Report on the Financial Statements
We have audited the accompanying financial statements of the governmental activities, the business-type activities,
each major fund, and the aggregate remaining fund information of the Conemaugh Township Area School District
as of and for the year ended June 30, 2014, and the related notes to the financial statements, which collectively
comprise the District's basic financial statcments as listed in the table of contents.
Mahagement's Responsibility for the Financial Statements
Management is responsible for the preparation and fairpresentation of those financial statements in accordance wit]¡
accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America; this includes the design, implementation,
and maintenance of internal control relevant to the preparation and fair presentation of financial statements that are
fres from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or eror.
Auditors' Responsibility
Our responsibilþ is to express opinions on these financial statements based on our audit. We conducted our audit
in accordance with auditing standards generally accepted in the United States of America and the standards
applicable to financial audits cont¿ine d in Government Audíting Standards, issued by the Comptroller General of the
Úoit"¿ States. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about
whether the financial statements are free from material misstatement.
An audit includes performing procedures to obtain audit evidence about the amounts and disclosures in the financial
statements. The procedures selected depend on the auditors' judgment, including the assessment of the risks of
material misstatement of the financial statements, whether due to fraud or eror. In making those risk assessments,
the auditor considers internal confol relevant to the entity's preparation and fair presentation of the financial
statements in order to design audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of
expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the entþ's internal control. Accordingly, we express no such opinion.
An audit also includes evaluating the appropriateness of accounting policies used and the reasonableness of
significant accounting estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall presentation of the financial
statements.
We believe that the audit evidence we have obtained is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our audit
opinions.
Opinions
to above present fairly, in all material respects, the respective
financial position of the governmental activities, business-type activities, each major fund, and the aggregate
remaining fund information of the Conemaugh Township Area School District as of June 30, 2014, and the
respectivã changes in financial position and, where applicable, cash flows thereof for the year then ended in
In our opinion, the financial
st¿tements referred
accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.

Change in Accounting Principle
As discussed in Note 22 to the financial statements, in fiscal year 2014, the District adopted new accounting
guidance, GASB St¿tement No. 65, Items Previously Reported as Assets and Liabilities. Our opinion is not
modified with respect to this matter.
Other Matters
Required Supplementary Information
Accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America require that the management's discussion
and analysis and budgetary comparison information on pages 5 through 13 and page 49, respectively, be presented
to supplement the basic financial statements. Such information, although not a part of the basic financial statements,
is required by the Governmental Accounting Standards Board, who considers it to be an essential part of financial
reporting for placing the basic financial statements in an appropriate operational, economic, or historical context.
We have applied certain limited procedures to the required supplementary information in accordance with auditing
standards generally accepted in the United States of America, which consisted of inquiries of management about the
methods of preparing the information and comparing the information for consistency with management's responses
to our inquiries, the basic financial statements, and other knowledge we obtained during our audit of the basic
financial statements. We do not express an opinion or provide any assurance on the information because the limited
procedures do not provide us with sufficient evidence to express an opinion or provide any assurance.
Supp I ementary
Inþ rmation
Our audit was conducted for the purpose of forming opinions on the financial statements that collectively comprise
the District's basic financial statements. The accompanyng schedule of expenditures of federal awards and certain
state grants is presented for purposes of additional analysis as required by U.S. Office of Management and Budget
Circular A-133, Audits of States, Local Governments, and Non-Profit Organizations, and is not a required part of the
basic financial statements. The schedule of expenditures of federal awards and certain state grants is the
responsibility of management and was derived from and relates directly to the underlying accounting and other
records used to prepare the financial statements. Such information has been subjected to the auditing procedures
applied in the audit of the basic financial statements and certain additional procedures, including comparing and
reconciling such information directly to the underlying accounting and other records used to prepare the financial
statements or to the basic financial statements themselves, and other additional procedures in accordance with
auditing standards generally accepted in the United States of America. In our opinion, the schedule of expenditures
of federal awards and certain state grants is fairly stated in all material respects, in relation to the basic financial
statements as a whole.
