Notes to SEFA

Title: Basis of Presentation Accounting Policies: The accounting and financial reporting treatment applied to a fund is determined by its measurement focus. The Governmental Fund types are accounted for using a current financial resources measurement focus. All federal expenditures were accounted for in the General Fund and Special Revenue Funds, components of the Governmental Fund type. 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. No federal financial assistance has been provided to a subrecipient. Federal grants are considered to be earned to the extent of expenditures made under the provisions of the grant. School health and related services revenues (SHARS} are considered earned income at the local government level and thus are not included in the Schedule of Expenditures of Federal Awards. The following is a reconciliation of Federal Revenues on Exhibit C-2 to the Schedule of Expenditures of Federal Awards: Total expenditures of federal awards per Exhibit K-1 General fund - federal revenue $1,057,699 School Health and Related Services (SHARS} 227,337 Total federal revenues per Exhibit C-2 $1,285,036 De Minimis Rate Used: N Rate Explanation: The auditee did not use the de minimis cost rate. The District is not eligible to use the 10 percent de minimis indirect cost rate allowed under the Uniform Guidance because the District has previously received a negotiated indirect cost rate for its federal awards. 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 August 31, 2022. The information in the 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, changes in net position, or cash flows of the District.

Finding Details

Section II - Financial Statement Findings The audit disclosed no findings required to be reported. Section III - Federal Award Findings and Questioned Costs Finding 2022-001 Federal Agency: U.S. Department of Education, passed through Texas Education Agency Program Name: COVID-19 Elementary and Secondary School Emergency Relief (ESSER} Assistance Listing Number: 84.425D, 84.425U Federal Award Number: 21521001051901, 21528001051901 Compliance Requirement: Special Tests and Provisions: Wage Rate Requirements Type of Finding: Material Weakness in Internal Control over Compliance and Material Noncompliance Criteria: The Davis-Bacon and Related Acts apply to contractors and subcontractors performing on federally funded or assisted contracts in excess of $2,000 for the construction, alteration, or repair (including painting and decorating} of public buildings or public works. Davis-Bacon Act and Related Act contractors and subcontractors must pay their laborers and mechanics employed under the contract no less than the locally prevailing wages and fringe benefits for corresponding work on similar projects in the area. Condition: The District entered into an HVAC replacement project and roof repair project with federal funds, but did not monitor contractor and subcontractor payroll to ensure prevailing wage rates were paid. Cause: The District had no policy in place to require regular monitoring of contractor and subcontractor payroll for federally-funded construction and renovation projects. Such projects are normally funded out of state and local revenues. Effect: Contractors and subcontractors working on these projects may have been paid less than the local prevailing wage rates. Questioned Costs: None reported. Context/Sampling: Sampling was not performed. The District did not comply with this requirement at any time during the year under audit. Repeat Finding from Prior Year(s}: No Recommendation: We recommend that the District update its operating policies to require review of contractor and subcontractor payroll for all federally-funded projects. Views of Responsible Officials: Management agrees with the finding. See Corrective Action Plan.
