PRELIMINARY OFFICIAL STATEMENT DATED JANUARY 16, 2014 NEW ISSUE—BOOK-ENTRY ONLY RATING: S&P: (Underlying) (See “RATING” herein)
In the opinion of Bond Counsel, assuming continuing compliance by the School District with certain covenants to comply with provisions of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the “Code”), and all regulations applicable thereunder, and subject to the conditions described in “TAX EXEMPTION AND OTHER TAX MATTERS” herein, interest on the Notes is excludable from gross income for federal income tax purposes and is not an item of tax preference for purposes of the federal alternative minimum tax imposed on individuals and corporations; however, such interest is taken into account in determining adjusted current earnings for the purpose of computing the alternative minimum tax imposed on corporations (as defined in the Code). Other provisions of the Code may affect the purchasers and holders of the Notes. Under the laws of the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania, as currently enacted and construed, the Notes are exempt from personal property taxes in Pennsylvania and the interest on the Notes is exempt from Pennsylvania personal income tax and Pennsylvania corporate net income tax.

C.S. Chs. 80-82 (the “Act”), of the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania (the “Commonwealth”).
PURPOSE OF THE ISSUE Proceeds of the Notes will be used to: (1) currently refund all of the School District’s outstanding General Obligation Notes, Series of 2004, currently outstanding in the principal amount of $15,645,000 (the “2004 Notes”), (2) advance refund all of the School District’s outstanding General Obligation Bonds, Series of 2009, currently outstanding in the principal amount of $3,420,000 (the “2009 Bonds”), (3) advance refund a portion of the School District’s outstanding General Obligation Bonds, Series of 2010, currently outstanding in the principal amount of $9,380,000 (the “2010 Bonds”) of which $1,235,000 shall be refunded (the “Refunded 2010 Bonds”); and (4) pay the costs of issuing the Notes. Current Refunding of the 2004 Notes
Subject only to the completion of delivery of, and settlement for, the Notes, the School District authorizes and directs a portion of the Notes to be irrevocably deposited in an escrow fund (the “2004 Escrow Fund”) established with Manufacturers and Traders Trust Company, as paying agent for the 2004 Notes, under and pursuant to the terms of the Escrow Agreement with the School District (the “Escrow Agreement”), dated as of March 6, 2014. A portion of the proceeds of the Notes so deposited will be used to purchase direct obligations of the United States of America, State and Local Government Series, which will mature and earn interest at such rates as will provide sufficient funds to pay the interest, maturing principal and the redemption price of the 2004 Notes, all as set forth in the Escrow Agreement. The 2004 Notes will be called for optional redemption on June 1, 2014, at a redemption price of 100% of the principal amount thereof plus accrued interest thereon, pursuant to the optional redemption provisions applicable to the 2004 Notes. Advance Refunding of the 2009 Bonds

A portion of the proceeds of the Notes so deposited will be used to purchase direct obligations of the United States of America, State and Local Government Series, which will mature and earn interest at such rates as will provide sufficient funds to pay the interest, maturing principal and the redemption price of the 2009 Bonds, all as set forth in the Escrow Agreement. The 2009 Bonds will be called for optional redemption on July 15, 2014, at a redemption price of 100% of the principal amount thereof plus accrued interest thereon, pursuant to the optional redemption provisions applicable to the 2009 Bonds. Advance Refunding of a Portion of the 2010 Bonds
Subject only to the completion of delivery of, and settlement for, the Notes, the School District authorizes and directs a portion of the Notes to be irrevocably deposited in an escrow fund (the “2010 Escrow Fund”) established with TD Bank, N.A., as paying agent for the 2010 Bonds, under terms of an Escrow Agreement with the School District (the “2010 Escrow Agreement, and together with the Escrow Agreement, the “Escrow Agreements”), dated as of March 6, 2014. A portion of the proceeds of the Notes so deposited will be used to purchase direct obligations of the United States of America, State and Local Government Series, which will mature and earn interest at such rates as will provide sufficient funds to pay the interest, maturing principal and the redemption price of the Refunded 2010 Bonds, all as set forth in the Escrow Agreement. The Refunded 2010 Bonds will be called for optional redemption on February 1, 2016, at a redemption price of 100% of the principal amount thereof plus accrued interest thereon, pursuant to the optional redemption provisions applicable to the Refunded 2010 Bonds. *Estimate, subject to change.

THE NOTES Description The Notes will be issued in fully registered form in denominations of $5,000 and integral multiples thereof, will be in the aggregate principal amount of $18,150,000*, will be dated as of March 6, 2014, and will bear interest at the rates and mature in the amounts and on the dates set forth on the inside front cover of this Preliminary Official Statement. Interest on each of the Notes will be payable initially on June 1, 2014, and, thereafter, semiannually on June 1 and December 1 of each year until the maturity date of such Note or, if such Note is redeemable and is called for redemption prior to maturity, until the date fixed for redemption thereof, if payment of the redemption price has been duly made or provided for. When issued, the Notes will be registered in the name of Cede & Co., as nominee for The Depository Trust Company (“DTC”), New York, New York. Purchasers of the Notes (the “Beneficial Owners”) will not receive any physical delivery of Note certificates, and beneficial ownership of the Notes will be evidenced only by book entries. See “BOOK – ENTRY ONLY SYSTEM” herein. Payment of Principal and Interest So long as Cede & Co., as nominee of DTC, is the registered owner of the Notes, payments of principal of, redemption premium, if any, and interest on the Notes, when due, are to be made to DTC and all such payments shall be valid and effective to satisfy fully and to discharge the obligations of the School District with respect to, and to the extent of, principal, redemption premium, if any, and interest so paid. If the use of the Book-Entry Only System for the Notes is discontinued for any reason, Note certificates will be issued to the Beneficial Owners of the Notes and payment of principal, redemption premium, if any, and interest on the Notes shall be made as described in the following paragraphs: The principal of the Notes, when due upon maturity or upon any earlier redemption, will be paid to the registered owners of the Notes, or registered assigns, upon surrender of the Notes to TD Bank, N.A. (the “Paying Agent”), acting as paying agent and sinking fund depositary for the Notes, at its corporate trust office in Harrisburg, Pennsylvania or Cherry Hill, New Jersey (or to any successor paying agent at its designated office(s)).
*Estimate, subject to change.

Interest on each of the Notes will be payable to the registered owner of such Note from the interest payment date next preceding the date of registration and authentication of the Note, unless: (a) such Note is registered and authenticated as of an interest payment date, in which event such Note shall bear interest from said interest payment date, or (b) such Note is registered and authenticated after a Record Date (hereinafter defined) and before the next succeeding interest payment date, in which event such Note shall bear interest from such interest payment date, or (c) such Note is registered and authenticated on or prior to the Record Date preceding June 1, 2014, in which event such Note shall bear interest from March 6, 2014, or (d) as shown by the records of the Paying Agent, interest on such Note shall be in default, in which event such Note shall bear interest from the date to which interest was last paid on such Note. Interest on each Note will be payable by check drawn on the Paying Agent, which shall be mailed to the registered owner whose name and address shall appear, at the close of business on the fifteenth (15th) calendar day (whether or not a day on which the Paying Agent is open for business) next preceding each interest payment date (the “Record Date”), on the registration books maintained by the Paying Agent, irrespective of any transfer or exchange of the Note subsequent to such Record Date and prior to such interest payment date, unless the School District shall be in default in payment of interest due on such interest payment date. In the event of any such default, such defaulted interest shall be payable to the person in whose name the Note is registered at the close of business on a special record date for the payment of such defaulted interest established by notice mailed by the Paying Agent to the registered owner of such Note not less than fifteen (15) days preceding such special record date. Such notice shall be mailed to the person in whose name such Note is registered at the close of business on the fifth (5th) day preceding the date of mailing. If the date for payment of the principal of or interest on any Notes shall be a Saturday, Sunday, legal holiday or a day on which banking institutions in the Commonwealth are authorized or required by law or executive order to close, then the date for payment of such principal or interest shall be the next succeeding day which is not a Saturday, Sunday, legal holiday or a day on which such banking institutions are authorized or required to close, and payment on such date shall have the same force and effect as if made on the nominal date established for such payment. Transfer, Exchange and Registration of Notes Subject to the provisions described below under “Book-Entry Only System,” each of the Notes are transferable or exchangeable by the registered owners, thereof upon surrender of Notes to the Paying Agent, accompanied by a written instrument or instruments in form, with instructions, and with guaranty of signature satisfactory to the Paying Agent, duly executed by the registered owner of such Note or his attorney-in-fact or legal representative. The Paying Agent shall enter any transfer of ownership of Notes in the registration books and shall authenticate and deliver at the earliest practicable time in the name of the transferee or transferees a new fully registered Note or Notes of authorized denominations of the same series, maturity and interest rate for the aggregate principal amount which the registered owner is entitled to receive. The School District and the Paying Agent may deem and treat the registered owner of any Note as the absolute owner thereof (whether or not a Note shall be overdue) for the purpose of receiving payment of or on account of principal and interest and for all other purposes, and the School District and the Paying Agent shall not be affected by any notice to the contrary. The School District and the Paying Agent shall not be required (a) to register the transfer of or exchange any Notes then considered for redemption during a period beginning at the close of business on the fifteenth (15th) day next preceding any date of selection of Notes to be redeemed and ending at the close of business on the day on which the applicable notice of redemption is mailed or (b) to register the transfer of or exchange any portion of any Note selected for redemption until after the redemption date. Notes may be exchanged for a like aggregate principal amount of Notes of other authorized denominations of the same series, maturity and interest rate. Commonwealth Enforcement of Debt Service Payments Section 633 of the Pennsylvania Public School Code of 1949, as amended by Act 150 of 1975, and as further amended and supplemented (the “Public School Code”), presently provides that in all cases where the board of school directors of any school district fails to pay or to provide for the payment of any indebtedness at date of maturity or date of mandatory redemption or on any sinking fund deposit date, or any interest due on such indebtedness on any interest payment date or on any sinking fund deposit date, in accordance with the schedule under which the Notes were issued, the Secretary of Education shall notify such board of school directors of its obligation and shall withhold out of any Commonwealth appropriation due such school district an amount equal to the sum of the principal amount maturing or subject to mandatory redemption and interest owing by such school district, or sinking fund deposit due by such school district, and shall pay over the amount so withheld to the bank or other person acting as sinking fund depository for such Note issue. These withholding provisions are not part of any contract with the holders of the Notes, and may be amended or repealed by future legislation. There can be no assurance, however, that any payments pursuant to this withholding provision will be made by the date on which such payments are due to the Noteholders. The effectiveness of Section 633 of the Public School Code may be limited by the application of other withholding provisions contained in the Public School Code, such as provisions for withholding and paying over of appropriations for payment of unpaid teachers’ salaries. Enforcement may also be limited by bankruptcy, insolvency, or other laws or equitable principles affecting the enforcement of creditors’ rights generally.

