Mobile Device Losses & Damages
Miami-Dade County Public Schools
Based on the Manual of Internal Fund Accounting, schools should use the following funding structure to collect funds for damaged/lost mobile devices (specifically listed as tablets in the manual):
- Program: 50040000 (Trust Program)
- Function: 055204 (Tablet Repair)
Key Procedures:
- Receipts: Individual receipts must be prepared for these collections.
- End-of-Year Transmittal: At the end of the school year, the school treasurer must complete a Treasury Transmittal to the M-DCPS Vendor in eSAS to zero out the account.
Prior to assessing an obligation, schools should verify if the student does not have a Break/Fix plan record associated with their device distribution, as these accounts are subject to the terms of the Device Break/Fix plan.
