Page 7: Union Comprehensive Annual Financial Report

Union Public Schools, Independent District #9, Tulsa County, is a premiere Oklahoma school district with a strong sense of community pride. In fact, Union is its own community. Its 28-square-mile boundary does not reside within one particular city.

Instead, it encompasses both southeast Tulsa and a por-tion of the neighboring city of Broken Arrow, and the schools act as a unifying force for area residents. At the center of the community--our Main Street, if you will--is the school system with its more than 15,000 students, pre-kindergarten-12.

Parents choose the Union district for its all-around excellence--wide-ranging ac-ademic programs, varied school-related activities, strong emphasis on charac-ter development, outstanding teachers, respected elected and administrative leaders and remarkable facilities.

Each year the district has an impressive number of National Merit Scholars, and its graduating classes receive millions of dollars in scholarship offers to col-leges and universities throughout the country. Approxi-mately 91.7 percent of the 2008 graduating class pursued post-secondary education. Union is one of the leading districts in Oklahoma in the number of teachers earn-ing prestigious national certification, and its “Character Counts!” program is considered a statewide model.

When Union was founded in 1919, it combined four small, rural communities, Boles, McCollough, Mayo and Alsuma - and had only four students in its graduating class. Today it is the ninth largest district in Oklahoma and has thir-teen elementary schools, a Sixth/Seventh Grade Center, an Eighth Grade Center, an Intermediate High School, an Alternative School and a High School.

Union’s innovative curriculum features programs that pro-vide exemplary educational experiences for students at all elementary and secondary levels. Instructional technology offers students state-of-the-art tools to enhance reading, language, math, science and writing skills. Art, music and physical education enrich the traditional curriculum. Pro-fessionals in remedial reading, speech therapy and special education are assigned to the schools along with library media specialists, nurses and counselors. Courses for gift-ed students are offered at all levels, as are programs for English Language Learners.

Two Community Schools, complete with health care clin-ics and other agency services, are among Union’s 13 el-ementary schools. The Extended Day Program offers qual-ity child care before and after school at all elementary sites.

Pre-kindergarten programs for four-year-olds are avail-able throughout the district, and the Union Early Child-hood Center serves three-year-olds.

The comprehensive secondary curriculum serves both col-lege-bound and non-college-bound students. Core curricu-lum classes of varying levels of difficulty are offered to meet individual student needs. In addition to challenging Pre-AP classes, Union offers a variety of Advanced Place-ment classes which allow students to earn college credit while learning about a subject in greater depth and de-veloping study and analytical skills that are important to success in college. In partnership with Tulsa Community

College, Union offers a Concurrent En-rollment Program, enabling students to earn both high school and college credits at the same time.

The Union Collegiate Academy, a pro-gram at Union High School, provides top performing students exposure to college and career topics. Students interested in vocational programs are transported to the appropriate Tulsa Technology Center campus for the curriculum they desire.

Union’s award-winning Alternative School is internationally recognized and helps students stay in school or return to school, giving them a chance to get back on track to graduate.

Union’s strong sense of tradition and pride is underscored in its theme, “Working to Form a More Perfect Union.”

Transportation

Approximately 8,895 students were eli-gible for transporta-tion each day on the district’s 93 buses. Union’s buses drove more than 765,852 miles in 2008-2009.

Nineteen buses were used for summer school with five at McAuliffe, three at Cedar Ridge, two at Briarglen, three at the Intermediate High, three at Rosa Parks and three for special education. The district’s total cost for fuel was $317,882.60.

Child Nutrition

With 130 employees, the child nutrition department served 249,901 breakfasts and 1,326,185 lunches during the 2008-09 school year. In addition, 48,000 adult lunch-es and 2,600 adult breakfasts were served along with 151,200 early childhood meals and 20,444 after-school snacks. Meals are also served during the summer months for summer school. There were 11,364 breakfasts and 11,833 lunches provided during summer to needy chil-dren.

Maintenance Services

Maintenance services had 14 employees who processed 9,250 work orders annually ranging from electrical, tele-communications, mechanical, building electronics, hard-ware, carpentry, and preventive maintenance.

Facility services’ employees each kept 32.7 acres of school property manicured; set up and cleaned for more than 157 major events; and processed 131 work orders requir-ing 12,773 hours to complete. They also receive Okla-homa School Plant Management Association (OSPMA) and Oklahoma Turf Research Foundation training each year.

Custodial services had 154 employees with 92 night cus-todians who each maintained 30,000 square feet of build-ing space. Employees receive hands-on safety practice training. Eleven different languages were spoken, and Spanish and English classes were offered as was a Build-ing Engineer certification class.

Purchasing and Supply Management included three em-ployees and a safety coordinator. They handled procure-ment services, districtwide quotes and bids, contract re-view, maintenance repair and operations sourcing, and scheduling and maintaining facility rentals and agree-ments.

Warehouse and distribution services involved eight em-ployees who were responsible for food storage and distri-bution, central receiving, daily mail and delivery service, custodial supply distribution, records storage and mainte-nance and instructional supply distribution.

Union Multipurpose Activity Center (UMAC)

Four employees at the Union Multipurpose Activity Center coordinated UMAC events and facility rental. The number of events held at the UMAC during 2008-2009 totaled 994 with an average of 18 events per week. The UMAC also houses the U-Wear store which markets Union spirit wear and items, the Fine Arts Department, the Athletics Depart-ment and an in-house production studio.

Construction/Facilities

Between 400 and 500 people celebrated the grand opening of Central Park at Union in September. Visitors got a chance to see the new facilities and eat Backyard Burgers. KHITS 106.9 provided music and Board of Education member Jeff Bennett, who owns Curves fitness club, provided teth-ered hot air balloon rides. Voters approved construction of the park as part of two different bond issues. The first phase included a JV/Intramural-style football field, space for soccer and baseball, a concession stand, restrooms, a play area for younger c h i l d r e n , and a track that circles the property for jogging or running. The sec-ond phase, which be-gan in the summer of 2008, in-cluded an outdoor classroom, additional running track, and baseball backstops.

In the wake of high gas and utility prices, Superintendent Dr. Cathy Burden asked employees to help save money by cutting back on energy-related costs. With prices soar-ing around the nation, Union started the school year with a plan to save fuel and cut energy costs. The plan fo-cused on transportation and building-level conservation

focal part of the school. A new entrance was installed so the front of the media center could be seen from the com-mons area. A new circulation desk, new carpet, and a new front door also spruced up the area. Two science rooms at the High School were also remodeled, the old sisal wall covering on several hallways was removed, and a new se-cured entryway for the front entrance was built.

Growth continued during the 2008-2009 school year, al-though it slowed to less than one percent. Union served 14,658 students – 6,993 at the elementary level and 7,665 in grades 6-12; 7,536 were male and 7,122 were female. In terms of ethnic origin, 9.9 percent were Native Ameri-can, 18 percent were Hispanic, 14.3 percent were African American, 6.8 percent were Asian, and 51 percent were Caucasian.

There were 4,085 first through twelfth grade students en-rolled in Union’s gifted and talented program.

Ten percent or 1,470 of our students were enrolled in spe-cial education.

In 2008-2009, ap-proximate-ly 3,126 s t u d e n t s throughout the district were bi-lingual or lived in a home where a language other than English was spoken, compared to 206 in 1995. The total bilingual count included 39 different languages.

More than 38.5 percent of our students reported that they lived with just one of their biological parents – 4,984 (34 percent) lived with their mothers and 658 (4.5 percent) with their fathers.

to save hundreds of thousands of dollars. The number of stops buses made was reduced, as was mileage for ath-letic, fine arts, and out-of-town trips. Instead of the mile minimum eligibility, Intermediate and High School stu-dents were required to live at least a mile-and-a-half from school in order to be transported. Elementary and sec-ondary school field trips were reduced, and every site or department was charged back for its transportation costs.

Union dedicated its thirteenth elementary school – Thomas Jef-ferson Elementary – in November. Jef-ferson opened August 14, 2008, providing for expansion of the program for four-year-olds districtwide. Voters approved the construction and fur-nishing of the school through a series of bond elections start-ing in 2006. The first was for $2.5 million

for site development, soil testing, engineering and archi-tectural consultants. The second bond election in 2007 included $9.5 million for construction of the site, and vot-ers approved another $1.9 million in 2008 for furniture, fixtures, and equipment at the school.

District voters approved a $20-million bond issue by 83.6 percent in February. Major projects included extensive re-modeling at Grove and updating at the Union Performing Arts Center. At 35 years old, Grove was in desperate need of classroom, cafeteria, and gymnasium expansions due to growth in student enrollment. Additional restrooms and a new main entrance with added security features were also planned.

Other projects in the 2009 bond issue included replace-ment of old balcony handrails, lighting and stage cabling, equipment and decorations at the Union Performing Arts Center; roof replacement at Clark Elementary and build-ings at three other school sites; a second phase of remod-eling at the softball and baseball complex; and upgrad-ing the Eighth Grade Center’s gym and outside basketball courts.

High School students returned in the fall to a media center in the midst of construction - an effort to make it a more

middle school. Students had a chance to experience Lock-er 101, Cafeteria Drill Squad, Class Changing, a building tour and even meet principals, counselors, and some of the teachers.

Six Tulsa County school districts were among more than 300 commended by State Superintendent Sandy Garrett and the State Board of Education for exceeding the mini-mum required teaching time per year. After criticizing a school-calendar law that took effect in May, the State Board passed a resolution that recognized districts hav-ing more than the minimum 1,050 hours or 175 days of instruction time.

