The accompanying Schedule of Expenditures of Federal Awards (“the Schedule” or “SEFA”) includes the federal grant activity of Elk Rapids Schools 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 Elk Rapids Schools, it is not intended to and does not present the financial position, changes in net position, or cash flows of Elk Rapids Schools.
The District does not qualify for low-risk auditee status. Management has utilized the NexSys, Cash Management System, and the Grant Auditor Report in preparing the schedule of Expenditures of Federal Awards.
