Board of Education Adams County School District 14 5291 E. 60th Avenue Commerce City, CO 80022

Dear Members of the Board of Education,

I am so pleased to submit to you the Comprehensive Annual Financial Report (CAFR) of Adams County School District 14 for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2011.

The CAFR, for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2010, received the Certificate of Excellence in Financial Reporting from the Association of School Business Officials International and the Certificate of Achievement for Excellence in Financial Reporting from the Government Finance Officers Association of the United States and Canada. These awards represent acknowledgement from our peers that our District has prepared and presented our fiscal information in a clear, open and user-friendly format for stakeholders that qualifies the report for its recognition of excellence. I am confident that this year’s CAFR will continue to qualify for these prestigious awards.

The Division of Financial Services is to be congratulated for their leadership in moving the District towards the highest standards of fiscal accountability. The quality and completeness of this report is designed to continue to increase the confidence of all our stakeholders in the fiscal competence of our district. A review of this document provides clear evidence of the progress the District has made in achieving its fiscal goals.

I would also extend my thanks to the members of the Board of Education for their support and direction in establishing clear and attainable fiscal goals for the District.

Sincerely,

Dr. Susan Chandler Superintendent

November 15, 2011

Citizens and Members of the Board of Education of Adams County School District 14:

We are pleased to submit the fiscal year 2011 Comprehensive Annual Financial Report (CAFR) of Adams County School District 14 (District) for the fiscal period from July 1, 2010, to June 30, 2011. The District’s Division of Financial Services prepared this report. Responsibility for both accuracy of the data, and the completeness and fairness of the presentation, including all disclosures, rests with the District. We believe the data as presented is accurate in all material respects, and is reported in a manner designed to present fairly the financial position and results of operations of the various funds of the District. All disclosures necessary to enable the reader to gain an understanding of the District's financial activities have been included.

All funds within the District are required under Colorado statute (C.R.S. 1973, 29-1-603) to have an annual audit performed on its financial statements by an independent certified public accountant. The District’s financial statements have been audited by RubinBrown LLC, a firm of licensed certified public accountants. The goal of the independent audit was to provide reasonable assurance that the financial statements of the District for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2011, are free of material misstatement. The independent audit involved examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements; assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management; and evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. The independent auditor concluded, based upon the audit, that there was a reasonable basis for rendering an unqualified opinion that the District’s financial statements are fairly presented in conformity with Generally Accepted Accounting Principles (GAAP). The independent auditors’ report is presented as the first component of the financial section of this report.

The standards governing Single Audit engagements require the independent auditor to report not only on the fair presentation of the financial statements, but also on the audited government’s internal controls and compliance with legal requirements. These reports can be found in the compliance section along with information related to the single audit, schedule of expenditures of Federal awards and schedule of findings and questioned costs. The Auditor’s Electronic Financial Data Integrity Check required by the Colorado Department of Education is also included in this section.

GAAP requires that management provide a narrative introduction, overview and analysis to accompany the financial statements in the form of Management’s Discussion and Analysis (MD&A).

This letter is designed to complement the MD&A and should be read in conjunction with it. The MD&A immediately follows the report of the independent auditors.

THE SCHOOL DISTRICT

The District lies immediately north of Denver, Colorado, and serves a population of 33,116 according to the 2000 U.S. census. The District boundaries cover 52 square miles and serve Commerce City, parts of the City of Thornton and unincorporated Adams County. We are fortunate to enjoy culture and ethnic diversity in our school district. Our ethnic composition is about 0.3% Asian, 0.9% American Indian, 2.5% African American, 81.7% Hispanic, 14.1% Anglo and 0.5% of two or more ethnicities. Adams County School District 14, a state and nationally recognized leader in innovative education, has 462 teachers, 37 administrators, and 413 support staff for a total of 912 employees. The District, inclusive of a charter school, serves 6,970.5 funded full-time equivalent students. These students were housed in two preschools, six elementary schools, one pre-kindergarten to eighth grade school, two middle schools, two high schools and one charter school. This was an increase of 147.5 funded full-time equivalent students from the prior fiscal year.

ORGANIZATION OF THE SCHOOL DISTRICT

A five member Board of Education (Board) serves as the taxing authority, contracting body and policy maker for the District. The Board adopts the annual operating budget, certifies the property tax mill levy and appropriates all expenditures that use District revenues. One Board member is designated as the Treasurer for the District.

The Superintendent is the Chief Executive Officer and is accountable to the Board for the education and support operations within the District. The Assistant Treasurer is the Director of Finance and is accountable to the Board for maintaining all financial records, issuing checks to pay the District’s liabilities, acting custodian of all District funds and investing the District’s idle cash as stipulated by Colorado law. Other Board appointed officials are the Chief Academic Officer, Chief Communications and Strategy Officer, Chief Human Resources Officer, Chief Operating Officer, School Principals and the Directors of the many various educational, operational and support services within the District, all of whom report to the Superintendent.

THE REPORTING ENTITY

The District has reviewed its reporting entity definition in accordance with the Governmental Accounting Standards Board (GASB), which defines the governmental reporting entity. This report includes all funds, organizations and activities for which the Board has oversight responsibility as further described in Note A in the Notes to Financial Statements. Our financial statements include two component units: one charter school, Community Leadership Academy, and the Adams 14 Education Foundation. Detail financial information can be referenced in the combining statements for component units.

SERVICES PROVIDED

The District provides a wide variety of education and support services as mandated by State statute or public desires. These include regular and vocational instruction, English language development programs, special education programs, student guidance and health services, preschool and many extracurricular activities. Enterprise fund services include adult education programs and nutritional service operations.

ECONOMIC CONDITION AND OUTLOOK

According to the Legislative Council Forecast (June 2011), Colorado’s economy… “gained momentum and its rate of economic growth began to surpass the national economy in late 2010. Both nonfarm employment and consumer spending have begun to increase at rates faster than in the nation. The state’s economy was boosted in 2010 by tourism, robust agricultural markets, and a recovery in the energy industry. Despite these clear signs that the economy is expanding, there are ongoing challenges that are restraining the recovery. Growth in small and medium-sized businesses will continue to be restrained by tight credit and a struggling commercial real estate sector. Consumers will also be restrained by tight credit, falling home prices and high levels of debt and unemployment. In addition, the financial and housing markets will continue to work through the imbalances that caused the recession. ”

According to the City of Commerce City’s website, Commerce City has 1,014 businesses of varying sizes that include the industrial, commercial, service and retail sectors. The Prairie Gateway Project opened in the spring of 2007 and continues to provide our constituents with job opportunities and more retail outlets. In addition, the northern areas of Commerce City that are outside of the District’s boundaries continue to expand in residential and retail development. The District welcomes the continued prosperity in our community, but remains cautiously optimistic and conservative in fiscal policy and management.

