with OMB A-133, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on tfie effectiveness of intemal control over compliance. Accordingly, we do not express an opinion on the effectiveness of Plaquemines Parish School Board's internal control over compliance.
A deficiency in intemal control over compliance exists when the design or operation of a control over compliance does not allow management or employees, in the normal course of performing their assigned fimctions, to prevent, or detect and correct, noncompliance with a type of compliance requirement of a federal program on a timely basis. A material weakness in intemal control over compliance is a deficiency, or combination of deficiencies, in intemal control over compliance, such that there is a reasonable possibility that material noncompliance with a type of compliance requirement of a federal program will not be prevented, or detected and corrected, on a timely basis.
Our consideration of intemal control over compliance was for the limited purpose described in the first paragraph of this section and was not designed to identify all deficiencies in intemal control over compliance that might be deficiencies or material weaknesses. We did not identify any deficiencies in intemal control over compliance that we consider to be material weaknesses, as defined above.
The school board's response to the finding identified in our audit is described in the accompanying schedule of findings and questioned costs. We did not audit the school board's response and, accordingly, we express no opinion on the response.
This report is intended solely for the information and use of Plaquemines Parish School Board, its management, the State of Louisiana and the Legislative Auditor for the State of Louisiana and is not intended to be and should not be used by anyone other than these specified parties. Under Louisiana Revised Statute 24:513, this report is distributed by the Legislative Auditor as a public document.

PLAQUEMINES PARISH SCHOOL BOARD SUMMARY SCHEDULE OF PRIOR AUDIT FINDINGS
FOR THE YEAR ENDED JUNE 30. 2010
FINDINGS REOUIRED TO BE REPORTED UNDER GENERALLY ACCEPTED GOVERNMENTAL AUDITING STANDARDS:
ACCOUNTING AND REPORTING PROCESS: (2009-01)
Condition:
Criteria:
Cause:
Effect:
Recommendation:
The School Board experienced significant delays in its accounting and reporting process.
Complete and accurate general ledgers, including supporting schedules for balances in the general ledger should be produced timely.
There is a lack of training and skills required for producmg complete and accurate financial statements and for monitoring and reviewing the completeness and accuracy of the financial statements.
There are significant delays in the production of timely and accurate financial statements needed to meet reporting requirements.
It was recommended that the school board perform a thorough evaluation of the accounting process and consider hiring an outside consulting firm to advise the school board to make the accounting process more efficient and productive. It was also recommended that the school board consider establishing an audit committee in an effort to improve financial oversight and to monitor intemal controls and accounting policies and procedures.
This finding has been resolved with assistance fi'om outside sources.
CASH RECONCILIATION AND MANAGEMENT: (2009-02)
Condition:
Criteria:
Cause:
Effect:
Reconciliations for the general fiind operating account, general fund payroll account and federal fimd account were not prepared during the fiscal year. Certain employees authorized to make cash transfers have access to payroll and other accounting databases.
All bank accounts should be reconciled to the general ledger on a monthly basis, and there should be segregation of cash management duties.
There is a lack of training and skills required for producing accurate and timely financial information. Cash transfer duties have been assigned to expedite the transfer process.
The cash flow position of the school board is not determined at any given point in time, which impacts management's ability to monitor operations and manage cash flow. Misappropriation of cash is possible due to lack of segregation of duties.

No exceptions were noted.
4. We obtained a list of fiill-time teachers, principals and assistant principals by classification as of October 1st and as reported on the schedule. We traced a sample of 25 teachers to the individual's persormel file and determined if the individual's education level was properly classified on the schedule.

PAGE 74
Number and Type of Public Schools (Schedule 3)
5. We obtained a list of schools by type as reported on the schedule. We compared the list to the schools and grade levels as reported on the Title I, Grants to Local Educational Agencies (CFDA 84.010A) application for program year 2009-2010.
No exceptions were noted.
Experience of Public Principals. Assistant Principals and Full-time Classroom Teachers (Schedule 4)

7. We obtained a list of all classroom teachers including their base salary, extra compensation, and ROTC or rehired retiree status as well as fiill-time equivalent as reported on the schedule and traced a random sample of 25 teachers to the individual's personnel file and determined if the individual's salary, extra compensation, and fiill-time equivalents were properly included on the schedule.
8. We recalculated the average salaries and fiill-time equivalents reported in the schedule.
No exceptions were noted.

