Notes to SEFA

Accounting Policies: The purpose of the schedule of expenditures of federal awards (the Schedule) is to present a summary of those activities of St. David Unified School District No. 21 (the School) that have been financed by the U.S. government (federal awards). Federal awards received directly from federal agencies are included in the Schedule. Additionally, all federal awards passed through from other entities have been included in the Schedule. The School is required to match certain grant agreements, as defined in the grants, and these matching amounts are not included in the Schedule. The information in the Schedule is presented in accordance with requirements of Title 2CFR 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, it is not intended to and does not present the financial position or changes in fund balance or net position of St. David Unified School District No. 21. Expenditures reported on the Schedule are reported on the modified accrual basis of accounting. Such expenditures are recognized following the cost principles contained in the Uniform Guidance for all awards. Under these principles, certain types of expenditures are not allowable or are limited as to reimbursement. Commodities are valued at fair value as provided by the U.S. Department of Agriculture. De Minimis Rate Used: N Rate Explanation: The auditee did not use the de minimis cost rate.