MAJOR INITIATIVES

In November 2006, District voters approved a bond initiative that provided us with the resources to pursue academic opportunities for all students. This includes building a new high school on a 55-acre parcel donated to the District by the City of Commerce City, retrofitting air-conditioning in all schools that did not already have it, building full-day kindergarten classrooms in our elementary schools and equipping our middle schools with state-of-the-art science labs. The high school opened for the 2009-10 school year and all other projects were completed by October 2008.

FINANCIAL INFORMATION

District management is responsible for establishing and maintaining a system of internal controls that are designed to provide reasonable, but not absolute, assurance that District assets are protected from material loss, theft or misuse. Furthermore, this system of internal controls shall provide accurate, reliable and sufficient accounting data to prepare financial statements in conformity with GAAP. The concept of reasonable assurance recognizes that: (1) the cost of a control should not exceed the benefits that are likely to be derived from it; and (2) the valuation of those costs and benefits may require certain accounting estimates and professional judgment by District management. Accordingly, we believe that the District's internal controls do provide adequate safeguards of District assets and provide reasonable assurance that financial transactions are properly recorded.

Single Audit As a recipient of Federal and State financial assistance, the District is responsible for maintaining adequate internal controls to ensure compliance with applicable laws and regulations related to those programs. These internal controls are subject to periodic evaluation by District management.

Budgeting Controls The Board adopts the annual budget (appropriation) for the District in June for the next fiscal year. Colorado statutes provide that the Board can make changes to this adopted budget through January 31st. All disbursements and transfers of cash between funds require appropriate authorization from the Board. All purchase order requests must comply with District’s purchasing practices and must be approved by the Assistant Treasurer or her designee. Upon approval, the necessary funds are encumbered and the purchase orders are released to the appropriate vendor. Appropriations within a fund that exceed the amount available are prohibited by law and rejected until additional funds have been secured. Management has the authority to modify budget line items as long as the total fund appropriation is not exceeded.

The finance system used by the District provides interim financial reports which details year-to-date expenditures and encumbrances with comparative data to the original appropriation plus any authorized additional appropriations. Every administrator and school principal has the ability to retrieve financial and budgetary information about their department or school that they are responsible for. These reports detail monthly transactions and summarize the amounts available for future expenditures of goods and services among the various programs. In addition, the Board of Education receives quarterly General Fund financial reports as required by law.

Cash Management District funds are deposited and invested in accordance with the Public Deposit Protection Act of 1975 and other applicable Colorado statutes. Income on investments for all government wide funds for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2011, was $16,651.

OTHER INFORMATION

Awards The Association of School Business Officials (ASBO) awarded a Certificate of Excellence in Financial Reporting to Adams County School District 14 for its Comprehensive Annual Financial Report for fiscal year ended June 30, 2010. These certificates are awarded to government units that publish an easy-to-read and well-organized Comprehensive Annual Financial Report, whose content conforms to the program standards. Such reports must satisfy both generally accepted accounting principles and any other applicable legal requirements.

In addition, the Government Finance Officers Association of the United States and Canada (GFOA) awarded a certificate of Achievement for Excellence in Financial Reporting to Adams County School District 14 for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2010. In order to be awarded a Certificate of Achievement, a government must publish an easily readable and efficiently organized comprehensive annual financial report. This report must satisfy both generally accepted accounting principles and applicable legal requirements.

Certificates from both ASBO and GFOA are valid for a period of one year only. We believe that our current comprehensive annual financial report continues to meet the Certificate of Excellence and Certificate of Achievement Programs’ requirements and we are submitting it to both ASBO and GFOA to determine its eligibility for another certificate.

Acknowledgment We want to extend a special thanks to our independent certified public accountant, RubinBrown LLP, for their professional assistance helping us prepare our Comprehensive Annual Financial Report.

In closing, we commend the Board for their continued interest and support in planning and conducting the financial operations of the District in a responsible and progressive manner.

Respectfully submitted,

Martha Baldwin, C.P.A., M.P.A. Director of Finance

MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS

As management of Adams County School District 14 (District), we offer readers of the District’s Comprehensive Annual Financial Report this narrative and analysis of the financial activities of the District for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2011. We encourage readers to consider the information presented here in conjunction with additional information that can be found in the letters of transmittal on pages 1 - 6 of this report.

FINANCIAL HIGHLIGHTS

The total assets of primary government, including land, buildings and equipment exceeded liabilities, including long term bonds payable at the close of fiscal year 2010-11 by $46,422,623 (net assets). Of this amount, $14,770,918 (unrestricted net assets) may be used to meet the District’s ongoing obligations to citizens and creditors.

The District’s total net assets for the primary reporting entity increased by $5,132,769 while unrestricted net assets increased by $6,282,089.

The District’s Governmental Funds fund balance increased by $5,964,127 to an ending fund balance of $24,171,653.

Business-type activities have net assets totaling $1,686,465 after reporting a net gain for the fiscal year of $957,965. Of this net gain, the Adult Education Fund realized a net gain of $140,683. Furthermore, the Food Service Fund realized a net gain of $817,282 in conjunction with offering free breakfast and lunch to every student in the District.

The Governmental Funds reported combined unassigned fund balance of $11,846,338.

At June 30, 2011, $2,653,819 of the $17,850,437 fund balance of the General Fund was restricted for the Colorado Preschool Program and the emergency contingency required by Article X, Section 20 of the Colorado Constitution. In addition, $814,630 was considered nonspendable as it was held in inventories, prepaid items and a deposit in the insurance pool. The $11,846,338 unassigned portion of the fund balance is equivalent to 20.9% of the total General Fund expenditures.

OVERVIEW OF THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

Management’s discussion and analysis is intended to serve as an introduction to the District’s basic financial statements. The District’s basic financial statements are comprised of three components: 1) government-wide financial statements, 2) fund financial statements and 3) notes to the basic financial statements. This report also contains other supplementary information in addition to the basic financial statements themselves.

GOVERNMENT-WIDE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

The government-wide financial statements are designed to provide readers a broad overview of the school district’s financial activities in a manner similar to a private sector business.

For the most part, the effect of interfund activity has been removed from these statements; only the net residual amounts due between governmental and business-type activities are presented as internal balances.

Page 20: ADAMS COUNTY SCHOOL DISTRICT 14 2010-11 FINAL 11-16-11.pdf · (GFOA) awarded a certificate of Achievement for Excellence in Financial Reporting to Adams County School District 14

 

14  

The statement of net assets presents information on all of the District’s assets and liabilities. The difference between assets and liabilities is reported as net assets. Over time, changes in net assets may serve as a useful indicator of whether the financial position of the District is improving or deteriorating.

The statement of activities presents information showing how the net assets of the District changed during the current fiscal year. Changes in net assets are recorded in the statement of activities when the underlying event occurs, regardless of the timing of related cash flows. Thus, revenues and expenses are reported in this statement for some items that will result in cash flows in future fiscal periods (example: levied but uncollected property taxes and earned but unused employees’ vacation leave).

The government-wide financial statements distinguish between the activities that are governmental (supported by taxes) and business-type (supported by user fees and charges). Governmental type funds include the General Fund, Special Revenue Fund, Debt Service Fund and Capital Projects Funds. Business-type funds include the enterprise funds: the Food Service Fund and the Adult Education Fund.