9. We obtained a Hst of classes by school, school type and class size as of October 1st to reconcile to class sizes as reported on the schedule and to reconcile school type classifications to Schedule 3 data, as obtained in procedure 5. We traced a sample of 10 classes to the October 1 ' rollbooks for these classes to determine if the class was properly classified on Schedule 6.
The following exceptions were noted:
a) For 4 out of 10 classes selected for testing, the number of students per the roll books did not agree to the number of students per the supporting schedules; however, the class size was classified correctiy.
b) For 1 out of 10 classes selected for testing, the number of students per tiie roll books did not agree to the number of smdents per the supporting schedules. This resulted in tiie class being incorrectly included in the 1-20 category instead of the 21-26 category.
Recommendation:
We recommend tiiat the school board implement procedures to property report the class sizes on Schedule 6.
PAGE 75

December 17,2010 Plaquemines Parish School Board 557 F. Edward Hebert Blvd. Belle Chasse, LA 70037
In planning and performing our audit of the financial statements of the Plaquemines Parish School Board for the year ended June 30, 2010, we considered its internal control as a basis for designing our auditing procedures for the purpose of expressing our opinion on the financial statements but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of its intemal control. However, during our audit, we became aware of certain matters that are opportunities for strengthening intemal control and improving operating efficiency. Following is a summary of our comments and recommendations regarding those matters.
FEMA - DUPLICATE REIMBURSEMENT: (2010-01)
It was noted that current year expenditures in the amount of $14,821 were included twice on requests for reimbxirsements from the Department of Homeland Security. The school board received an overpayment for this amount during the year ended June 30,2010.
Items requested for reimbursement should be adequately documented to avoid duplication. The duplicate request of expenditures was an unintentional error.
It is recommended that the school board take the necessary action to repay the $ 14,821.
FEDERAL FUND BANK ACCOUNT- DEFICIT CASH BALANCES: (2010-02)
It was noted that twenty federal grants are combined in one bank account. Ten of these twenty grants had deficit balances in the general ledger. The federal fiind bank account maintains a positive balance due to advances fi'om the general operating fiind. The co-mingling of twenty grants in one bank account creates the potential for improper payment of grant expenditures using another grant's revenue.
It is recommended that the school board review the federal fund bank account and consider opening separate accounts for the larger federal grants such as Title I, Head Start and Restart.

Plaquemines Parish School Board -2- December 17,2010
FEMA REQUESTS FOR REIMBURSEMENT: (2010-03)
It was noted that FEMA expenditures were not always requested for reimbursement timely. In some instances, requests for reimbursements were made several months afl:er the expenditures were incurred. It was also noted that reimbursement for expenditures totaling $756,923 during the period February - April 2010 has not been requested as of the current date.
We recommend that the school board request reimbursement of expenditures firom grantors timely. This would assist in cash management and allow for timely reconciliation of grants revenue and receivable balances.
BUDGET PREPARATION AND AMENDMENTS: (2010-04)
Per LRS 39:1311 A, the school board is required to amend its budget when expenditures increase above 5% of the amounts budgeted for general and special revenue fimds. The Food Service, Special Education and Title IV fiinds had final budget variances greater than 5%. Therefore, the school board was not in compliance with the Louisiana Budget Act for these fimds. In addition, it was noted that no budget was prepared for the CDBG fimd.
It is recommended that the budgets for each fimd be reviewed periodically and amended when required by state law. It is also recommended that budgets be prepared for all applicable fimds.
CAPITAL ASSETS: (2010-05)
Louisiana Revised Statute 24:515 (B) requires every public entity to maintain records of all capital assets purchased or otherwise acquired for which the entity is accountable, and states that the records shall include information as to the acquisition date, cost, disposition, purpose of disposition and recipients of disposed assets. The school board took a physical inventory of all capital assets as of June 30, 2010. It was noted that capital asset and construction in progress additions per the asset database were not properly reconciled to the general ledger. As a result, several assets were not included in the asset database and construction in progress schedule. It was also noted that three assets in the database could not be located during the asset observation procedures.
It is recommended that tiie school board reconcile asset additions and construction in progress to the general ledger timely and that inventory of assets be adjusted for assets disposed or missing.
EXPENDITURE APPROVALS: (2010-06)
During audit testing of the Title I, FEMA, and Headstart federal grant programs, samples of expenditures were tested for various attributes, including proper approvals. It was noted in several instances that expenditures for construction expenses and payroll reimbursements had proper supporting documentation, but did not contain evidence of approval.
It is recommended that all expenditures be properly approved prior to payment.
Management's response to 2010-01 is included in the Schedule of Findings and (^estioned Costs on Page 68 of the audit report. Management's responses to 2010-02 tiirough 2010-06 are included in the attached letter to the Legislative Audit Advisory Council.
Plaquemines Parish School Board -3- December 17,2010
THEFT OF FUNDS: (2010-07)
The former finance director for tiie School Board has been indicted by Plaquemines Parish Grand Jury in connection with tfie theft of fiinds from the School Board. The former finance director was suspended by tiie School Board and later resigned from her position. A forensic investigation was performed by an independent accoimting firm. The investigation concluded that tiie fiinds in question had been repaid to the School Board and that no other unusual transactions were noted.
It appears that the School Board has taken appropriate actions in this matter and no fiutiier response is necessary.
STATUS OF PRIOR YEAR FINDINGS:
Following is the status of items reported in the management comment letter for the year ended June 30, 2009:
ACCOUNTING AND REPORTING PROCESS: (2009-01)
It was noted that the school board experiences significant delays in its accounting and reporting process. Complete and accurate general ledgers, including supporting schedules for balances in the general ledger should be produced timely.
There is a lack of training and skills required for producing complete and accurate financial statements and for monitoring and reviewing tiie completeness and accuracy of the financial statements. As a result, there are significant delays in the production of timely and accurate financial statements needed to meet reporting requirements.
It was recommended that the school board perform a thorough evaluation of the accounting process and consider hiring an outside consulting firm to advise the school board to make the accounting process more efficient and productive. It was also recommended that the school board consider establishing an audit committee to improve financial oversight and to monitor intemal control and accounting policies and procedures.
This finding has been resolved with assistance from outside sources.
CASH RECONCILIATION AND MANAGEMENT: (2009-02)
Reconciliations to tiie general ledger for the general fimd operating account, general fimd payroll account and federal fimd account were not prepared during the year. Certain employees autiiorized to make cash transfers have access to payroll and other accounting databases. All bank accounts should be reconciled to tiie general ledger on a monthly basis, and tiiere should be segregation of cash management.
There is a lack of training and skills required for producing accurate and timely financial information. Cash transfer duties have been assigned to expedite tiie transfer process.