Security The Notes will be general obligations of the School District, payable from its tax and other general revenues. The School District has covenanted that it will provide in its budget for each year, and will appropriate from its general revenues in each such year, the amount of the debt service on the Notes for such year, and will duly and punctually pay or cause to be paid from its Sinking Fund, as hereinafter defined, or any other of its revenues or funds, the principal of each of the Notes and the interest thereon at the dates and place and in the manner stated on the Notes, and for such budgeting, appropriation and payment the School District irrevocably has pledged its full faith, credit and taxing power, which taxing power includes the power to levy ad valorem taxes on all taxable property within the School District within the limits provided by law (see “Taxing Powers of the School District” herein). The Act presently provides for enforcement of debt service payments as hereinafter described (see “Defaults and Remedies” herein), and the Public School Code presently provides for the withholding and application of subsidies in the event of failure to pay debt service (see “Commonwealth Enforcement of Debt Service Payments” herein). Sinking Fund A sinking fund for the payment of debt service on the Notes, designated as the “Sinking Fund – Central Dauphin School District, Dauphin County, Pennsylvania - Series of 2014” (the “Sinking Fund”), has been created under the Resolution and is maintained by the Paying Agent, as sinking fund depositary. The School District shall deposit in the Sinking Fund a sufficient sum not later than the date when interest and/or principal is to become due on the Notes so that on each payment date the Sinking Fund will contain an amount which, together with any other funds available therein, is sufficient to pay, in full, interest and/or principal then due on the Notes. The Sinking Fund shall be held by the Paying Agent, as sinking fund depositary, and invested by the Paying Agent in such securities or shall be deposited in such funds or accounts as are authorized by the Act, upon direction of the School District. Such deposits and securities shall be in the name of the School District, but subject to withdrawal or collection only by the Paying Agent, as sinking fund depositary, and such deposits and securities, together with the interest thereon, shall be a part of the Sinking Fund. The Paying Agent, as sinking fund depositary, is authorized without further order from the School District to pay from the Sinking Fund the principal of and interest on the Notes, as and when due and payable.
BOOK-ENTRY ONLY SYSTEM
The Depository Trust Company (“DTC”), New York, NY, will act as securities depository for the Notes. The Notes will be issued as fully-registered Notes registered in the name of Cede & Co. (DTC’s partnership nominee) or such other name as may be requested by an authorized representative of DTC. One fully-registered Note certificate will be issued for each maturity of the Notes, each in the aggregate principal amount of such issue maturity, and will be deposited with DTC. If, however, the aggregate principal amount of any issue exceeds $500 million, one certificate will be issued with respect to each $500 million of principal amount, and an additional certificate will be issued with respect to any remaining principal amount of such issue.
DTC, the world’s largest securities depository, is a limited-purpose trust company organized under the New York Banking Law, a
“banking organization” within the meaning of the New York Banking Law, a member of the Federal Reserve System, a “clearing corporation” within the meaning of the New York Uniform Commercial Code, and a “clearing agency” registered pursuant to the provisions of Section 17A of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934. DTC holds and provides asset servicing for over 3.5 million issues of U.S. and non-U.S. equity issues, corporate and municipal debt issues, and money market instruments (from over 100 countries) that DTC’s participants (“Direct Participants”) deposit with DTC. DTC also facilitates the post-trade settlement among Direct Participants of sales and other securities transactions in deposited securities, through electronic computerized book-entry transfers and pledges between Direct Participants’ accounts. This eliminates the need for physical movement of securities certificates. Direct Participants include both U.S. and non-U.S. securities brokers and dealers, banks, trust companies, clearing corporations, and certain other organizations. DTC is a wholly-owned subsidiary of The Depository Trust & Clearing Corporation (“DTCC”). DTCC is the holding company for DTC, National Securities Clearing Corporation and Fixed Income Clearing Corporation, all of which are registered clearing agencies. DTCC is owned by the users of its regulated subsidiaries. Access to the DTC system is also available to others such as both U.S. and non-U.S. securities brokers and dealers, banks, trust companies, and clearing corporations that clear through or maintain a custodial relationship with a Direct Participant, either directly or indirectly ("Indirect Participants"). DTC has a Standard & Poor’s rating of AA+. The DTC Rules applicable to its Participants are on file with the Securities and Exchange Commission. More information about DTC can be found at www.dtcc.com.
Purchases of Notes under the DTC system must be made by or through Direct Participants, which will receive a credit for the Notes on DTC’s records. The Ownership interest of each actual purchaser of each Note (“Beneficial Owner”) is in turn to be recorded on the Direct and Indirect Participants’ records. Beneficial Owners will not receive written confirmation from DTC of their purchase. Beneficial Owners are, however, expected to receive written confirmations providing details of the transaction, as well as periodic statements of their holdings, from the Direct or Indirect Participant through which the Beneficial Owner entered into the transaction. Transfers of ownership interests in the Notes are to be accomplished by entries made on the books of Direct and Indirect Participants acting on behalf of Beneficial Owners. Beneficial Owners will not receive certificates rep resenting their ownership interests in Notes, except in the event that use of the book-entry system for the Notes is discontinued.
5
To facilitate subsequent transfers, all Notes deposited by Direct Participants with DTC are registered in the name of DTC’s partnership
nominee, Cede & Co., or such other name as may be requested by an authorized representative of DTC. The deposit of Notes with DTC and their registration in the name of Cede & Co. or such other DTC nominee do not affect any change in beneficial ownership. DTC has no knowledge of the actual Beneficial Owners of the Notes; DTC’s records reflect only the identity of the Direct Participants to whose accounts such Notes are credited, which may or may not be the Beneficial Owners. The Direct and Indirect Participants will remain responsible for keeping account of their holdings on behalf of their customers.
Conveyance of notices and other communications by DTC to Direct Participants, by Direct Participants to Indirect Participants, and by
Direct Participants and Indirect Participants to Beneficial Owners will be governed by arrangements among them, subject to any statutory or regulatory requirements as may be in effect from time to time. Beneficial Owners of Notes may wish to take certain steps to augment the transmission to them of notices of significant events with respect to the Notes, such as redemptions, tenders, defaults, and proposed amendments to the Note documents. For example, Beneficial Owners of Notes may wish to ascertain that the nominee holding the Notes for their benefit has agreed to obtain and transmit notices to Beneficial Owners. In the alternative, Beneficial Owners may wish to provide their names and addresses to the registrar and request that copies of notices be provided directly to them.
Redemption notices shall be sent to DTC. If less than all of the Notes within an issue are being redeemed, DTC’s practice is to determine
by lot the amount of the interest of each Direct Participant in such issue to be redeemed.
Neither DTC nor Cede & Co. (nor any other DTC nominee) will consent or vote with respect to Notes unless authorized by a Direct Participant in accordance with DTC’s MMI Procedures. Under its usual procedures, DTC mails an Omnibus Proxy to Issuer as soon as possible after the record date. The Omnibus Proxy assigns Cede & Co.’s consenting or voting rights to those Direct Participants to whose accounts Notes are credited on the record date (identified in a listing attached to the Omnibus Proxy).
Redemption proceeds, distributions, and dividend payments on the Notes will be made to Cede & Co., or such other nominee as may be requested by an authorized representative of DTC. DTC’s practice is to credit Direct Participants’ accounts upon DTC’s receipt of funds and corresponding detail information from the School District or Paying Agent, on payable date in accordance with their respective holdings shown on DTC’s records. Payments by Participants to Beneficial Owners will be governed by standing instructions and customary practices, as is the case with securities held for the accounts of customers in bearer form or registered in “street name,” and will be the responsibility of such Participant and not of DTC, the Paying Agent, or the School District, subject to any statutory or regulatory requirements as may be in effect from time to time. Payment of redemption proceeds, distributions, and dividend payments to Cede & Co. (or such other nominee as may be requested by an authorized representative of DTC) is the responsibility of the School District or Paying Agent, disbursement of such payments to Direct Participants will be the responsibility of DTC, and disbursement of such payments to the Beneficial Owners will be the responsibility of Direct and Indirect Participants.
DTC may discontinue providing its services as depository with respect to the Notes at any time by giving reasonable notice to the School District or Paying Agent. Under such circumstances, in the event that a successor depository is not obtained, Note certificates are required to be printed and delivered.
The School District may decide to discontinue use of the system of book-entry-only transfers through DTC (or a successor securities
depository). In that event, Note certificates will be printed and delivered to DTC.
The information in this section concerning DTC and DTC’s book-entry system has been obtained from sources that the School District believes to be reliable, but the School District takes no responsibility for the accuracy thereof.
NEITHER THE SCHOOL DISTRICT NOR THE PAYING AGENT WILL HAVE ANY RESPONSIBILITY OR OBLIGATION TO
ANY DTC PARTICIPANT, INDIRECT PARTICIPANT OR BENEFICIAL OWNER OR ANY OTHER PERSON WITH RESPECT TO: (1) THE NOTES; (2) THE ACCURACY OF ANY RECORDS MAINTAINED BY DTC OR ANY DTC PARTICIPANT OR INDIRECT PARTICIPANT; (3) THE PAYMENT BY DTC OR ANY DTC PARTICIPANT OR INDIRECT PARTICIPANT OF ANY AMOUNT DUE TO ANY BENEFICIAL OWNER IN RESPECT OF THE PRINCIPAL OR REDEMPTION PRICE OF OR INTEREST ON THE NOTES; (4) THE DELIVERY TO ANY BENEFICIAL OWNER BY DTC OR ANY DTC PARTICIPANT OR INDIRECT PARTICIPANT OF ANY NOTICE WHICH IS REQUIRED OR PERMITTED UNDER THE TERMS OF THE RESOLUTION TO BE GIVEN TO NOTEHOLDERS; (5) THE SELECTION OF THE BENEFICIAL OWNERS TO RECEIVE PAYMENT IN THE EVENT OF ANY PARTIAL REDEMPTION OF THE NOTES; OR (6) ANY OTHER ACTION TAKEN BY DTC AS NOTEHOLDER.
The School District and the Paying Agent cannot give any assurances that DTC or the Participants will distribute payments of the
principal or redemption price of and interest on the Notes paid to DTC or its nominee, as the registered owner of the Notes, or any redemption or other notices, to the Beneficial Owners or that they will do so on a timely basis, or that DTC will serve and act in the manner described in this Preliminary Official Statement.
6
REDEMPTION OF NOTES Optional Redemption The Notes are not subject to optional redemption prior to maturity. Mandatory Redemption Bidders may elect to structure the issue to include term Notes, which term Notes, if selected by the bidder, will be subject to mandatory redemption prior to maturity, in the years and amounts as shown in the Invitation to Bid dated as of January 16, 2014, as the same may be amended from time to time (the “Invitation to Bid”), upon payment of the principal amount of Notes to be redeemed, together with accrued interest to the date fixed for redemption, or upon maturity, as applicable. Notes to be redeemed shall be selected by lot by the Paying Agent. In lieu of such Mandatory Redemption, the Paying Agent, on behalf of the School District, may purchase from money in the Sinking Fund, at a price not to exceed the principal amount plus accrued interest, or the School District may tender to the Paying Agent, all or part of the Notes subject to being drawn for redemption in any such year.
THE SCHOOL DISTRICT Introduction The School District is located in Dauphin County, adjacent to the City of Harrisburg, the Capitol of the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania. The School District encompasses an area of 118.2 square miles in Dauphin County and is comprised of three boroughs and four townships: the Boroughs of Dauphin, Paxtang and Penbrook, and the Townships of Lower Paxton, Middle Paxton, Swatara and West Hanover. The area is characterized as a residential suburb with substantial commercial development. The 2010 population of the School District, according to the U.S. Census Bureau, is 90,401 persons. Organization and Administration Pursuant to the provisions of the School District Reorganization Law (Act 299 of the General Assembly of the Commonwealth, approved August 8, 1963, P.L. 564), school districts in Pennsylvania were required to reorganize effective July 1, 1966. The former school districts of the Boroughs of Dauphin, Paxtang and Penbrook and the Townships of Lower Paxton, Middle Paxton, Swatara and West Hanover formed the Central Dauphin School District. The Central Dauphin School District assumed all rights and obligations of the former school districts. The School District is governed by a board of nine School Directors (the “School Board”) who are residents within the School District and who are elected for four-year terms on a staggered basis. The daily operations and management of the School District are performed by a central administrative staff which is led by the School District Superintendent who is appointed by the School Board. The Superintendent is supported by a Board Secretary, Director of Business Affairs and Assistant Superintendent, which are further supported by coordinators and supervisors in specialty fields.

