Notes to SEFA

Basis of Presentation The accompanying Schedule of Expenditures of Federal Awards (the schedule) includes the federal award activity of the Bishop Unified School District (the District) under programs of the federal government for the year ended June 30, 2025. The information 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, fund balance, or cash flows of the District. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies Expenditures reported in the schedule are reported on the modified accrual basis of accounting. When applicable, 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. No federal financial assistance has been provided to a subrecipient. Indirect Cost Rate The District has not elected to use the ten percent de minimis cost rate. Food Donation Nonmonetary assistance is reported in this schedule at the fair market value of the commodities received and disbursed. At June 30, 2025, the District did not report any commodities as inventory.

Finding Details

Federal Agency: U.S. Department of Agriculture Pass-Through Entity: California Department of Education Program Name: Child Nutrition Cluster Federal Financial Assistance Listing: 10,553, 10.555 Award Year: 2024-2025 Fiscal Year Compliance Requirement: Procurement, Suspension and Debarment Type of Finding: Significant Deficiency and Non-Compliance Criteria Title 2, Code of Federal Regulations (CFR), Part 200, Subpart D, Section 200.318(a) requires recipients and subrecipients of Federal awards to maintain and use documented procurement procedures that conform to standards identified in Title 2, CFR, Part 200, Subpart D, Section 200.318. This includes the retention of all procurement related documents in connection with federal awards. Condition The District was unable to provide procurement documents, including copies of bid documents and contracts for a sampled covered transaction. Cause The condition appears to have materialized due to the District not adhering to its federal procurement policy. Effect The District did not comply with general procurement standards required by Title 2, CFR Section 200.318(a), and the District policy. Questioned Costs There were no questioned costs identified related to the condition identified above. Context/Sampling Total population of 4 transactions were identified and 3 samples were selected haphazardly. Tested resulted in a 100% exception rate which resulted in the remaining 1 transaction from the population being selected for testing. Additional testing of the remaining 1 transaction also resulted in an exception. Repeat Finding No. Recommendation The District should ensure that all federal procurement transactions are aligned with its procurement policy. As required under the District’s procurement policy, the District should retain all procurement related documents.