Union agreed to be a part of the Community Agenda for America’s Public Schools, an action plan to ensure that all children enter school healthy, ready to learn and succeed. It prepares students to pursue postsecondary education and become productive family and community members. Key national leaders from education, youth development, community engagement, health and social services, and higher education organizations signed on to a set of strat-egies and solutions enabling communities to support pub-lic education.

Five students successfully completed Union’s workforce development program, “Blueprints for Building Futures,” and all five were recruited to work full-time in construc-tion. The pilot program was an innovative, work-based in-struction option for 18-21 year-olds in Tulsa County seek-ing their high school diplomas or GEDs while acquiring a professional construction-related skill.

More than 230 students tapped into technology to engage in different subjects and meet graduation requirements using the self-paced Apex Learning software. Students worked independently and at their own pace and had the abil-ity to work at home which al-lowed them to proceed even faster according to their needs and desires.

E l i z a b e t h T h o m a n , founder of the Center for Media Literacy in Los Angeles and a 30-year pioneer, teacher, and strategist in media literacy, toured the High School TV studio and was interviewed and filmed by broadcasting students.

The 6th/7th Grade Center welcomed Chinese principal Mr. Qian Xiaobo from Chongqing, China, who shadowed Prin-cipal Steve Pittman and Assistant Principal Dr. Pamela Bradley in February. The visit was sponsored by the China Education Association for International Exchange, China’s nationwide non-profit o r g a n i z a -tion which conducts in-ternational educational exchanges to advance e d u c a -tion and strengthen understand-ing and friendship among people of all countries and regions of the world.

Twenty-eight High School students were served in the new ACE teacher cadet course - a primer in teacher education. Students spent the first three quarters in class learning about the sociology, history, and philosophy of education and the final quarter “student teaching.” The program was sponsored by the Oklahoma Board of Regents and a partnership with NSU Broken Arrow.

EDGE, a summer high school readiness program, was de-signed to give incoming ninth graders an introduction to life in High School while at the same time earning credit towards graduation. Each student who completed all 15 days earned ½ credit towards graduation in either U.S. Government or an elective. In addition to the U.S. Gov-ernment component, they focused on organizational and study skills, high school mathematics preparation, and language arts skills.

Union’s FOCUS program served students in 7th, 8th, and 9th grade with a modified four-class block schedule. Stu-dents received 55 percent more instructional time in math and English with an emphasis on literacy in all classes. Class sizes averaged twenty students per teacher and each FOCUS group was assigned a counselor. The prima-ry objective was to create an environment where students were provided with the necessary support to experience academic success and the necessary skills to proceed aca-demically.

The Williams Companies donated $5,000 each for Union’s annual holiday I-Care program and the after-school ES-CAPE program at the 6th/7th Grade Center. The total

Rosa Parks Elementary had approximately 70 QuikTrip volunteers working in the building and in the garden dur-ing September. They helped spruce up the garden area and added some features as part of the district’s Global Gardening program. The volunteers built a pergola and raised beds, built a fence, assembled picnic tables, paint-ed a hop scotch area, built bird feeders and worked inside the school as well.

The Community Ac-tion Project of Tulsa County (CAP) and Union opened the Rosa Parks Early Childhood Education Center in September. The cen-ter provides 12 class-rooms to serve about 200 three-year-olds. The Rosa Parks Early Childhood Education Center is operated by Union in partner-ship with CAP. It is supported by funding from the state of Okla-

homa and private donors, including the George Kaiser Family Foundation, as part of the state’s Pilot Early Child-hood Program, which seeks to enhance and expand high quality early childhood education throughout Oklahoma for children birth through three years of age.

The George Kaiser Family Foundation donated $250,000 to Union’s FOCUS program which provides academic counseling to students in grades 7-10 who need to make marked improvements in math and English. The funds were used to pay for three FOCUS counselors, two teacher aides, administrative expenses, and student incentives and field trip expenses. Union’s Focus on Creating and Understanding Success (FOCUS) program was created in 2007 to provide students with the needed support and structure to assist them to be academically successful.

The High School was awarded a $4,700 grant for a part-nership with Northeastern State University’s College of Education to support projects connected to the ACE teacher cadet program.

About 1,200 educators attended a national education con-ference hosted by Union at the Renaissance Tulsa Hotel & Convention Center in July. Sponsored by Solution Tree, a national education organization, the Professional Learn-ing Communities at Work Institute was designed to help educators implement the most promising strategies for improving their schools in substantive ways and helping students learn. This was the third year Union had been a part of the conference and the first year to host it.

In an effort to ensure safety and promote a healthy learn-ing environment, Union worked directly with secondary students to talk about concerns they faced every day and how to deal with them using the S.A.R.A. (Scanning, Analy-sis, Response and Assessment) program. Under S.A.R.A., students identified negative issues that might adversely affect them at school, such as apathy, low self-esteem, peer pressure and so on, and then worked with teachers to develop responses to deal with those issues.

R e g a r d -ing media c o v e r a g e , C o m m u -n i c a t i o n s Representa-tives from school sites, district de-partments and booster clubs pro-vided more than 100

news stories or tips and some 3,000 photographs every month! Union was in the local news approximately 425 times throughout the year, and of that coverage, 56 per-cent was considered to be positive; seven percent nega-tive, and 37 percent neutral.

Winnercomm, a sports production company, donated a news set to Union High School for its television studio, giving the Union Football Coach’s Show a new look. The addition of the Inside Union segment, a short video featur-ing outstanding Union students and/or programs, broad-ened the show’s appeal. A partnership with Radio Station 97.1 FM The Sports Animal brought new host Kevin Ward to the show and landed Union’s game broadcasts, which were previously on KRMG Radio, on The Sports Animal.

During 2008-2009, the Information Technology depart-ment completed 11,276 work orders. More than 60% of those were completed remotely by the three technicians in the solution center while the end user was on the phone with them.

The IT department completed several projects funded by the 2008 bond issue including installation of all computer and networking equipment for the new Jefferson Elemen-tary; upgrade of labs with new computer systems at the Sixth & Seventh Grade, the Eighth Grade, the Intermediate

High and the High School; replacement of all secondary student files servers (4); installation of hardware and soft-ware for the Safari Montage Video-on-Demand systems at all schools; upgrade of 300 teacher and administrator computer systems; and installation of the new media cen-ter program (Destiny) at all schools.

In cooperation with the Operations De-partment, 120 SMART Interactive white boards were installed at all sites; new phone systems were installed at Cedar Ridge and Jarman; and two Intel-ligent Science Class-rooms were remod-eled and installed.

IT teamed with Stu-dent Assessment for the installation of 650 laptops for end-of-in-struction (EOI) testing in the spring and for use the rest of the year by each site for instruction.

The new student/parent/employee calling system, (Con-nect-ED), was installed and used extensively throughout the year to inform parents and employees of school clos-ings and important events.

Over the summer, the hard drives on all student comput-ers (3,100) were erased and re-imaged. The computers were then re-named and re-joined to the network.

Union Public Schools is located within the Tulsa Metro-politan Statistical Area (MSA), a seven county area whose population exceeds 905,755 or 25.1 percent of the popu-lation of the state of Oklahoma. The Tulsa Metropolitan Chamber of Commerce reports Tulsa’s major industries as aerospace, transportation and logistics; advanced manufacturing and services; health care; IT and telecom-munications; petroleum and natural gas; architectural and structural metal manufacturing. The Chamber estimates the value of all goods and services produced in the Tulsa MSA as $33.6 billion, or 29 percent of the Oklahoma econ-omy. Forbes Magazine in 2008 ranked Tulsa fifth high-est among the 200 largest metro areas in the country to weather a recession. Tulsa offers a low cost of doing busi-ness at seven percent under the U.S. average due to low rent, energy costs, and taxes. Other qualities that attract new growth are Tulsa’s sound infrastructure and low cost of living. Tulsa has not experienced the same reduction in the housing market caused by the mortgage/ housing crisis as the rest of the country. An October 2009 arti-

cle in Business Week ranked Tulsa as having the seventh strongest metro economy in the United States, crediting a solid housing market as one of the criteria for the city’s success (see Statistical Section on pages 95-96 for addi-tional demographic details).

However, the ongoing turmoil in the national and international fi-nancial markets does have an effect on the area’s economy. The Office of the State Treasurer reports that the state ended its fis-cal year with revenues below projections due to a decline in gross production taxes on oil and natural gas, a reflection of low prices of these com-modities. These lower oil and gas prices will

continue to negatively affect state revenues in the cur-rent year as the state feels the impact of slower revenue streams and rising operating costs.

The unemployment rate in the Tulsa MSA declined to 4.1 percent in 2007, then continued a decline to a 2008 level of 3.8 percent. However, the Tulsa Metropolitan Chamber of Commerce projects the 2009 unemployment rate to in-crease to 5.1 percent. It also projects that the rate will fluctuate between 4.8 and 5.5 percent through 2012 as the impact of the current national economic event filters through Oklahoma. Union Public Schools contributes to Tulsa’s workplace initiatives by offering community pro-grams for both adults and children such as:

* Adult Basic Education – classes for adults who need basic instruction in reading, writing, math, and life skills,

* Workplace Education – links education goals to the employ- er’s desire for high performance work and product quality, * G.E.D. Preparation – instruction to prepare adults to take the Tests of General Educational Development (G.E.D.),

* English as a Second Language – instruction to non- English speaking adults to help them be productive citizens of our community.