The government-wide financial statements include not only the District itself (known as the primary government), but also one legally separate charter school and a foundation for which the District is financially accountable. Financial information for the component units are reported separately from the financial information presented for the primary government itself.

The government-wide financial statements can be found on pages 24 - 25 of this report.

FUND FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

Fund financial statements are designed to demonstrate compliance with finance-related legal requirements. A fund is a grouping of related accounts that is used to maintain control over resources that have been segregated for specific activities or objectives. The District, like other governments, uses fund accounting to ensure and demonstrate compliance. All of the funds of the District can be divided into three categories: governmental funds, proprietary funds and fiduciary funds.

Governmental Funds Governmental funds are used to account for essentially the same functions reported as governmental activities in the government-wide financial statements. However, unlike the government-wide statements, governmental fund financial statements focus on near-term financial resources and fund balances (which are spendable resources available at the end of the fiscal year). Such information may be useful in evaluating the District’s near-term financing requirements.

Because the focus of governmental funds is narrower than that of the government-wide financial statements, it is useful to compare the information presented for governmental funds with similar information presented for governmental activities in the government-wide financial statements. By doing so, readers may better understand the long-term impact of the District’s near-term financing decisions. Both the governmental fund balance sheet and the governmental fund statement of revenue, expenditures, and changes in fund balances provide a reconciliation to facilitate this comparison between governmental funds and governmental activities.

The District maintains three governmental funds that are classified as major funds. They are the General Fund, the Grants Fund, and the Bond Redemption Fund. The General and Grant funds account for funds received from other government entities. The Bond Redemption Fund is used to account for property tax collections used to pay off the District’s general obligation debt. Other governmental funds, classified as non-major funds, include the Capital Projects Fund – Building Fund and the Capital Projects Fund –Capital Reserve Fund.

The District adopts an annual appropriated budget for each of the individual governmental funds. A budgetary comparison schedule for the General and Grants funds are included in the Required Supplementary Information to demonstrate compliance with the adopted budget. The remaining governmental funds budgetary comparisons are reported as Supplementary Information and can be found after the Required Supplementary Information section of this report.

Proprietary Funds The District maintains one type of proprietary fund, which is called an enterprise fund. Enterprise funds are used to report the same functions as the business-type activities presented in the government-wide financial statements. The District uses enterprise funds to account for its food service operation and adult education program.

Fiduciary Funds Fiduciary funds are used to account for resources held for the benefit of parties outside the government. Fiduciary funds are not reflected in the government-wide financial statements because these sources are not available to support direct educational programs. The pupil activity fund is the only fiduciary fund the District currently operates.

NEW PRONOUNCEMENTS  The Governmental Accounting Standards Board (GASB) issued Statement No. 54, Fund Balance Reporting and Governmental Fund Type Definitions. The changes in financial presentation required by this pronouncement are reflected in these statements.

GASB Statement No. 54 is intended to improve the usefulness of information provided to financial report users about fund balances by providing clearer, more structured fund balance classifications, and by clarifying the definitions of existing governmental fund types. Fund balance information is among the most widely and frequently used information in school district financial reports. The GASB developed this standard to address the diversity of practice and the resulting lack of consistency that had evolved in fund balance reporting. To reduce confusion, the new standard establishes a hierarchy of fund balance classification based primarily on the extent to which a school district is bound to observe spending constraints.

Under Statement No. 54, the definition of certain fund types used by the District require further distinction and board authorization to maintain the current presentation of these funds. Special revenue funds are now defined as funds used to account for and report the proceeds of specific revenue sources that are restricted or committed to expenditure for specified purposes other than debt service or capital projects. The term “proceeds of specific revenue sources” establish that one or more specific restricted or committed revenues should be the foundation for a special revenue fund.

Statement 54 also redefines the categorization of fund balance. Under the new statement there are five components of fund balance: 1) nonspendable, 2) restricted, 3) committed, 4) assigned and 5) unassigned. Nonspendable fund balance is defined as a) assets that will never convert to cash, b) assets that will not convert to cash soon enough to affect the current period and c) resources that must be maintained intact pursuant to legal or contractual requirements. Restricted fund balance is defined as a) limitations imposed by creditors, grantors, contributors, or laws and regulations of other governments and b) limitations imposed by law through constitutional provisions or enabling legislation. Committed fund balance is defined as self-imposed limitations set in place by the highest level of decision making powers. Assigned fund balance is defined as amounts that are constrained by the school district’s intent to be used for specific purposes. Assigned fund balances should be expressed by a) the school board or b) an official to whom the school board has delegated the authority to assign amounts to be used for specific

purposes. Unassigned fund balance is defined as the residual fund balance that has not been assigned to other funds and that has not been restricted, committed, or assigned to specific purposes.

GOVERNMENT-WIDE FINANCIAL ANALYSIS

The assets of the District are classified as current assets, non-current assets and capital assets. Cash and investments, receivables and inventories are current assets available to provide resources for the near-term operations of the District. Non-current assets include restricted investments and deferred charges, net of accumulated amortization. Capital assets are used in the operations of the District and include buildings, land, machinery and equipment.

As noted earlier, net assets may serve over time as a useful indicator of a government’s financial position. The assets of the primary government exceed liabilities by $46,464,828. The investment of $22,840,966 in buildings, land, machinery and equipment net of related debt represents approximately 49.2% of the District’s net assets.

GOVERNMENT-WIDE ACTIVITIES

Governmental activities increased the net assets of the District by $4,174,804 during the current fiscal year. The increase was realized from an unanticipated Impact Aid payment and a change to consolidated school-wide accounting for Title grants that allowed a more accurate capture of expenses to be paid for through grant funding. Business-type activities increased net assets by $957,965 during the same period. The increase was primarily realized from implementing free breakfast in the classroom for every student along with maintaining tight control over food and personnel costs.

The main sources of revenue for the primary government are received through local property tax, state equalization payments and grants. Property taxes and specific ownership taxes account for 32.4% of the revenue received by the District with 40.8% being received from state equalization payments. Operating grants and contributions provide an additional 18.1%. Other sources, including general revenue grants, account for the remaining 8.7% of revenue.

Governmental expenses totaled 95.0% of the total expenses, with business-type activities accounting for 5.0% of the total expenses for the District. Instructional and instructional support expenses and services totaled 59.5% of the total governmental expenses.

FUND FINANCIAL ANALYSIS

Adams County School District 14 uses fund accounting to ensure and demonstrate compliance with finance-related legal requirements.

The focus of the District’s governmental funds is to provide information on near-term inflows, outflows and balances of spendable resources. Such information is useful in assessing the District’s financing requirements. In particular, unreserved fund balance may serve as a useful measure of the District’s net resources available for spending at the end of the fiscal year.

At the end of the current fiscal year the District’s governmental funds reported a combined ending fund balance of $24,171,653.