As a result of delays in the accounting process, the cash flow position of the school board is not determined at any given point in time, which impacts management's ability to monitor operations and manage cash flow. Misappropriation of cash is possible due to lack of segregation of duties.
It was recommended tiiat all bank accounts be reconciled monthly to tiie general ledger. It was also recommended that cash transfer duties be segregated from accounting database duties.
This finding has been resolved with assistance from outside sources.
TITLE I - DUPLICATE REIMBURSEMENT: (2009-03)

It was recommended that the school board inform the Department of Education of the duplicate payment and take necessary action to repay the $138,780.
This finding has been resolved.

Interest eamed on advances by grantees is required to be submitted timely to the federal agency. The grantee may retain up to $100 per year for administrative expenses. The school board does not have procedures in place to monitor interest eamed and to remit it timely to the appropriate federal agency. As a result, the school board retained $5,162 of interest income that should be remitted to a federal agency.
It was recommended that the school board implement procedures to monitor interest eamed on federal fimds and remit the interest to the appropriate federal agency timely.

It was recommended that tiie school board complete financial information in a timely manner to meet the required report deadline.
This finding has been resolved.
FEDERAL FUND BANK ACCOUNT- DEFICIT CASH BALANCES: (2009-06)
It was noted that nineteen federal grants are combined in one bank account. Eleven of these nineteen grants had deficit balances in the general ledger. The federal fimd bank account maintains a positive balance due to advances from the general operating fimd. The co-mingling of nineteen grants in one bank accoimt creates the potential for improper payment of grant expenditures using another grant's revenue.
It was recommended that the school board review tiie federal fiind bank account and consider opening separate accounts for the larger federal grants such as Titie I, Head Start and Restart.
This finding has been repeated in the current year.
JOURNAL ENTRIES: (2009-07)
Instances were noted where joumal entries were not reviewed and approved prior to posting in tiie general ledger. In addition, supporting documentation for joumal entries is not always maintained consistently.
It was recommended that all joumal entries be supported with appropriate documentation and be approved by management prior to posting.
This finding has been resolved.
INTER-FUND RECEIVABLES AND PAYABLES: (2009-08)
Inter-fund receivables and payables, including electronic fund transfers payable, were not reconciled throughout the year. The school board attempted to reconcile tiiese accounts during the audit. However, the accounts did not balance and were subsequentiy corrected with audit adjustments.
The majority of inter-fund transactions are related to payroll expenses and federal fimd revenues. Payroll expenses were not tracked by fiind to determine how much is owed each pay period. Joumal entries were posted to the general fund for the transactions without reconciling to supporting documentation. In addition, there is no consistency in the timing of reimbursements between the general operating and special revenue fimds.
It was recommended that tiie inter-fimd receivables and payables be reconciled to tiie general ledger montiily and be supported with proper documentation. It is also recommended that policies be implemented to ensure timely reimbursements are made.
This finding has been resolved with assistance from outside sources.
Plaquemines Parish School Board -6- December 17,2010
PAYROLL DEDUCTIONS PAYABLE: (2009-09)
Payroll deduction liability accounts were not reconciled to tiie general ledger. There are approximately 75 payroll deduction liability accoimts within the general ledger. The majority of the discrepancies were corrected during the audit; however some un-reconciled amounts remained as of June 30,2009.
It was recommended that payroll deduction liability accounts be properly reconciled to tiie general ledger on a timely basis.
