Title: Note 1 - Basis of Presentation Accounting Policies: Expenditures reported on the Schedule are reported on the accrual basis of accounting. Such expenditures are recognized following the cost principles contained in Uniform Guidance wherein certain types of expenditures may or may not be allowable or may be limited as to reimbursement. De Minimis Rate Used: N Rate Explanation: The Board has elected not to use the 10-percent de minimis indirect cost rate as allowed under the Uniform Guidance. The accompanying schedule of expenditures of federal awards includes the federal grant activity of the Board and is presented on the basis of accounting prescribed by the West Virginia Department of Education, which is a comprehensive basis of accounting other than accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. The information on this Schedule is prepared 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). Therefore, some amounts presented in this schedule may differ from amounts presented in, or used in preparation of the financial statements. The Board has elected not to use the 10-percent de minimis indirect cost rate as allowed under the Uniform Guidance.

De Minimis Rate Used: N Rate Explanation: The Board has elected not to use the 10-percent de minimis indirect cost rate as allowed under the Uniform Guidance. Child Nutrition Cluster expenditures of federal awards are based on the amount of federal funding received for each of the programs. Since the amount of total expenditures for the programs exceeds the amount of the federal awards received, it is presumed that the total received from the federal awards has been expended. The amount of expenditures funded by meal sales, sponsor’s contributions and state matching funds for the programs has not been included in the Schedule of Expenditures of Federal Awards

Significant Deficiency Equipment And Real Property Management - ESSER Grant Title: COVID-19 American Rescue Plan Elementary and Secondary School Emergency Relief Fund - Education Stabilization Fund (ESSER) Federal Award Number and Year: 2023 Assistance Listing #: 84.425D and 84.425U Federal Agency: US Department of Education Pass-through Entity number 52160 Pass-through Agency: WV Department of Education The Monroe County Board of Education (the "Board") did not follow the federal requirements for equipment and real property management under the COVID-19 American Rescue Plan ESSER program. The Board maintained photographic evidence of the inventoried items but failed to maintain a detailed listing of the equipment and real property, as required by federal regulations. During the audit period, the Board was responsible for managing equipment and real property acquired under the COVID-19 American Rescue Plan ESSER program. However, the documentation reviewed during the audit revealed that the Board had not maintained a formal inventory listing. Instead, the Board relied on photographic records and a project manual to document the existence and condition of the equipment and real property, which is not sufficient to meet the federal requirements. In accordance with 2 CFR § 200.313(d), non-Federal entities must maintain accurate records for equipment acquired with federal funds, including a detailed listing that identifies each item, its location, its condition, and other pertinent details. This listing must be updated as needed and must be verified by a physical inventory at least once every two years. The noncompliance appears to have been by a lack of awareness or understanding of the specific federal requirements for maintaining a detailed inventory listing for equipment and real property. The Board relied on photographic records without recognizing the necessity of a formal, detailed listing as mandated by federal regulations. Failure to maintain a detailed inventory listing as required by federal regulations increases the risk of mismanagement or loss of equipment and real property and could impact the Board's ability to receive future federal funding. We recommend that the Board establish and maintain a detailed inventory listing for all equipment and real property acquired with federal funds. This listing should include all information required by federal regulations and should be verified through a physical inventory at least once every two years. Additionally, the Board should provide training to staff responsible for equipment and real property management to ensure compliance with federal requirements
