THE 30-SECOND BRIEF
Ethan School District 17-1 has adopted Policy 3034 establishing capitalization thresholds, lease accounting under GASB 87, and subscription-based IT arrangement (SBITA) accounting under GASB 96. The policy specifies thresholds for land, improvements, buildings, machinery and equipment, food service equipment, leases, and IT subscriptions, and assigns the Business Manager responsibility for maintaining inventories of capital assets, leases, and SBITAs.
This document does not authorize a specific purchase or contract but signals that the district is formalizing how it evaluates and records longer-term leases and IT subscriptions over 12 months. Vendors offering leased equipment, facilities, or subscription-based software should recognize that solutions exceeding these thresholds will be capitalized and may require support with valuation, amortization schedules, and documentation for financial reporting. Future procurements of significant leases, devices, or SaaS platforms will likely be structured and evaluated in line with this policy and its materiality criteria.
Policy highlights that subscription-based IT arrangements over 12 months and above capitalization thresholds will be booked as subscription assets and liabilities per GASB 96, and leases per GASB 87.