SCHOOL DISTRICT FINANCES Introduction The School District budgets and expends funds according to procedures mandated by the Pennsylvania Department of Education. An annual operating budget is prepared by the Superintendent and Director of Business Affairs and submitted to the School Board for approval prior to the beginning of the fiscal year on July 1. Financial Reporting The financial statements of the School District are prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. The School District’s reporting entity applies all relevant Governmental Accounting Standards Board (GASB) pronouncements. The government-wide and proprietary fund financial statements apply Financial Accounting Standards Board pronouncements and Accounting Principles Board opinions issued on or before November 30, 1989, unless those pronouncements conflict with or contradict GASB pronouncements, in which case, GASB prevails. The government wide statements report using the economic resources measurement focus and the accrual basis of accounting generally including the reclassification or elimination of internal activity (between or within funds). The School District utilizes the modified accrual basis of accounting under which expenditures other than interest on long term debt are recorded when incurred and revenues are recorded as received in cash unless susceptible to accrual. The School District’s financial statements are audited annually by a firm of independent certified public accountants, as required by Commonwealth law. Zelenkofske Axelrod LLC, of Harrisburg, Pennsylvania currently serves as the auditor. Budgeting Process as modified by Act 1 of 2006 (Taxpayer Relief Act)
In General. School districts budget and expend funds according to procedures mandated by the Pennsylvania Department of Education (“PDE”). An annual operating budget is prepared by school district administrative officials on a uniform form furnished by PDE and submitted to the board of school directors for approval prior to the beginning of each fiscal year on which commences July 1.
Procedures for Adoption of the Annual Budget. Unless the Simplified Procedures described below are utilized, under Pennsylvania Act No. 1 of the Special Session of 2006, as amended by Act 25 of 2011 (together “The Taxpayer Relief Act” or “Act 1”) all school districts of the first class A, second class, third class and fourth class must adopt a preliminary budget (which must include estimated revenues and expenditures and proposed tax rates) no later than 90 days prior to the date of the primary election immediately preceding the beginning of each fiscal year. This preliminary budget must be printed and made available for public inspection at least 20 days prior to its adoption; the board of school directors may hold a public hearing on the budget; and the board must give at least 10 days’ public notice of its intent to adopt the preliminary budget prior to its adoption. The board of school directors shall print the final budget and make it available for public inspection at least 20 days prior to its adoption and shall give public notice of its intent to adopt the final budget at least 10 days prior to adoption, and may hold a public hearing prior to adoption. Guidance from PDE suggests that the preliminary budget be converted to a proposed budget adopted by the board of school directors at least 30 days prior to the adoption of the final budget as required by the School Code. The School District follows the requirements of Act 1 and the guidance of PDE pursuant to the requirements of the Public School Code.
If the adopted preliminary budget includes an increase in the rate of any tax levy, the preliminary budget must be submitted to PDE no later than 85 days prior to the date of the election immediately preceding the fiscal year. PDE is to compare the proposed percentage increase in the rate of any tax with the school district’s Index (see “The Taxpayer Relief Act (Act 1)” herein) and within 10 days of the receipt of the information about the preliminary budget, but not later than 75 days prior to the upcoming election, inform the school district whether the proposed percentage increase is less than or equal to the Index. If PDE determines that a proposed tax increase will exceed the Index, the school district must reduce the proposed tax increase, seek voter approval for the tax increase at the upcoming election, or seek approval to utilize one of the referendum exceptions authorized under The Taxpayer Relief Act.
With respect to the utilization of any of the Taxpayer Relief Act referendum exceptions for which PDE approval is required (see “The Taxpayer Relief Act (Act 1)” herein), the school district must publish notice of its intent to seek PDE approval not less than one week before submitting its request for approval to PDE and, if PDE determines to schedule a public hearing on the request, a notice of the date, time and place of such hearing. PDE is required by the Taxpayer Relief Act to rule on the school district’s request and inform the school district of its decision no later than 55 days prior to the upcoming election so that, if PDE denies the school district’s request, the school district may submit a referendum question to the local election officials at least 50 days before the upcoming election, if it so chooses.
If a school district seeks voter approval to increase taxes at a rate higher than the applicable Index, whether or not it first seeks approval to utilize one of the referendum exceptions available under the Taxpayer Relief Act, and the referendum question is not approved by a majority of the voters voting on the question, the board of school directors may not approve an increase in the tax rate greater than the applicable Index.
9
Simplified Procedures in Certain Cases. The above budgetary procedures will not apply to a school district if the board of school directors adopts a resolution no later than 110 days prior to the election immediately preceding the upcoming fiscal year declaring that it will not increase any tax at a rate that exceeds the Index and that a tax increase at or below the rate of the Index will be sufficient to balance its budget. In that case, the Taxpayer Relief Act requires only that the proposed annual budget be prepared and approved at least 30 days, and made available for public inspection at least 20 days, prior to its adoption, and that at least ten (10) days’ public notice be given of the board’s intent to adopt the annual budget. No referendum exceptions are available to a school district adopting such a resolution. Summary and Discussion of Financial Results A summary of the School District’s General Fund balance sheet and changes in fund balances are presented in Tables 3 and 4. Table 5 shows revenues and expenditures for the past five years and the 2012-13 budget. The budget for the 2012-13 school year, as adopted June 24, 2013, projected a balanced budget of $162,468,383 for revenue and expenditures.

TAXING POWERS OF THE SCHOOL DISTRICT In General Subject to certain limitations imposed by the Taxpayer Relief Act, Act No. 1 of the Special Session of 2006 (see below), the School District is empowered by the School Code and other statutes to levy the following taxes:
1. A basic annual tax on all real property taxable for school purposes, not to exceed 25 mills on each dollar of assessed valuation, to be used for general school purposes. 2. An unlimited ad valorem tax on the property taxable for school purposes to provide funds:
a. for minimum salaries and increments of the teaching and supervisory staff;
b. to pay rentals due any municipality authority or non-profit corporation or due the State Public School Building Authority;
c. to pay interest and principal on any indebtedness incurred pursuant to the Local Government Unit Debt Act, or any prior or
subsequent act governing the incurrence of indebtedness of the school district; and
d. to pay for the amortization of a Note or note issue which provided a school building prior to the first Monday of July, 1959.
3. An annual per capita tax on each resident or inhabitant over 18 years of age of not more than $5.00. 4. Additional taxes subject to division with other political subdivisions authorized to levy similar taxes on the same person, subject,
business, transaction or privilege, under Act No. 511, enacted December 31, 1965, as amended (“The Local Tax Enabling Act”). These taxes, which may include, among others, an additional per capita tax, a wage and other earned income tax, a real estate transfer tax, a gross receipts tax, a local services tax and an occupation tax, shall not exceed, in the aggregate, an amount equal to the product of the market valuation of real estate in the School District (as certified by the State Tax Equalization Board of the Commonwealth – “STEB”) multiplied by twelve mills. All local taxing authorities are required by the Local Tax Enabling Act to exempt disabled veterans and members of the armed forces reserve who are called to active duty at any time during the tax year from any local services tax and to exempt from any local services tax levied at a rate in excess of $10 those persons whose total income and net profits from all sources within the political subdivision is less than $12,000 for the tax year. The Local Tax Enabling Act also authorizes, but does not require, taxing authorities to exempt from per capita, occupation, and earned income taxes and any local services tax levied at a rate of $10 or less per year, any person whose total income from all sources is less than $12,000 per year (which include full time college students with respect to the per capita tax).
13
The Taxpayer Relief Act (Act 1) Under the Taxpayer Relief Act (Act 1), a school district may not levy any tax for the support of the public schools which was not levied in the previous fiscal year, raise the rate of any earned income and net profits tax if already imposed under the authority of the Local Tax Enabling Act, or increase the rate of any tax for school purposes by more than the Index (defined below), unless in each case either (a) such increase is approved by the voters in the school district at a public referendum or (b) one of the exceptions summarized below is applicable and the use of such exception is approved by PDE:
1. to pay interest and principal on indebtedness incurred (i) prior to September 4, 2004, in the case of a school district which had elected to become subject to the provisions of the prior Homeowner Tax Relief Act, Act 72 of 2004 (“Act 72”), or (ii) prior to June 27, 2006, in the case of a school district which had not elected to become subject to Act 72 (as in the case of the School District); to pay interest and principal on any indebtedness approved by the voters at referendum (electoral debt); and to pay interest and principal on debt refunding or refinancing debt for which one of the above exceptions is permitted, as long as the refunding or refinancing incurs no additional debt other than for costs and expenses related to the refunding or refinancing and the funding of appropriate debt service reserves;
2. to pay costs incurred in providing special education programs and services to students with disabilities, under specified circumstances; and
3. to make payments into the State Public School Employees’ Retirement System when the increase in the estimated payments
between the current year and the upcoming year is greater than the Index, as determined by PDE in accordance with the provisions of Act 1.
Any revenue derived from an increase in the rate of any tax allowed under the exception numbered 3 above may not exceed the anticipated dollar amount of the expenditure, and any revenue derived from an increase in the rate of any tax allowed pursuant to any other exception enumerated above may not exceed the rate increase required, as determined by the court or PDE, as the case may be. If a school district’s petition or request to increase taxes by more than the Index pursuant to one or more of the allowable exceptions is not approved, the school district may submit the proposed tax increase to a referendum.
The Index (to be determined and reported by PDE by September of each year for application to the following fiscal year) is the average of the percentage increase in the statewide average weekly wage, as determined by the State Department of Labor and Industry for the preceding calendar year, and the employment cost index for elementary and secondary schools, as reported by the federal Bureau of Labor Statistics for the preceding 12-month period beginning July 1 and ending June 30. If and when a school district has a Market Value/Income Aid Ratio greater than 0.40 for the prior school year, however, the Index Any revenue derived from an increase in the rate of any tax allowed under the exception numbered 3 above may not exceed the anticipated dollar amount of the expenditure, and any revenue derived from an increase in the rate of any tax allowed pursuant to any other exception enumerated above may not exceed the rate increase required, as determined by the court or PDE, as the case may be. If a school district’s petition or request to increase taxes by more than the Index pursuant to one or more of the allowable exceptions is not approved, the school district may submit the proposed tax increase to a referendum. The Index (to be determined and reported by PDE by September of each year for application to the following fiscal year) is the average of the percentage increase in the statewide average weekly wage, as determined by the State Department of Labor and Industry for the preceding calendar year, and the employment cost index for elementary and secondary schools, as reported by the federal Bureau of Labor Statistics for the preceding 12-month period beginning July 1 and ending June 30. If and when a school district has a Market Value/Income Aid Ratio greater than 0.40 for the prior school year, however, the Index is adjusted upward by multiplying the unadjusted Index by the sum of 0.75 and such Aid Ratio. In accordance with Act 1, the School District put a referendum question on the ballot at the May, 15, 2007, primary election seeking voter approval to levy (or increase the rate of) an earned income and net profits tax (“EIT”) or a personal income tax (“PIT”) and use the proceeds to reduce local real estate taxes by a homestead and farmstead exclusion. The referendum was NOT approved by the voters. A board of school directors may submit, but is not required to submit, a referendum question to the voters at the municipal election in 2009 or any later year seeking approval to levy or increase the rate of an EIT or a PIT for the purpose of funding homestead and farmstead exclusions, but the proposed rate of the EIT or PIT shall not exceed the rate that is required to provide the maximum homestead and farmstead exclusions allowable under law.
14
The School District previously elected to become subject to the annual tax increase limitations imposed by former Pennsylvania Act 72 of 2004 (“Act 72”) (Act 72 was repealed by Act 1), however, the Notes represent indebtedness authorized (“incurred”) by the board of school directors prior to the effective date of former Act 72. Consequently, the School District is entitled by Act 1 to apply to the Pennsylvania Department of Education (PDE) for approval to utilize an Act 1 referendum exception, if and to the extent a tax increase greater than the Index is needed to pay the principal and interest on the Notes in any particular fiscal year (see “The Taxpayer Relief Act” and “Budgeting Process in School Districts under the Taxpayer Relief Act” herein). Act 1 provides that PDE shall approve a school district’s request if a review of the data demonstrates that the school district qualifies for the exception sought and the sum of the dollar amounts of all exceptions for which the school district qualifies is not more than what is necessary to balance the budget after giving effect to the revenue to be raised by the allowable tax increase under the Index. There can be no assurance; however, that approval will be given by PDE to utilize a referendum exception in any future fiscal year or years. Status of the Notes Under Act 1 The Notes described in this Preliminary Official Statement are being issued to refund indebtedness that was incurred by the School District under the Local Government Unit Debt Act prior to June 27, 2006, the effective date of the Taxpayer Relief Act. The School District already has levied and has in place sufficient tax millage to provide for payment of the maximum annual debt service on the indebtedness being refunded. The maximum annual debt service on the Notes will not be more than the maximum annual debt service on the indebtedness being refunded by the Notes; and, therefore, it will not be necessary for the School District to levy any new tax or to increase the rate of any existing tax in order to provide for payment of the interest and principal of the Notes. Act 130 of 2008 Act 130 of 2008 of the Commonwealth amended the Local Tax Enabling Act so as to authorize school districts levying an occupation tax to replace that occupation tax with an increased earned income tax or, if the school district has implemented a personal income tax in accordance with the Taxpayer Relief Act, an increased personal income tax, in a revenue neutral manner. To so replace an occupation tax, the board of school directors must first hold at least one public hearing on the matter and then place a binding referendum question on the ballot at a general or municipal election for approval by the voters. The School District does not levy an occupation tax. Act 48 of 2003 Pennsylvania Act No. 2003-48 (enacted December 23, 2003) prohibits a school district from increasing real property taxes for the school year 2005-2006 or any subsequent school year, unless the school district has adopted a budget for such school year that includes an estimated ending unreserved undesignated fund balance which is not more than a specified percentage of the total budgeted expenditures, as set forth below:
Total Budgeted Expenditures
Estimated Ending Unreserved Undesignated Fund Balance as a Percentage of Total budgeted Expenditures:
Less than or equal to $11,999,999 12.0% Between $12,000,000 and $12,999,999 11.5% Between $13,000,000 and $13,999,999 11.0% Between $14,000,000 and $14,999,999 10.5% Between $15,000,000 and $15,999,999 10.0% Between $16,000,000 and $16,999,999 9.5% Between $17,000,000 and $17,999,999 9.0% Between $18,000,000 and $18,999,999 8.5% Greater than or equal to $19,000,000 8.0%
“Estimated ending unreserved fund balance” is defined in Act 2003-48 as that portion of the fund balance which is appropriable for expenditure or not legally or otherwise segregated for a specific or tentative future use, projected for the close of the school year for which a school district’s budget was adopted and held in the general fund accounts of the school district.

