  18. PAYMENTS FOR SERVICE • Transit of Aids (310, 510) • Examples - • Another entity provides special education services for a resident student either on a tuition basis or as the fiscal agent for a cooperative program. Your district pays them for the service. They file for the aid which is received in the subsequent year. They transit to you the portion of the aid associated with the cost you reimbursed them for. • Your District is being reimbursed by another entity for cost you incurred that are part of a cooperative or packaged program with another school district, CESA or CCDEB. The other entity is claiming those costs on a state or federal grant and using the funds received on the grant to reimburse your district.

  19. PAYMENTS FOR SERVICE • Payments for Services (340, 440, 540) • Examples – • Open Enrollment – Charges to other school districts for instructional services your district provided to pupils participating in the open enrollment program (340) • Revenue from a CESA for instructional services your district provided to pupils (540)

PAYMENTS FOR SERVICE • Payments for Services (340, 440, 540) • Examples • Cooperative Programs • Multi-District projects with COOP agreement • One District acts as fiscal agent • Fiscal agent maintains revenue and expenditure records • Cost is prorated to participating districts • Revenues cover expenditures • Fiscal agent reports the payment by the participating districts as a payment for services (source 340)

  21. COOP TRANSACTION REPORTING • Special Education COOP • Fiscal agent and participating districts account for activity in fund 27 • Other types of COOP agreements • Fiscal agent accounts for activity in fund 99 • Operating transfer from fund 10 is made for the fiscal agent’s portion of the cost • Participating districts account for their payment to fiscal agent in the appropriate fund of the activity which is most often the general fund

  24. STATE AND FEDERAL AID • ENTITLEMENTS • MOST BIG $ PROGRAMS • GENERAL AID, SPECIAL EDUCATION,TRANSPORTATION, SAGE • REVENUE WHEN $ APPROPRIATED • REIMBURSABLE GRANTS • “GRANT” PROGRAMS • CLAIMED ON PI 1086, SOURCE 630/730 • REVENUE WHEN REIMBURSABLE EXPENDITURE OCCURS

  25. SOURCE 600REVENUE FROM STATE SOURCES 610 – State Aid – Categorical 620 – State Aid – General 630 – State special Project Grants 640 – State Tuition Payments 650 – State “SAGE” Aid 660 – State Revenue Through Local Governments 690 – Other Revenue from State Sources

  26. STATE SPECIAL EDUCATION CATEGORICAL AID • Many different types of special education programs • PROGRAM OPERATED BY THE DISTRICT (DISTRICT EMPLOYS PERSONNEL) • PROGRAM OPERATED WITH A CONSORTIUM OF SCHOOLS • PROGRAM OPERATED BY CESA • PROGRAM OPERATED BY CCDEB • Costs funded by a combination of state, local and federal dollars

  27. Fund 27 • Fund 27 is where all revenues related to special ed are recorded. • Fund 27 acts like a “sub fund” to Fund 10 (general operations). • Fund 10 must always make a balancing entry in the form of a transfer to Fund 27 at the end of the year. • Fund 27 must have a “0” ending fund balance.

  28. Fund 27 - What’s up with that?? Fund 27 identifies Special Education Costs. A portion of these eligible costs are reimbursed with a categorical aid. A categorical aid is State aid that is intended for a specific purpose.

  29. How do I claim Special Ed Aid? • Fund 27 has its own annual claim • It is reported by a program installed on district computer and sent via e-mail to DPI • “Aid eligible” and “Non-aidable” costs are identified • http://www.dpi.state.wi.us/sfs/speced.html

  30. EQUALIZATION AID • Verify that your equalization aid equals what is reported in source 621 • Aid payment schedule http://www.dpi.state.wi.us/sfs/pay_aid_info.html • Final general aid worksheet http://www.dpi.state.wi.us/sfs/aid_worksheets.html

  31. ACCOUNTING FOR DELAYED EQUALIZATION AID PAYMENT

  32. State Revenue Through Local Governments • Revenue from local governments other than school districts, CESAs and CCDEBs • Examples (Source 660) • Payments in Lieu of Taxes for DNR property • State financial assistance payments received from Technical Colleges and Universities

  33. SOURCE 700REENUE FROM FEDERAL SOURCES 710 – Federal Aid – Categorical 720 – Impact and Disaster Aid 730 – Federal Special Project Aid Transited Through DPI 750 – Elementary and Secondary Education Act (ESEA) 760 – Job Training Partnership Act (JTPA) 770 – Federal Aid Received through Municipalities and Counties 780 – Federal Aid Received through State Agencies other than DPI 790 – Other Revenue from Federal Sources

  34. Grant Receivables • Reimbursable grants are based on cost and will require filing Cost-Reimbursement claim PI-1086 • Revenue is reported in the fiscal year that the cost is incurred • When a grant reimbursement claim is submitted BEFORE the end of the fiscal year, but the actual cash won’t be received until AFTER the start of the new fiscal year, a grant receivable needs to be booked in the ledger.

  35. Grant Receivables Why do it this way? In accrual accounting, revenue is recognized when it is earned. By submitting the reimbursement claims in June, the district “earns” the money in the 06-07 school year, so the claims need to be booked as revenue in 06-07; however, since the actual cash will not come until the 07-08 school year, a receivable is used to account for the expected cash.

  36. Grant Receivables Example: Title I-A 06-07 reimbursement claim for $26,493 is completed and sent to DPI on June 29. 06-07 EOY Adjusting Entry (both increases): Debit 10B-715000-002 Due from Oth Gov’nts $26,493 Credit 10R-000000-751 IASA Title 1 $26,493 8 07-08 Entry When the Cash Comes: Debit 10B-711000-001 Cash $26,493 (increase) Credit 10B-715000-001 Due from Oth Gov’nts $26,493 (decrease) (So, 07-08 revenue is not effected at all by this transaction, which is what we want because this amount was already booked as revenue in 06-07!)

  37. Grant Receivables 06-07 07-08 08-09 July 1, 2006July 1, 2007 ✔Submit 06-07 grant claims. ✔Book 06-07 revenue in appropriate Source and end-of-year 06-07 receivable in 715000-002. Receive 06-07 cash early in 07-08 fiscal year (shows up on 07-08 aids register) ✔Submit 07-08 grant claims. ✔Book 07-08 revenue in appropriate Source and end-of-year 07-08 receivable in 715000-002. Receive 07-08 cash early in 08-09 fiscal year (shows up on 08-09 aids register) Revenue should equal the Aids Register amount minus the beginning-of-the-year receivables (06-07 revenue) plus the end-of-year receivables (07-08 revenue).