The district continues to be a leader in healthcare ini-tiatives. A joint effort between University of Oklahoma School-Based Bedlam Clinic and Union Public Schools pro-duces cutting-edge services for the Union community. The Union Public Schools Bedlam School-Based Health Clinic operates at both Roy Clark Elementary School, and Rosa

Parks Elementary School. These clinics provide a conve-nient way for students to receive a wide range of health care services. They operate at no cost to the school dis-trict. The primary goal of the clinics is to serve the fami-lies of all children in each of the schools, including those who qualify for Medicaid or have no health insurance. The school clinics provide at least one full-time physician’s as-sistant or a resident physician. In addition, a pediatrician visits each school clinic as part of a rotating schedule. The physicians work with and assist school nurses.

In addition to student healthcare, Union partners with the University of Oklahoma Physicians-Tulsa to provide low cost medical services for its employees through an em-ployee clinic. This unique partnership provides access to quality healthcare while controlling escalating healthcare costs. The clinic is staffed by a fully-licensed OU physi-cian, a physician assistant and a licensed practical nurse. Even some pharmacy services are available.

Union has experienced significant growth in student en-r o l l m e n t . During the 2000-2001 school year, the district r e c o r d e d total en-rollment of 13,054. In 2008-2009, enrollment r e a c h e d 14,658. The administra-tion projects enrollment in the 2009-2010 school year to reach more than 15,000 students with the continuation of the four-year-old program to every elementary site and the three-year-old program, serving approximately 1,109 students in both programs. A steady yet moderate growth is forecast through 2010. Additional enrollment details may be found in the Statistical Section of this CAFR.

To accommodate this growth in student population, the district maintains over 2.5 million square feet of facilities, including thirteen elementary schools (grades pre-kin-dergarten-five), a Sixth/Seventh Grade Center, an Eighth Grade Center, an Intermediate High School (grades 9-10), an Alternative School serving both middle school and high school students, a High School (grades 11-12), and an Edu-cation Service Center. The district’s newest construction includes an early childhood center which opened in the fall of 2008. Please refer to the Statistical Section of this CAFR for additional facility details.

On February 10, 2009, district voters overwhelmingly ap-proved a $20-million bond proposal which included funds for phase II of the baseball/softball complex; performing arts center upgrades, furniture; acquisition of textbooks, media books and instructional hardware/software; and building repairs and renovations to sites districtwide. Other equally crucial items on the ballot included text-books and classroom materials; library books; instruction-al equipment; technology, operations equipment, security cameras and equipment, building repairs and renovations to sites districtwide.

During the 2008-2009 school year, Union received more than $9.3 million in federal grant money. Grants were used to fund such programs as drug education, special education, professional development, remedial programs, enrichment programs in math and reading, and supplies and materials.

The dis-trict’s child n u t r i t i o n program re-ceived more than $2.8 million in federal and state mon-ey. Approx-imately 42% of Union’s s t u d e n t s were eligible for free or reduced meals.

The American Recovery and Reinvestment Act of 2009 (ARRA) appropriated significant new funding for pro-grams under the Individuals with Disabilities Education Act (IDEA) and under Title I. The overall goals of the ARRA funds are to stimulate the economy in the short-term and invest in education and other essential public services to ensure the long-term economic health of our nation. ARRA funds were distributed quickly to states and other entities in order to avert layoffs and create jobs. Union Public Schools received in excess of $2.3 million of ARRA funds for 2008-2009.

Management of the district is responsible for establishing and maintaining an internal control structure designed to ensure that the assets of the district are protected from loss, theft or misuse and to ensure that adequate account-

ing data is compiled to allow for the preparation of fi-nancial statements in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP). The internal control struc-ture is designed to provide reasonable, but not absolute, assurance that these objectives are met. The concept of reasonable assurance recognizes that 1) the cost of a con-trol should not exceed the benefits likely to be derived; and 2) the valuation of costs and benefits requires esti-mates and judgments by management.

The Board of Education of Union Public Schools, in con-junction with the Superintendent and Chief Financial Offi-cer, establishes a sys-tem of sound financial planning and manage-ment to assure that the district’s objec-tives are addressed and that funds are ex-pended in accordance with plans expressed through the Board budget. The financial management system components include: 1) a planning pro-cess that consists of a review of state stat-utes, Board policies, concepts, ideas, prob-lems, constraints, approaches and systems before dollar amounts are established in the budget; and 2) a budget that is the expression of the plans of the Board through three main budgets – the General Fund, a Special Revenue Fund and the Child Nutrition Fund.

The district utilizes budgetary controls to ensure compli-ance with legal appropriation limitations and to provide an operating plan for the district’s resources. The annual appropriated budget includes activity of the General, Spe-cial Revenue Funds and Child Nutrition Funds. Capital projects activity is controlled with approval of project-length financial plans. Initial budgets are adopted at the beginning of the fiscal year with periodic amendments ap-proved by the Board as necessary.

The level of budgetary control is maintained by fund, proj-ect, and function. Individual line items may be adjusted without Board action, but total budgeted expenditures may not exceed appropriations at the major fund level without Board approval. The district utilizes an encum-brance system as a technique of budgetary control with encumbered appropriations lapsing at year end.

Independent Auditors’ Report To the Board of Education Union Public Schools Tulsa, Oklahoma We have audited the accompanying financial statements of the governmental activities, business-type activities, and each major fund of Union Public Schools (the “District”) as of and for the year ended June 30, 2009, which collectively comprise the District’s basic financial statements as listed in the table of contents. These financial statements are the responsibility of the District’s management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion 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 financial 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 of material misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements, assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believe that our audit provides a reasonable basis for our opinion. In our opinion, the financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the respective financial position of the governmental activities, the business-type activities, and each major fund of the District, as of June 30, 2009, and the respective changes in financial position and cash flows, where applicable, thereof and the respective budgetary comparisons for the General Fund and the Building Fund, for the year then ended, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. Management’s Discussion and Analysis on pages 25 through 36 and the Schedule of Funding Progress for Other Post Employment Benefits on page 70 are not required parts of the basic financial statements but are supplementary information required by the Governmental Accounting Standards Board. We have applied certain limited procedures, which consisted principally of inquiries of management regarding the methods of measurement and presentation of supplementary information. However, we did not audit the information and express no opinion on it.

Our audit was conducted for the purpose of forming opinions on the financial statements that collectively comprise the District’s basic financial statements. The combining and individual nonmajor fund financial statements and other schedules, listed in the table of contents as Combining Schedules and Capital Assets Used in the Operation of Governmental Funds, respectively, are presented for purposes of additional analysis and are not a required part of the basic financial statements. Such information has been subjected to the auditing procedures applied in the audit of the basic financial statements and, in our opinion, is fairly presented, in all material respects, in relation to the basic financial statements taken as a whole. The accompanying Introductory and Statistical sections, as listed in the table of contents, have not been subjected to the auditing procedures applied in the audit of the basic financial statements and, accordingly, we express no opinion on them.

The Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Union Public School District’s financial performance provides a narrative overview of the district’s financial activities for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2009. The intent of this discussion and analysis is to look at the district’s financial performance as a whole. Readers should also review the transmittal letter, notes to the basic financial statements, and supplementary information to enhance their understanding of the district’s financial performance. Financial Highlights

Key financial highlights for fiscal year 2009 are as follows:

» In total, net assets increased $5.03 million. Net assets of governmental activities increased $4.53 million which represents a 3.4 percent increase from fiscal year 2008.

» Net assets of business-type activities increased $498,444 or 20.1 percent from fiscal year 2008.

» General revenues accounted for $95.53 million in revenue or 77.6 percent of all revenues. Program specific revenues in the form of charges for services and sales, grants and contributions accounted for $27.57 million or 22.4 percent of total revenues of $123.09 million.

» The district had $113.43 million in expenses related to governmental activities; only $22.45 million of these expenses were offset by program specific charges for services, grants or contributions. Expenses are shown in programs that are easily identifiable utilizing the current Oklahoma Cost Accounting System (OCAS) coding structure.

» Among the major funds, the general fund had $94.90 million in revenues, $91.74 million in expenditures, and $441,975 in transfers into the fund resulting in a fund balance increase of $3.60 million. The building fund had $3.59 million in revenues, $4.31 million in expenditures, and $434,125 in transfers into the fund yielding a fund balance decrease of $286,140. Bond fund revenues totaled $241,592 and bond sale proceeds were $20.0 million. Expenditures in the bond fund totaled $20.82 million. The sinking fund had $18.93 million in revenues and $17.61 million in expenditures.

» Net assets for the child nutrition enterprise fund increased $498,444. This increase resulted from operating revenues of $2.10 million and nonoperating revenues of $3.03 million exceeding operating expenses of $4.63 million.

Overview of the Financial Statements

This Comprehensive Annual Financial Report (CAFR) consists of a series of basic financial statements: 1) government-wide financial statements, 2) fund financial statements, and 3) notes to the financial statements. Other supplementary information is included in addition to the basic financial statements. These statements are organized so the reader can understand Union Public School District as a financial whole, an entire operating entity. The statements then proceed to provide an increasingly detailed look at specific financial activities.

Government-wide financial statements. The government-wide financial statements are designed to provide information about the activities of the district as a whole, presenting both an aggregate view of the district’s finances and a longer-term view of those finances.

The Statement of Net Assets presents information on all of the district’s assets and liabilities, with the difference between the two reported as net assets.

25

Page 31: Union Comprehensive Annual Financial Report

The Statement of Activities presents information showing how the district’s net assets changed during fiscal year 2009.