Real Property Tax The real property tax (excluding delinquent collections) produced $73,334,773 in 2012-13, approximately 45.6 percent of revenues. The School District fiscal year is from July 1 through June 30 and tax bills are issued on July 1 of each year. Taxpayers who remit within two months of July 1 receive a 2 percent discount, and those who remit subsequent to October 31 are assessed a 10 percent penalty. The following tables summarize recent trends of assessed and market valuations of real property and real property tax collection data. The countywide assessment in Dauphin County became effective in 2001.

Commonwealth Aid to School Districts Pennsylvania school districts receive financial assistance from the Commonwealth in a number of forms, all subject to statutory provisions and annual appropriation by the Pennsylvania General Assembly. A basic instructional subsidy is allocated to all school districts based on (1) the per pupil market value of assessable real property in the school district; (2) the per pupil earned income in the school district; and (3) the school district's tax effort, as compared with the tax effort of other school districts in the Commonwealth. Subsidies for special education, pupil transportation, vocational education, health service and debt service are also received by the school district. Commonwealth law presently provides that the School District will receive reimbursement from the Commonwealth for a portion of debt service on the Notes upon final approval of the Department of Education. Commonwealth reimbursement is based on the "Reimbursable Percentage" assigned to the Notes and the School District's Market Value Aid Ratio (“Aid Ratio”). The School District officials have estimated that the "Reimbursable Percentage" of the Notes will be a maximum of 21.31 percent. The School District Aid Ratio for the 2013-14 school year is currently 33.66 percent. The product of these two factors is 7.17 percent which is the maximum potential percentage of debt service which will be reimbursed by the Commonwealth. In future years, this percentage may change as the School District's Aid Ratio changes, or as a result of future legislation. Aid Ratio is a function of the market value per weighted average daily membership of the School District relative to that of other School Districts in the Commonwealth.

Debt Limit and Remaining Borrowing Capacity The statutory borrowing limit of the School District under the Act is computed as a percentage of the School District’s “Borrowing Base”. The “Borrowing Base” is defined as the annual arithmetic average of “Total Revenues” (as defined by the Act) for the three full fiscal years ended next preceding the date of incurring debt. The School District calculates its present borrowing base and borrowing capacity as follows:
Total Revenues for 2010-11 .................................................................................................................. $156,267,387 Total Revenues for 2011-12 .................................................................................................................. 152,293,606 Total Revenues for 2012-13 .................................................................................................................. 158,881,589 Total ................................................................................................................................................. $467,442,582 Annual Arithmetic Average (Borrowing Base) ..................................................................................... $155,814,194
Under the Act as presently in effect, no school district shall incur any nonelectoral debt or lease rental debt, if the aggregate net principal amount of such new debt together with any other net nonelectoral debt and lease rental debt then outstanding, would cause the net nonelectoral debt plus net lease rental debt to exceed 225% of the Borrowing Base. The application of the aforesaid percentage to the School District's Borrowing Base produces the following products: Remaining Legal Net Debt Borrowing Limit Outstanding* Capacity Net Nonelectoral Debt and Lease Rental Debt Limit: 225% of Borrowing Base $350,581,937 $148,340,000 $202,241,937 *Includes the estimated Notes described herein, does not reflect credits against gross indebtedness that may be claimed for a portion of principal of debt estimated to be reimbursed by Commonwealth Aid. Excludes the 2004 Notes, the 2009 Bonds and the portion of the 2010 Bonds being refunded. Related Interest Rate Swap Agreement On May 25, 2010, the School District entered into a fixed to floating rate swap (the “2010 Variable Rate Swap”) with the Royal Bank of Canada (“RBC”), relating to a portion of the School District’s General Obligation Notes, Series of 2006 (the “2006 Notes”). The 2010 Variable Rate Swap is in the amount of $45,000,000. The School District entered into contract with RBC, or swap counterparty, which granted RBC the option, if exercised, to place the School District in a swap where the School District will pay to RBC the Securities Industry and Financial Markets Association Municipal Swap Index Rate (“SIFMA”), while RBC will pay to the School District a fixed interest rate of 4.00% per annum. RBC will pay the District an option premium which will be eight semi-annual payments of $257,350 (for a total of $2,058,800) made on August 1 and February 1, beginning on August 1, 2010 and ending on February 1, 2014. RBC has the option on February 28, 2014 (the “Exercise Date”), which is 30 days prior to April 1, 2014 (the “Effective Date”) to place the District into the fixed receiver swap. If RBC does not exercise the option, the option expires and the 2010 Swap terminates and RBC loses its right to place the District into the fixed receiver swap. If the option is exercised, the 2010 Variable Rate Swap will remain in effect until February 1, 2030, the final maturity date of the 2006 Notes, or as long as the 2006 Notes are outstanding, unless terminated under the provisions of the 2010 Variable Rate Swap. The School District has pledged its full faith, credit and taxing power for the budgeting, appropriation and payment of periodic scheduled payments (not termination payments) due under the 2010 Variable Rate Swap Agreement on a parity basis with principal and interest payments due on the 2006 Notes.
On October 14, 2010, the School District entered into a floating to floating interest rate swap (the “2010 Basis Swap”) agreement with RBC, relating to a portion of the 2006 Notes. The notional amount of the 2010 Basis Swap is in the amount of $45,000,000. The School District entered into this contract with RBC, the provisions of which provide that the School District will pay to RBC the SIFMA rate, while RBC pays to the School District 70% of three-month LIBOR plus 0.50%. The 2010 Basis Swap on will remain in effect until February 1, 2030, the final maturity date of the 2006 Notes, or as long as the 2006 Notes are outstanding, unless terminated under the provisions of the 2010 Basis Swap. The 2010 Basis Swap may also become related to any subsequent refunding of the 2006 Notes. The School District will pledge its full faith, credit and taxing power for the budgeting, appropriation and payment of periodic scheduled payments (not termination payments) due under the 2010 Basis Swap Agreement on a parity basis with principal and interest payments due on the 2006 Notes.

LABOR RELATIONS School District Employees The teachers, nurses, and guidance counselors of the School District are represented by the Central Dauphin Education Association (CDEA) which is part of the Pennsylvania State Education Association. The CDEA currently represents 856 professionals. The professional employees are working under the terms of a five-year contract until June 30, 2014. There are approximately 73 administrative and confidential employees who are covered by an agreement, which has been extended until June 30, 2014. The custodial and maintenance personnel (approximately 90 employees) are represented by District Council 90 of the American Federation of State, County and Municipal Employees (AFSCME). Their four-year contract expires June 30, 2016. The School District clerical workers (approximately 221 employees) are represented by Central Dauphin Education Support Personnel Association (PSEA). Their two-year contract expires on June 30, 2015. Pension Program
School Districts in Pennsylvania are required to participate in a statewide pension program administered by the Public School Employees Retirement System (PSERS). All of the School District's full-time employees, part-time employees who work more than 80 days in a school year, and hourly employees who work over 500 hours a year participate in the program. However, please note a Pennsylvania Supreme Court decision has removed the hourly de minimis requirement for current members of PSERS regarding the purchase of credit for their part-time school service rendered prior to their being members of PSERS, for purposes of increasing their pension benefits.
The PSERS Board of Trustees has set the fiscal year 2013-14 employer retirement contribution rate at 16.93 percent of payroll. Both the
School District and the Commonwealth are responsible for paying a portion of the employer's share. Employers are divided into two groups; school entities and non-school entities. School entities are responsible for paying 100 percent of the employer share of contributions to PSERS. The Commonwealth reimburses the employer for one-half the payment for employees. Recent School District payments have been as follows:
2008-09 $ 3,533,676 2009-10 3,425,251 2010-11 3,926,461 2011-12 5,880,622 2012-13 8,009,692 2013-14 (Budget) 11,745,282
The School District is current in all payments. Other Post-Employment Benefits
The School District is obligated under collective bargaining agreements to provide future health insurance coverage for current and future retired employees, and to provide retirement severance pay for existing employees. The School District has become subject to the requirements of GASB Statements No. 43 and 45 commencing with the School District’s annual financial statements for the fiscal year ending June 30, 2009. For a full description, see “Appendix C - Audited Financial Statements – Notes to Financial Statements - Note 15 – Postemployment Benefits Plan”.
23
LITIGATION At the time of the issuance and delivery of the Notes, the School Board and the Solicitor will deliver a certificate stating that there is no litigation pending with respect to the Notes, the Resolution or the right of the School District to issue the Notes.
DEFAULTS AND REMEDIES In the event of failure of the School District to pay or cause to be paid the interest on or principal of the Notes, as the same becomes due and payable, the holders of the Notes shall be entitled to certain remedies provided by the Act. Among the remedies, if the failure to pay shall continue for 30 days, holders of the Notes shall have the right to recover the amount due by bringing an action in assumpsit in the Court of Common Pleas of the county in which the School District is located. The Act provides any judgment shall have an appropriate priority upon the funds next coming into the treasury of the School District. The Act also provides that upon a default of at least 30 days, holders of at least 25 percent of the Notes may appoint a trustee to represent them. The Act provides certain other remedies in the event of default, and further qualifies the remedies hereinbefore described.
TAX EXEMPTION AND OTHER TAX MATTERS
Federal Tax Exemption
In the opinion of Bond Counsel, under existing statutes, regulations, rulings and court decisions, and assuming continuing compliance by the School District with certain certifications and agreements relating to the use of the Note proceeds and covenants to comply with provisions of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the "Code") and all applicable regulations thereunder, now or hereafter enacted, interest on the Notes is excludable from gross income for federal income tax purposes and is not an item of tax preference for purposes of the federal alternative minimum tax imposed on individuals and corporations. However, such interest is includable in adjusted current earnings for purposes of the federal alternative minimum tax imposed on certain corporations (as defined in the Code). Bond counsel expresses no opinion regarding other federal tax consequences of ownership or disposition of, or the accrual or receipt of interest on, the Notes. The Notes have not been designated as "qualified tax-exempt obligations." The Notes maturing on __________ are offered at a discount ("original issue discount") equal generally to the difference between public offering price and principal amount. For federal income tax purposes, original issue discount on a Note accrues periodically over the term of the Note as interest with the same tax exemption and alternative minimum tax status as regular interest. The accrual of original issue discount increases the holder's tax basis in the Note for determining taxable gain or loss from sale or from redemption prior to maturity. Holders should consult their tax advisers for an explanation of the accrual rules. The Notes maturing on _________ are offered at a premium ("original issue premium") over their principal amount. For federal income tax purposes, original issue premium is amortizable periodically over the term of a Note through reductions in the holder's tax basis for the Note for determining taxable gain or loss from sale or from redemption prior to maturity. Amortization of premium does not create a deductible expense or loss. Holders should consult their tax advisers for an explanation of the amortization rules. The opinion of Bond Counsel on federal tax matters will be based upon and will assume the accuracy of certain representations and certifications, and compliance with certain covenants, of the School District to be contained in the transcript of proceedings for the issuance of the Notes and that are intended to evidence and assure that the Notes are and will remain obligations the interest on which is excludable from gross income for federal income tax purposes. Bond Counsel will not independently verify the accuracy of those certifications and representations or covenants. The Code prescribes a number of qualifications and conditions for the interest on state and local obligations to be and to remain excludable from gross income for federal income purposes, some of which require future or continued compliance after issuance of the obligations in order for the interest to be and to continue to be so excluded from the date of issuance. Noncompliance with these requirements by the School District may cause the interest on the Notes to be included in gross income for federal income tax purposes and thus to be subject to federal income tax retroactively to their date of issuance. The School District has covenanted to take the actions required of it for the interest on the Notes to be and to remain excludable from gross income for federal income tax purposes and not to take any actions that would adversely affect that exclusion. Bond Counsel has not undertaken to evaluate, determine or inform any person, including any holder of the Notes, whether any actions taken or not taken, events, events occurring or not occurring, or other matters that might come to attention of Bond Counsel, would adversely affect the value of, or tax status of the interest on, the Notes. Under the provisions of the Code, the Treasury Department is authorized and empowered to promulgate regulations implementing the intent of Congress under the Code which could affect the tax exemption and/or tax consequences of holding tax-exempt obligations, such as the Notes. In addition, legislation may be introduced and enacted in the future which could change the provisions of the Code relating to the tax exempt bonds of a state or local government unit, such as the School District, or the taxability of interest in general.
24
Proposals to alter or eliminate the exclusion of interest on tax-exempt bonds from gross income for some or all taxpayers have been made in the past and may be made again in the future. Future legislation, if enacted into law, or clarification of the Code may cause interest on the Notes to be subject, directly or indirectly, to federal income taxation, or otherwise prevent Beneficial Owners from realizing the full current benefit of the tax status of such interest. The introduction or enactment of any such future legislation or clarification of the Code may also affect the market price for, or marketability of, the Notes. PROSPECTIVE PURCHASERS OF THE BONDS SHOULD CONSULT THEIR OWN TAX ADVISERS REGARDING ANY PROPOSED FEDERAL TAX LEGISLATION, AS TO WHICH BOND COUNSEL EXPRESSES NO OPINION. The opinion of Bond Counsel is based on current legal authority, covers certain matters not directly addressed by such authorities and represents Bond Counsel's judgment as to the proper treatment of the Notes for federal income tax purposes. It is not a guarantee of any result, and is not binding on the Internal Revenue Service (the “IRS”) or the courts. Bond Counsel's engagement with respect to the Notes ends with the issuance of the Notes. No representation is made or can be made by the School District or any other party associated with the issuance of the Notes as to whether or not any other legislation now or hereafter introduced and enacted will be applied retroactively so as to subject interest on the Notes to federal income taxes or so as to otherwise affect the marketability or market value of the Notes. Pennsylvania Tax Exemption
Under the laws of the Commonwealth as presently enacted and construed, the Notes are exempt from personal property taxes in the Commonwealth and the interest on the Notes is exempt from Pennsylvania personal income tax and Pennsylvania corporate net income tax. The Notes and the interest thereon may be subject to state or local taxes in jurisdictions other than the Commonwealth under applicable state or local tax laws. THE ABOVE SUMMARY OF POSSIBLE TAX CONSEQUENCES IS NOT EXHAUSTIVE OR COMPLETE. ALL PURCHASERS OF BONDS SHOULD CONSULT THEIR TAX ADVISORS REGARDING THE POSSIBLE FEDERAL, STATE AND LOCAL INCOME TAX CONSEQUENCES OF OWNERSHIP OF THE BONDS AND ANY CHANGES IN THE STATUS OF PENDING OR PROPOSED FEDERAL TAX LEGISLATION. ANY STATEMENT REGARDING TAX MATTERS HEREIN CANNOT BE RELIED UPON BY ANY PERSON TO AVOID TAX PENALTIES.

