education.state.mn.us 8
• Projects can be entered January to July
• The H&S website is disabled at the end of
the day on July 25th for processing
• By August 30th the H&S website will be
restored to show project approvals &
assigned 5-digit project numbers:
–Yes, No, NMI (needs more information),
or PPA (provisional project approval)
H&S Timelines
education.state.mn.us 9
• Districts can make changes to the website
until September 5th
• From September 5th – 19th, MDE reviews
district provided information to finalize
approvals
• September 19th is the last day the capital

H&S Timelines
education.state.mn.us 10
• September 30th is the last day school
districts can certify their proposed levy to
the county auditor
• November 1st is the last day to submit
closeout documentation in support of
PPAs
H&S Timelines
education.state.mn.us 11
• FY 13-14 project closeout starts in June
and ends December 31
• Reconcile UFARS expenditures to FY14
project approvals
• MDE and RMA’s will be providing more
assistance this fall – many districts
lose revenue by not reconciling
H&S Timelines
education.state.mn.us 12
Data From An Actual School District
education.state.mn.us 13
• Projects are approved and pre-funded
• FY of actual expense is recorded the same year
as the estimated revenue
• The FY project amount and fiscal year UFARS
expense by finance code for the year ended
June 30 are intended to be exactly the same by
November 1 – drives revenue adjustments
• Actual revenue is almost always a different
amount than was estimated on the original levy
so a levy adjustment comes on a future levy
The H&S System Is Approval Based
education.state.mn.us 14
• Adjustments to revenue come from actual
results of projects
• Errors in revenue come from not reconciling
• Invoice is late, missing, miscoded – project
came in over estimate, entered in wrong Fin
code – approval is in wrong year – other reasons
• MDE will offer more assistance with reconciling
this fall. It is a team effort for district staff.
H&S System Is Approval Based
education.state.mn.us 15
• District receives lesser of project approval or
UFARS expenditure by finance code on
December 31. This is the actual revenue that will
be compared to the original levy revenue.
• District gets the correct amount of revenue in
the end when projects have been reconciled.
• Approval based means MDE funds the approved
amount and UFARS can decrease, equal, or
indicate a project approval increase is needed.
• WORK WITH BUSINESS MANAGERS TO MATCH
THE PROJECTS WITH THE UFARS
H&S Timelines
education.state.mn.us 16
4. H&S Data Submissions
• Moving a project that has not started to a
different fiscal year?
–E-MAIL MDE WITH THE 5-DIGIT
PROJECT NUMBER AND DESIRED
FISCAL YEAR
–District’s must verify data after MDE
edits project entry
education.state.mn.us 17
Project Continuations
• A project continues into one or more fiscal
year;
(H&S website approvals and reported
UFARS need to match per fiscal year)
• Reconcile the existing project to what was
spent, then create a new project to move
forward the balance with reference to the
previous project number.
