NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

JUNE 30, 2012

Note 1: Summary of significant accounting policies

Reporting entity

The Board of Education, a seven (7) member group, is the level of government which has responsibilities over all activities related to public elementary and secondary school education within the jurisdiction of the Springdale School District (“District”). There are no component units.

Fund accounting

Major governmental funds (per the regulatory basis of accounting) are defined as General and Special Revenue:

General Fund - The General Fund is the general operating fund and is used to account for all financial resources, except those required to be reported in another fund.

Special Revenue Fund - The Special Revenue Fund is 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 Special Revenue Fund includes federal revenues and related expenditures, restricted for specific educational programs or projects, including the District’s food services operations. The Special Revenue Fund also includes transfers from the general fund to supplement such programs.

Other governmental funds, presented in the aggregate, consist of the following:

Capital Projects Fund - The Capital Projects Fund is used to account for and report financial resources that are restricted, committed, or assigned to expenditure for capital outlays including the acquisition or construction of capital facilities and other capital assets. The Capital Projects Fund excludes those types of capital-related outflows financed by proprietary funds or for assets that will be held in trust for individuals, private organizations, or other governments.

Debt Service Fund - The Debt Service Fund is used to account for and report financial resources that are restricted, committed, or assigned to expenditures for principal and interest.

Fiduciary Fund types include the following:

Agency Funds – Agency Funds are used to report resources held by the reporting government in a purely custodial capacity (assets equal liabilities).

Measurement focus and basis of accounting

The financial statements are prepared in accordance with a regulatory basis of accounting (RBA), which is an Other Comprehensive Basis of Accounting (OCBOA). This basis of accounting is prescribed by Ark. Code Ann. 10-4-413(c), as provided in Act 2201 of 2005, and requires that financial statements be presented on a fund basis with, as a minimum, the general fund and special revenue fund presented separately and all other funds included in the audit presented in the aggregate. The law also stipulates that the financial statements consist of a balance sheet; a statement of revenues, expenditures, and changes in fund balances; a comparison of the final adopted budget to the actual expenditures for the general fund and special revenue funds of the entity; notes to financial statements; and a supplemental schedule of capital assets, including land, buildings, and equipment. The law further stipulates that the State Board of Education shall promulgate the rules necessary to administer the regulatory basis of presentation.

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

JUNE 30, 2012

Note 1: Summary of significant accounting policies (continued)

Measurement focus and basis of accounting (continued)

The RBA is not in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP). GAAP requiresthat basic financial statements present government-wide financial statements. Additionally, GAAP requires the following major concepts: Management’s Discussion and Analysis, accrual basis of accounting for government-wide financial statements, including depreciation expense, modified accrual basis of accounting for fund financial statements, separate financial statements for fiduciary fund types, separate identification of special and extraordinary items, inclusion of capital assets and debt in the financial statements, specific procedures for the identification of major governmental funds and applicable note disclosures. The RBA does not require government-wide financial statements or the previously identified concepts.

The accompanying financial statements are presented on a fund basis. A fund is defined as a fiscal and accounting entity with a self-balancing set of accounts, which are segregated for purposes of recording specific activities or attaining certain objectives. Revenues are reported by major sources and expenditures are reported by major function. Other transactions, which are not reported as revenues or expenditures, are reported as other financing sources and uses. Transactions related to the recording of installment contracts and capital leases are reported as other financing sources. Changes in private-purpose trust funds, if any, will be reflected in the notes to the financial statements.

Revenue recognition policies

Revenues are recognized when they become susceptible to accrual in accordance with the RBA, except for property taxes (see below).

Capital assets

Information on capital assets and related depreciation is reported in the accompanying Schedule of Capital Assets. Capital assets are capitalized at historical cost or estimated historical cost, if actual data is not available. Capital assets purchased are recorded as expenditures in the applicable fund at the time of purchase. Donated capital assets are reported at fair value when received. The District maintains a threshold level of $1,000 for capitalizing equipment. Library holdings are not capitalized.