The School District may from time to time choose to provide notice of the occurrence of certain other events, in addition to those listed above, but the School District does not commit to provide any such notice of the occurrence of any events except those specifically listed above.
26
The School District reserves the right to terminate its obligation to provide annual financial information and notices of material events, as set forth above, if and when the School District no longer remains an “obligated person” with respect to the Notes within the meaning of the Rule. The School District acknowledges that its undertaking pursuant to the Rule described herein is intended to be for the benefit of the holders or beneficial owners of the Notes and shall be enforceable by the holders or beneficial owners of such Notes; provided that the Noteholders’ right to enforce the provisions of this undertaking shall be limited to a right to obtain specific enforcement for the School District’s obligations hereunder and any failure by the School District to comply with the provisions of this undertaking shall not be an event of default with respect to the Notes. The School District may modify from time to time the specific types of information provided or the format of the presentation of such information, as a result of a change in legal requirements or change in the nature of the School District; provided that any such modification will be done in a manner consistent with the SEC Rule 15c2-12 including amendments thereto and will not, in the opinion of nationally recognized Bond Counsel, violate the Rule, as amended. Any filing under this Section may be made solely by transmitting such filing to the MSRB through its Electronic Municipal Market Access (EMMA) system for municipal securities disclosures.
The School District has complied with all of its prior written undertakings under the Rule to provide timely ongoing disclosure of annual financial information and notice of material events affecting its securities and is current with undertakings under the Rule.

Introduction The School District lies within the County of Dauphin in south central Pennsylvania, approximately 100 miles west of Philadelphia, 200 miles east of Pittsburgh and adjacent to the City of Harrisburg, the county seat and capitol of the Commonwealth. The School District is the 13th largest school district in the Commonwealth based upon Weighted Average Daily Membership. The School District is the largest of the ten school districts located in the County and contains 23% of the land area, 33% of the population, and 38% of the assessed valuation in Dauphin County. The School District encompasses an area of 118.2 square miles and is comprised of three boroughs and four townships: the Boroughs of Dauphin, Paxtang and Penbrook, and the Townships of Lower Paxton, Middle Paxton, Swatara and West Hanover. The School District is located in the fifth largest metropolitan area in the Commonwealth and is part of the Harrisburg Standard Metropolitan Statistical Area (the “MSA”) which includes Dauphin, Cumberland and Perry Counties. The School District has experienced dramatic growth in both population and assessed valuation. The strategic location of the School District combined with the existence of major railroads, airports and an extensive network of Federal and State highways has contributed to the development of commercial and service activities throughout the School District. The proximity to Harrisburg and the availability of suitable land has led to the rise in the population of the School District from 83,750 in 2000 to 90,401 in 2010. Land use in the School District, according to a 2012-13 analysis by the Pennsylvania State Tax Equalization Board, has been classified as 65.78% residential, 26.35% commercial, 5.05% industrial, 1.32% lots, 1.12% agricultural, 0.21% land, 0.14% trailers and 0.03% seasonal.

Appendix B Form of Bond Counsel Opinion
Below is the Proposed Form of Bond Counsel Opinion Expected to be Delivered in Connection
with the Issuance of the Notes
[Date of Issuance of the Notes]
Central Dauphin School District Dauphin County, Pennsylvania
Re: $__________ Central Dauphin School District, Dauphin County, Pennsylvania General Obligation Notes, Series of 2014
You have requested our opinion as to the legality of the above general obligation bonds (the "Notes"). The Notes are issued by the Central Dauphin School District, Dauphin County, Pennsylvania (the "School District"), under the provisions of the Local Government Unit Debt Act, 53 Pa. Cons. Stat. §8001 et seq., as amended (the "Act"), and pursuant to a resolution duly adopted by the Board of School Directors of the School District (the "Resolution"). The Notes are being issued for the purpose of providing funds to pay the cost of (i) the current refunding of all of the School District's outstanding General Obligation Notes, Series of 2004, (ii) the advance refunding of all of the School District's outstanding General Obligation Bonds, Series of 2009, (iii) the advance refunding of a portion of the School District's outstanding General Obligation Bonds, Series of 2010, and (iv) the issuing of the Notes.
The School District has covenanted in the Resolution (i) to include the amount of debt service for the Notes for each fiscal year in which such sums are due and payable in its budget for that year; (ii) to appropriate such amounts from its general revenues for the payment of such debt service; and (iii) to duly and punctually pay, or cause to be paid, from its sinking fund or any other of its revenues or funds, the principal of, and interest on, the Notes at the dates and places and in the manner stated in the Notes, according to the true intent and meaning thereof; for such budgeting, appropriation and payment the School District in the Resolution has pledged its full faith, credit and taxing power.
As Bond Counsel to the School District we have examined originals or certified copies of the transcript of the proceedings of the School District filed with and approved by the Department of Community and Economic Development (the "Department") of the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania (the "Commonwealth"), the Resolution, the form of the Notes, such constitutional and statutory provisions and such other certificates, instruments and documents as we have deemed necessary or appropriate in order to enable us to render an informed opinion as to the matters set forth herein.
In rendering this opinion we have examined and relied upon (i) the opinion of counsel to the School District with respect, inter alia, to the due adoption by the School District of
2
the Resolution in accordance with applicable laws; and (ii) the accuracy of the statements and representations and the performance by the School District of its covenants set forth in the Resolution and the School District's Tax Certificate delivered on this date in connection with the issuance of the Notes.
As to questions of fact material to our opinion, we have relied upon the representations of the School District contained in the Resolution and in the certified proceedings and other certifications of public officials and others furnished to us without undertaking to verify the same by independent investigation.
Based on the foregoing, it is our opinion that:
1. The School District is authorized under the provisions of the Constitution and laws of the Commonwealth to issue the Notes for the purposes above set forth, and the School District has authorized the issuance thereof.
2. As indicated in the School District's debt statement filed with the Department in connection with the issuance of the Notes, outstanding debt of the School District, including debt represented by the Notes, is within the debt limitations of the Act.
3. The Notes are valid and binding general obligations of the School District payable from the revenues of the School District from whatever source derived, which revenues at the time of the issuance and sale of the Notes, include ad valorem taxes levied upon all the taxable property within the School District, within limitations provided by law.
4. Under the laws of the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania as presently enacted and construed, the Notes are exempt from personal property taxes in Pennsylvania, and interest on the Notes is exempt from Pennsylvania personal income tax and corporate net income tax.
5. Interest on the Notes, and accruals of original interest discount, are excludable from gross income for federal income tax purposes under existing laws as enacted and construed on the date of initial delivery of the Notes. Interest on the Notes is not an item of tax preference for purposes of the federal alternative minimum tax imposed on individuals and corporations; it should be noted, however, that for the purpose of computing the alternative minimum tax imposed on certain corporations (as defined for federal income tax purposes), such interest is taken into account in determining adjusted current earnings. The opinions set forth in the preceding two sentences are subject to the condition that the School District comply with all the requirements of the Code that must be satisfied subsequent to the issuance of the Notes in order that interest on the Notes be (or continue to be) excluded from gross income for federal income tax purposes. Failure to comply with such requirements could cause the interest on the Notes to be included in gross income retroactively to the date of issuance of the Notes. The School District has covenanted in the Resolution to comply with all such requirements. We express no opinion regarding other federal tax consequences arising with respect to the Notes.
It is to be understood that the rights of the owners of the Notes and the enforceability of the Notes may be subject to bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization, moratorium or other laws now or hereafter enacted by any state or the federal government affecting the enforcement of creditors' rights generally, and "enforceable in accordance with its
3
(their) terms" shall not mean that specific performance would necessarily be available as a remedy in every situation.
We have not been engaged to express and do not express any opinion herein with respect to the adequacy of the security for the Notes or the sources of payment for the Notes. We express no opinion herein as to the accuracy, adequacy or completeness of the Official Statements relating to the Notes. We express no opinion with respect to any matters not specifically set forth herein.
This opinion letter is limited to the matters set forth herein. This opinion is subject to future changes in applicable law and we do not undertake any obligation to update any of the opinions expressed in this letter. No opinion may be inferred or implied beyond the matters expressly stated herein, and our opinions expressed herein must be read in conjunction with the assumptions, limitations, exceptions and qualifications set forth herein. The law covered by the opinions expressed herein is limited to the laws of the Commonwealth and the federal law of the United States of America.

We have audited the accompanying financial statements of the governmental activities, the business-type activities, each major fund, and the aggregate remaining fund information of the CENTRAL DAUPHIN SCHOOL DISTRICT (the "District"), as of and for the year ended June 30, 2013, and the related notes to the financial statements, which collectively comprise the District's basic financial statements as listed in the table of contents.
Management's Responsibility for the Financial Statements
Management is responsible for the preparation and fair presentation of these financial statements in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America; this includes the design, implementation, and maintenance of internal control relevant to the preparation and fair presentation of financial statements that are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error.
Auditors' Responsibility
Our responsibility is to express opinions on these financial statements based on our audit. We conducted our audit in accordance with auditing standards generally accepted in the United States of America and the standards applicable to fmancial audits contained in Government Auditing Standards, issued by the Comptroller General of the United States. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free from material misstatement.
An audit involves performing procedures to obtain audit evidence about the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. The procedures selected depend on the auditors' judgment, including the assessment of the risks of material misstatement of the financial statements, whether due to fraud or error. In making those risk assessments, the auditors consider internal control relevant to the entity's preparation and fair presentation of the financial statements in order to design audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the entity's internal control. Accordingly, we express no such opinion. An audit also includes evaluating the appropriateness of accounting policies used and the reasonableness of significant accounting estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation of the financial statements.

Opinions
In our opinion, the fmancial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the respective financial position of the governmental activities, the business-type activities, each major fund, and the aggregate remaining fund information of the District, as of June 30, 2013, and the respective changes in financial position, and, where applicable, cash flows thereof and the budgetary comparison for the General Fund for the year then ended in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.
Adoption of Governmental Accounting Standards Board Pronouncements
As described in Note 1 to the financial statements, in 2013 the District adopted the provisions of Governmental Accounting Standards Board's Statement No. 60, "Accounting and Financial Reporting for Service Concession Arrangements", Statement No. 61, "The Financial Reporting Rntity: Omnibus- an amendment of GASB Statements No. 14 and No. 34", Statement No. 62, "Codification of Accounting and Financial Reporting Guidance Contained in Pre-November 30, 1989 FASB and A/CPA Pronouncements", and Statement No. 63, "Financial Reporting of Deferred Outflows of Resources, Deferred Inflows of Resources, and Net Position".

Accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America require that the management's discussion and analysis, schedule of funding progress for postemployment benefits other than pensions, and budgetary comparison schedules on pages 4 through 20 and page 68 be presented to supplement the basic financial statements. Such information, although not a part of the basic financial statements, is required by the Governmental Accounting Standards Board, who considers it to be an essential part of fmancial reporting for placing the basic financial statements in an appropriate operational, economic, or historical context. We have applied certain limited procedures to the required supplementary information in accordance with auditing standards generally accepted in the United States of America, which consisted of inquires of management about the methods of preparing the information and comparing the information for consistency with management's responses to our inquiries, the basic fin!)llcial statements, and other knowledge we obtained during our audit of the basic financial statements.

We do not express an opinion or provide any assurance on the required supplementary information because the limited procedures do not provide us with sufficient evidence to express an opinion or provide any assurance.

The combining private purpose trust fund financial statements and General Fund schedules on pages 70 through 80 and the statistical schedules on pages 81 through 84 are presented for purposes of additional analysis and are not a required part of the basic financial statements.
The combining private purpose trust fund financial statements and General Fund schedules are the responsibility. of management and were derived from and relate directly to the underlying accounting and other records used to prepare the basic fmancial statements. Such information has been subjected to the auditing procedures applied in the audit of the basic financial statements and certairt additional procedures, including comparing and reconciling such information directly to the underlying accounting and other records used to prepare the basic financial statements or to the basic financial statements themselves, and other additional procedures in accordance with auditing standards generally accepted in the United States of America. In our opinion, the combining private purpose trust fund financial statements and General Fund schedules are fairly stated in all material respects in relation to the basic financial statements as a whole.
The statistical schedules have not been subjected to the auditing procedures applied in the audit of the basic fmancial statements and, accordingly, we do not express an opinion or provide any assurance on them.

FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
The financial statements consist of three parts: management's discussion and analysis. the basic financial statements. and required supplementary information. The basic financial statements include two kinds of statements that present different views of Central Dauphin School District. The first two statements are government-wide financial statements- the statement of net position and the statement of activities. These provide both long-term and short-term information about the District's overall financial status.
The remaining statements are fund financial statements that focus on individual parts of the District's operations in more detail than the government-wide statements. The governmental funds statements tell how the District's services were financed in the short-term as well as what remains for future spending. Proprietary fund statements offer short and long-term financial information about the activities that the District operates like a business. For the District, this is the food service fund. Fiduciary fund statements provide information about financial relationships where the District acts solely as a trustee or agent for the benefit of others. to whom the resources in question belong.
The financial statements also include notes that explain some of the information in the financial statements and provide more detailed data. The statements are followed by a section of required supplementary information that further explains and reports the financial statements with the comparison of Central Dauphin School District's budget for the year.
Figure A-1 shows how the required parts of the financial report are arranged and relate to one another:

OVERVIEW OF FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
Government-Wide Statements The government-wide statements report information about the District as a whole using accounting methods similar to those used by private-sector companies. The statement of net position includes all of the government's assets and liabilities. All of the current year's revenues and expenses are accounted for in the statement of activities regardless of when cash is received or paid.
The two governmental-wide statements report the District's net position and how it has changed. Net position, the difference between the District's assets and liabilities, is one way to measure the District's financial health or position.
Over time, increases or decreases in the District's net position is an indication of whether its financial health is improving or deteriorating, respectively.
To assess the overall health of the School, you need to consider additional factors, such as changes in the member school district contributions and the projected enrollment of the students.
The government-wide financial statements of the District are divided into two categories:
• Governmental Activities- All of the District's basic services are included here, such as instruction, instruction student support, administration and financial support services, operation and maintenance of plant services, pupil transportation, student activities, community services, and debt service. Property taxes, public utility realty, earned income taxes levied for general purposes, operating grants and contributions, and state and federal subsidies finance these activities.
• Business-Type Activities- The District operates a food service operation and charges fees to staff, students, and visitors to help it cover the costs of the food service operation. The district also maintains an internal service fund to administer the district's self-funded health insurance program.
Fund Financial Statements The District's fund financial statements provide detailed information about the most significant funds, not the District as a whole. Some funds are required by state law and by bond requirements.
• Governmental Funds - Most of the District's activities are reported in governmental funds, which focus on the determination of financial position and change in financial position, not on income determination. They are reported using an accounting method called modified accrual accounting, which measures cash and all other financial assets that can readily be converted to cash. The governmental fund statements provide a detailed short-term view of the District's operations and the services it provides. Governmental fund information helps the reader determine whether there are more or fewer financial resources that can be spent in the near future to finance the District's programs. The relationship {or differences) between governmental activities {reported in the statement of net position and the statement of activities) and governmental funds is reconciled in the financial statements.
Page9
• Proprietary Funds- These funds are used to account for the District's activities that are similar to business operations in the private sector; or where the reporting is on determining net income, financial position, changes in financial position, and a significant portion of funding through user charges. When the District charges customers for services it provides, whether to outside customers or to other units in the District. these services are generally reported in proprietary funds. The food service fund is used to account for the financial transactions related to food service operations. The internal service fund is used to account for the financial transactions related to the District's self-insurance program for health care benefits. The food service fund and internal service fund are the District's proprietary funds and are the same as the business-type activities reported in the government-wide statements, but provides more detailed and additional information, such as cash flows.
• Fiduciary Funds -The District is the trustee, or fiduciary, for assets that belong to others, such as scholarship funds or student activity funds. The District is responsible for ensuring that the assets reported in these funds are used only for their intended purposes and by those to whom the assets belong. The District excludes these activities from the other financial statements because it cannot use these assets to finance its operations.

GENERAL FUND BUDGET
During the fiscal year, the School Board of Directors authorizes revisions to the original budget to accommodate differences from the original budget to the actual expenditures of the District. All adjustments to the general fund budget are provided to the school board of directors on a monthly basis. The District uses a site-based, line-item budget. The budgeting systems are designed to tightly control total site budgets, but provide flexibility for site management. During the past year, the administrators implemented a budget freeze and only permitted purchases of necessary student materials and supplies.
A schedule showing the District's original and final budget amounts compared with amounts actually paid and received is provided on the next page.

Spending Review Highlights
REVENUES
For the general fund, final budgeted revenues and other financing sources were $155,838,650 while actual revenues were $160,902,928. Total revenues exceeded the budget by $5,064,278, or 3.25%. Budget variances include:
Local Sources- During the past year, the District realized $4,252,321, or 3.68%, over budgeted amounts for local revenues. The largest variance was attributable to earned income taxes. Under the provisions of Act 32, a new county-wide earned income tax collector was appointed January 1. 2012. As a result of this change, the District continued to experience an overall increase in the speed of processing earned income tax revenues. The earned income tax collector also updated its listing of taxpayers in the District and implemented the mandatory collection provisions of Act 32. As a result, the District was over budget $5,494,7 41, or 16.87% for earned income tax revenues. Other local tax revenue variances were: Regular real estate taxes over budget by $674,075, or .0093%. Due to a sale of a large commercial property complex, real estate transfer taxes were over budget $480,272, or 33.12%. Delinquent real estate taxes were under budget by $47,941, or (1.37%). Due to continued low interest rates, interest earnings were under budget by $737,170, or (89.90%). Tuition payments from other school districts exceeded the budget by $513,972, or 85.06%.
State Sources- During the past year, the District realized $946,062 under budgeted amounts for state revenues. The shortfall in state revenues was applicable to transportation subsidy under budget by $485,328, or (13.581%), social security reimbursement under budget by $160,217, or (6.16%), and retirement reimbursement under budget by $337,809, or (8.039%).
Federal Sources- During the past year, the District realized $2,453,321 over budgeted amounts for federal programs. During the past year, the District received the third and final year of the Title I. School Improvement Grant for Central Dauphin East High School in the amount of $699,963. The respective revenues and expenses were not included in the general fund budget.
Other Sources- During the past year, the District was under budget by $695,205. The budget included a $1,500,000 transfer from the District's internal service fund. Due to the increase in earned income tax revenue, as identified above, the District did not perform this transfer.

DEBT ADMINISTRATION
At June 30,2013 the District had $168,998,055 in outstanding bonds, notes, and authority lease obligation payable, a decrease of $8,679,890 over last year.
Bond Rating
The Central Dauphin District prides itself in maintaining a respectable credit rating. As of April13, 2012, Standard & Poor's ratings services assigned and affirmed its 'AA' rating to the Central Dauphin School District, Harrisburg, Pennsylvania. The outlook for the District is stable. Key rating factors include S&P's assessment of the district's:
• Stable property tax base with very strong wealth and strong income indicators; • Strong unreserved general fund balance at fiscal year-end 2011, surplus projected for 20 12; and • Moderate overall debt burden.
OTHER LONG-TERM LIABILITIES
Other obligations include accrued vacation pay and severance for specific employees of the District. More detailed information about long-term liabilities is included in the notes to the financial statements.
FACTORS BEARING ON CENTRAL DAUPHIN SCHOOL DISTRICT'S FUTURE
• The mandated retirement contribution to the Pennsylvania Schoo! Employees Retirement System (PSERS} is projected to increase greatly in the future. The estimated increases as provided by PSERS are as follows: 2014-15, 21.25%, 2015-16 25.56%, 2016-17 26.26%, 2017-18 26.86%, and 2018-19 27.53%. The projected increases in retirement rates will be a burden and hardship for the District. The District will be forced to consider future tax increases and utilization of its savings in future years.
• The District continues to forecast revenues and expenditures five years forward utilizing a five-year budget model. This provides the District some direction to address all known future changes in revenue collection patterns and spending needs. Due to the mandatory increases in funding levels for retirement contributions, the District will be forced to consider future lax increases and utilization of its savings in future years.
• Under GASB 68, the District will have to report its proportionate share of the Pennsylvania School Employees Retirement System (PSERS) net pension liability on its Statement of Net Position. This is effective beginning with the June 30, 2015 year end. The proportionate share for employers will be based on 100% of PSERS' net position liability, not 50%, since school districts are responsible for paying 100% of the employer contributions. The Central Dauphin School District's proportional share of PSERS' net pension liability is estimated to be $206,516,291. The District fundamentally disagrees with the provisions of GASB 68. The Commonwealth of Pennsylvania, not the District, is ultimately responsible for the pension program.
• The Affordable Care Act of 2010 contains provisions that require additional reporting requirements and regulations that will cause the Central Dauphin School District to incur additional costs and fees to be in compliance with that Act. The Affordable Care Act regulations are expected to be effective January 1,2014.
Page 19
• The Central Dauphin School District is considering debt refunding of the Central Dauphin School District Series 2004 Notes and a portion of the Central Dauphin School District 201 0 Bonds. The present value savings for these transactions is estimated to be $1,988,850. The District is also considering the possible defeasance of the Central Dauphin School District 2009 Bonds. The net savings for this transaction is estimated to be $130,000.

