Notes to SEFA
The District, for purposes of the Schedule of Expenditures of Federal Awards, includes all funds for which the District is financially accountable and includes the funds for which ESU 18 is financially accountable.
The District receives certain federal awards in the form of pass-through awards from the State of Nebraska and other various agencies. Such amounts received as pass-through awards are specifically identified on the Schedule of Expenditures of Federal Awards.
The National School Lunch Program involves both cash and non-cash awards to the District. Such non-cash awards consist of donated commodities, which are separately identified, in the Schedule of Expenditures of Federal Awards. Donated commodity expenditures are determined on a first-in, first-out basis.
The District receives funds under various federal grant programs and such assistance is to be expended in accordance with the provisions of the various grants. Compliance with the grants is subject to audit by various government agencies, which may impose sanctions in the event of non-compliance. Management believes that they have complied with all aspects of the various grant provisions and the results of adjustments, if any, relating to such audits would not have any material financial impact.
The SEFA includes expenditures under the Emergency Connectivity Fund (ECF) program that were incurred in a prior fiscal period but approved and reimbursed during the current reporting year. These costs were originally incurred to support eligible remote learning activities during the COVID-19 response period but were not previously reported due to the timing of the ECF application review and funding approval process. The total amount of prior period expenditures included in this SEFA under the ECF program (Assistance Listing Number 32.009) is $1,994,700.