This finding has been resolved with assistance from outside sources.
CAPITAL ASSETS: (2009-10)
Louisiana Revised Statute 24:515 (B) requires every public entity to maintain records of all capital assets purchased or otherwise acquired for which the entity is accountable, and states tiiat tiie records shall include information as to the acquisition date, cost, disposition, purpose of disposition and recipients of disposed assets. The school board took a physical inventory of all capital assets as of June 30, 2009. It was noted that capital asset additions per the asset database were not reconciled to the general ledger. As a result, several assets were not included in the asset database. It was also noted that four assets in the database could not be located during the asset observation procedures.
It was recommended that the school board reconcile asset additions and constmction in progress to the general ledger timely and that inventory of assets be adjusted for assets disposed or missing.
This finding has been repeated in the current year.
PERFORMANCE BASED ENERGY EFFICIENCY CONTRACT: (2009-11)
The Louisiana Legislative Auditor has recentiy contacted govemmental entities and audit firms concemmg the legality of performance-based energy efficiency contracts. Currentiy, the school board has such a contract with Johnson Controls.
LRS 33:4547.1-3 requires tiiat
a) annual energy cost savings be guaranteed by the contractor
b) the calculation of aimual energy cost savings shall include fiiture capital expenditures avoided and maintenance savings (operational cost savings)
c) annual energy cost savings be measurable and verifiable
It appears that the annual "operational cost savings'* component included in tiie contract was stipulated and not actually guaranteed by tiie contractor and tiie annual energy cost savings shortfall for this contract was calculated using "energy savings" only. Also, the contract does not contain provisions for the annual monitoring and measurement of stipulated costs.
Plaquemines Parish School Board -7- December 17,2010
The school board has voted to chancel the contract with Johnson Controls in order to be in compliance with state laws; however as of the date of the audit report, the contract has not been voided.
It was recommended that the school board continue its efforts to void the energy efficiency contract to be in compliance with state law.
This finding has been resolved.
BUDGET ACT: (2009-12)
During the audit, the school board's compUance with the Louisiana Budget Act was tested. Per LRS 39:1311 A, the school board is required to amend its budget when expenditures increase above 5% or revenues fall below 5% of the amounts budgeted for the general and special revenue fimds. The School Board was not in compliance with the Louisiana Budget Act for the Head Start Constmction Fund, Titie FV - Safe and Dmg Free Schools Fund, Technical Preparation Fund, Special Education Fund, Food Services Fund and General Fund.
It was recommended that the budget be reviewed periodically and amended when required by state law.
This finding has been repeated in the current year.
This report is intended for the information and use of the Plaquemines Parish School Board, its management, the State of Louisiana and the Legislative Auditor for the State of Louisiana and is not intended to be and should not be used by anyone other than these specified parties.

The following is Management's Response to the findings listed in the Management Letter for the year ended June 30,2010:
2010-02 Federal Fund Bank Account-Deficit Cash Balances
We will consider opening additional bank accounts for Federal grant fimds. We will consider whether additional accounts will create additional accounting requirements, or whether closer monitoring of the fimds will be sufficient to ensure that no grants show negative balances. We will undertake this study as part of our overall evaluation of our accounting, monitoring and reporting processes.
2010-03 F£MA Requests for Reimbursement
We will begin to more closely monitor all aspects of our FEMA expenditure and reimbursement request cycle in order to ensure that all expenditures subject to reimbursement are more timely reported to the grantor agency and that the reimbursement requests are timely made.