No salvage value is taken into consideration for depreciation purposes. All capital assets, other than land and construction in progress, are depreciated using the straight-line method over the following useful lives:

Asset Class Estimated Useful Life in YearsImprovements/infrastructure 20Building 50Equipment 5-20

Property taxes

Property taxes are levied in November based on property assessments made between January 1 and May 31 and are an enforceable lien on January 1 for real property and June 1 for personal property. The tax records are opened on the first business day of March of the year following the levy date and are considered delinquent after October 15 of the same calendar year.

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

JUNE 30, 2012

Note 1: Summary of significant accounting policies (continued)

Property taxes (continued)

Prior to the year ending June 30, 2012, property taxes were accrued or deferred, as applicable, in accordance with guidelines issued by the Arkansas Department of Education (ADE), which were effective beginning with the fiscal year ended June 30, 2006. Arkansas Code § 6-20-401 defined revenue receipts of a school district and included forty percent (40%) of the proceeds of local taxes which are not pledged to secure bonded indebtedness or forty percent (40%) of the revenue from the uniform rate of tax whichever is greater collected in the succeeding calendar year, commonly known as 40% pullback, within that definition. The ADE determined that school districts must utilize the 40% pullback amount, as calculated by the ADE and reflected on the respective county’s abstract of assessments, in recording property tax revenue as follows:

If the amount of 40% pullback collected by June 30th was less than the calculated 40% pullback amount, the difference was accrued;

If the amount of 40% pullback collected by June 30th was more than the calculated 40% pullback amount, the excess was recorded as deferred taxes.

In March 2011, the General Assembly of the State of Arkansas passed Act 871 to amend Arkansas Code § 6-20-401 to clarify the definition of "revenue receipts of a school district". Act 871 is effective for years ending June 30, 2012 and thereafter. The Act eliminates the District’s requirement to defer property tax collections that exceed the 40% pullback (as defined above). Accordingly, the District recognized approximately $5.1 million in revenue on July 1, 2011 that was deferred at June 30, 2011 related to the 40% pullback requirements, but did not defer any property tax collections during the year ending June 30, 2012 under the new law.

Amendment No. 74 to the Arkansas Constitution established a uniform minimum property tax millage rate of 25 mills for maintenance and operation of public schools. Ark. Code Ann. 26-80-101 provides the uniform rate of tax (URT) shall be assessed and collected in the same manner as other school property taxes, but the net revenues from the URT shall be remitted to the State Treasurer and distributed by the State to the county treasurer of each county for distribution to the school districts in that county. For reporting purposes, URT revenues are considered property taxes.

Fund balance classifications

The Governmental Accounting Standards Board (GASB) released Statement 54 - "Fund Balance Reporting and Governmental Fund Type Definitions" (GASB 54) on March 11, 2009 which was effective for the District's fiscal year ending June 30, 2011. This Statement is intended to improve the usefulness of the amounts reported in fund balance by providing more structured classifications. Under GASB 54, fund balance is reported under the following five classifications:

1. Nonspendable Fund Balance - includes amounts that are not in a spendable form or are required to be maintained intact. The District does not have any nonspendable fund balance at year end.

2. Restricted Fund Balance includes amounts that can be spent only for the specific purposes stipulated by external resource providers, constitutionally, or through enabling legislation. The Restricted for State Programs and Restricted for Federal Programs balances reflect amounts restricted for specific state and federal programs as mandated by respective state and federal grant or funding agreements.

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

JUNE 30, 2012

Note 1: Summary of significant accounting policies (continued)

Fund balance classifications (continued)

3. Committed Fund Balance - includes amounts that can be used only for the specific purposes determined by a formal action of the District's highest level of decision-making authority (the Board of Education) and does not lapse at year end.

4. Assigned Fund Balance - includes amounts intended for a specific purpose by the Board of Education or by a District official that has been delegated authority to assign amounts. The District has capital projects assigned at year end for construction or other capital outlay projects. The District has scholarship funds assigned for scholarship programs.

