individual grants which were active during the fiscal year. Additionally, the Schedule reflects expenditures for
certain state grants.
(2) BASIS OF ACCOUNTING
The District uses the modified accrual method of recording transactions except as noted for the accounting of
donated commodities in Note 3. Revenues are recorded when measurable and available. Expenditures are
recorded when incurred.
(3) NONMONETARY FEDERAL AWARDS – DONATED FOOD
The Commonwealth of Pennsylvania distributes federal surplus food to institutions (schools, hospitals and
prisons) and to the needy. Expenditures reported in the Schedule of Expenditures of Federal Awards and
Certain State Grants under Assistance Listing #10.555 National School Lunch Program and passed through
the Pennsylvania Department of Agriculture represent federal surplus food consumed by the District during the
2022-2023 fiscal year.