Other Reporting Required by Government Auditing Sløndørds
In accordance with Government Auditing Standards, we have also issued our report dated December 15,2014 on our
consideration of Conemaugh Township Area School District's internal control over financial reporting and on our
tests of its compliance with certain provisions of laws, regulations, contracts, and grant agreements and other
matters. The purpose of that report is to describe the scope of our testing of internal control over financial reporting
and compliance and the results of that testing, and not to provide an opinion on internal control over financial
reporting or on compliance. That report is an integral part of an audit performed in accordance with Government
Auditing Standqrds in considering Conemaugh Township Area School District's internal control over financial
reporting and compliance.

2013-2014
This Managemenfs Discussion and Analysis (MD & A) offers an overview of the Conemaugh Township
Area School Districfs (CTASD) financial performance during the fiscal year July 1, 2013-June 30,20L4. It
should be read in conjunction with the financial statements, which follow. Comparative data from fiscal
year 2012-2013 is required and is included in this report.
FIN,{NCIA¿ STATEMENTS
Financial Statements have been audited by Kotzan CPA & Associates, P.C. and prepared in accordance
with GASB Statement No. 34, presenting both entity-wide and fund-type reports using both the accrual
and modified accrual basis of accounting respectively.
GASB # 34 REPORTING
Every effort has been made to ensure this report is easy-to-read and understandable to all citizens of the
Conemaugh Township Area School District and other interested parties. Questions and comments
regarding the included information may be obtained either in person or by mail by contacting: Mrs. Gina
Rembold, Business Manager, 300 W. Campus Avenue, Davidsville, PA 15928; Phone (814) 479-7431 or
email [email protected]. The remainder of the report contains information included in the fiscal
year 2013-2014 Annual Financial Report (PDE form 2057) and local auditor's repott. Comparative data
for 2012-2013 vs.2013-2014 is included in the following report.
Government-wide Statements
The government-wide statements report information about the District as a whole using the accrual
method of accounting. Net assets include all of the districfs assets and liabilities. Current year revenues
and expenditures are included in the statement of activity regardless of when paid or received. This
approach allows school districts to account for assets and liabilities more like a "for-profl(' business
would, making comparisons easier and more consistent.
The financial well-being of the District can be more easily assessed using the net assets report or the
overall difference between assets and liabilities. The following reports only show the Districfs financial
stability and do not address the overall success or failure of the District. Determining if the District is
providing a quality education to its students while maintaining financial stability is much more difficult
and involves many non-financial factors not included in this analysis. It is important to keep in mind, as
these reports are reviewed, financial statements, although very important, are only one part of the overall
operation of the District.
The government-wide statements are divided into two categories:
l. Government Activities - Includes all basic activities, such as education,
2.
administration,
transportation, capital projects and athletics.
Business-Type Activities - Food Service Department. Fees and charges to staff and students help
support the cost of operation.
5
Manogemenl's Díscussíon and Anolysis (MD&A)
Fund Financial Statements
Fund financial statements provide information about the significant funds, not
the district as o whole
Gotsernmental Funds - Governmental funds encompass most of the Districf s activities. Government fund
statements present a detailed, short-term financial view of the District on a modified accrual basis.
Proprietary Funds - Proprietary funds are more like a business-type activity. The District Food Service
Fund is a proprietary fund in that money is collected through fees and charges and supports the expenses
of the fund.
Fiduciary Funds - Funds where the District is a custodian or trustee. The District cannot use these funds
for any operational expenditure. The Student Activities Fund and Scholarship Fund represent fiduciary
funds.
FINANCIAL HIGHLIGHTS
The Conemaugh Township Area School Districfs general fund posted revenues of 513,201,,661 and
expenditures of fi12,67'L,085. The difference resulted in a surplus of revenues over expenditures in the

balance of $5,518,699 at ]une 30,20't 4, $800,000 of which was assigned in an effort to offset the anticipated

basis).

