Notes to SEFA

The accompanying Schedule of Expenditures of Federal Awards (the Schedule) includes the federal award activity of the District under programs of the federal government for the year ended June 30, 2025. The information in this Schedule is presented in accordance with 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 Uniform Guidance requires a schedule that provides total federal awards expended for each federal program and the Catalog of Federal Domestic Assistance (CFDA) number or other identifying number when the CFDA information is not available.
The Schedule includes all federal awards administered by Marshall Public Schools, Missouri.
OMB Compliance Supplement includes these definitions, which govern the contents of the Schedule:
Federal financial assistance means assistance that non-Federal entities receive or administer in the form of grants, loans, loan guarantees, property (including donated surplus property), cooperative agreements, interest subsidies, insurance, food, commodities, direct appropriations, and other assistance, but does not include amounts received as reimbursement for services rendered to individuals.
Federal award means Federal financial assistance and Federal cost-reimbursement contracts that non-Federal entities receive directly from Federal awarding agencies or indirectly from pass-through entities. It does not include procurement contracts, under-grants or contracts, used to buy goods or services from vendors.
Accordingly, the Schedule includes expenditures of both cash and noncash awards.
Expenditures reported on the Schedule are reported on the modified cash basis of accounting, which is described in Note 1 to the District’s basic financial statements.
The District has elected not to use the 10% de minimis indirect cost rate as allowed under the Uniform Guidance.
Commodities received were valued by the food service section of the Department of Elementary and Secondary Education.
Subrecipients - The District provided no federal awards to subrecipients during the year ended June 30, 2025.

Finding Details

2025-001 Child Nutrition Cluster - CFDA No. 10.553, 10.555 Grant No. 097-129 Condition: Marshall Public Schools must operate the food service program on a non-profit basis. The District’s ending food service balance exceeded three months average expenses by $256,202. Criteria: The child nutrition cluster compliance guidelines N.3 states that a school must operate the food service accounts on a non-profit basis. This indicates that no more than three months operating expenses may be maintained by the District to be considered non-profit. Effect: The District maintains funds in its food service accounts that exceed the amounts as allowed in the child nutrition guidelines. Questioned Costs: $256,202 based on the amounts in the fund balance of $735,015 above the three months operating costs of $478,813. Cause: Covid meal reimbursements exceeded the amounts that are normally received. Recommendation:We recommend that fund balances should be monitored to ensure that balances remain in line with child nutrition compliance requirements.
