Division charges for field trips, please see https://achieve.lausd.net/Page/17177.

Schools will not be able to submit “Expenditure Transfer Requests” for transactions involving bus trips that are processed via transportation job cost unit. This means that the FSEP Office cannot process a request from a school to reverse the charges of a Transportation Services Division bus from general fund to Title I funds. 65. Curricular Trips with Travel/P-Card: Schools will be able to use their Travel Card (if they have applied for one) to pay for Title I allowed curricular trips with the appropriate documentation attached. Per Procurement Manual, 9 th Edition, if a school does not have a Travel Card, a P-Card may only be used if a school has obtained prior approval from the P-Card Unit. Equipment and Technology 66. Capitalized Equipment - Single Equipment Item costing $5,000 or more (Restricted Item): Purchase, lease, or rental of a single equipment item costing over $5,000 requires central-office approval. Since federal law states that Capitalized Equipment purchased with Title I funds requires prior written approval from the California Department of Education (CDE), schools should contact their Regional Title I Coordinators regarding additional required forms and procedures that need to be completed along with the Budget Adjustment Request. Schools must enter the budgeted amount into the manual Budget Adjustment Request form, attach the appropriate required documentation (vendor’s quote and CDE form) and submit to the Region for approval. Once Regional reviewers have approved the request, the Region will forward the manual Budget Adjustment Request form with the vendor’s quote to the FSEP office. Once FSEP receives the approval from CDE, the Regional Title I Coordinator will inform the school that the capitalized equipment request was approved and the school can proceed to finalize the process with their fiscal specialist. 67. Categorical Equipment Inventory (CEI): Equipment inventories must be completed for all categorically funded equipment costing $500 or more. The historical inventory must be kept on file at school sites and offices. The equipment inventory must be sent electronically to FSEP. Prior to approval of any shopping cart for equipment (Capitalized, Non Capitalized and General Supplies- Technology), the school’s CEI will be reviewed again by FSEP.