While this document contains the large number of funds used by the district to provide programs and activities, the view of the district as a whole looks at all financial transactions and asks the question, “How did we do financially during 2009?” The Statement of Net Assets and the Statement of Activities answer this question. These statements include all assets and liabilities using the accrual basis of accounting similar to the accounting used by most private-sector companies. This basis of accounting takes into account all of the current year’s revenues and expenditures regardless of when cash is received or paid.

These two statements report the district’s net assets and changes in those assets. This change in net assets is important because it tells the reader that, for the district as a whole, its financial position has improved or diminished. The causes of this change may be the result of many factors—some financial, some not. Non-financial factors include the district’s property tax base, current property tax laws in Oklahoma restricting revenue growth, facility conditions, mandated educational programs, and other factors.

The Statement of Net Assets and the Statement of Activities are divided into two distinct types of activities:

» Governmental activities—most of the district’s programs and services are reported here, including instruction, support services, operation and maintenance of plant, pupil transportation, and extracurricular activities.

» Business-type activities—these goods or services are provided on a fee basis to recover all of the expenses of the goods or services provided. The district’s child nutrition program is reported as a business-type activity.

The government-wide financial statements can be found beginning on page 37.

Fund Financial Statements. A fund is a grouping of related accounts that is used to maintain control over resources that have been segregated for specific activities or objectives. Union Public School District uses fund accounting to ensure and demonstrate compliance with finance-related legal requirements. All of the funds can be divided into three categories: 1) governmental funds, 2) proprietary funds, and 3) fiduciary funds.

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

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

Information is presented separately in the governmental fund balance sheet and in the governmental fund statement of revenues, expenditures, and changes in fund balances for the general fund, the building fund, the sinking (debt service) fund and the bond fund, all of which are considered to be major funds. A summary of the district’s major funds can be found in Note A of the notes to the financial statements beginning on page 51 of this report.

Page 32: Union Comprehensive Annual Financial Report

The basic governmental fund financial statements begin on page 41 of this report.

Proprietary Funds. Proprietary funds use the same basis of accounting as business-type activities. The basic proprietary fund financial statements begin on page 46 of this report.

Fiduciary Funds. Fiduciary funds are not reflected in the government-wide financial statement because the resources of those funds are not available to support the district’s own programs. The accounting used for fiduciary funds is much like that used for proprietary funds. The basic fiduciary fund financial statements begin on page 49 of this report.

Notes to the financial statements. The notes provide additional information that is essential to a full understanding of the data provided in the government-wide and fund financial statements. The notes to the financial statements can be found beginning on page 51 of this report.

Other information. In addition to the basic financial statements and accompanying notes, this report also presents certain required supplementary information concerning the district.

Government-Wide Financial Analysis

Recall that the Statement of Net Assets provides the perspective of the district as a whole.

Total assets were $219.63 million. Cash and cash equivalents were $39.48 million. Investments totaled $34.35 million. Capital assets net of depreciation were $119.01 million. Taxes and other receivables were $3.40 million. Net assets of the district’s governmental activities increased by $4.53 million. This increase is primarily attributable to increases in student growth, state and local funding sources and current ad valorem collections, which affect the general fund, building fund and sinking fund. The district was able to increase its ending fund balance percentage in the general fund to 13.99 percent on a budgetary basis, which placed it in a favorable operating position to weather the economic downturn. The district will continue to monitor state revenue projections and market conditions to anticipate circumstances that may warrant changes in spending in the next fiscal year.

The net assets of the district’s business-type activities increased by $498,444. Analysis of the child nutrition activity indicates that it should remain stable and self-supporting.

Governmental Activities. As reported in the Statement of Activities on beginning on page 38 the cost of the district’s governmental activities for the year ended June 30, 2009, was $113.43 million. However, not all of this cost was borne by the taxpayers. Of this amount, $2.11 million was paid by those who used or benefited from the services rendered (e.g., charges for before and after school care and summer school tuition), and $20.34 million was paid through various federal and state grants and contributions. Consequently, the net cost of $90.98 million, after taking into consideration these fees and subsidies, was paid by the taxpayers, unrestricted federal and state aid, and other general revenues.

Graph 1 below illustrates the cost of services in the district’s three largest programs -- instruction, support services, and food services. The graph compares the cost of the services with the revenues generated by the program.

Total governmental revenues were $117.97 million. Graph 2 illustrates the components of this revenue. Governmental activities increased the district’s net assets by $4.53 million, thereby accounting for a majority of the growth in the net assets of the district.

Instruction comprised 56.29 percent of governmental program expenditures. Support services expenditures made up 43.71 percent of governmental expenditures. Graph 3 illustrates the components of the expenses in the governmental activities.

The increase in student instructional services expenses represents, in large part, the district’s multi-year plan to prioritize instructional services to address such issues as class size, curriculum development, and negotiated teacher raises.

The increase in student instructional services expenses represents, in large part, the district’s multi-year plan to prioritize instructional services to address such issues as class size, curriculum development, and negotiated teacher raises.

Business-Type Activities. Business-type activities consist of child nutrition services. This program had operating revenues of $2.10 million, nonoperating revenues of $3.02 million, and expenses of $4.63 million for fiscal year 2009.

The increase in Child Nutrition expenditures reflects additional student growth as well as an increase in the cost of food. The Child Nutrition fund ended the year in a positive financial condition. Management has reviewed this program and, barring any unforeseen problems, the child nutrition program should remain stable and require no support from tax revenues.

Financial Analysis of the Government’s Funds

As noted earlier, Union Public School District uses fund accounting to ensure and demonstrate compliance with finance-related legal requirements.

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

As of the end of the current fiscal year, the district’s governmental funds reported combined ending fund balances of $59.89 million. Approximately $23.86 million of this total amount constitutes unreserved fund balance. Of this amount, $21.67 million is undesignated and available for spending at the district’s discretion, while the remainder is designated for compensated balances ($1.31 million); incurred claims ($118,494); and early retirement incentives ($769,561). The remainder of fund balance is specifically reserved to indicate that it is not available for new spending because it has already been committed to debt service ($9.77 million); capital projects ($25.26 million); arbitrage ($756,470); and inventories ($217,198).

The general fund is the chief operating fund of the district. At the end of the current fiscal year, unreserved fund balance of the general fund was $17.08 million. As a measure of the general fund’s liquidity, it may be useful to compare both unreserved fund balance and total fund balance to total fund expenditures. Unreserved fund balance represents 18.62 percent of total general fund expenditures.

The fund balance of the district’s general fund increased by $3.60 million during the current fiscal year. This increase is due primarily as a result of a $2.64 million increase in the district’s mid-term state aid allocation, estimated ad valorem collections above the 95 percent level budgeted, increases in the State Flexible Benefit Allowance, and an upfront Federal Stimulus (ARRA) funding for use in 2009-2010. The American Recovery and Reinvestment Act of 2009 (ARRA) appropriated significant new funding for programs under the Individuals with Disabilities Education Act (IDEA) and under Title I. The overall goals of the ARRA funds are to stimulate the economy in the short-term and invest in education and other essential public services to ensure the long-term economic health of our nation. ARRA funds were distributed quickly to states and other entities in order to avert layoffs and create jobs. Union Public Schools received in excess of $2.32 million of ARRA funds for 2008-2009.

Controlling fiscal year-end expenses to maintain a continuing level of fund balance is also a contributing factor to the district’s financial stability. The district relies on the ending fund balance to meet cash flow needs during the first six months of the following fiscal year. While a small portion of the revenue is collected during the first six months of the fiscal year, the significant revenue collections occur in late spring. This annual cash flow trend requires the district to

31

Page 37: Union Comprehensive Annual Financial Report

increase the ending fund balance each year as the expenditure budget grows in order to meet cash flow requirements of the first six months prior to tax revenues being collected.

The general fund revenue budget was revised during the year to reflect the mid-term state aid revenue increase of $2.64 million, primarily due to student growth. The official October 2008 child count of 14,566 reflected that the district grew by 209 actual students and 746 weighted students. The district initially built a based on zero student growth. In addition, the district received the Federal Stimulus (ARRA) payment of $2.32 million, and other smaller revenue changes for a total combined revenue budget change of $5.49 million.

The general fund expenditure budget was also increased during the year by $4.19 million to fund the 145 new positions required to open Thomas Jefferson Elementary, to allow the expansion of the district’s all-day four-year-old program, and to open the CAPTC Rosa Parks three-year-old program. In addition, the increase to the expenditure budget covered the state-mandated increases in the State Flexible Benefit Allowance, the employer-paid teacher retirement contribution, rising utility costs, the Federal Stimulus (ARRA) allocation, and the payment of a one-tine year-end employee stipend.

The variance in the final budget versus the actual revenues and expenditures revealed a variance in revenues of $571,638 and a variance in expenditures of $4.78 million. The approved final expenditure budget was intentionally larger than anticipated actual expenditures to provide the flexibility necessary to manage any unanticipated revenue receipts and expenditures incurred in the final days of the fiscal year.

The building fund had a total fund balance of $4.59 million. The net decrease in fund balance during the current year in the building fund was $286,140. This planned decrease in fund balance is attributed to the $1.4 million allocated to fund a portion of the Union Multipurpose Activity Center (UMAC) operating and utility expenses, safety initiatives including County School Resource Officers, as well as custodial positions for the district’s newest facilities, Thomas Jefferson Elementary and the CAPTC Rosa Parks Building. The Oklahoma Constitution allows building funds to be used for erecting, remodeling, repairing, or maintaining school buildings; purchasing furniture, equipment, or computer software; paying energy and utility costs; purchasing telecommunications services; paying fire and casualty insurance premiums; purchasing security systems; and paying salaries of security personnel. The ending fund balance will be used for those purposes.