Note 23 to the financial statements.
Current assets are largely comprised of cash and investments. Capital assets represent land, buildings, and equipment less accumulated
depreciation. Current liabilities primarily include accrued salaries and wages as well as the current portion of long-term debt. Long-term debt is
comprised of the compensated absences liability, the OPEB liability, and the Series 2012 and Series 2014 Bonds.
The most significant flucfuations reflected above are the increases in capital assets and long-term liabilities. The increase in capital assets reflects
the ongoing building renovations and additions. Liabilities increased as a result of debt service incurred for the Series 2014 bond issue.

Manøgement's Discussion ønd Anølysís (MD&A)
Data 2Ol3-2O]4
Fund Financials
The State recommends school districts maintain a General Fund "fund balance" of 8-12%, and has
enacted legislation to limit the abitity of districts to raise real estate tax rates when a district has a fund
balance over 8% (if budgeted expenditures exceed $19 million) or 12% (if budgeted expenditures are less
than $19 million).
CTASD's fund balance exceeded the State's recommendation and was more than enough to cover cash
flow issues throughout the year. The fund balance as of June 30,20-1,4 is higher than the previous year.
Overall, the District continues to maintain a fund balance higher than recommended by the State.
Controlled, further reduction of this fund balance to enhance the educational experience for the students
of Conemaugh Township Area School District would not put the District in any financial danger. It
should be noted, however, that reducing the fund balance also reduces the ability to earn interest on
those funds throughout the fiscal year. It is advisable to maintain a reasonable fund balance, while not
over-taxing the citizens of the District, and yet maintaining a balance between educational and financial
responsibilities. The District also has assigned $800,000 of the Fund Balance to be used for the anticipated
PSERS rate hikes in2014-2015 and beyond.

Final Notes:
The Board and Administration of the Conemaugh Township Area School District encourages the citizens
and taxpayers of the District to review this document in conjunction with other financial resources that
are available, including the Pennsylvania Department of Education's website at www.pde.state.pa.us and
the CTASD website at www
orq. The Districfs website contains a wealth of information about the
District, its stafl students, Board, and financial status.
Lastþ when reviewing this data included in this report it is important to note that the financial
condition of the District while very important, is not the only indicator of a successful school dishict and
must be considered only as one piece of the complex picture that makes up the Conemaugh Township
Area School District.

Description of School District and Reporting Entity
The Conemaugh Township Area School District is a Local Education Agency of the third class, govemed by a
nine-member publicly elected board, located in the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania. The District has
approximately 1,020 enrolled students and operates two school buildings, including an elementary school
(grades K-5) and a middle/senior high school (grades 6-12). The District also participates in a local area
vocationaVtechnical school with various other districts
A reporting entity is comprised of the primary government, component units and other organizations that are
included to ensure that the basic financial statements of the School District are not misleading. The primary
government consists of all funds, departments, boards and agencies that are not legally separate from the School
District. For Conemaugh Township Area School District, this includes general operations, food service, and
student related activities of the School District,
Component units are legally separate organizations for which the School District is financially accountable or
other organizations whose nature and significant relationship with the School District are such that exclusion
would cause the School District's financial statements to be misleading. Financial account¿bility is defined as
the appointment of a voting majority of the component unit's board, and (1) either the School District's ability
to impose its will on the organization; or (2) there is potential for the organization to provide a financial benefit
to or impose a financial burden on the School District. The School District has no component units.
2.
Summary of Significant Accounting Policies
The financial statements of the School District have been prepared in conformity with generally accepted
accounting principles (GAAP) as applied to local govemmental units. The Governmental Accounting
Standards Board (GASB) is the accepted standard-setting body for establishing goverrìmental accounting and
financial principles. The more significant of these accounting policies are described below.