Major Governmental Funds

General Fund The General Fund is the major operating fund of the District, providing the majority of the resources for the educational and support programs. Revenues for the General Fund totaled $63.7 million in fiscal year 2010-11 compared to $63.2 million in fiscal year 2009-10, an increase of 0.7%. Federal revenues increased while State revenues decreased; local revenues remained fairly constant. The most significant changes in Federal revenues were a result of the American Recovery & Reinvestment Act (ARRA) funds that supplemented the reduction to state equalization and the increase in Impact Aid payments resulting from collection of back payments. The most significant decrease in State revenues was in state equalization payments because the per pupil amount was decreased by $420 from fiscal year 2009-10.

Grants Fund

The Grants Fund, a special revenue fund, maintains a separate accounting for Federal, State and local grant-funded programs which normally could have a different fiscal period than that of the District. Funds are received for a specific purpose to address a particular student group or need related to student achievement. The funds must be supplemental to the efforts of the District and are not used to supplant District funding responsibilities. Specific rules, statutes and regulations guide these programs, and the money received is accounted for independently of local budget funds. Board of Education policy regulates the application and receipt of these funds. Fiscal year 2010-11 grant revenues totaled $9.0 million and expenditures totaled $8.8 million compared to grant revenues of $9.2 million and expenditures of $9.4 in the 2009-10 fiscal year.

Bond Redemption Fund

The Bond Redemption Fund is reported as a major fund for the fiscal year 2010-11. The Bond Redemption Fund is used to account for the requirements of the general obligation bonds. The primary revenue source is from a voter approved mill levy to satisfy principal and interest requirements on the debt. Principal and interest payments were $6.2 million for fiscal year 2010-11 compared to $6.0 million for the fiscal year 2009-10.

Non-major Governmental Funds

Special Revenue Capital Reserve Fund

The Special Revenue Capital Reserve Fund is considered a non-major fund for fiscal year 2010-11 reporting purposes. The beginning fund balance of $1.9 million was transferred to the Capital Projects Capital Reserve Fund in order to be in compliance with the new guidelines of Governmental Accounting Standards Board Statement No. 54.

Capital Projects Building Fund

Also reported as a non-major fund for fiscal year 2010-11, the Capital Projects Building Fund is used to account for the voter approved projects. Total revenues for the Capital Projects Building Fund were $48.4 thousand for fiscal year 2010-11. Total expenditures were $50.5 thousand which related to the completion of the new high school that opened in August 2009.

Capital Projects Capital Reserve Fund

The Capital Projects Capital Reserve Fund, reported as a non-major fund for fiscal year 2010-11, is used to account for Board approved capital outlay and routine preventative and repair maintenance. Capital Projects Capital Reserve Fund revenues and other financing sources totaled $3.3 million and included a transfer of $1.9 million from the Special Revenue Capital Reserve Fund. Total expenditures and other financing uses were $2.5 million and included a $1.0 million transfer back to the General Fund for three multi-year instructional and instructional support programs: Kindergarten Jumpstart, Ninth Grade Bridges and Writers’ Workshop.

Proprietary Funds

The District’s proprietary funds provide the same type of information found in the district-wide financial statements, but in more detail. Proprietary funds account for operations that are organized to be self-supporting through user charges. The District’s proprietary funds consist of the Food Service Fund and the Adult Education Fund.

Food Service Fund

The Food Service Fund provides complete food services for the District including National School Lunch Program, National Breakfast Program and Summer Food Service Program. Primary revenues come from these program reimbursements. Fiscal year 2010-11 reported a net gain of $817,282 resulting in total net assets of $1,477,475. This gain is from implementing breakfast in the classroom for every student along with maintaining tight control over personnel and food costs.

Adult Education Fund

The Adult Education Fund provides education services for adults within the community. Net assets increased by $140,683 resulting in ending net assets of $208,990 in the 2010-11 fiscal year. Revenues decreased to $539,044 in fiscal year 2010-11 from $621,123 in fiscal year 2009-10. Expenditures decreased to $398,361 in fiscal year 2010-11 from $552,879 in fiscal year 2009-10. Both of these decreases were a result of the STARS before and after school program being moved to the General Fund.

GENERAL FUND BUDGETARY HIGHLIGHTS

The proposed budget for fiscal year 2010-11 was presented to the Board of Education on April 13, 2010, with total General Fund appropriations of $56,047,330, net of the charter school allocation. A series of public budget hearings in March and April brought clarification and further refinement of our financial resources to our District goals, student achievement and our contractual obligations. On June 22, 2010, the budget was adopted and was later amended on January 25, 2011, to include the salary and benefit negotiated settlement.

Overall actual revenues were higher than budgeted revenues by $1,424,335. Total operating expenditures were $5,835,114 under budget. Together, these increased the fund balance by $6,645,507.

CAPITAL ASSETS AND DEBT ADMINISTRATION

The District’s governmental activities net investment in capital assets totaled $114,667,447 for fiscal year 2010-11, which is a decrease of $3,176,603 over the prior year. The decrease is a result of the annual depreciation of capital assets.

At June 30, 2011, the District had total bonded debt outstanding of $87,440,000 backed by the full faith and credit of the District. In November 2006, the voters in our District approved $78 million in general obligation bonds along with a 6.876 mill levy increase to fund the construction of a new high school/community learning center, install air conditioning in schools that do not already have it, expand our full-day kindergarten facilities and upgrade our middle school science labs. The final $3.375 million of general obligation bonds were issued on January 3, 2008.

Additional information on the District’s capital assets and debt administration can be found in note E and F of this report.

ECONOMIC FACTORS AND NEXT YEAR’S BUDGETS

The largest source of revenue for the District’s operating funds is derived from the Public School Finance Act funding formula. In April 1994, the Colorado state legislature enacted the Public School Finance Act of 1994, which remains in effect. Funding is based on a statewide base per pupil funding formula that is adjusted for individual school districts by recognizing differences in personnel costs, non-personnel costs, local cost of living and school district size. Additional funding is also provided based on the presence of at-risk pupils. For FY 2011-2012, the state reduced K-12 funding by $227.5 million, reducing the per pupil revenue to the District from $7,274 to $6,902. As of November 1, 2011, the state is projecting to face a $679 million short-fall in revenue in FY 2011-2012 of which there is a likely potential for a significant portion of that short-fall to be rescinded from K-12 education funding. 

In November 2000, Colorado voters approved Amendment 23, “Funding for Public Schools”, which requires funding to increase by at least the rate of inflation plus one percent for a ten-year period beginning FY 2001-2002, and by at least the rate of inflation thereafter. In addition, State revenues collected from a tax of one-third of one-percent on Federal taxable income shall be deposited into the State Education Fund.

Therefore, actual and projected student enrollment counts influence the District’s current and future operating budgets. Enrollments for FY 2011-12 are estimated to increase by about 1% compared to FY 2010-11 levels.

