Louisiana Administrative Code › Title 28 - EDUCATION › Part XLI - Bulletin 1929-Louisiana Accounting and Uniform Governmental Handbook › Chapter 9 - Classification of Expenditures and Other Uses of Funds › Section XLI-903 - Function Codes

Current through Register Vol. 50, No. 6, June 20, 2024
A. Function codes
				necessary for reporting to the National Center for Education Statistics are
				marked with an asterisk.
B. The
				function describes the activity for which a service or material object is
				acquired. The functions of an LEA are classified into five broad areas:
				Instruction, Support Services, Operation of Non-Instructional Services,
				Facilities Acquisition and Construction, and Debt Service/Other Outlays.
				Functions are further broken down into subfunctions and areas of
				responsibility.
C. 1000*
				Instruction-activities dealing directly with the interaction between teachers
				and students. Teaching may be provided for students in a school classroom, in
				another location such as a home or hospital, and in other learning situations
				such as those involving co-curricular activities. It may also be provided
				through some other approved medium such as television, radio, computer,
				internet, multimedia telephone and correspondence, that is delivered inside or
				outside the classroom or in other teacher-student settings. Included here are
				the activities of aides or classroom assistants of any type (clerks, graders,
				teaching machines, etc.) who assist in the instructional process. If proration
				of expenditures is not possible for department chairpersons who also teach,
				include department chairpersons who also teach in instruction. Full-time
				department chairperson's expenditures should be included only in function 2490.
				Functions and subfunctions must be used with the appropriate fund type to
				properly identify the expenditure activity.
1.
				1100 Regular Programs, Elementary and Secondary-activities that provide
				students in grades K-12 with learning experiences to prepare them for
				activities as citizens, family members, and non career and technical workers.
a. 1105 Kindergarten-the activities
				associated with children for the year immediately preceding the first grade.
				(Pre-kindergarten programs should be include in function 1530.)
b. 1110 Elementary-the activities associated
				with children from first grade through and including the eighth
				grade.
c. 1130 Secondary-the
				activities associated with children from the ninth grade through and including
				the twelfth grade.
Louisiana Administrative Code › Title 28 - EDUCATION › Part XLI - Bulletin 1929-Louisiana Accounting and Uniform Governmental Handbook › Chapter 11 - Classification of Balance Sheet Accounts › Section XLI-1107 - Definition-Supplies vs. Equipment

Current through Register Vol. 50, No. 6, June 20, 2024
A. An LEA
				can take two basic approaches to distinguish between supplies and equipment in
				the decision making situations: adopt a predetermined list of items,
				classifying each entry as either a supply or an item of equipment, or adopt a
				set of criteria to be used in making its own classification of supply and
				equipment items.
1. List of Items-At one time,
				the Federal Accounting Handbook contained lists of both supplies and equipment.
				Such lists can never be comprehensive or exhaustive, and quickly become
				outdated.
2. Set of Criteria-An
				item must be considered a supply if it does not meet all the stated equipment
				criteria listed below.
a. It can be expected
				to serve its principal purpose for at least one year.
b. It is nonexpendable; that is, if damaged
				or worn out, it can be repaired without being replaced.
c. It does not lose its identity through
				fabrication or incorporation into a different or more complex unit.
d. It is equal to or greater than $5,000 per
				unit cost in value. (The increase of the property threshold amount to $5,000
				was advertised in the
Louisiana Register
and adopted as rule
				in the April 20, 2008 issue.)
NOTE: The unit cost of $5,000 does not apply to any program
				  funded with 8g monies.
3. Food is always considered a supply.
				Software costs that are below the district's capitalization threshold should be
				coded to supplies. Expenditures for software that exceed the district's
				capitalization threshold should be coded to equipment.