A.
Basis of Presentation
The School District's basic financial statements consist of government-wide statements, including
a
statement of net position and a statement of activities, and fund financial statements which provide a more
detailed level of financial information.
Government-wide Financial Statements
The statement of net position and the statement of activities display information about the School District
as a whole. These statements include the financial activitics of the primary government, except for
fiduciary funds.
26
June 30, 2014
The statement of net position presents the financial condition of the governmental and business-type
activities of the School District at year end. The statement of activities presents a comparison between
direct expenses and program revenues for each program or function ofthe School District's governmental
and business-type activities. Direct expenses are those that are specifically associated with a service,
program or department and therefore clearly identifiable to a particular function. Program revenues
include charges paid by the recipient of goods and services offered by the program, and grants and
contributions that are restricted to meeting the operational or capital requirements of a particular program.
Revenues which are not classified as program revenues are presented as general revenues of the School
District. The comparison of direct expenses with program revenues identifies the extent to which each
business segment or governmental function is self-financing or draws from the general revenues of the
School District.
Fund financial statements are also provided in the report for all governmental funds, proprietary funds, and
the fiduciary funds of the School District. Major individual govemmental funds and major individual
enterprise funds are reported as separate columns in the fund statements. Non-major funds are aggregated
and presented in a single column. Fiduciary funds are reported by fund type.
B.
Fund Accounting
The School District uses funds to maintain its financial record during the year. A fund is defined as a fiscal
and accounting entity with a self balancing set of accounts. There are three categories of funds:
governmental, proprietary and fiduciary.
Governmental Funds
Governmental funds are those through which most governmental functions typically are financed.
Governmental fund reporting focuses on the sources, uses and balances of current financial resources.
Expendable assets are assigned to the various governmental funds according to the purposes for which they
may or must be used. Current liabilities are assigned to the fund from which they will be paid. The
difference between goverffnental fund assets and liabilities is reported as fund balance. The following are
the School District's major governmental funds:
General Fund - The general fund is the operating fund of the School District and is used to account for all
financial resources except those required to be accounted for in another fund.
Capital Projects Fund - The capital projects fund is used to account for and report financial resources that
are restricted to be used for the acquisition, construction, renovation, and deferred maintenance of major
capital facilities or equipment, and for debt service.
Prog"ietary Funds
Proprietary funds focus on the determination of net position, changes in net position and cash flows and are
classified as either internal service or enterprise funds. Internal service funds account for the financing of
services provided by one department or agency to other departments or agencies of the School District.
There are no internal service funds. Enterprise funds may be used to account for any activity for which a
fee is charged to external users for goods and services. The following is the School District's major
enterprise fund:
27
June 30, 2014
Food Service Fund - This fund accounts for the financial transactions related to the food service operation
of the School District.
Fiduciar.v Fund
Fiduciary fund reporting focuses on net position and changes in net position. The fiduciary fund category
is split into four classifications: pension trust funds, investment trust funds, private-purpose trust funds and
agency funds. Trust funds are used to account for assets held by the School District under a trust
agreement for individuals, private organizations, or other governments and are therefore not available to
support the School District's own programs. The School District has no private purpose trust funds. The
agency fund is custodial in nature (assets equal liabilities) and does not involve measurement of results of
operations. The School District's agency fund accounts for those student activity progralns which have
student participation in the activity and have students involved in the management of the program.
C.
Measurement Focus
Government-wide Financial Statements
Government-wide financial statements are prepared using the economic resourccs measurement focus. All
assets, deferred outflows of resources, liabilities and deferred inflows of resources associated with the
operation of the School District are included on the statement of net position.
Fund financial statements are accounted for using a flow of current financial resources measurement focus.
