Notes to SEFA

Title: Basis of Presentation Accounting Policies: See Additional Notes tab for significant policies used in preparing the SEFA De Minimis Rate Used: N Rate Explanation: Use rates set by the MI Department of Educuation, where applicable The accompanying Schedule of Expenditures of Federal Awards (the “Schedule”) includes the federal grant activity of Wexford-Missaukee Intermediate School District under programs of the federal government for the year ended June 30, 2024. 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 (the “Uniform Guidance”). Because the Schedule presents only a selected portion of the operations of Wexford-Missaukee Intermediate School District, it is not intended to and does not present the financial position, changes in net position, or cash flows of Wexford-Missaukee Intermediate School District.
Title: Summary of Significant Accounting Policies Accounting Policies: See Additional Notes tab for significant policies used in preparing the SEFA De Minimis Rate Used: N Rate Explanation: Use rates set by the MI Department of Educuation, where applicable 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, wherein certain types of expenditures are not allowable or are limited as to reimbursement. Negative amounts (if any) shown on the schedule represent adjustments or credits made in the normal course of business to amounts reported as expenditures in prior years. Pass through entity identifying numbers are presented where available. Wexford-Missaukee Intermediate School District has elected to not use the 10 percent de minimis indirect cost rate allowed under the Uniform Guidance.
Title: Adjustments Accounting Policies: See Additional Notes tab for significant policies used in preparing the SEFA De Minimis Rate Used: N Rate Explanation: Use rates set by the MI Department of Educuation, where applicable The beginning unearned revenue for the Medicaid Administrative Outreach program was determined to be the state portion of the Medicaid dollars received. Therefore the adjustment was reported to remove these funds from the Schedule of Expenditures of Federal Awards.

Finding Details

2024-002 U.S. Department of Education Program Title: Special Education Cluster Federal Assistance Listing Number(s): 84.027 Federal Award Number: 230450-2223 Federal Award Period: July 1, 2022 to September 30, 2024 Pass-Through Entity: Michigan Department of Education Type of Compliance: Immaterial Noncompliance Criteria: The District is required to provide, to the extent consistent with the number and location of children with disabilities who are enrolled by their parents in private, including religious, elementary schools, and secondary schools, located in the school district served by the District, for the participation of those children with special education and related services. To meet this requirement, the District must spend funds received under sections 611 and 619 consistent with the formula in 34 CFR 300.133. Condition: As of June 30, 2024, the District had not expended the amount required under Section 611. Cause: This condition was caused by the District’s proportionate share calculation being impacted by a virtual school the District receives funding for and then passes on to the virtual school. Because the total dollars received increases, the total proportionate share has increased dramatically over the past several years. Effect: As a result of this condition, the District has not complied with the U.S. Department of Education’s requirement related to proportionate share. Perspective Information: The District was approximately $17,940 short of meeting the spending requirement for the 2022-2023 grant. The District has received funds for the 2023-2024 grant that have been allocated towards proportionate share, but have not been spent. Recommendations: We recommend that the District continue to devote time and resources towards addressing this issue. We also recommend that the District continue working the appropriate agencies to develop a plan to correct the issue. Views of Responsible Officials: The District has been working with the appropriate agencies to work towards a resolution. The District has been monitoring the calculations and status of this issue very closely and will continue to do so until it has been resolved to the best of the District’s ability.
