Lake Havasu USD

Lake Havasu Unified School District

Lake Havasu USD’s administrative costs were slightly higher than comparable districts’, and its transportation costs per rider were substantially higher. However, plant operation and maintenance costs were 11 percent lower, and the District’s percentage of dollars spent in the classroom was above the state average. The District’s Proposition 301 plan was incomplete, and it spent a portion of the monies inappropriately. Lake Havasu USD has adjusted its English Language Learner’s program but needs to continue modifications to comply with the state model.

Pinal/Gila Long Term Care—Conflict of Interest and Mishandling of Public Monies

Pinal/Gila Long Term Care—Conflict of Interest and Mishandling of Public Monies

In December 2005, two Pinal/Gila Long Term Care employees violated conflict-of-interest laws by unlawfully accepting a cash payment for providing consulting services to a county vendor. In addition, one of the employees mishandled public monies by inappropriately instigating two rate increases to the same county vendor’s contracted rates, allowing overpayments totaling nearly $34,000. On December 18, 2008, the Pinal County Grand Jury took criminal action against both individuals, which resulted in the indictment of each on one count of conflict of interest.

Toltec ESD

Toltec Elementary School District

Toltec ESD’s administrative costs per pupil were similar to comparable districts’, but the District needs to improve its business practices and internal controls to help reduce the risks of error and to better protect confidential information. The District’s transportation costs per pupil were higher than the comparable districts’ average primarily because the District transports a greater percentage of its student population. Between fiscal years 2004 and 2007, the District used Proposition 301 monies to supplant other monies used for teacher compensation and will need to reimburse the Classroom Site Fund for those amounts.