TOTAL FUND BALANCES, GOVERNMENTAL FUNDS
Amounts reported for governmental activities in the statement of net position is different because:
Capital assets used in governmental activities are not fmancial resources and therefore are not reported as assets in governmental funds. The cost of assets is $365,850,164 and the accumulated depreciation is $138,060,195
The funds record only the tax revenue received through a period of 60 days subsequent to year end. The statement of net position includes a receivable for the District's anticipated collections on the levy
Bond and note issuance costs are deferred and amortized over the life of the underlying obligation in the governmental activities. Issuance costs totaled is $1,406,602 with accumulated amortization of$570,939
Net position of the Internal Seivice Fund are included in governmental activities since they primarily benefit the District's governmental activities
Assets/Liabilities not available to pay for current period's expenditures and therefore not reported in the funds.
Receivable for option premium installment Unearned revenue - derivative instrument Investment in derivative instrument
Long-term liabilities, including bonds payable, are not due and payable in the current period, and therefore are not reported as liabilities in the funds. Long-term liabilities at year end consist of
Accrued interest payable Bonds and notes payable Deferred loss Authority lease obligation Other Compensated absences Other post employment benefits liability

RECONCILIATION OF THE GOVERNMENTAL FUNDS STATEMENT OF REVENUES, EXPENDITURES, AND CHANGES IN
FUND BALANCES TO THE STATEMENT OF ACTIVITIES FOR THE YEAR ENDED JUNE 30, 2013
NET CHANGE IN FUND BALANCE- GOVERNMENTAL FUNDS
Amounts reports for governmental activities in the statement of activities are different because:
Govenunental funds report capital outlays as expenditures. However, in the statement of activities, the cost of those assets is aJlocated over their estimated useful lives as depreciation expense. This is the amount by which capital outlays exceeded depreciation in the current period Capital outlays Less: depreciation expense Loss on disposal of fixed assets
Revenues in the statement of activities that do not provide current financial resources are not reposted as revenues in the funds. This amount is the net change in revenues accrued betWeen the prior and current year:
Property Taxes Receivable for option premium installment Option revenue
Repayment of the principaJ of long-tenn obligations consumes the current financial resources of governmental funds
Bond principal payments Authority lease payments Capital lease payments
Governmental funds report the effect of issuance costs and premiums, when debt is frrst issued, whereas these amounts are deferred and amortized in the statement of activities
Amortization of debt issue costs Amortization of debt premium Amortization of Joss on refunding
Change in accrued interest on bonds and notes payable
Some expenses reported in the statement of activities do not require the use of current :financiaJ resources and, therefore, are not reported as expenditures in governmental funds
Decrease in compensated absences Increase in other postemployment benefits Decrease in fair value of derivative instrument
Net income of the Internal Service Fund is included in governmental activities since it primarily benefits the District's governmental activities

CENTRAL DAUPHIN SCHOOL DISTRICT NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
JUNE 30, 2013
NATURE OF ENTITY AND SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
A. Nature of Operations
The School District is located in Dauphin County, adjacent to the City of Harrisburg, Pennsylvania. The School District encompasses an area of 118.2 square miles in Dauphin County and is comprised of 3 boroughs and 4 townships: the Boroughs of Dauphin, Paxtang, and Penbrook; and the Townships of Lower Paxton, Middle Paxton, Swatara, and West Hanover. The School District is governed by a board of 9 school directors who are citizens of the School District and who are elected for 4-year terms on a staggered basis. The School District operates 13 elementary school buildings, 4 middle school buildings, 2 high school buildings, 1 administrative building, and I transportation facility.
B. Reporting Entity
Governmental Accounting Standards Board ("GASB") Statement No. 61, "The Financial Reporting Entity: Omnibus - an amendment of GASB Statements No. 14 and No. 34" established the criteria used by the School District to evaluate the possible inclusion of related entities within its reporting entity based upon financial accountability and the nature and significance of the relationship. Based on the foregoing criteria, the School District has no component units that are required to be included in the School District's financial statements .
. C. Joint Ventures
The School District is a participant in two joint ventures with other school districts as follows:
1. Dauphin County Technical School ("Vo-Tech")
The Vo-Tech School provides vocational-technical education to the constituents of all participating school districts. Central Dauphin School District appoints two members of the twelve member board, which oversees the operations of the Yo-Tech School. Member school districts are responsible for funding the majority of the Vo-Tech School's operating budget. For the year ending June 30, 2013, Central Dauphin School District paid $5,393,635 for its estimated share of the operating budget. As of June 30, 2013, the Yo-Tech School had total assets of $3!,912,716, total liabilities of $25,713,427, and total net position of$6,199,289, of which $1,915,045 was unrestricted.

C. Joint Ventures (Continued)
1. Dauphin County Technical School ("Vo-Tech") (Continued)
As of June 30, 2013 the Yo-Tech school had capital assets of $25,808,389 and bonds payable of$21,542,333.
2. Dauphin County Area Vocational Technical School Authority ("Authority)
This -Authority was created as a financing medium for the construction, improvement, and maintenance for public school purposes relating to the operation of the Dauphin County Technical School. The Authority operated under the direction of the Yo-Tech School Board and is a component unit of the Yo-Tech School. As of June 30, 2013, the Authority had total assets of $13,678 and total liabilities of $0, resulting in an assigned fund balance of $13,678. As of June 30, 2013, the Authority had no capital assets or long term debt.
The most recent audited financial statements of these joint ventures are available for inspection at the School District's business office.
D. Measurement Focus. Basis of Accounting
The basic financial statements of the District are composed of the following:
• Government-wide financial statements • Fund fmancial statements • Notes to the fmancial statements
1. Government-wide Financial Statements
Government-wide fmancial statements (i.e. the statement of net position and the statement of activities) report on all the nonfiduciary activities of the School District. For the most part, the effect of interfund activity has been removed from these statements. Governmental activities which 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.

NATURE OF ENTITY AND SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (CONTINUED)
D. Measurement Focus, Basis of Accounting (Continued)
I. Government-wide Financial Statements (Continued)
Government-wide financial statements are reported using the economic resources measurement focus and the accrual basis of accounting, as are the proprietary fund and agency fund financial statements which incorporates noncurrent assets as well as long term debt and obligations. Under the accrual basis of accounting, revenues are recorded when earned and expenses are recorded when a liability is incurred, regardless of the timing of the 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 statement of activities demonstrates the degree to which the direct expenses of a given function or segments are offset by program revenues. Direct expenses are those that are clearly identifiable with a specific function or segment. Program revenues include I) charges to customer or applicants 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.
Amounts expended to acquire capital assets are capitalized as assets in the government-wide financial statements, rather than reported as an expenditure. Proceeds of long-term debt are recorded as liabilities in the government-wide financial statements, rather than as an other financing source. Amounts paid to reduce long-term indebtedness of the School District are reported as a reduction of the related liability, rather than an expenditure.
2. Fund Financial Statements
The operations of the School District are organized and are recorded in individual funds. Each fund is a separate accounting entity, with selfbalancing accounts that comprise its assets, liabilities, fund balance, revenues, and expenditures or expenses, as appropriate.

NATURE OF ENTITY AND SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (CONTINUED)
D. Measurement Focus and Basis of Accounting (Continued)
2. Fund Financial Statements (Continued)
Governmental Funds
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. Revenues are considered to be available when they are collected within the current period or soon enough thereafter to pay liabilities of the current period. For this purpose, the School District considers revenues to be available if they are collected within 180 days of the end of the current fiscal period with the exception of property taxes which must be received within 60 days of year end to be deemed available. Expenditures generally are recorded when a liability is incurred, as under accrual accounting. Operating and capital 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 only when cash is received by the School District.
Under the current fmancial resources measurement focus, only current assets and current liabilities are generally included on the balance sheet. The reported fund balance is considered to be a measure of "available spendable resources". Governmental funds operating statements present increases (revenues and other financing sources) and decreases (expenditures and other financing uses) in net current position. Accordingly, they are said to present a summary of sources and uses of "available spendable resources" during a period.
Because of their spending measurement focus, expenditure recognition for governmental fund types excludes amounts represented by noncurrent liabilities. Since they do not affect net current position, such long-term amounts are not recognized as governmental fund type expenditures or fund liabilities.
Amounts expended to acquire capital assets are recorded as expenditures in the year that resources were expended, rather than as fund assets. The proceeds of long-term debt are recorded as an other fmancing source rather than as a fund liability. However, debt service expenditures, as well as expenditures related to compensated absences and claims and judgments, are recorded only when payment is made.

The School District's Food Service and Internal Service Fund are proprietary funds. In the fund financial statements, the proprietary funds are presented using the accrual basis of accounting. Revenues are recognized when they are earned and expenses are recognized when the related goods or services are delivered. In the fund financial statements, the proprietary funds are presented using the economic resources measurement focus. This means that all assets and all liabilities (whether current or noncurrent) associated with their activity are included on their balance sheets. The proprietary fund type operating statement presents increases (revenues) and decreases (expenses) in total net position.
The proprietary funds operating revenues, such as charges for services, result from exchange transactions associated with the principal activity of the fund. Exchange transactions are those in which each party receives and gives up essentially equal values. Non-operating revenues, such as subsidies and investment earnings, result from nonexchange transactions or ancillary activities.
Amounts paid to acquire capital assets are capitalized as assets in the fund financial statements, rather than reported as an expenditure. Proceeds of long-term debt are recorded as a liability in the fund financial statements, rather than as an other financing source. Amounts paid to reduce longterm indebtedness are reported as a reduction of the related liabilities, rather than an expense.
Fiduciary Funds
The School District Fiduciary Funds are presented in the fund financial statements as a Private Purpose Trust Fund and an Agency Fund. Since, by definition, the assets of these funds are held for the benefit of a third party (individuals, private organizations, and/or other governments) and caunot be used to satisfy obligations of the School District, these funds are not incorporated into the government-wide financial statements. The School District's fiduciary funds are presented on the accrual basis of accounting.

7. Long-Term Obligations (Continued)
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. Premiums received on debt issuances are reported as other fmancing sources while discounts on debt issuances are reported as other financing uses. Issuance costs, whether or not withheld from the actual debt proceeds received, are reported as debt service expenditures.
8. Unearned/Deferred Revenues
Unearned revenues reported in government-wide financial statements represent revenues not yet earned and unearned swap proceeds. The unearned revenues will be recognized as revenue in the fiscal year they are earned in accordance with lhe accrual basis of accounting. Deferred revenues reported in governmental fund fmancial statements represent unearned revenues and revenues which are measurable but not available and, in accordance with the modified accrual basis of accounting, are reported as deferred revenues. The School District deems revenues received within 180 days of year end to be available with the exception of property taxes which must be received within 60 days of year end to be deemed available.
9. Fund Balance
The governmental fund financial statements present fund balances based on classifications that comprise a hierarchy that is based primarily on the extent the School District is bound to honor constraints on the specific purposes for which amounts in the respective governmental funds can be spent. The classifications used in the governmental fund financial statements are as follows:
Nonspendable fund balance - This classification includes amounts that cannot be spent because they are either (a) not in spendable form or (b) are legally or contractually required to be maintained intact.

F. Assets, Liabilities, Net Position or Fund Balance (Continued)
9. Fund Balance (Continued)
Restricted fund balance - This classification includes amounts for which constraints have been placed on the use of the resources either (a) externally imposed by creditors (such as through a debt covenant), grantors, contributors, or laws or regulations of other governments, or (b) imposed by law through constitutional provisions or enabling legislation.
Committed fund balance - This classification includes amounts that can be used only for specific purposes pursuant to constraints imposed by formal action of the Board of School Directors. These amounts cannot be used for any other purpose unless the Board of School Directors removes or changes the specified use by taking the same type of action (ordinance or resolution) that was employed when the funds were initially committed.
Assigned fund balance - This classification includes amounts that are constrained by the School District's intent to be used for a specific purpose but are neither restricted nor committed. The Board of School Directors delegated this responsibility to the Director of Business Affairs.
Unassigned fund balance - This classification represents amounts that are available for any purpose.
In circumstances where an expenditure is to be made for a purpose for which amounts are available in multiple fund balance classifications, the order in which resources will be expended is as follows: restricted fund balance, followed by committed fund balance, assigned fund balance and lastly unassigned fund balance.

JUNE 30,2013
NATURE OF ENTITY AND SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (CONTINUED)
F. Assets, Liabilities, Net Position or Fund Balance (Continued)
I 0. Net Position The government -wide and proprietary fund financial statements utilize a net position presentation. Net position is categorized as net investment in capital assets, restricted and unrestricted.
• Net Investment in Capital Assets- This category groups all capital assets into one component of net position. Accumulated depreciation and the outstanding balances of debt that are attributable to the acquisition, construction or improvement of these assets reduce the balance in this category.
• Restricted Net Position - This category presents external restrictions imposed by creditors, grantors, contributors or laws or regulations of other governments and restrictions imposed by law through constitutional provisions or enabling legislation.
• Unrestricted Net Position - This category represents net position of the School District, not restricted for any project or other purpose.
When an expense is incurred for purposes for which both restricted and unrestricted net position is available, the District's policy is to apply restricted net position first.
II. Accounting Estimates
The preparation of the financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect certain reported amounts and disclosures. Accordingly, actual amounts may differ from those estimates.
12. Interfund Transactions
Quasi-external transactions are accounted for as revenues or expenditures. Transactions that constitute reimbursements to a fund for expenditures initially made from it, which are properly applicable to another fund, are recorded as expenditures in the reimbursing fund, and as reductions of expenditures in the fund that is reimbursed. All other interfund transactions, except quasi-external transactions and reimbursements, are reported as transfers.