Reconciliation of Governmental Funds Balance Sheet

to the Statement of Net Assets

June 30, 2011

Total fund balances for governmental funds 24,171,653$

Amounts reported for governmental activities in the statement of net assets are different because:

Capital assets used in governmental activities are not financial resources and therefore are not reported in the funds 114,667,447

Other long-term assets are not available to pay for current period expenditures and therefore are deferred in the funds 776,395

Long-term liabilities, including long-term debt outstanding ($95,705,229) accrued interest payable of ($344,926), net of unamortized bond issuance costs $1,170,818 are not due and payable in the current period and therefore are not reported in the funds (94,879,337)

Total net assets of governmental activities 44,736,158$

Adams County School District 14Reconciliation of the Statement of Revenues

Expenditures, and Changes in Fund Balances of Governmental Fundsto the Statement of Activities

For the Year Ended June 30, 2011

Amounts reported for governmental activities in the statement of activities are different because:

Net change in fund balances - total governmental funds 5,964,127$

Governmental funds report capital outlays as expenditures. However, in the statement ofactivities the cost of those assets is allocated over their estimated useful lives and reported asdepreciation expense. This is the amount by which the sum of depreciation expense of($3,761,578) exceeded the sum of capital outlays of $584,975. (3,176,603)

Revenues in the statement of activities that do not provide current financial resources are deferredin the funds. This amount represents property taxes and grants not available at year end. 184,434

Bond proceeds provide current financial resources to governmental funds, but issuing debt increases long-term liabilities in the statement of net assets. This amount is the net effect ofthese differences in the treatment of long-term debt and related items: amortization of bondissuance costs ($73,909), amortization of bond premium $279,574, amortization of bonddiscount ($6,153), amortization of loss on refunding ($123,527) and a decrease in accruedinterest payable of $6,549. 82,534

Compensated absences and early retirement are not recorded as an expenditure in thegovernmental statements until it becomes due and payable. However, in the statement of activities they are reported as an expense when earned or incurred. (1,139,803)

Repayments of bond principal of $1,965,000 and capital leases of $295,115 are expenditures inthe governmental funds, but they reduce long-term liabilities in the statement of net assets anddo not affect the statement of activities. 2,260,115

Change in net assets of governmental activities 4,174,804$

NOTE A – SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

The financial statements of Adams County School District 14 (The “District”) have been prepared in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP) as applied to governmental entities. The Governmental Accounting Standards Board (GASB) is the acceptable standard-setting body for establishing governmental accounting and financial reporting principles.

A summary of the District’s significant policies consistently applied in the preparation of these financial statements follows. These policies are presented to assist the reader in interpreting the financial statements and other data in the report. The policies are considered essential and should be read in conjunction with the accompanying financial statements.

1. Reporting Entity

The financial reporting entity consists of the District and organizations for which the District is financially accountable. All funds, organizations, institutions, agencies, departments and offices that are not legally separate are part of the District. In addition, any legally separate organizations for which the District is financially accountable are considered part of the reporting entity. Financial accountability exists if the District appoints a voting majority of the organization’s governing board and is able to impose its will on the organization, or if the organization provides benefits to or imposes financial burdens on the District. The definition of the reporting entity is based primarily on financial accountability. The District includes Community Leadership Academy and the Adams 14 Education Foundation within its reporting entity because the charter school and foundation are fiscally dependent on the District, provide resources exclusively to the District, and their exclusion would render the District’s financial statements incomplete. Since the charter school and foundation have a separately elected board, the balances and transactions of the charter school and foundation are discretely presented in the financial statements. The charter school and foundation are considered nonmajor for financial reporting purposes. Separate financial statements for Community Leadership Academy and Adams 14 Education Foundation may be obtained by contacting them at the corresponding addresses listed below.

2. Government-Wide and Fund Financial Statements

The government-wide financial statements (i.e., the statement of net assets and the statement of activities) report information on all of the nonfiduciary activities of the District and its component units. For the most part, the effect of interfund activity has been removed from these statements. Exceptions to this general rule are charges for interfund services that are reasonably equal to the services provided. Governmental activities, which normally are supported by taxes and intergovernmental revenues, are reported separately from business-type activities, which rely to a significant extent on fees and charges for support. Likewise, the primary government is reported separately from the legally separate component units for which the District is financially accountable.

The statement of activities demonstrates the degree to which the direct expenses of a given function or a segment are offset by program revenues. Direct expenses are those that are clearly identifiable with a specific function or segment. Program revenues include 1) charges to students or others who purchase, use or directly benefit from goods, services or privileges provided by a given function or segment and 2) grants and contributions that are restricted to meeting the operational or capital requirements of a particular function or segment. Taxes and other items not properly included among program revenues are reported instead as general revenues. Internally dedicated revenues are reported as general revenues rather than as program revenues.

Separate financial statements are provided for governmental funds, proprietary funds and fiduciary funds, even though the latter are excluded from the District’s financial statements. Major individual governmental funds and major individual enterprise funds are reported as separate columns in the fund financial statements.

3. Measurement Focus, Basis of Accounting and Financial Statement Presentation

The government-wide financial statements are reported using the economic resources measurement focus and the accrual basis of accounting, as are the proprietary fund financial statements. Revenues are recorded when earned and expenses are recorded when a liability is incurred, regardless of the timing of related cash flows. Property taxes are recognized as revenues in the year for which they are levied. Grants and similar items are recognized as revenue as soon as all eligibility requirements imposed by the provider have been met. The fiduciary fund financial statements are reported using the accrual basis of accounting.

Governmental fund financial statements are reported using the current financial resources measurement focus and the modified accrual basis of accounting. Revenues are recognized as soon as they are both measurable and available. Property tax revenues are considered to be available if collected within 60 days after year-end. All other revenues are considered to be available in the period earned if the receipt of the money is expected to be collected within 90 days.

Property taxes, specific ownership taxes, grants and interest associated with the current fiscal period are all considered to be susceptible to accrual and so have been recognized as revenues of the current fiscal period. All other revenue items are considered to be measurable and available only when the District receives cash.

Expenditures generally are recorded when a liability is incurred, as under accrual accounting. However, debt service expenditures, as well as expenditures related to compensated absences, are recorded only when payment is due.

The District reports the following major governmental funds:

The General Fund is the District’s primary operating fund. It accounts for all financial resources of the District, except those that are required to be accounted for in another fund.

The Grants Fund is provided to maintain a separate accounting for fully funded Federal, State and local grant programs.

The Bond Redemption Fund is provided to maintain a separate accounting for the District’s bond principal and interest payments using property taxes dedicated for debt service.

The District designates the following major proprietary fund:

The Food Service Fund accounts for the financial activities associated with the District’s school breakfast and lunch programs.

Additionally, the District reports the following fund type:

The Agency Fund is used to account for resources legally held in trust for use by individual school administration for selected programs. All resources of the fund, including any earnings on invested resources, may be used to support the school activities. There is no requirement that any portion of these resources be preserved as capital. The District holds all resources in a purely custodial capacity.