The sinking (debt service) fund had a total fund balance of $9.80 million, all of which was reserved for the payment of debt service. The net increase in fund balance during the current year in the debt service fund was $1.07 million. Millage rates for sinking fund levies are not controlled by the district but are set annually by the Tulsa County Excise Board after a thorough review of property valuations and the district’s debt service needs.

The bond fund had a total fund balance of $25.26 million, all of which was reserved for capital projects. The net decrease in fund balance during the current year in the bond fund was $1.15 million. This decrease in fund balance is primarily the result of the construction costs to complete Thomas Jefferson Elementary, and also lower interest rate revenue. On February 10, 2009, district voters approved a $20 million bond proposal which included funds for phase II of the baseball/softball complex; performing arts center upgrades, furniture; acquisition of textbooks, media books and instructional hardware/software; and building repairs and renovations to sites districtwide. Other equally crucial items on the ballot included: textbooks and classroom materials; library books; instructional equipment; technology, operations equipment, security cameras and equipment, building repairs and renovations to sites district wide. Because of its strong patron support base, the district is prudent to keep bonded capacity at traditional levels while not imposing an undue tax burden on the community. Statutory requirements dictate that bond funds be used for the voter-approved purposes of acquiring school sites, constructing and equipping new school facilities, renovating existing facilities, and acquiring transportation equipment.

Proprietary Funds. Union Public School District’s proprietary funds provide the same type of information found in the government-wide financial statements, but in more detail. The proprietary funds have operating revenues of $10.67 million and nonoperating revenues of $3.11 million. Operating expenses were $12.86 million.

General Fund Budgetary Highlights

Union Public School District adopts an annual appropriated budget for its general fund. The district’s budget is prepared according to Oklahoma law and is based on accounting for certain transactions on a basis of cash receipts, disbursements, and encumbrances. The most significant budgeted fund is the general fund.

For the general fund, budget basis revenue was $95.38 million with original budget estimates of $90.46 million and a final budget of $95.95 million. The majority of the revenue increase came from mid-term state aid, Federal Stimulus (ARRA) funding, and ad valorem collections.

The final expenditure budget was intentionally approved to be larger than needed in order to provide the necessary spending authority to the district by the Board to meet the State of Oklahoma spending requirements. The district must have sufficient budget spending authority to allow for any unanticipated revenues that might be collected during the last thirty calendar days of the fiscal year. During 2007-2008, the majority of the additional spending authority was allocated to the instructional function area. Because the revenue collections were within $571,638 of the final revenue budget, it was not necessary to spend the entire expenditure budget in order to stay within the carryover limit required by the Board. Senate Bill 531 was passed by the Legislature to allow districts with $10 million or more in general fund collections to carry forward an ending fund balance of up to 14 percent.

Capital Assets and Debt Administration

Capital Assets. At the end of fiscal year 2009, the district had $141.66 million in property, plant and equipment (net of depreciation), of which $141.19 million was in governmental activities. Table 3 shows a comparison of fiscal years 2009 and 2008 balances.

Capital assets of $225.56 million exceeded depreciation of $106.55 million. As a growing school district, Union is committed to provide the facilities and tools that enable district staff to produce a quality product. Union’s student population has exceeded the 14,600 mark. Therefore, additional classroom space and equipment are necessary each year to accommodate that growth. The acquisition of capital assets is critical to the Board’s desire to provide lower class sizes districtwide, technology-related instructional opportunities, and neighborhood elementary schools.

33

Page 39: Union Comprehensive Annual Financial Report

Bond issue dollars are the only resource available to schools to purchase many of these capital assets since state funding goes almost exclusively to pay teacher and staff salaries. Recent bond issue projects include: *Phase II addition to the softball/baseball complex *Performing Arts Center renovation *Furniture, fixtures and equipment *Roof refurbishments/replacements *Early childhood furniture and playground equipment *Remodel science labs and media center at high school *Acquisition of textbooks and computer hardware/software *Acquisition of athletic, spirit and fine arts uniforms and equipment *Renovations and repairs to various school sites

Additional information on the district’s capital assets may be found in note D to the financial statements beginning on page 61.

Long-Term Debt. At June 30, 2009, the school district had $63.00 million in bonds outstanding, $16.15 million due within one year. Table 4 summarizes bonds outstanding for fiscal years 2009 and 2008.

Economic Factors

Fiscal year 2008-2009 ended with evidence that the state’s revenues were being sharply impacted by the nationwide recession. At fiscal year end, general fund revenue collections for the state totaled $5.52 billion. According to the Office of the State Treasurer, those collections were $434.7 million or 7.3 percent below the prior year; and $427.8 million or 7.2 percent below original estimates. During the first half of fiscal year 2009 revenue collections exceeded estimates by $189.5 million or 6.6 percent. However, during the final six months of the fiscal year collections were below the estimates by $617.3 million or 20.1 percent. The state treasurer predicts a revenue shortfall in fiscal year 2010, with slowdowns in every revenue source. Gross production tax collections on oil and natural gas were down 5.5 percent of estimates reflecting the low prices of those commodities. State income taxes generated $220.6 million, which was $74.3 million or 25.2 percent below the prior year. Motor vehicle tax collections were also 25.1 percent below the prior year. Despite revenues falling below appropriations, the state was able to use cash reserves to make up most of the shortfall. The State Treasurer was, however, quick to add that the lower revenue collections will likely prompt cuts to all state agencies in fiscal year 2010. In spite of the downturn, an October 2009 article in Business Week ranked Tulsa as having the seventh strongest metro economy in the United States, crediting a solid housing market as one of the criteria for the city’s success.

At the fiscal year’s end, the district’s tax revenue sources and state aid had once again outperformed prior year collections. Union Public Schools began the budgetary year with conservative estimates and revised those budget estimates during the year to reflect the increased revenue collections. The district continued its tradition of maintaining a strong year-end fund balance.

During the summer of 2008 the Board of Education approved expenditure budgets that included funds for 101 new positions funded from the General, Building and Child Nutrition Funds. Included were new teaching positions, teacher aide/paraprofessional positions, child nutrition positions, support positions, and one administrative position. The majority of the new positions were needed to address class size needs, the opening of the CAPTC Rosa Parks three-year-old program, and the opening of Thomas Jefferson Elementary. The budget also included an increase in funding for the employer’s portion of the teacher retirement contribution.

The district expects student growth to continue, particularly at the secondary level and anticipates continuing to add teachers and programs over the next few years. Although the county assessor provided Union with projections of no growth in the district’s net assessed valuation, actual growth was recorded at two percent. The continued increase in student enrollment and the continued business and residential growth in the district will provide additional ad valorem income.

By working to provide mutual benefit to the community and schools, Union has enjoyed a history of positive citizen support. The district’s patron base once again passed a bond issue on February 10, 2009, for $20.0 million. These bond dollars provided the necessary funding for facilities, renovations, technology, textbooks, instructional equipment and uniforms. It is these annual bond dollars and strong patron support that allow Union the opportunity and obligation to maintain facilities and to maximize the use of instructional technology and equipment. State law limits a school district’s bonding capacity to ten percent of its net assessed valuation.

35

Page 41: Union Comprehensive Annual Financial Report

Based on these factors, the Board of Education and administration are confident that with prudent fiscal management, Union Public Schools can continue to make instruction the top budgetary priority to ensure the district keeps its academic focus and delivers its services more efficiently and effectively. Union continues to attract families who want excellent learning opportunities for their children, and also continue to attract the best in faculty and staff by providing the facilities and tools that enable them to produce a quality product.

TOTAL NET CHANGE IN FUND BALANCES-GOVERNMENTAL FUNDS 3,288,379$

AMOUNTS REPORTED FOR GOVERNMENTAL ACTIVITIES IN THE STATEMENT OF ACTIVITIES ARE DIFFERENT BECAUSE:

Capital outlays to purchase or build capital assets are reported in governmental funds as expenditures.However, for governmental activities, those costs are shown in the statement of net assets and areallocated over their estimated useful lives as annual depreciation expenses in the statement ofactivities. This is the amount by which depreciation is less than capital outlays in the period.

Depreciation expense (9,464,810) Capital outlays 16,478,019 Retirements and adjustments (29,790) 6,983,419

Repayment of bond principal is an expenditure in the governmental funds, but it reduces long-termliabilities in the statement of net assets and does not affect the statement of activities.Proceeds from the sale of new bonds is revenue in the governmental funds, but increaseslong-term liabilities in the statement of net assets and does not affect the statement of activities.

Principal payments 15,550,000 Premium on issuance of bonds (189,600) Amortization of bond premium 8,924 Bond sale proceeds (20,000,000) (4,630,676)

Because some property taxes will not be collected for several months after the District's fiscalyear ends, they are not considered as "available" revenues in the governmental funds, instead, they are counted as deferred revenues. They are, however, recorded as revenue in thestatement of activities. (464,607)

Internal service funds are used by the District to charge the costs of health insurance benefits and short-term disability benefits for the employees of the District to the individual funds. The changes in net assets of the internal service fund are included with governmental activities. 422,307

Interest on long-term debt in the statement of activities differs from the amount reported in the governmental funds because interest is recorded as an expenditure in the funds when it is due,and, thus. Requires the use of current financial resources. In the statement of activities, however,interest expense is recognized as the interest accrues, regardless of when it is due. (7,312)

Some expenses (arbitrage, compensated absences, early retirement incentives, and other postemployment benefits) reported in the statement of activities do not require the use of currentfinancial resources, and therefore, are not reported as expenditures in governmental funds. (1,057,357)

NOTE A--SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES Basis of Presentation: The financial statements of the Union Public Schools Independent District No. 9 (the “District”) have been prepared in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America as applied to government units. The Governmental Accounting Standards Board (“GASB”) is the accepted standard-setting body for establishing governmental accounting and financial reporting principles. With respect to proprietary activities, the District has adopted GASB Statement No. 20, Accounting and Financial Reporting for Proprietary Funds and Other Governmental Entities that use Proprietary Fund Accounting. The District has elected to apply all applicable GASB pronouncements as well as Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) pronouncements and Accounting Principals Board (“APB”) opinions, issued on or before November 30, 1989, unless those pronouncements conflict with or contradict GASB pronouncements. The more significant of the District’s accounting policies are described below. Reporting Entity: The District is a corporate body for public purposes created under Title 70 of the Oklahoma statutes and, accordingly, is a separate entity for operating and financial reporting purposes. The District is part of the public school system of Oklahoma under the general direction and control of the Board of Education and is financially dependent on the state of Oklahoma for support. The general operating authority for the public school system is the Oklahoma School Code contained in Title 70, Oklahoma statutes. As required by accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America, the basic financial statements present the reporting entity which consists of the primary government, organizations for which the primary government is financially accountable, and other organizations for which the nature and significance of their relationship with the primary government are such that exclusion could cause the District’s basic financial statements to be misleading or incomplete. The District has presented the entities which comprise the reporting entity in the basic financial statements for 2009. The District has not identified any component units that should be included in the District’s reporting entity. The governing body of the District is its Board of Education composed of five elected members. The appointed superintendent is the executive officer of the District. Basic Financial Statements: The government-wide financial statements (i.e. the statement of net assets and the statement of activities) report information on all of the non-fiduciary activities of the District. For the most part, the effect of interfund activity has been removed from these statements. Interfund services provided and used are not eliminated. Governmental activities, which are normally 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. The statement of activities demonstrates the degree to which the direct expenses of a given function or segment is offset by program revenues. Direct expenses are those that are clearly identifiable with a specific function or segment. Program revenues include 1) charges to customers 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 as general revenues.

NOTE A--SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES--Continued Basic Financial Statements--Continued: Separate financial statements are provided for governmental funds, proprietary funds, and fiduciary funds, even though the latter are excluded from the government-wide financial statements. Major individual governmental funds and major individual enterprise funds are reported as separate columns in the fund financial statements. Governmental Funds: Governmental funds are used to account for all or most of a government’s general activities, including the collection and disbursement of earmarked monies (special revenue funds), the acquisition or construction of general fixed assets (capital projects funds), and the servicing of general long-term debt (debt service funds). The District reports the following major governmental funds:

General Fund The General Fund is used to account for all financial transactions except those required to be accounted for in another fund. Major revenue sources include local property taxes and state funding under the Foundation and Incentive Aid Program. Expenditures include all costs associated with the daily operations of the schools except for programs funded for building repairs and maintenance, school construction, and debt service on bonds and other long-term debt. Building Fund The District’s Building Fund is a special revenue fund and consists of monies derived from property taxes levied for the purpose of erecting, remodeling, or repairing buildings and for purchasing furniture and equipment. Sinking Fund The District’s sinking fund is a debt service fund and is used to account for the accumulation of financial resources for the payment of general long-term debt principal, interest and related costs. The primary revenue sources are local property taxes levied specifically for debt service and interest earnings from temporary investments. Bond Fund The District’s bond fund is a capital project fund and is used to account for the proceeds of bond sales to be used exclusively for acquiring school sites, constructing and equipping new school facilities, renovating existing facilities, and acquiring transportation equipment. This fund is also utilized to acquire books and other non-capitalizable items. Other Governmental Funds The District’s other governmental funds include the Compensating Absence Fund, the Insurance Recovery Fund, the Early Retirement Incentive Fund, and the Arbitrage Fund. All of which are non-major governmental funds. These funds are used to account for the long term payables of the district.

Page 58: Union Comprehensive Annual Financial Report

53

NOTE A--SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES--Continued Proprietary Funds: Proprietary funds are used to account for activities similar to those found in the private sector, where the determination of net income is necessary or useful to sound financial administration. Goods or services from such activities can be provided either to outside parties (enterprise funds) or to other departments or agencies primarily within the District (internal service funds). Proprietary funds distinguish operating revenues and expenses from non-operating items. Operating revenues and expenses generally result from providing services and producing and delivering foods in connection with a proprietary fund’s principal ongoing operations. Operating expenses for enterprise funds and internal service funds include the cost of sales and services, administrative expenses and depreciation on capital assets. All revenues and expenses not meeting this definition are reported as non-operating revenues and expenses. The District reports the following major proprietary funds:

Child Nutrition Fund The District’s Child Nutrition Fund is an enterprise fund used to account for the operations of the child nutrition programs. In addition to meal ticket sales, revenue sources include federal and state grants for free and reduced meals. Employee Insurance Fund The Employee Insurance Fund is an internal service fund used to account for the accumulation, recording and disbursing of District and participant contributions to the District’s self-insured medical, dental, and short-term disability programs.

Fiduciary Funds: Fiduciary funds are used to account for assets held on behalf of outside parties, including other governments, or on behalf of employees or other funds within the District. When these assets are held under the terms of a formal trust agreement, a pension trust fund, an investment trust fund or a private-purpose trust fund is used. Currently, the District utilizes only a private-purpose trust fund to account for activities of the Union School District Public Trust. Agency funds generally are used to account for assets that the District holds on behalf of others as their agent and do not involve measurement of results of operations. The District’s fiduciary funds have been excluded from the government-wide financial statements.

Private-Purpose Trust Fund The Union School District trust fund is a private-purpose trust fund used to account for donations received for the benefit of specified individuals associated with the District.

Agency Fund The Agency Fund consists of the School Activities fund. The School Activities fund is used to account for monies collected principally through fundraising efforts of the students and District sponsored groups. The administration is responsible, under the authority of the Board, for collecting, disbursing and accounting for these activity funds.

NOTE A--SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES--Continued Basis of Accounting and Measurement Focus: The government-wide financial statements are reported using the economic resources measurement focus and the accrual basis of accounting, as are the proprietary fund and fiduciary fund financial statements. The economic resources measurement focus is not applicable to the agency funds and therefore have no measurement focus. Revenues are recorded when earned and expenses are recorded when a liability is incurred, regardless of the timing of related cash flows. Property taxes are recognized as revenues in the year for which they are levied. Grants and similar items are recognized as revenue as soon as all eligibility requirements imposed by the provider have been met. Agency funds are reported in fiduciary fund financial statements and apply the accrual basis of accounting but do not have a measurement focus. 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 collectible within the current period or soon enough thereafter to pay liabilities of the current period. For this purpose, the government considers revenues to be available if they are collected within 60 days of the end of the current fiscal period. Expenditures generally are recorded when a liability is incurred, as under modified accrual accounting. However, debt service expenditures, as well as expenditures related to compensated balances are recorded only when the payment is due. Property taxes and interest associated with the current fiscal period are all considered to be susceptible to accrual and so have been recognized as revenues of the current fiscal period. All other revenue items are considered to be measurable and available only when cash is received by the government. Budgets and Budgetary Accounting: The District is required by state law to prepare an annual budget. A preliminary budget must be submitted to the Board of Education by December 31 for the fiscal year beginning the following July 1. If the preliminary budget requires an additional levy, the District must hold an election on the second Tuesday in February to approve the levy. If the preliminary budget does not require an additional levy, it becomes the legal budget. If an election is held and the taxes are approved, then the preliminary budget becomes the legal budget. If an election rejects the additional taxes, the District must adopt a budget within the approved tax rate. A budget is legally adopted by the Board of Education for the General Fund and Building Fund that includes revenues and expenditures. These budgets are prepared on a cash basis for revenues and principally on the modified accrual basis for expenditures. Budgetary control is maintained by fund, function, and activity and budgeted expenditures may not exceed appropriation at the fund level. Amendments may be made to the budget without approval by the governing body at the function and activity levels. Fund level budgetary amendments require approval of the governing body. In addition, encumbrance accounting is employed. Under this system, purchase orders, contracts and other commitments for the expenditure of resources are recorded to reserve a portion of the applicable appropriation. At the end of the year, encumbered appropriations for which goods and/or services have not been received lapse. At the beginning of the next year, prior year encumbrances are reviewed and some are reestablished. There were no material encumbrances which lapsed at June 30, 2009, and were reinstated during fiscal year 2009, for the General Fund and Building Fund.

NOTE A--SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES--Continued Assets, Liabilities and Net Assets Cash and Cash Equivalents: For purposes of the statement of cash flows, the District considers all cash on hand, demand deposits and highly liquid investments with an original maturity of three months or less when purchased to be cash and cash equivalents. Investments: Investments consist of certificates of deposit with maturities greater than three months when purchased and United States Treasury securities and agencies. Investments are reflected at fair value. Property Tax Revenues and Receivables: The District is authorized by state law to levy property taxes which consist of ad valorem taxes on real and personal property within the District. The county assessor, upon receipt of the certification of tax levies from the county excise board, extends the tax levies on the tax roll for submission to the county treasurer prior to October 1. The county treasurer must commence tax collection within fifteen days of receipt of the tax rolls. The first half of taxes is due prior to January 1. The second half is due prior to April 1. If the first payment is not made timely, the entire tax becomes due and payable on January 2. The second half of the taxes becomes delinquent on April 1 of the year following the year of assessment. If not paid by the following October 1, the property is offered for sale for the amount of taxes due. The purchaser is issued a certificate of ownership; the original owner has two years to redeem the property by paying the taxes and penalty owed. If at the end of two years the original owner has not done so, the purchaser is issued a deed to the property. Uncollected taxes assessed on valuations made each year are recorded in the District’s governmental fund financial statements. The delinquent taxes which are not collected within 60 days of the year end are recorded in the governmental fund financial statements as deferred revenue. Uncollectible personal and real property taxes are deemed to be immaterial because the real property can be sold for the amount of taxes due. Inventories: Inventories in the governmental funds are carried at cost and are recorded as expenditures when consumed on a first-in, first-out method rather than when purchased. Inventories include fuel, instructional, janitorial, medical, and food service supplies. Cost of donated federal surplus commodities is based on values established by the federal government at the time of donation. Inventories for proprietary funds are stated at the lower of cost or market on a first-in, first-out method.

NOTE A--SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES--Continued Inventories at June 30, 2009 consist of the following: Governmental activities Instructional $ 32,880 Janitorial 163,682 Computer accessory 831 Transport 16,313 Medical 3,492 Total governmental activities 217,198

Business-type activities Food service 522,018

$ 739,216 Capital Assets: All purchased capital assets are valued at cost where historical records are available and at an estimated historical cost where no historical records exist. Donated capital assets are valued at their estimated fair market value on the date received. The costs of normal maintenance and repairs that do not add to the value of the assets or materially extend asset lives are not capitalized. Improvements are capitalized and depreciated over the remaining useful lives of the related capital assets, as applicable. Depreciation of all exhaustible capital assets is charged as an expense against their operations. Depreciation has been provided using the straight-line method over the following estimated useful lives: Useful Capitalization Life Threshold

Buildings and structures 10-50 years $ 2,500 Improvements 10-50 years $ 2,500 Equipment 5-40 years $ 2,500 Furniture and fixtures 5-10 years $ 2,500 Compensated Balances: Liability for compensated balances attributable to the District’s governmental funds is recorded in the government-wide financial statements. It is the district’s policy that vacation is accrued in the current fiscal year to be used in the next fiscal year. If an employee separates employment, the district policy provides payment to the employee. Sick leave may also be accumulated up to 120 days. Upon retirement or severance of employment, the district policy provides payment to eligible employees for accumulated sick days. This liability is intended to accommodate these payments. Long-Term Debt: Long-term debt is recognized as a liability of the applicable governmental activities, business-type activities or proprietary fund type in the statements of net assets. Internal Balances: Amounts reported in the fund financial statements as interfund receivables and payables are eliminated in the entity-wide governmental and business-type activities columns of the statement of net assets, except for the net residual amounts due between governmental and business-type activities, which are presented as internal balances, as applicable.

Page 62: Union Comprehensive Annual Financial Report

57

NOTE A--SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES--Continued Due To/From Other Funds: Amounts owed between funds which are due within one year are reported as due to other funds. Interfund Transactions: Interfund transactions are either loans or transfers. Loans are reported as receivables and payables as appropriate and are subject to elimination. Interfund transactions are presented as transfers. Transfers within governmental activities or within business-type activities are eliminated. Fund Equity: In the fund financial statements, reserves represent those portions of fund balance not appropriable for expenditure or legally segregated for a specific future use. Designations of fund balance represent tentative management plans that are subject to change. Inter-fund Receivables, Payables and Transfers: The composition of interfund balances as of June 30, 2009, was as follows: Receivable Fund Payable Fund Amount Compensating Balance General $ 250,000 Compensating Balance Building 50,000 Compensating Balance Child Nutrition 25,000 Early Retirement Incentive General 341,808 Total $ 666,808 These represent amounts necessary to subsidize the Internal Service Fund and Early Retirement Incentive liability. These amounts are expected to be paid within the next fiscal year. Inter-fund transfers, which represent transfers of interest earnings during the year ended June 30, 2009, were as follows:

Page 63: Union Comprehensive Annual Financial Report

58

NOTE A--SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES--Continued Revenues, Expenses and Expenditures State Revenues: Revenues from state sources for current operations are primarily governed by the state aid formula under the provisions of Article XVIII, Title 70, Oklahoma statutes. The Board of Education administers the allocation of state aid funds to school districts based on information accumulated from the districts. After review and verification of reports and supporting documentation, the State Department of Education (the “Department”) may adjust allocations of money for errors disclosed by review. Normally, such adjustments are treated as reductions or additions of revenue of the year when the adjustment was made. The District receives revenue from the state to administer certain categorical educational programs. Board of Education rules require that revenue earmarked for these programs be expended only for the program for which the money is provided and require that the money not expended as of the close of the fiscal year be carried forward into the following year to be expended for the same categorical programs. The Department requires that categorical educational program revenues be accounted for in the General Fund. Benefits Funded by the state of Oklahoma: For 2009, the state of Oklahoma contributed estimated payments benefiting District employees as follows: Plan Amount Teachers’ Retirement System of Oklahoma $ 5,597,560 The District has recognized the revenues and expenditures related to this on-behalf payment in its basic financial statements. The District is legally responsible for these contributions. Net Assets The government-wide and business-type fund financial statements utilize a net asset presentation. Net assets are categorized as investment in capital assets (net of related debt), restricted and unrestricted. Investment in Capital Assets: Investment in capital assets (net of related debt) is intended to reflect the portion of net assets which are associated with non-liquid capital asset less outstanding capital asset related debt. The net related debt is debt less the outstanding liquid assets and any associated unamortized cost. Restricted Net Assets: Restricted net assets are liquid assets (generated from revenues and net bond proceeds) which have third party (statutory, bond covenant or granting agency) limitations on their use. The District would typically use restricted net assets first, as appropriate opportunities arise, but reserve the right to selectively defer the use thereof to a future project or replacement equipment acquisition.

NOTE B--CASH AND INVESTMENTS Custodial Credit Risk: Custodial credit risk is the risk that in the event of failure of counterparty, the District will not be able to recover the value of its deposits or investments. Deposits are exposed to custodial credit risk if they are uninsured and uncollateralized. Investment securities are exposed to custodial credit risk if they are uninsured, are not registered in the name of the District, and are held by counterparty or the counterparty’s trust department but not in the name of the District. The District’s policy requires that all deposits and investments in excess of amounts covered by federal deposit insurance be fully collateralized by the entity holding the deposits or investments. As of June 30, 2009, all of the Districts deposits and investments were either covered by federal deposit insurance or were fully collateralized. Deposits: The District had deposits at financial institutions with a carrying amount of approximately $39,251,000 at June 30, 2009. The bank balance of these deposits at June 30, 2009 was approximately $43,520,000. Credit Risk: Fixed-income securities are subject to credit risk. Credit quality rating is one method of assessing the ability of the issuer to meet its obligation. The District’s investment policy requires that, except for United States Treasury securities, the District’s investment portfolio will be diversified to avoid incurring undue concentration in securities of one type. The District’s policy also requires that all deposits and investments in excess of amounts covered by federal deposit insurance be fully collateralized by the entity holding the deposits or investments. Due to the unstable economic climate and extremely low available interest rates for investing, investments were purchased to obtain the highest possible interest rate. Therefore, the investment portfolio consisted of $35,600,000 in Certificates of Deposit with interest rates ranging from .30% to 1.05% with original maturity dates from 90 days to 15 months as of June 30, 2009. Interest Rate Risk: Interest rate risk is the risk that changes in interest rates will adversely affect the fair value of an investment. The District’s investment policy limits the duration of fixed-income securities to a maximum maturity from the date of purchase of sixty months, provided that sufficient liquidity is available to meet the District’s major cash outlays. The District’s investment committee and Board of Education monitor the District’s investment performance on an ongoing basis to limit the District’s interest rate risk. As of June 30, 2009, all of the District’s investments were scheduled to mature in less than eighteen months.

$ 9,464,810 NOTE E--LONG-TERM DEBT State statutes prohibit the District from becoming indebted in an amount exceeding the revenue to be received for any fiscal year without approval by the District’s voters. Bond issues have been approved by the voters and issued by the District for various capital improvements. State law requires these bonds be fully paid serially within 25 years from the date of issue. Long-term debt of the District consists of bonds payable, obligations for compensated balances, a liability for the early retirement incentive plan and a liability for arbitrage earnings on outstanding bond issues. Debt service requirements for bonds are payable solely from the fund balance and future revenues of the sinking fund. In prior years, the liability for compensated balances has been primarily liquidated from the fund balance of the General Fund. The following is a summary of long-term debt activity of the District for the year ended June 30, 2009:

NOTE F--EARLY RETIREMENT INCENTIVES In 1994, the District revised its early retirement incentive plan whereby new or additional participants are paid stipends ranging from $300 to $700 per month plus health and life insurance coverage. An eligible participant is one who qualifies for service retirement benefits through the Teachers’ Retirement System of Oklahoma, has completed one (1) full year at the top step of the previous year’s salary schedule, has ten years experience as an employee of the District, and has received Board approval for participation in the plan. All benefits terminate in the event of death, after two or five years of receiving benefits from the plan or, if the retiree accepts employment as a certified employee with any other school district in the state of Oklahoma. As of June 30, 2009, there are 55 participants in the plan. The District has funded this liability with available General Fund assets and has recorded the liability in the statement of net assets. Amounts accrued with respect to employees electing to retire under this plan as of June 30, 2009 was approximately $726,000. NOTE G--RISK MANAGEMENT Effective December 1, 1988, the District began a self-insured medical program for District employees and their eligible dependents. This program is administered by an independent third party and covers medical and dental expenses for employees with dependent coverage available at additional charges. In order to mitigate the risk associated with this program, the District has purchased individual “stop loss” insurance of $150,000 and aggregate “stop loss” insurance of approximately $9,664,000 plus 100% of employee and District premium contributions. Monthly, the District contributes $111 per employee for the program, which covers expected claims, stop loss coverage, cost containment provisions and administrative costs. A summary of premiums collected from the District and employees and claims paid from July 1, 2008 through June 30, 2009 is set forth below: District and employee premiums $ 7,666,721 Claims and changes in estimates $ 6,382,242 Insurance and administrative costs 1,295,687

