Title: Assistance Listing Numbers Accounting Policies: The accompanying Schedule of Expenditures of Federal Awards (Schedule) includes the federal grant activity of Vail Unified School District No. 20 under programs of the federal government for the year ended  June  30,  2024.  The  information  in  the  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 District, it is not intended to and does not present the financial position, changes in net position or cash flows of the District.  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. Any negative amounts 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. De Minimis Rate Used: N Rate Explanation: The auditee did not use the de minimis indirect cost rate. The program titles and Assistance Listing numbers were obtained from the federal or pass‐through grantor or through sam.gov. If the three‐digit Assistance Listing extension is unknown, there is a U followed by a two‐digit number in the Assistance Listing extension to identify one or more Federal award lines from that program. The first Federal program with an unknown three‐digit extension is indicated with U01 for all award lines associated with that program, the second is U02, etc.

Finding Details

Finding Number: 2024‐001 Repeat Finding: No Program Name/Assistance Listing Title: Impact Aid Assistance Listing Number: 84.041 Federal Agency: Department of Education Federal Award Number: N/A Pass‐Through Agency: N/A Questioned Costs: N/A Type of Finding: Noncompliance, Significant Deficiency Compliance Requirement: Special Tests and Provisions Criteria According to Federal guidelines, §7007 construction funds, as well as any §7002 or §7003(b) funds expended for construction or minor remodeling, are subject to Wage Rate Requirements (20 USC 1232b).  All  laborers  and  mechanics  employed  by  contractors  or  subcontractors  to  work  on  construction contracts in excess of $2,000 financed by federal assistance funds must be paid wages not  less  than  those  established  for  the  locality  of  the  project  (prevailing  wage  rates)  by  the  Department of Labor (DOL) (40 USC 3141–3144, 3146, and 3147). Condition Certified payroll from the contractor or subcontractor was not submitted or reviewed for contracts in excess of $2,000 financed by Impact Aid funds. Cause The  District  was  unaware  that  Impact  Aid  construction  expenditures  were  subject  to  wage  rate  requirements. Effect The District could not demonstrate that prevailing wage rates were paid on all applicable projects during the year. Context For four Impact Aid funded projects, the District did not obtain or review contractor or subcontractor certified payroll. The sample was not intended to be, and was not, a statistically valid sample. Recommendation The District should review all federally‐funded projects and determine which are subject to prevailing wage  rate  requirements.  When  applicable,  the  District  should  obtain  certified  payroll  from  contractors and subcontractors to determine that prevailing wage rate requirements are met.