Private-sector standards of accounting and financial reporting issued prior to December 1, 1989, generally are followed in both the government-wide and proprietary fund financial statements to the extent that those standards do not conflict with or contradict guidance of the Governmental Accounting Standards Board. Governments also have the option of following subsequent private-sector guidance for their business-type activities and enterprise funds, subject to the same limitation. The District has elected not to follow subsequent private-sector guidance.

Proprietary funds distinguish operating revenues and expenses from non-operating items. Operating revenues and expenses generally result from providing services and producing and delivering goods in connection with a proprietary fund’s principal ongoing operations. The principal operating revenues of the District’s Nutrition Services Fund, and the Adult Education Fund come from various sources which include grants and charges to customers for sales and services. Operating expenses for enterprise funds include the cost of sales and services, administrative expenses, and depreciation on capital assets. All revenues and expenses not meeting this definition are reported as non-operating revenues and expenses.

When both restricted and unrestricted resources are available for use, it is the District’s policy to use restricted resources first, and then unrestricted resources as they are needed.

4. Assets, Liabilities and Net Assets or Fund Balance

Deposits and Investments

The District’s cash and cash equivalents are considered to be cash on hand, demand deposits, and short-term investments with original maturities of three months or less from the date of acquisition.

Investments for the District are reported at fair value.

Receivables and Payables

Activity between funds that are representative of lending/borrowing arrangements outstanding at the end of the fiscal year are referred to as “due to/from other funds” (i.e., the current portion of interfund loans). Any residual balances outstanding between the governmental activities and business-type activities are reported in the government-wide financial statements as “internal balances.”

All trade and property tax receivables are shown net of an allowance for uncollectibles.

The County bills and collects property taxes for all taxing districts within the County. Property tax receipts are remitted to the District in the subsequent month. The taxes are recorded as a receivable and reported as deferred revenue if not available.

The County collects specific ownership taxes on motor vehicles registered within the District’s assessment area. Tax receipts collected by the County are remitted to the District in the subsequent month.

Prepaid Items

Payments made to vendors for services that will benefit periods beyond year-end are recorded as prepaid items using the consumption method. A current asset for the prepaid amount is recorded at the time of payment, and an expenditure/expense is reported in the year in which the services are consumed.

Inventories

General Fund purchased inventories are stated at cost, determined by the weighted average cost method and recorded under the consumption method. Inventory in the General Fund consists of expendable supplies held for consumption. Expenditures for supplies are recorded upon delivery of these items to the various schools and departments from the District warehouse.

Food Service Fund purchased inventories are stated at cost, determined by the weighted average cost method and recorded under the consumption method. Expenses for food items are recorded when used.

Capital Assets

Capital assets, which include property and equipment, are reported in the applicable governmental or business-type activities column in the government-wide financial statements and proprietary funds in the fund financial statements. The District defines capital assets as assets with an individual cost of more than $5,000 and an estimated useful life in excess of one year. Such assets are recorded at historical cost or estimated historical cost if purchased or constructed. Donated capital assets are recorded at estimated fair market value at the date of donation.

The costs of normal maintenance and repairs that do not add to the value of the asset or materiality extend assets lives are not capitalized.

Property and equipment of the District is depreciated using the straight line method over the following estimated useful lives:

Accrued Salaries and Benefits

Salaries and retirement benefits of certain contractually employed personnel are paid over a twelve-month period from August through July, but are incurred over the school year which is approximately ten months. Accordingly, the accrued compensation is reflected as a liability in the General, Grants, Food Service and Adult Education Funds in the accompanying fund financial statements.

Deferred Revenues

Deferred revenues arise when resources are received by the District before it has legal claim to them or when assets are not available as current financial resources in the governmental funds. Grant funds that have been collected but the corresponding expenditures have not been incurred are reported as deferred revenues. Property taxes and grants earned but not available are also recorded as deferred revenue in the governmental fund financial statements.

Compensated Absences/Early Retirement

Vacation pay is accrued for eligible classified, support & technical and administrative personnel at a rate based upon years of service. District policy allows eligible classified employees to accumulate up to thirty (30) days of vacation leave and eligible support & technical and administrative employees to accumulate up to forty (40) days of vacation leave. Payment is made to eligible employees upon separation with the District.

Sick pay is accumulated for all certificated, classified, support & technical and administrative full-time personnel. District policy allows employees to accumulate up to 90 days of unused sick leave. Payment is made to employees upon separation with the District and is paid out at an employee’s per diem rate for 50% of the unused leave. Sick pay is reported as a liability in the government-wide financial statements.

The District provides a financial incentive for early retirement to employees with at least 20 years of continuous full-time service with the District. The retirement request must be submitted to the District no later than five years after they qualify. The maximum salary on which the early retirement benefit will be computed shall be the employee’s twentieth (20th) year salary. The early retirement incentive is equal to eighty percent (80%) of the twentieth year salary. The retirement incentive is made in three (3) equal annual installments. Early retirement is reported as a liability in the government-wide financial statements upon acceptance by the retiring employees and as a liability in the fund financial statements when due.

Long-term Obligations

In the government-wide financial statements and in the proprietary fund type statement of net assets, long-term debt and other long-term obligations are reported as liabilities. Bond premiums and discounts, as well as issuance costs, are deferred and amortized over the life of the bonds using the straight-line method.

In the fund financial statements, governmental fund types recognize bond premiums and discounts, as well as bond issuance costs, during the current period. The face amount of debt issued is reported as other financing sources.

Net Assets/Fund Balance

In the government-wide financial statements and the proprietary funds in the fund financial statements, net assets are restricted when constraints placed on the net assets are externally imposed.

In the fund financial statements, fund balances of the governmental funds are classified as follows:

Nonspendable – amounts that cannot be spent either because they are in nonspendable form or because they are legally or contractually required to be maintained intact.

Restricted – amounts that can be spent only for specific purposes because of constitutional provisions or enabling legislation or because of constraints that are externally imposed by creditors, grantors, contributors, or the laws or regulations of other governments.

Committed – amounts that can be used only for specific purposes determined by a formal action of the Board of Education. The Board of Education is the highest level of decision-making authority for the District. Commitments may be established, modified, or rescinded only through resolutions approved by the Board of Education.

Assigned – amounts that do not meet the criteria to be classified as restricted or committed but that are intended to be used for specific purposes. Under the Board of Education’s adopted policy, only the Superintendent or his/her designee may assign amounts for specific purposes.

Unassigned – all other spendable amounts.

The details of the fund balances are included in the Governmental Funds Balance Sheet.

When an expenditure is incurred for purposes for which both restricted and unrestricted fund balance is available, the District considers restricted funds to have been spent first. When an expenditure is incurred for which committed, assigned, or unassigned fund balances are available, the District considers amounts to have been spent first out of committed funds, then assigned funds, and finally unassigned funds, as needed, unless the Board of Education has provided otherwise in its commitment or assignment actions.

