1. Title I Categorical Equipment Requirements
New Coordinator’s Meeting
August 2017
Intro myself, positon

2. Objective To develop a clear understanding of the topics stated below;
Introduction to the year end Categorical Equipment Inventory (CEI)
Completing a Physical Check
Identifying items to be “Red Tagged”
Completing Disposal of Equipment (DOE) forms
Submitting the CEI and DOE
Read aloud, let them know that this is only an introduction. Will go into more depth later.

3. Sample Categorical Equipment Inventory
Ask how many have seen this document before? The CEI is a historical document that contains equipment (technology) purchased with categorical funds (explain categorical). For the purpose of simplifying the presentation, we will focus on Title I.
There are 4 parts. Discuss each part.
Items in green must be updated, Section II only if equipment was not purchased and listed in Section III
Note the disposition for the items in yellow and blue
Discuss the responsibility for maintaining this form

4. Physical Check of Equipment
A physical check must be conducted at least once every two years
The results of the inventory check must be reconciled with the inventory records
The school site must identify staff to conduct the physical check
Ongoing
You can assign a tech or an aide to help, but ultimately the Title I Coordinator and the Principal will be held responsible.

5. Red Equipment Labels
All categorically-funded equipment costing $500 or more must be labeled
Recommendation: Label “small & attractive” items costing less than $500
Labels can be obtained from FSEP or LD Title I Coordinators
Labels should be firmly affixed to each item when received and include the following:
Funding Source
School Name
Purchase/Delivery Date
Serial Number

6. Disposal of Equipment Salvaged Stolen Unusable
Disposal of Equipment Form
must be completed
if Disposition Status is:
Salvaged
Stolen
Unusable
Make sure to enter Police Report number or Salvage Date in the “Reason for Removal” column
Must have the principal’s signature
Discuss where to find this, make the connection between the items listed here and on the CEI.

7. Submitting your CEI FSEP@lausd.net
the spreadsheet (Attachment B) in excel format to Federal and State Education Programs (FSEP) after all equipment has been received for the current school year;
Subject line:
School Name_CEI_
Please put the name of your school

8. Final Thoughts Contact FSEP for a copy of your CEI.
Determine whether a physical check will be needed for this year.
If it was not completed last year, complete the Categorical Equipment Inventory by adding all new purchases to last year’s CEI.
Label all equipment purchased with Categorical funds valued at $500 or more.
Complete a Disposal of Equipment (DOE) form if applicable. See Bul for guidance in disposal of equipment.