With this measurement focus, only current assets and current liabilities generally are included on the
balance sheet. The statement of revenues, expenditures and changes in fund balances reports on the
sources (i.e. revenues and other financing sources) and uses (i.e. expenditures and other financing uses) of
current financial resor¡rces. This approach differs from the manner in which the governmental activities of
the government-wide financial statements are prepared. Governmental fund financial statements therefore
include a reconciliation with brief explanations to better identifu the relationship between the governmentwide statements and the statements for govemmental funds.
Like the government-wide statements, the proprietary fund is accounted for on a flow of economic
resources measurement focus. All assets, deferred outflows of resources, liabilities and deferred inflows of
resources associated with the operation of these funds are included on the statement of net position. The
statement of changes in fund net position presents increases (i.e. revenues) and decreases (i.e. expenses) in
net position. The statement of cash flows provides information about how the School District finances and
meets the cash flow needs of its proprietary activities.
Proprietary Fund types distinguish operating revenues and expenses from non-operating items. Operating
revenues and expenses generally result from providing services and producing and delivering goods in
connection with a proprietary fund's principal ongoing operation. The principal operating revenues of the
Food Service fund are charges for sales and services. Operating expenses for Enterprise Funds include the
cost of sales and services and administrative expenses. All revenues and expenses not meeting this
definition are reported as non-operating revenues and expenses.
Fiduciary funds are reported using the economic resources measurement focus.
28
June 30, 2014
D.
Basis of Accounting
Basis ofaccounting determines when transactions are recorded in the financial records and reported on the
financial statements. Government-wide financial statements are prepared using the accrual basis of
accounting. Governmental funds use the modified accrual basis of accounting. Proprietary and fiduciary
funds also use the accrual basis of accounting. Differences in the accrual and the modified accrual basis of
accounting arise in the recognition ofrevenue, the recording ofunearned revenue and deferred inflows and
outflows of resources, and in the presentation of expenses versus expenditures. Unearned revenues are
addressed in Note 2L, and deferred inflows/outflows of resources in Note 2M.
Revenues - Exchange and Non-Exchange Transactions
Revenue resulting from exchange transactions, in which each party gives and receives essentially equal
value, is recorded on the acçrual basis when the exchange takes place. On a modified accrual basis,
revenue is recorded in the fiscal year in which the resources are measurable and become available.
Available means that the resources will be collected within the current fiscal year or are expected to be
collected soon enough thereafter to be used to pay liabilities of the current fiscal year. For the School
District, available means expected to be received within sixty days of fiscal year-end.
Non-exchange transactions, in which the School District receives value without directly giving equal value
in retum, include income taxes, property taxes, grants, entitlements and donations. Revenue from property
taxes is recognized in the fiscal year for which the taxes are levied (see Note 5). Revenue from grants,
entitlements and donations is recognized in the fiscal year in which all eligibility requirements have been
satisfied. Eligibility requirements include timing requirements, which specifu the year when the resources
are required to be used or the year when use is first permitted, matching requirements, in which the School
District must provide local resources to be used for a specified purpose, and expenditure requirements, in
which the resources are provided to the School District on a reimbursement basis. On a modified accrual
basis, revenue from non-exchange transactions must also be available before it can be recognized.
Under the modified accrual basis, the following revenue sources are considered to be both measurable and
available atyear end: property taxes available as an advance, interest, tuition, grants, fees and rentals.
Expenses/Expenditures
On the accrual basis of accounting, exp€nses are recognized at the time they are incurred.
The measurement focus
of
governmental fund accounting
is on decreases in net financial resources
(expenditures) rather than expenses. Expenditures are generally recognized in the accounting period in
which the related fund liability is incurred, if measurable. Allocations of cost, such as depreciation and
amofüzation, are not recognized in governmental funds.
E.
Budgetary Data
An operating budget is adopted each year for the General Fund on a modified accrual basis of accounting
The Pennsylvania School Code dictates specific procedures relative to adoption of the School District's
budget and reporting of its financial statements, specifically:
The School District, before levyrng annual school taxes, is required to prepare an operating budget for the
succeeding fiscal year.
