Public Content P.L. 81-874 requires that School Board minutes reflect the authorized representative as part of the application process each year. Historically, the Superintendent has been designated the authorized representative to sign the application on behalf of the School Board of Okaloosa County. The application process has essentially consisted of a hard copy application signed by the Superintendent. The request to name the Superintendent as the authorized representative for fiscal year 2019-2020 was submitted and approved by the School Board at the September 9, 2019 meeting. All Local Educational Agencies (LEAs) who are eligible to receive Impact Aid funds were recently notified regarding significant changes to the application process. The change is a transition from a manual signatory system to an electronic signatory system. In order to comply with the new requirement the School Board is required to establish a "Core User Account." The"Core User" must be an employee of the School District with the authority to sign the Impact Aid application. The appointed "Core User" will have the authority to create and manage two other users who will enter the District's detailed impact aid data into the system. The designated "Core User", with signature authority, is required to log into the system to electronically sign the finalized application. In light of the time required to complete this process, it is recommended the School Board approve the Chief Financial Officer as the authorized representative with signature authority to file the Impact Aid application for fiscal year 2019-2020.
