Notes to SEFA
The accompanying schedule of expenditures of federal awards (the Schedule) includes the federal award activity of Unified School District No. 373, Newton, Kansas (District) under programs of the federal government for the year ended June 30, 2024. 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 of the District. The Schedule is presented using a regulatory basis of accounting prescribed by the Kansas Municipal Audit and Accounting Guide (as described in Note 1 to the financial statement), which is the same basis of accounting as the financial statement accompanying this schedule.
Expenditures reported on the Schedule are reported on the regulatory basis of accounting described in Note 1 to the District’s financial statement. 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.
The District has not elected to use the 10 percent de minimis indirect cost rate (10 percent prior to October 1, 2024) as allowed under the Uniform Guidance.
The non-federal entity follows guidance provided by the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) and FEMA for reporting Disaster Grants – Public Assistance (Assistance Listing Number 97.036) on the SEFA. Expenditures are recorded in the fiscal year that FEMA formally approves the project (i.e., when the project application/award worksheet is obligated), as this is when funds are considered obligated by the federal government. For the fiscal year ended June 30, 2025, the amount of $18,750 reported on the SEFA for ALN 97.036 includes $18,750 in eligible expenditures that were incurred by the non-Federal entity in a prior fiscal year, but formally approved and obligated by FEMA in the current reporting year.
