Ms. Kristin Walker
Deputy State Budget Director
Office of State Budget and Management
430 N. Salisbury Street
Raleigh, NC 27603
Ms. Walker:
Thank you for bringing to our attention the account codes used to purchase devices in FY 2018-19
and the requirements associated with those codes. In the future, any technology purchased on behalf
of local education agencies will be coded to an appropriate 536xxx account rather than to 534534.
We are informing the local schools that the devices being provided from last year’s purchase remain
State property on loan to them for disaster recovery or innovative pilot programs. While the value of
each device falls below our inventoried computer fixed asset threshold of $500, we are providing
districts with NC DPI property tags to affix to these items and will require that districts report on
them annually.
Sincerely,
Barbara Roper
Chief Financial Officer