5. Unassigned Fund Balance - includes any remaining fund balance that has not been reported in any other classification. This classification can also include negative amounts in other governmental funds, if expenditures incurred for specific purposes exceeded the amounts restricted, committed, or assigned to those purposes.

For the purposes of fund balance classification, the District’s policy is to have expenditures spent from restricted fund balance first, followed in order by committed fund balance (if any), assigned fund balance (if any) and lastly unassigned fund balance.

Budget and budgetary accounting

The District is required by state law to prepare an annual budget. The annual budget is prepared on a fiscal year basis. The District does not prepare and submit amended budgets during the fiscal year. The State Department of Education’s regulations allow for the cash basis or the modified accrual basis.

The District budgets intra-fund transfers. Significant variances may result in the comparison of transfers at the Statement of Revenues, Expenditures and Changes in Fund Balances - Budget and Actual -General and Special Revenue Funds - Regulatory Basis because only interfund transfers are reported at the Statement of Revenues, Expenditures and Changes in Fund Balances - Governmental Funds -Regulatory Basis.

Budgetary perspective differences are not considered to be significant, because the structure of the information utilized in preparing the budget and the applicable fund financial statements is essentially the same.

Note 2: Cash deposits with financial institutions

Cash deposits are carried at cost (carrying value). A comparison of the bank balance and carrying value is as follows:

Note 7: Retirement plans

Arkansas Teacher Retirement System

Plan description: The District contributes to the Arkansas Teacher Retirement System (ATRS), a cost-sharing multiple-employer defined benefit pension plan that covers all Arkansas public school employees, except certain nonteachers hired prior to July 1, 1989. ATRS provides retirement and disability benefits, annual cost-of-living adjustments, and death benefits to plan members and beneficiaries. Benefit and contribution provisions are established by State law and can be amended only by the Arkansas General Assembly. The Arkansas Teacher Retirement System issues a publicly available financial report that includes financial statements and required supplementary information for ATRS.

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

JUNE 30, 2012

Note 7: Retirement plans (continued) Arkansas Public Employees Retirement System (continued) Funding policy: PERS has contributory and non-contributory plans. Contributory members are required by law to contribute 5% of their salary. Each participating employer is required by law to contribute at a rate established by the Arkansas General Assembly. The current statutory employer rate is 4% of annual covered payroll. The District’s contributions to PERS for the years ended June 30, 2012, 2011 and 2010 was $5,710, $6,754 and $6,898, respectively, equal to the required contributions for each year. Note 8: Risk management The District is exposed to various risk of loss from torts; theft of, damage to and destruction of assets; errors and omissions; and natural disasters for which the District carries commercial insurance. Settled claims have not exceeded this commercial coverage in any of the three preceding years. The District is a member of the Arkansas School Board Association self-insurance program, a public entity risk pool currently operating a common risk management and insurance program for its members. The fund was created by members to formulate, develop and administer a program of self-funding for the fund’s membership, obtain lower costs for Workmen’s Compensation Coverage and develop a comprehensive loss control program. The District pays an annual premium to the fund for its Workmen’s Compensation Coverage. The Pool’s governing agreement specifies that the Pool will be self-sustaining through member premiums and will reissue through commercial carriers for claims in excess of specified stop loss amounts. Note 9: Litigation and contingencies The District participates in federally assisted grant programs. The District is potentially liable for expenditures which may be disallowed pursuant to the terms of these grant programs. Management is not aware of any material items of noncompliance which would result in the disallowance of program expenditures. Note 10: On behalf payments During the year ended June 30, 2012, health insurance premiums of $1,337,303 were paid by the Arkansas Department of Education to the Arkansas Employee Benefits Division on behalf of District employees. Note 11: Subsequent events The District issued $37,025,000 in refunding and construction bonds on September 1, 2012 with interest rates of 2.00% to 3.70% and a final maturity on June 1, 2041.