Total claims incurred and other costs $ 7,677,929

Page 70: Union Comprehensive Annual Financial Report

65

NOTE G--RISK MANAGEMENT--Continued A summary of changes in the aggregate liability for claims in the current and the two prior fiscal years are set forth below:

The claims liability shown above includes the District’s estimated liability for medical and dental claims incurred but not reported to the District (or the administrator) as of June 30, 2009. The activity for this program is reflected in the accompanying fund financial statements in the internal service fund. There were no significant reductions in coverage from that in prior years and settlements have not exceeded insurance coverage for each of the past three fiscal years. The District purchases commercial insurance for all other types of risk including, but not limited to, property, casualty, workers’ compensation, vehicle, and employee life. Settlements have not exceeded insurance coverage for each of the past three fiscal years. The full amount of the claims liability at June 30, 2009 is expected to be paid during fiscal year 2010. As such, the full liability of $533,094 has been classified as a current liability in the accompanying June 30, 2009 financial statements. NOTE H--EMPLOYEE RETIREMENT SYSTEM The District participates in the state-administered Teachers’ Retirement System of Oklahoma (the “System”), which is a cost-sharing, multiple-employer public employee retirement system (“PERS”). Under the System, contributions are made by the District, the state of Oklahoma, and the participating employees. Participation is required for all teachers, and other certified employees and is optional for all other regular employees of public educational institutions who work at least 20 hours per week. A participant’s date of membership is the date of the first contribution made to the System. The System is administered by a board of trustees which acts as a fiduciary for investing the funds and governing the administration of the System. The District has no responsibility or authority for the operation and administration of the System nor has it any liability, except for the current contribution requirements.

Page 71: Union Comprehensive Annual Financial Report

66

NOTE H--EMPLOYEE RETIREMENT SYSTEM--Continued The System provides defined retirement benefits based on members’ final compensation, age, and term of service. In addition, the retirement program provides for benefits upon disability and to survivors upon the death of eligible members. Title 70 O. S. Sec. 17-105 defines all retirement benefits. The authority to establish and amend benefit provisions rests with the legislature of the state of Oklahoma. The contribution rates for the District, which are not actuarially determined, and its employees are established by state statute and applied to the employee’s earnings plus employer-paid fringe benefits. The District was required to contribute 8.5% for the period July through December 2008 and 9% for the period January through June 2009 of applicable compensation for the year ended June 30, 2009. Participating members are required to contribute 7.0% of regular annual compensation not to exceed members’ maximum contribution. The legislature of the state of Oklahoma has enacted new legislation to increase the District’s contribution amount to 9.5% effective January 1, 2010. The compensation for employees covered by the System for the year ended June 30, 2009 was approximately $52,519,000; the District’s total compensation was approximately $84,039,000. Total contributions by the District made during the year ended June 30, 2009 amounted to approximately $5,389,000. These contributions represented approximately 11% of covered compensation and represent approximately 6.9% of total contributions to the System. The District has contributed its required contribution to the System. Trend information for the District’s annual required contributions is as follows: Teachers’ Retirement System of Oklahoma Required Percentage Contribution Contributed Fiscal year 2005 $ 3,128,133 100% 2006 $ 3,417,884 100% 2007 $ 4,101,057 100% 2008 $ 4,806,810 100% 2009 $ 5,389,432 100% Separately issued financial statements of the System can be obtained by contacting the Teachers’ Retirement System of Oklahoma at P.O. Box 53524, Oklahoma City, Oklahoma 73152, by calling (405) 521-2387, or at the TRS website at www.trs.state.ok.us. These stand-alone financial statements can be useful in assessing the System’s accumulation of sufficient assets to pay pension benefits as they become due and in reviewing historical trend information.

67

NOTE I--OTHER POST-EMPLOYMENT INSURANCE BENEFITS-HEALTH AND DENTAL INSURANCE PROGRAM District employees have the option of continuing health, vision and dental coverage at their own expense upon retirement if they are covered by an employment contract that provides for post-retirement benefits and who meets one of the following requirements:

• Age 55 with 5 years of service • Rule of 80 if hired before July 1, 1992 (combined age and service years) • Rule of 90 if hired after July 1, 1992 (combined age and service years) • 10 years of service

Retired employees may pay the same premium as the District pays for current employees. Funding Policy - Contribution requirements of the District are established and may be amended by the Board of Education. All contributions are made by the retirees. Benefits are funded under a “pay as you go” funding method; however expenses are recorded as benefits accumulate. Annual OPEB cost and net OPEB obligation - The District’s annual OPEB cost is calculated based on the annual required contribution of the District (ARC), an amount actuarially determined in accordance with the parameters of GASB Statement 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 over a period not to exceed thirty (30) years. The following table shows the components of the District’s net OPEB obligation for the year, the amount actually contributed, and changes in the District’s net OPEB obligation:

The net OPEB obligation at June 30, 2009 is included in the government-wide Statement of Net Assets as a non-current obligation.

Page 73: Union Comprehensive Annual Financial Report

68

NOTE I--OTHER POST-EMPLOYMENT INSURANCE BENEFITS-HEALTH AND DENTAL INSURANCE PROGRAM--Continued This obligation is currently unfunded. The annual required contribution for 2009 was determined as part of an actuarial valuation on July 1, 2007, using the projected unit credit actuarial cost method with 30-year amortization of the unfunded liability. The actuarial assumptions included:

(a) discount rate of 4% per year compounded annually, (b) salary increases of 4% per year (c) age-based monthly retiree medical costs

(d) varying participation rates for active and inactive employees, with adjustments made for persons who terminate prior to retirement

(e) health trend rates increasing 5%-10% annually Trend Information GASB 45 was not implemented until the 2008 fiscal year; therefore, only two years of trend information is available.

Funded Status and Funding Progress The funded status of the plan as of the most recent actuarial report dated July 1, 2007 is as follows:

Actuarial valuation of an ongoing plan involves estimates of the value of reported amounts and assumptions about the probability of occurrence 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 annual required contributions of the employer are subject to continual revision as actual results are compared with past expectations and new estimates are made about the future. The schedule of funding progress, presented as required

NOTE I--OTHER POST-EMPLOYMENT INSURANCE BENEFITS-HEALTH AND DENTAL INSURANCE PROGRAM—Continued supplementary information following the notes to the financial statements, will over time provide multi-year trend information that shows whether the actuarial value of plan assets is increasing or decreasing over time relative to the actuarial accrued liabilities for benefits. NOTE J--COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES Amounts received or receivable from grantor agencies are subject to audit and adjustment by grantor agencies. Any disallowed claims, including amounts already collected, may constitute a liability of the applicable funds. The amount, if any, of expenditures which may be disallowed by the grantor cannot be determined at this time although the District believes such amounts, if any, would be immaterial. As of June 30, 2009, the District had outstanding commitments (contracts and purchase orders) of approximately $1,058,000, primarily for construction projects and equipment. On occasion, the District is party to legal proceedings which arise in the normal course of operations. Any liability resulting from these proceedings is not believed, by management, to have a material effect on the financial statements. NOTE K--NEW PRONOUNCEMENTS Governmental Accounting Standards Board (“GASB”) Statement No. 51, Accounting and Financial Reporting for Intangible Assets, which establishes accounting and financial reporting requirements for intangible assets including easements, water rights, timber rights, patents, trademarks, and computer software. The requirements of this statement are effective for financial statements for periods beginning after June 15, 2009. Governmental Accounting Standards Board (“GASB”) Statement No. 53, Accounting and Financial Reporting for Derivative Instruments, which addresses the recognition, measurement, and disclosure of information regarding derivative instruments entered into by state and local governments. The requirements of this statement are effective for financial statements for periods beginning after June 15, 2009. Governmental Accounting Standards Board (“GASB”) Statement No, 54, Fund Balance Reporting and Governmental Fund Type, which is to enhance the usefulness of fund balance information by providing clearer fund balance classifications that can be more consistently applied and by clarifying the existing governmental fund type definitions. The requirements of this statement are effective for financial statements for periods beginning after June 15, 2010. The District’s management is in the process of determining what, if any, impact the above pronouncements will have on the District’s financial reporting process.

127.29 mills.

Broken Arrow is 130.58 mills.

Note: A mill is the equivalent of $1 per $1,000 of net assessed value. The District's millage rate levy is pursuant to provisions of the Constitution of the State of Oklahoma contained in Article X. The County Excise Board certifies the Estimate of Needs submitted by the District annually and computes the rate of mill levy necessary for general fund, building fund and sinking fund purposes. Once the levy is certified by the Excise Board, the county assessor extends said levies upon the tax rolls. Pursuant to a recent amendment to the Oklahoma Constitution enabling local school districts to seek permanent voter approval of a 5-mill emergency levy, a 5.15-mill building levy, and a 10-mill local support levy, the District submitted such permanent levies to the voters at an election held on February 13, 2001. The permanent levies were approved, and the District no longer has to submit approval of these funding sources to voters on an annual basis.