29
June 30, 2014
The School District is required to adopt a proposed budget at least thirty (30) days prior to adoption ofthe
annual budget. The proposed budget shall be printed or otherwise made available for public inspection to
all persons and shall be made available for duplication to any person, on request, at least twenty (20) days
prior to the date set for the adoption of the budget. Final action shall not be taken on the proposed budget
until after ten (10) days ofpublic notice.
The Board of Directors may make transfers of funds appropriated to any particular item of expenditure by
legislative action. An affirmative vote of two{hirds of all members of the board is required. The amounts
reported as the original budgeted amounts in the budgetary statements reflect the amounts in the certificate
when the original appropriations were adopted. The amounts reported as the final budgeted amounts in the
budgetary statements reflect the amounts in the final amended certificate issued during fiscal year 2014.
Fund balances in Budgetary Funds may be appropriated based on resolutions passed by the Board of
Education, which authorized the School District to make expenditures. Appropriations lapse at the end of
the fiscal period. In order to preserve a portion of an appropriation for which an expenditure has been
committed by a purchase order contract, or other form of commitment, an encumbrance is recorded.
Included in the General Fund budget are program budgets as prescribed by the State and Federal agencies
funding the program. These budgets are approved on a program by program basis by the State or Federal
funding agency.
An Enterprise fund budget is not
adopted; however,
a formal budget is prepared and
approved by
management and expenditures are controlled on the basis of this budget.
F.
Prepaid Items
Payments made to vendors for services that will benefit periods beyond June 30, 2014, are recorded as
prepaid items using the consumption method. A current asset for the prepaid amount is recorded at the
time of the purchase and an expenditure/expense is reported in the year in which serviçes are consumed.
G.
Inventory
On government-wide financial statements inventories are presented at the lower cost or market on a first-in,
frrst-out basis and are expensed when used.
Inventories in governmental funds are stated at cost by the first-in, first-out method. The purchase method
is used to account for inventories. Under the purchase method, inventories are recorded as expenditures
when purchased; however, an estimated value of inventories ($50,000) is reported as an asset in the
General Fund. The inventories in the General Fund are equally offset by nonspendable fund balance which
indicates they do not constitute "available spendable resources" even though they are a component ofnet
current assets. The General Fund is the only governmental fund that has material inventory balances as of
Iune30,2014.
as of June 30, 2014. The
inventory consisted of government donated commodities which were valued at estimated fair market value,
and purchased commodities and supplies, both valued at cost using the first-in, first-out (FIFO) method.
Any unused commodities donated by the federal government at June 30,2014 are reported as unearned
A physical inventory of the Food Service Fund food and supplies was taken
revenue.
30
June 30' 2014
H.
Capital Assets
General capital assets result from expenditures in the governmental funds. These assets are reported in the
goveÍunental activities column of the govemment-wide statement of net position but are not reported in the
fund financial statements. Capital assets used by the proprietary fund are reported in both the business-type
activities column on the government-wide statement of net position and in the fund financial statements.
All
capital assets are capitalized at cost (or estimated historical cost) and updated for additions and
retirements during the year. Donated fixed assets are recorded at their fair market values as of the date
received. The School District maintains a capitalizaÍion threshold of fifteen hundred dollars ($ 1,500). The
School District does not possess any infrastructure. Improvements are capitalized; the costs of normal
maintenance and repairs that do not add to the value of the asset or materially extend an asset's life are not
capitalized.
All reported capital
assets, except for land and construction in progress, are depreciated. Improvements are
depreciated over the remaining useful lives of the related capital assets. Depreciation is computed using the
straight-line method over the following useful lives:
Estimated Lives
ôn
Buildings and Improvements
Furniture and Equipment
Site Improvements
I.
15 - 40 years
5 - 20 years
15 - 30 years
Original Issue Discounts
Bond discounts are reported as direct adjustments to the face amount of the bond and are deferred and
amortized over the life of the bond using the straight-line method of amortization.
