Title: Note 1 Accounting Policies: Note 1 Basis of presentation The accompanying schedule of expenditures of Federal awards includes the Federal grant activity of San Marcos Consolidated Independent School District and is presented on the modified accrual basis of accounting. 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). Therefore, some amounts presented in this schedule may differ from amounts presented in, or used in the preparation of, the financial statements. A total of $1,257,669 is included in the schedule of expenditures of federal awards and is recorded in the general fund, of which $1,005,519 is SHARS. Special revenue funds are used to account for resources restricted to, or designated for, specific purposes by the grantor. Federal and state financial assistance generally is accounted for in a special revenue fund. Generally, unused balances are returned to the grantor at the close of specified project periods. The accounting and financial reporting treatment applied to the fund is determined by its measurement focus. The governmental fund types are accounted for using a current financial resource measurement focus. All federal grant funds were accounted for in a special revenue fund, a component of the governmental fund type. With this measurement focus, only current assets and current liabilities generally are included on the balance sheet. Operating statements of these funds present increases (i.e., revenues and other financing sources) and decreases (i.e., expenditures and other financing uses) in fund balances. The modified accrual basis of accounting is used for the governmental fund types. This basis of accounting recognized revenues in the accounting period, in which they become susceptible to accrual, i.e., both measurable and available, and expenditures in the accounting period in which the fund liability is incurred, if measurable, except for unmature interest on long-term debt, which is recognized when due, and certain compensated absences and claims and judgements, which are recognized when the obligations are expected to be liquidated with expendable available financial resources. Note 1 (continued) Federal awards reconciliation Federal grant funds are considered to be earned to the extent of expenditures were made under the provisions of the grant and, accordingly, when such funds are received, they are recorded as deferred revenue until earned.

Costs charged to the respective grant programs are subject to audit and adjustment by the grantor agencies; therefore, to the extent that the District has complied with the rules and regulations governing the grants, if any, refunds or any money received may be required and the collectability of any related receivable at June 30, 2023, may be impaired. In the opinion of the District, there are no significant contingent liabilities relating to compliance with the rules and regulations governing the respective grants; therefore, no provisions have been recorded in the accompanying financial statements for such contingencies.
