Summary

Pursuant to State Board of Education Rule 6A-1.0453(5), Florida Administrative Code, the Hillsborough County District School Board requested an informal conference with the Department of Education (DOE) to discuss seven teachers cited in finding No. 180, which was presented in report No. 2005-018, issued August 11, 2004, for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2003. The informal conference was held on May 11, 2009.

The resulting informal conference panel’s memorandum of May 28, 2009, recommended the restoration of the audit adjustments for six of the seven teachers cited in finding No. 180.

The panel’s recommendations were accepted by the Commissioner of Education, as evidenced by letter dated June 2, 2009.
 

The FTE audit adjustments restored pursuant to the panel’s recommendations totaled to zero unweighted FTE, but have a potential impact on weighted FTE of a positive 210.0872 FTE. The financial impact of the restored audit adjustments is subject to the determination of the Department of Education.

The Superintendent's written response to the audit findings is included in the audit report.