NOTE B – CASH, CASH EQUIVALENTS AND INVESTMENTS

Cash and investments reported in the financial statements are as follows:

Cash and investments 26,232,323$ Fiduciary fund cash and investments 245,313

Total 26,477,636$

A summary of deposits and investments at June 30, 2011 follows:

Petty cash 730$ Deposits 2,540,855 Investments 23,936,051

Total 26,477,636$

1. Deposits

The Colorado Public Deposit Protection Act (PDPA) requires that all units of local government deposit cash in eligible public depositories. Eligibility is determined by state regulations. Amounts on deposit in excess of Federal insurance levels must be collateralized by eligible collateral as determined by the PDPA. PDPA allows the financial institution to create a single collateral pool for all public funds held. The pool is to be maintained by another institution or held in trust for all the uninsured public deposits as a group. The market value of the collateral must be at least equal to 102% of the uninsured deposits. At June 30, 2011, the District had bank deposits of $2,350,000 collateralized by securities held by the financial institution’s agent but not in the District’s name.

2. Investments The District’s investment policy, DFAA, defines eligible investments as well as the requirements to comply with State statutes which specify investment instruments meeting defined rating, maturity and concentration risk criteria in which local governments may invest. State statutes do not address custodial risk. Following is a list of the investment instruments that comply with State statutes:

Obligations of the United States and certain U.S. Agency securities Certain international agency securities General obligation and revenue bonds of U.S. local government entities Bankers’ acceptances of certain banks Commercial paper Written repurchase agreements collateralized by certain authorized securities Certain money market funds Guaranteed investment contracts Local government investment pools

23,936,051$ 23,936,051$

The District has invested $21,078,153 in the Colorado Surplus Asset Fund Trust (CSAFE). CSAFE is a local government investment pool trust fund organized under C.R.S. §24-75-701, et seq. The Colorado Division of Securities administers and enforces the requirements of creating and operating CSAFE. CSAFE operates similarly to a money market fund as all funds are available without limitation on a daily basis and each share is equal in value to $1.00. Investments of CSAFE consist of U.S. Treasury, U.S. Agency securities and repurchase agreements. The designated custodial bank provides safekeeping and depository services to CSAFE in connection with the direct investment and withdrawal functions of CSAFE. Substantially all securities owned by CSAFE are held by the Federal Reserve Bank in an account maintained for the custodial bank. The custodian’s internal records identify the investments owned by the participating governments.

To minimize credit risk, or the risk that an insurer or other counterparty to an investment will not fulfill its obligations, the District’s investment policy and State statutes limit direct investments in U.S. government agency securities to the highest rating issued by at least two nationally recognized statistical rating organizations (NRSROs). In addition, repurchase agreements must be collateralized at no less than 102% of the market value with U.S. agency or treasury securities. The District’s investment policy and state statutes also limit investments of money market funds to those that maintain a constant share price, with a maximum remaining maturity in accordance with Rule 29-7, and either have assets of one billion dollars or the highest rating issued by a NRSRO.

The concentration of credit risk, or the risk of loss attributed to the magnitude of a government’s investment in a single issuer, occurs when investments are not diversified. District policy states that its intent is to maintain a proportionate mix of investments of no more than 25% of the total investment portfolio in Jumbo CDs and 75% of the total in government securities. Of the portion invested in government securities and no more than one-third in government agency securities. At June 30, 2011, the District’s investment in a repurchase agreement was 14% of the District’s total investments.

Interest rate risk is the extent to which changes in interest rates will adversely affect the fair value of an investment. The District does not have a formal investment policy that limits investment maturities as means of managing its exposure to fair value losses arising from increasing interest rates. However, the District’s investment policy follows State statutes. State statutes generally limit investments to an original maturity of five years unless the governing board authorizes the investment for a period in excess of these limits.

NOTE C – PROPERTY TAXES

Under Colorado law, all property taxes become due and payable in the year following that in which they are levied. Property taxes are recognized as revenue based upon when received by the County Treasurer. The 2011 fiscal year property tax calendar for Adams County was as follows:

Assessor certifies total assessed valuation ..................... December 11, 2010 Levy date ..........................................................................

The District maintains a pooled cash account that all funds use to deposit money into and write checks out of. Periodically, usually monthly, an accounting and settlement is made of all applicable interfund transactions. A due to interfund balance represents the net amount owed to other funds for transactions incurred since the last settlement. A due from interfund balance represents the net amount due from other funds for transactions incurred since the last settlement. Interfund transfer activity for the year ended June 30, 2011 is as follows:

NOTE G – RISK MANAGEMENT – EQUITY IN INSURANCE POOL

The District has combined with four other Adams County school districts to form the Adams County BOCES Self-Insurance Pool. The pools provide insurance to the participating districts in the areas of liability, property and workers’ compensation. Assets held by the pools include reserves restricted under the various pool agreements, including statutory reserves required by the Colorado Commissioner of Insurance. Pool assets consist primarily of direct obligations of the United States government or funds collateralized by such obligations.

The pools’ board of directors consists of one member appointed by the Board of Education of each participating school district. All members of the pools’ board of directors has an equal vote in the administration of the pools’ activities and they are responsible for selection of management and have complete responsibility for all fiscal matters in the operation of the pools.

The market value of assets approximates the book value. This pooling plan allows the participating districts to set self-insurance retention amounts under the various purchased insurance policies. Types of coverage, self-insured retention and excess insurance are as follows:

Self-Insured Retentions

(per occurrence)

Excess Insurance

(per occurrence) Liability $150,000 $5,000,000 Property 100,000 75,000,000 Workers’ Compensation 300,000 1,000,000

(plus statutory)

As of June 30, 2011, the District has recorded equity in insurance pool of $632,680 in the General Fund to reflect the District’s equity in the insurance pool.

The pools are administered in accordance with the Colorado Pooling Statutes and insurance regulations of the Division of Insurance. Annual examinations by the Division of Insurance are conducted in accordance with statute. A designated custodial bank serves as the trustee for the funds of the self-insurance pools and limits their investments to government securities. Summit Point Consulting is the claims administrator as well as the pools’ administrator. Losses in the pool are adjusted by Summit Point Consulting.

The allocation of required premiums for the self-insurance pools is determined by the pooling agreements. Each district pays a pro rata portion of their average daily attendance entitlement for liability coverage and a pro rate portion of their property values for property coverage into the combined liability and property Pool, and a pro rata portion of their payroll for coverage in the workers’ compensation pool. The contributions are based on an overall budget, which is determined by the board of directors on an annual basis.

In developing a budget, the board of directors consults an independent actuary for a determination of expected losses for liability and workers’ compensation claims including a provision for incurred but not reported claims. Expected losses for property are determined by the amount that claims have depleted the pool from the previous year. Settled claims resulting from these risks have not exceeded insurance coverage in the past three fiscal years.

