The accompanying schedule of expenditures of federal awards (the Schedule) includes the federal awards activity of the District. The Schedule includes federally funded projects received directly from federal agencies and the federal amount of pass-through awards received by the District through the state of Colorado or other non-federal entities. 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 (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.
The accompanying schedule of federal awards is presented 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 allowed or are limited as to reimbursement. Negative amounts shown on the Schedule, if any, represent adjustments or credits made in the normal course of business to amounts reported as expenditures in prior years.
The District utilizes the indirect cost rate established for it by the Colorado Department of Education, therefore it has not used the de minimis 10 percent indirect cost rate allowed under the Uniform Guidance.
Certain grant programs have not been assigned Federal Assistance Listing Numbers by the federal government, or the numbers are not obtainable. These programs are identified in the Schedule by the federal agency number followed by three zeros (for example, 12.000).
During the year ended June 30, 2025, the District did not pass through any federal funds to subrecipients.
For federal awards expended by the District as a subrecipient, the Schedule includes identification of the pass-through grantor and the identifying number assigned to the grant by the pass-through grantor.
Commodities donated to the District by the U.S Department of Agriculture (USDA) are valued based on the USDA's Donated Commodity Price List. The commodities are recognized as revenue when received. The District takes possession of all inventory, including commodity items when they reach the District’s dock or cold storage facility, and title passes at that time. The majority of commodity items are stored in the district warehouse or off-site cold storage facility. Since the District has received title to the commodities, the unused commodities are not reflected as unearned revenue. The donated commodities are reported under the National School Lunch Program (Federal Assistance Listing Number 10.555) on the Schedule. The District recognized noncash awards of $30,600,357 for the year ended June 30, 2025.