DEPOSIT AND INVESMENT RISK (CONTINUED)
Custodial Credit Risk- For deposits and investments, custodial credit risk is the risk that in the event of the failure of the counterparty, the School District will not be able to recover the value of its investments or collateral securities that are in the possession of an outside party. As of June 30, 2013, the School District's cash balances for its governmental activities, business-type activities and agency funds were $35,259,941 and its bank balances were $36,575,938. Of these bank balances, $34,482,871 were exposed to custodial credit risk and they were collateralized with securities held by the pledging fmancial institutions and uninsured. At June 30,2013, $655,432 of the District's investments in certificates of deposits were exposed to custodial credit risk, as they were collateralized with securities held by the pledging financial institution and uninsured.
As of June 30, 2013, the District had the following investments and maturities:
Investment Maturities {in Years} Fair Less More
Investment !xl!e Value Than 1 1-5 6-10 Than 10
Govermnental Activities Certificates ofDeposit $ 1,014,432 $ 737,584 $ 276,848 $ $ Investment Derivative - Swap 301,277 301,277 Total $ 1,315,709 $ 737,584 $ 276,848 $ $ 301,277
Fiduciarv Certificate of Deposit $ 141,000 $ $ 141,000 $ $ Total $ 141,000 $ $ 141,000 $ $
Interest Rate Risk. Interest rate risk is the risk that changes in market interest rates will adversely affect the fair value of an investment. Generally, the longer the maturity of an investment, the greater the sensitivity of its fair value to changes in market interest rates. The District does not have a formal investment policy that limits investment maturities as a means of managing its exposure to fair value losses arising from increasing interest rates. Information about the exposure of the District's debt type investments to this risk, using the segmented time distribution model is as displayed above.
The District is invested in a basis swap with a notional amount of $45,000,000. The District makes semiannual payments to the counterparty of the Securities Industry and Financial Markets Association Municipal Swap Index Rate ("SIFMA") and receives 70% of 3-month LIB OR plus .5%. At June 30, 2013, the basis swap has a fair value of$301,277.

The fair values of the swaps were estimated using the zero-coupon method. This method calculates the fu1ure net settlement payments required by the swap, assuming that current forward rates implied by the yield curve correctly anticipate future spot interest rates. These payments are then discounted using the spot rates implied by the current yield curve for hypothetical zero-coupon bonds due on the date of each future net settlement on the swap.
Credit risk. Credit risk is the risk that a counterparty will not fulfill its obligations according to the swap agreement. The School District mitigates credit risk associated with swap transactions by only entering into swaps with highly rated counterparties. As of June 30, 2013, the School District was exposed to credit risk in the amount of $301,277 on the 2011 basis swap and $514,700 on the outstanding option premium receivable of the 2010 swaption. The counterparty wasrate~ ~a3 ~:y_Moody's, AA- by Standard & Poor's, and AA !Jy Fitch.
Interest Rate Risk. On its receive fixed rate swap, as SIFMA swap index decreases, the School District's net payments on the swap increases.
Termination Risk. The School District or its counterparties may terminate a derivative instrument if the other party fails to perform under the terms of the contract. If at the time of termination, a hedging derivative instrument is in a liability position, the School District would be liable to the counterparty for a payment equal to the liability.

PENSION BENEFITS
All full-time and certain part-time employees of the School District participate in the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania Public School Employees' Retirement System ("PSERS"), a governmental cost-sharing multiple-employer defined benefit pension plan.
PSERS provides retirement and disability, legislatively mandated ad hoc cost-ofliving adjustments and healthcare premium assistance benefits to qualifying annuitants. The School District's and its employees' obligation to contribute to PSERS are established by authority of Act 96 of the Public School Employees' Retirement Code. Benefit provisions are established and amended by the PSERS board of trustees. PSERS issues a comprehensive annual financial report that includes financial statements and required supplementary information for the plan. A copy of the report may be obtained by writing to Public School Employees' Retirement System, P.O. Box 125, Harrisburg, Pennsylvania 1710-0125.
The School District's contribution rate was 12.02% in 2013, 8.72% in 2012, 5.80% in 2011of covered payroll. The School District's contributions to PSERS for the years ended June 30, 2013, 2012, and 2011 were approxi_mately $8,009,693 $5,880,623, and $3,904,293, respectively, equal to the required contractual contribution. The employees' contribution rates range from 5.25% to 7.50%, depending upon when the active member was hired and what benefits class is selected.
POSTEMPLOYMENT BENEFITS PLAN
A. Plan Description
The School District provides postretirement healthcare benefits for teachers and administrative employees who retire with at least 3 5 years of public school service in Pennsylvania or 3 0 years of public school service in Pennsylvania and have attained the age of 60 for teachers and 55 for administrators or later, up to age 65. The employee also shall have completed 20 years of service with the School District. The cost of such medical, vision, and dental coverage for retirees and spouses is determined by the contract provisions at the time of retirement. The plan provides post -retirement medical, prescription drug, and dental benefits. The plan is unfunded and no financial report is prepared. These benefits are accounted for in accordance with GASB Statement No. 45, Accounting and Financial Reporting by Employers for Postemployment Benefits Other Than Pensions. Retired teachers who are ineligible under the above requirements and choose to participate in the medical plan must pay 100% of the composite rate cost of such coverage.

POSTEMPLOYMENT BENEFITS (CONTINUED)
B. Funding Policy
The contribution requirements of plan members and the School District are established and may be amended by the School Board. The plan is funded on a pay-as-you-go basis, i.e., premiums are paid annually to fund the health care benefits provided to current retirees. Retiree contribution rates and amount vary depending on classification and years of services with the School District. The School District paid premiums of approximately $1,811,417 for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2013. Total retiree contributions made by plan members were $763,733 for fiscal year ended June 30, 2013.
C. Annual OPEB Cost and Net OPEB Obligation
The School District's annual other postemployment benefit (OPEB) cost (expense) is calculated based on the annual required contribution of the employer (ARC), an amount actuarially determined in accordance with the parameters of GASB Statement No. 45. The ARC represents a level of funding that, if paid on an ongoing basis, is projected to cover normal cost each year and amortize any unfunded actuarial liabilities (or funding excess) over a period not to exceed 30 years. The following show the components of the School District's annual OPEB cost for the year, the estimated amount contributed to the plan, and changes in the School District's net OPEB obligation:
Governmental Food Total Primary Activities Service Fund Government
Annual required contribution (ARC) $ 3,459,951 $ 104,791 $ 3,564,742

C. Annual OPEB Cost and Net OPEB Obligation (Continued)
The School District's annual OPEB cost, the percentage of annual OPEB cost contributed to the plan, and the net OPEB obligation for June 30, 2011, 2012, and 2013 were as follows:
Percentage of AnnualOPEB
Fiscal Year Annual Cost Net Ended OPEB Cost Contributed Obligation
June 30, 2013 $2,270,807 73% $12,744,561 June 30, 2012 $2,341,504 72% $12,137,160 June 30, 2011 $3,888,865 47% $11,474,020
D. Funded Status and Funding Progress
As of July I, 2011, the most recent actuarial valuation date, the plan was not funded. The actuarial accrued liability for benefits was $16.8 million, and there were no assets, resulting is an unfunded actuarial accrued liability (UAAL) of $16.8 million. The actuarial value of assets as a percentage of the actuarial accrued liability was 0%. The covered payroll was $62.7 million, and the ratio of the UAAL to the covered payroll was 26.8%.
Actuarial valuations involve estimates of the value of reported amounts and assumptions about the probability of events far into the future. Examples include assumptions about future employment, mortality, and the healthcare cost trend. Amounts determined regarding the funded status of the plan and the ARC are subject to continual revision as actual results are compared to past expectations and new estimates are made about the future. The schedule of funding progress, presented as RSI following the notes to the fmancial statements presents multiyear trend information about whether the actuarial value of plan assets are increasing or decreasing over time relative to the actuarial accrued liability for benefits.

NOTE 16:
CENTRAL DAUPHIN SCHOOL DISTRICT NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (CONTINUED)
JUNE 30, 2013
POSTEMPLOYMENT BENEFITS PLAN (CONTINUED)
E. Actuarial Methods and Assumptions
The calculations are based on the types of benefits provided under the terms of the School District's Retirement Benefits plan at the time of the valuation. The projection of benefits for financial reporting purposes does not explicitly incorporate the potential effects of legal or contractual funding limitations in the future. The actuarial methods and assumptions used incfude techniques that are designed to reduce the efforts of shortterm volatility in actuarial accrued liabilities and the actuarial value of assets, consistent with the long-term perspective of the calculations.
In the July I, 2011, actuarial valuation, the Early Age Normal Method was used. Under the Entry Age Normal Cost Method, the Normal Cost is the present value of benefits allocated to the year following the valuation date. Benefits are allocated on a level basis over the earnings of an individual between the date of hire and the assumed retirement age. The Accrued Liability as of the valuation date is the excess of the present value of future benefits over the present value of future Normal Cost. The Unfunded Accrued Liability is the excess of the Accrued Liability over the Actuarial Value of Assets. Actuarial gains and losses serve to reduce or increase the Unfunded Accrued Liability.
The actuarial assumptions included a 4.5% investment rate of return, which is the expected rate to be earned on the School District's deposits and investments, and an annual healthcare cost trend rate of 8.0% initially, reduced by .5% annually to a rate of 5.5% in 2016. The rates decrease from 5.3% in 2017 to 4.2% in 2089 and later based on the Society of Actuaries Long-Run Medical Cost Trend Model. The UAAL is being amortized as a level percentage of payroll over an eight year period on an open basis.
RISK MANAGEMENT
Since July I, 1997, it has been the policy of the School District not to purchase commercial health, dental, and vision insurance for the risks of losses to which it is exposed. Instead, the School District's management believes it is more economical to manage its risk internally. The School District pays all claims for risk of loss which the School District is exposed, including health, dental, and vision claims, which are administered by third parties. The School District has purchased stop loss insurance from commercial insurers that will reimburse the School District 100% of all medical claims over $110,000 per year per participant with exceptions.
Page 63
NOTE 16:
CENTRAL DAUPHIN SCHOOL DISTRICT NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (CONTINUED)
JUNE 30,2013
RISK MANAGEMENT (CONTINUED)
The School District will also receive a stop loss reimbursement of 100% for all medical claims which exceed $16,442,182 in the aggregate for the year. During the year ended June 30, 2013, the School District did not receive any stop loss reimbursements.
The District accounts for its self-insurance activity in its Internal Service Fund.
Liabilities are reported when it is probable that a loss has occurred and the amount of that loss can be reasonably estimated. Liabilities include an amount for claims that have been incurred but not reported. Because of delays between the time a claim is incurred and it is reported to the School District for payment, the estimated liability does not necessarily result in an exact amount. Changes in the School District's claims liability amount for the years ended June 30, 2013 and 2012 were:
2012 2013 Liability at beginnjng of year $ 712,171 $ 1,655,989 Current year c lairns 16,648,567 15,351,614 Less - c Ja_jm payments (15,704,7491 (15,187,525)
Liability - end of year ~$ 1,655,989 $ 1,820,078
NOTE 17:
The School District continues to carry commercial insurance for all other risks of loss including workers compensation, liability and property, and casualty insurance. Settled claims resulting from these risks have not exceeded commercial insurance coverage in any of the past three fiscal years. The selfinsurance liability is recorded as Accounts Payable in the Proprietary Fund Statement of Net Position and the Government - Wide Statement of Net Position.
CONTINGENT LIABILITIES
The School District is subject to real estate tax assessment appeals on an ongoing basis. If tax appeals are successful, the result is a loss of tax revenue to the School District. It is anticipated that any material loss of tax revenue on individual tax appeals will be offset with additional revenues from other properties or other sources of revenue and would not create a financial hardship to the School District.
Page 64
NOTE 17:
NOTE 18:
CENTRAL DAUPHIN SCHOOL DISTRICT NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (CONTINUED)
JUNE 30,2013
CONTINGENT LIABILITIES (CONTINUED)
The School District is involved in various lawsuits in the normal course of operations. Management cannot predict the outcome of all lawsuits or estimate the amount of any additional loss that may result. Accordingly, other than the $400,000 mentioned below, no provision has been made in the financial statements for any contingent liabilities that may result. Management believes that losses resulting from these matters, if any, would be covered by the accrual and the District's professional liability insurance policy and would not have a material effect on the financial position of the School District.
The School District participates in numerous state and federal grant programs, which are governed by various rules and regulations of the. grantor agencies. Costs charged to the respective grant programs are subject to audit and adjustment by the grantor agencies; therefore, to the extent that the School District has not complied with the rules and regulation governing the grants, refunds of any money received may be required and the collectability of any related receivables at June 30, 2013 may be impaired. In the opinion of the School District, there are no significant contingent liabilities relating to compliance with the rules and regulations governing the respective grants; therefore, no provision has been recorded in the accompanying financial statements for such contingencies.
The School District is involved in one lawsuit under which it may be responsible to pay future education costs of a student. An estimated liability of $400,000 has been accrued in the Government - Wide Statement of Net Position as an other liability.
INTERFUND RECEIVABLES AND PAY ABLES AND TRANSFERS
Interfund balances at June 30, 2013 are as follows:
