Notes to SEFA

Title: U.S. DEPARTMENT OF AGRICULTURE PROGRAMS Accounting Policies: The accompanying schedule of expenditures of federal awards is a summary activity of all federal award programs of the Springfield City School District (School District). The information in this Schedule is presented in accordance with the requirements of Title 2 U.S. Code of Federal Regulations Part 200, Uniform Administrative Requirements, Cost Principles, and Audit Requirements for Federal Awards (Uniform Guidance). Because the Schedule presents only a selected portion of the operations of the School District, it is not intended to and does not present the financial position, changes in net position or cash flows of the School District. The accompanying schedule of expenditures of federal awards has been prepared on the cash basis of accounting. Expenditures are recognized following the cost principles contained in Title 2 U.S. Code of Federal Regulations Part 200, Uniform Administrative Requirements, Cost Principles, and Audit Requirements for Federal Awards wherein certain types of expenditures are not allowable or are limited as to reimbursement. In addition, the School District did not pass-through any federal awards to subrecipients during the year ended June 30, 2022. De Minimis Rate Used: N Rate Explanation: The School District has elected not to use the 10 percent de minimus indirect cost rate to recover indirect costs as allowed under the Uniform Guidance. Non-monetary assistance, such as food received from the U.S. Department of Agriculture, is reported on the schedule of expenditures of federal awards at the market value of the commodities received and consumed. Cash receipts from the U.S. Department of Agriculture are commingled with State grants. It is assumed federal monies are expended first.

2022-001 Wage Rate Requirements ? Significant Deficiency and Noncompliance ALN 84.425D ? Elementary and Secondary School Emergency Relief Fund ALN 84.425U ? American Rescue Plan ? Elementary and Secondary School Emergency Relief (ARP ESSER) ALN 84.425W ? American Rescue Plan ? Elementary and Secondary School Emergency Relief ?Homeless Children and Youth Condition and Criteria: In accordance with 29 CFR sections 5.5 and 5.6, contractors and subcontractors are required to submit to the entity, weekly, for each week in which any contract work is performed, a copy of the payroll and a statement of compliance (certified payrolls). During our audit of wage rate requirements, we noted the District?s contract with a certain vendor included the purchase of ionization equipment and labor costs associated with the installation of the equipment did not include a provision to ensure the contactor complied with Federal Prevailing wage rate requirements. Although, the labor portion of the contract was not material to the program, the District could not provide support that weekly certified payroll documents were provided by the contractor. Effect: Failing to receive and review certified payrolls could result in contractors and subcontractors being non-compliant with wage rate requirements. Cause: The District?s contract with this vendor did not include a provision to ensure the contactor complied with Federal Prevailing wage rate requirements. The District lacked procedures to ensure its contractors and subcontractors were submitting weekly certified payrolls for each week work was performed. Recommendation: We recommend the District develop and implement procedures to ensure that, when required by Federal program legislation, all contracts include a provision for compliance with Federal Prevailing wage rate requirements. In addition, we recommend the District implement procedures to ensure tracking of contractor and subcontractor work and subsequent submission of required certified payroll documentation.