NOTE H – COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES

1. Defined Benefit Pension Plan

Plan Description The District contributes to the School Division Trust Fund (SDTF), a cost-sharing multiple-employer defined benefit pension plan administered by the Public Employees’ Retirement Association of Colorado (PERA). The SDTF provides retirement and disability, annual increases and death benefits for members of their beneficiaries. All employees of the District are members of the SDTF. Title 24, Article 51 of the Colorado Revised Statutes, as amended, assigns the authority to establish benefit provisions to the State Legislature. PERA issues a publicly available annual financial report that includes financial statements and required supplementary information for the SDTF. That report

A portion of the District’s contribution (1.02% of covered salary) is allocated for the Health Care Trust Fund. The District’s contributions to the SDTF for the years ending June 30, 2011, 2010, and 2009 were $5,465,143, $5,552,035, and $5,033,794, respectively, equal to their required contributions for each year.

2. Post Employment Healthcare Benefits

Plan Description The District contributes to the Health Care Trust Fund (HCTF), a cost-sharing multiple-employer post-employment healthcare plan administered by PERA. HCTF provides a healthcare premium subsidy to PERA participating benefit recipients and their eligible beneficiaries. Title 24, Article 51, Part 12 of the Colorado Revised Statutes, as amended, assigns the authority to establish the HCTF benefit provisions to the State Legislature. PERA issues a publicly available annual financial report that includes financial statements and required supplementary information for the HCTF. That report may be obtained by writing to Colorado PERA, 1301 Pennsylvania Street, Denver, Colorado 80203 or by calling PERA’s InfoLine at Denver metro area 303-832-9550 or 1-800-759-PERA (7372).

Funding Policy The District was required to contribute at a rate of 1.02% for all PERA members as set by statute. No member contributions are required. The contribution requirements for the District are established under Title 24, Article 51, Part 4 of the Colorado Revised Statutes, as amended. The apportionment of the contribution to the HCTF is established under Title 24, Article 51, Section 208 of the Colorado Revised Statutes, as amended. The District’s contributions to HCTF for the years ending June 30, 2011, 2010, and 2009 were $389,844, $422,122, and $410,665, respectively, equal to their required contributions for each year.

3. Taxpayer’s Bill of Rights (TABOR) Amendment

In November 1992, the voters of the State of Colorado approved Article X, Section 20 to the State Constitution. This amendment is referred to as the Taxpayer’s Bill of Rights (TABOR). TABOR contains tax, spending, revenue and debt limitations which apply to the State of Colorado and all local governments.

TABOR requires, with certain exceptions, voter approval prior to imposing new taxes, increasing a tax rate, imposing a mill levy that will produce property tax revenue in excess of the amount collected in the previous year adjusted by the growth factor, extending an expiring tax or implementing a tax policy change which directly causes a net tax revenue gain.

Except for bond refinancing at lower interest rates or adding employees to existing pension plans, TABOR specifically prohibits the creation of multiple-fiscal year debt or other financial obligations without voter approval or without irrevocably pledging present cash reserves for all future payments.

In November 1999, the voters approved a ballot issue authorizing the District to “…collect, retain and expend all excess revenues and other funds collected in the 1999-2000 budget year and in each subsequent budget year thereafter, notwithstanding the limitations of Article X, Section 20 of the Colorado Constitution or any other law, with the restriction that no local tax rate or property tax mill levy shall be increased without voter approval.”

TABOR requires the District to maintain an emergency reserve of 3 percent of fiscal year eligible expenditures. At June 30, 2011, the District reserves of $2,053,853 are recorded as reserved fund balance in the General Fund and as restricted net assets in the government-wide financial statements. The District believes it is in compliance with the requirement of TABOR. However, TABOR is complex and subject to interpretation. Ultimate interpretation may depend upon litigation and legislative guidance.

4. Operating Agreement

The District entered into an operating agreement with the City of Commerce City for a building, which was renovated to be a preschool. The agreement requires an annual payment of $12. The property will revert back to the city at the end of the agreement. The District is responsible for the utilities and maintenance on the property and those expenditures are included in the Preschool enterprise fund.

5. Grants

The District participates in a number of federal and state programs that are fully or partially funded by grants received from other governmental entities. Expenditures financed by grants are subject to audit by the appropriate grantor government. If expenditures are disallowed due to noncompliance with grant program regulations, the District may be required to reimburse the grantor government. At June 30, 2011, significant amounts of grant expenditures have not been audited but the District believes that disallowed expenditures, if any, based on subsequent audits will not have a material effect on the overall financial position of the District.

6. Litigation

The District is involved in various pending or threatened litigation. The outcome of the litigation cannot be predicted at this time.

NOTE I – ACCOUNTING CHANGE

The Governmental Accounting Standards Board (GASB) issued Statement No. 54, Fund Balance Reporting and Governmental Fund Type Definitions. This statement establishes accounting and financial reporting standards for all governments that report governmental funds. It establishes criteria for classifying fund balances into specifically defined classifications and clarifies definitions for governmental fund types. The District has adopted a formal policy specific to GASB 54 (see Note A) and it has implemented the standard with its fiscal year ended June 30, 2011.

NOTE J – BUDGETS AND BUDGETARY ACCOUNTING

The District adheres to the following procedures in establishing the budgetary data reflected in the financial statements:

Budgets are required by State law for all funds. The Superintendent submits to the Board of Education a proposed budget for the fiscal year commencing the following July 1. The budget includes proposed expenditures and the means of financing them. It also includes a statement describing the major objectives of the educational program to be undertaken by the District and the manner in which the budget proposes to fulfill such objectives.

Public hearings are conducted by the Board of Education to obtain public comments.

Prior to June 30, the budget is adopted by formal resolution. After the adoption of the budget, the board may review and change the budget at any time prior to January 31 of the fiscal year for which the budget was adopted. After January 31, the board shall not review or change the budget except that, where money for a specific purpose from other than ad valorem taxes becomes available to meet a contingency. Authorization to transfer budgeted amounts between departments within any fund and the reallocation of budget line items within any department in the General Fund rests with the Superintendent. Revisions that alter the total expenditures in any fund must be approved by the Board of Education. Appropriations are based on total funds expected to be available in each budget year, including beginning fund balances as established by the Board of Education.

Budgets for all fund types are adopted on a basis consistent with Generally Accepted Accounting Principles. Budgeted amounts reported in the accompanying financial statements are as originally adopted and as amended by the Superintendent and/or Board of Education throughout the year.

All appropriations lapse at the end of each fiscal year.

ADAMS COUNTY SCHOOL DISTRICT 14 NOTES TO SCHEDULE OF EXPENDITURES OF FEDERAL AWARDS

For the Year Ended June 30, 2011

107  

NOTE 1 – BASIS OF PRESENTATION

The accompanying Schedule of Expenditures of Federal Awards, which includes the federal grant activity of the Adams County School District 14 (District), is presented on the modified accrual basis of accounting, except for the U.S. Department of Education grants, which are presented on the full accrual basis of accounting. The information in this schedule is presented in accordance with the requirements of the Office of Management and Budget Circular A-133, Audits of States, Local Governments, and Non-Profit Organizations. Therefore, some amounts presented in this schedule may differ from amounts presented in, or used in, the preparation of the District’s financial statements for the year ended June 30, 2011.

NOTE 2 – NON-CASH

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. The commodities are recognized as expenses when used by the 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 deferred revenue.
