and type of meals served and in user charges as reported to the US Department of Agriculture. Federal

reimbursable expenditures made in compliance with the program guidelines to the grantor agencies.
The programs are governed by various rules and regulations of the grantors. Amounts received and
receivable under these various funding programs are subject to periodic audit and adjustment by the
funding agencies. To the extent, if any, that the District has not complied with all the rules and
regulations with respect to performance, financial or otherwise, adjustment to or return of funding
