Findings & Recommendations
7 findings
F1:
No documented operating procedures currently exist.
F2:
The Lab personnel and the Lab are not certified individually or accredited as a Hi-Tech Forensic Lab.
F3:
Software updates are not occurring automatically due to the SBCSD secure firewall; updates must be uploaded manually.
F4:
Some items purchased for $500 or more have a barcoded asset tag but no barcode reader is available. 27 2013-2014 San Bernardino County Grand Jury Final Report
F5:
Previously approximately 75% of supplies and equipment was processed through the district warehouse and by April 10, 2014 approximately 99% was being processed through the district warehouse. Special orders that contain equipment valued at $500 or more are sometimes sent directly to the school site instead of the warehouse.
F6:
Some equipment valued at $500 or more was delivered to the construction site of the Adelanto High School and not received initially at the district warehouse. Non-district personnel (i.e. construction workers) were asked to sign for the shipments since no District employee was on site to expedite the delivery. District employees were not always informed of the receipt of equipment and had to travel to the construction site to asset tag items valued at $500 or more. Some pieces of equipment were then transferred to the former Goodwill campus which was serving as a temporary site for the Adelanto High School causing delays and lack of security for valuable items. Some equipment seen at the yet-to-be opened Adelanto High School did not have asset tags as of the Grand Jury visit on April 17, 2014.
F7:
As noted on the declarations of surplus equipment, some of the items disposed of during the last three years had asset tag numbers and others did not. No estimated value was noted on any of the three approvals for disposal (see attachments A, B, C). The VVUHSD School Board took action on all three requests but the method for disposal of the five (5) available methods was not noted in the requests.
