Notes to SEFA

Accounting Policies: Expenditures reported on the schedule are reported 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 represent adjustments or credits made in the normal course of business to amounts reported as expenditures in prior years. De Minimis Rate Used: N Rate Explanation: The entity has elected to not use the ten percent de minimus indirect cost rate as allowed under Uniform Guidance, due to the fact that it already has a negotiated indirect cost rate with the Oregon Department of Education, and thus is not allowed to use the de minimus rate.

Finding Details

SA-2022-1 ? SIGNIFICANT DEFICIENCY - 84.425 Education Stabilization Fund (ESSER), ESSER requires that for minor remodeling, renovation or construction contracts that are over $2,000 and use laborers and mechanics must meet Davis-Bacon prevailing wage requirements. The District did not get certified payrolls for many contractors within the ESSER grant. The reason for this is that the ESSER requirements are new and a lot of entities did not know the limit for certified payrolls was lowered to $2,000. The effect is it?s possible that some contractors did not pay prevailing wage. We recommend that the District put in place a system where invoices for contractors are not paid until they receive certified payrolls, or some sort of system that ensures compliance.
