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 June 30, 2022. 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, changes in net position or cash flows of the district. De Minimis Rate Used: N Rate Explanation: The auditee did not use the de minimis cost rate. Expenditures reported on the Schedule are reported on the modified accrual basis of accounting. Such expenditures are recognized following the cost principles contained in Title 2 U.S. Code of Federal Regulations Part 200, Uniform Administrative Requirements, Cost Principles, and Audit Requirements for Federal Awards, 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 allowed under the Uniform Guidance.

De Minimis Rate Used: N Rate Explanation: The auditee did not use the de minimis cost rate. The district receives food commodities from the U.S. Department of Agriculture for use in its food service program. The commodities are recognized as revenue when received and are recorded at fair value at the time of receipt. The commodities are recognized as expenditures when used by schools. The majority of the commodities are stored at the individual schools instead of a central warehouse. As such, the district has determined that the title to the commodities passes to the district upon receipt of the commodities. Since the district has received title to the commodities, the unused commodities are not reflected as unearned revenue. The commodities are reported under the National School Lunch Program (Assistance Listing Number 10.555) on the Schedule. The district recognized noncash awards of $1,352,589 for the year ended June 30, 2022.

Finding Details

2022-001 Finding: Reporting Federal Assistance Listing Number 84.425E - Higher Education Emergency Relief Fund (HEERF) Student Aid Portion Department of Education Award Number ? P425E205475 Award Year ? 2021-2022 Criteria: The Coronavirus Aid, Relief, and Economic Security Act (CARES Act) was signed into law on March 27, 2020 and appropriated federal funds to provide economic aid to the American people negatively impacted by the COVID-19 pandemic. The Coronavirus Response and Relief Supplemental Appropriations Act, 2021 (CRRSAA), was signed into law on December 27, 2020, and authorized additional funding under the HEERF program (HEERF II). Finally, the American Rescue Plan Act of 2021 (ARP), enacted on March 11, 2021, authorized a third round of funding (HEERF III) in order for higher education institutions to serve students and ensure learning continues during the COVID-19 pandemic. Under the requirements of the HEERF program there are three components to reporting: (1) public reporting on the Student Aid Portion; (2) public reporting on the Institutional Portion, and (3) the annual report. Condition: The District had not posted the required Student Aid information for the third quarter, which was required to be posted publicly to the District's website during the fiscal year ending June 30, 2022. Questioned Costs: None noted. Context: Four quarterly Student Aid reports for fiscal year 2022 were to be posted on the District's website by the federal due dates to comply with federal regulations. The third quarter report was not posted. Effect: Federal oversight agencies, including the Department of Education, depend on accurate reports posted to the institution's website to measure program results and compliance with federal requirements and to provide transparency. The District is not in compliance with the requirements of the award. Cause: There was confusion surrounding the required reporting. The institutional reporting continued as required. A new form was provided by the federal government to be completed and made publicly available but it only included institutional information thereby causing the student information to be inadvertently excluded. Recommendation: We recommend that the District take immediate action to post the missing report to the website, obtain clarification for any confusing, ambiguous or complex compliance requirements, and stay diligent in staying abreast of the specific reporting requirements. Views of Responsible Officials: We agree with the finding. See separate report for planned corrective actions.
