Meeting : Mar 11, 2019 - Regular Meeting Type : Action Recommended Action : Motion to approve the Superintendent's recommendation that the Best and Brightest Scholarship program funds not be paid to any classification of Pre-K Teachers. Public Content Based upon an Auditor General Audit Finding for fiscal year-end June 30, 2018, that Pre-K Teachers did not meet the statutory definition of a "classroom teacher “. Further, the Attorney General required Pre-K Teachers who received funding to refund the money. The recommendation is that the Best and Brightest Scholarship program funds not be paid to any classification of Pre-K Teachers. Information from the Auditor General's report is below. Finding 6: The District disbursed Florida Best and Brightest Teacher Scholarship Program awards totaling $31,200 to 22 prekindergarten teachers who did not meet the statutory definition of a “classroom teacher” and, therefore, were ineligible for the awards. Recommendation: The District should enhance procedures to ensure that scholarships are only awarded to eligible recipients who meet the classroom teacher statutory definition. In addition, the District should refund the FDOE for the awards totaling $31,200 paid to ineligible scholarship recipients and take appropriate actions to recover from those recipients the improper payments.