J.
Receivables and Payables
Transactions between funds that are representative of lending/borrowing arrangements outstanding at the
end of the hscal year are referred to as either "due to/from other funds" (i.e. the current portion of interfund
loans) or "advances to/from other funds" (i.e. the non-current portion of interfund loans). Any residual
balances outstanding between the governmental activities and business-type activities are reported in the
government-wide financial statements as "internal balances." In governmental fund financial statements,
advances between funds are offset by an amount reported as nonspendable fund balance to indicate that
they are not available for appropriation and are not expendable available financial resources.
All receivables
are determined to be collectible. and no allowance has been established.
Receivables from and payables
to extemal parties are reported
separately and are not offset in the
of the government-wide financial
proprietary fund financial statements and business-type activities
statements, unless a right of offset exists.
K.
Accrued Liabilities and Long-term Obligations
All payables, accrued liabilities and long-term obligations are reported in the govemment-wide financial
statements, and all payables, accrued liabilities and long-term obligations payable from proprietary funds
are reported on the proprietary fund financial statements.
3l
Notes to tr'inancial Statements
June 30, 2014
In general, governmental fund payables and accrued liabilities that, once incurred, are paid in a timely
manner and in full from current financial resources, are reported as obligations of the funds. However,
claims and judgments, compensated absences, special termination benefits and contractually required
pension contributions that will be paid from governmental funds are reported as a liability in the fund
financial statements only to the extent that they are due for payment during the current year. Bonds are
recognized as a liability on the fund financial statements when due.
L.
UnearnedRevenues
The District reports uneamed revenue on its government-wide and fund financial statements. Unearned
revenues arise when potential revenue does not meet both the "measurable" and "available" criteria for
recognition in the current period (fund financial statements). Unearned revenues also arise when resources
are unearned by the District and received before it has a legal claim to them, as when grant monies are
received prior to the incurrence of qualifuing expenditures (fund financial statements and government-wide
financial statements). In subsequent periods, when both rovenue recognition criteria are met, or when the
District has a legal claim to the resources, the liability for unearned revenue is removed from the applicable
financial statement and revenue is recognized.
M.
Deferred Outflows/Inflows of Resources
In addition to assets, the statement of financial position reports a separate section for deferred outflows of
resources. This separate financial statement element, deferred outflows of resources, represents a
consumption of net position or fund balance that applies to a future period(s) and thus, will not be
recognized as an outflow of resources (expense/expenditure) until then. The District currently reports no
deferred outfl ows of resources.
In addition to liabilities, the statement of financial position reports a separate section for deferred inflows
of
resources. This separate financial statement element, deferred inflows of resources, represents an
acquisition of net position or fund balance that applies to a future period(s) and so will not be recognized as
an inflow of resources (revenue) until that time. The District has one item, which arises only under a
modified accrual basis of accounting, that qualifies for reporting in this category. Accordingly, unavailable
revenue from delinquent taxes receivable of$798,716 is reported as a deferred inflow ofresources on the
governmental funds balance sheet only.
N.
Fund Balance Classification
GASB Statement No. 54, "Fund Bqlance Reporting and Governmental Fund Type Definitions," provides
more clearly defined fund balance categories to make the nature and extent of the constraints placed on a
government's fund balances more transparent. The following classifications describe the relative strength
of the spending constraints:
a
Nonspendable Fund Balance - amounts that are not in nonspendable form (such as inventory or
prepaid items) or are legally or contractually required to be maint¿ined intact.
Restricted Fund Balance - amounts constrained to specific purposes by their providers (such as
grantors, bondholders, and higher levels ofgovernment), through constitutional provisions, or by
enabling legislation.
32
June 30, 2014
a
Committed Fund Balance - amounts constrained to specific purposes by the District itself, using
its highest level of decision-making authority (i.e., School Board). To be reported as committed,
amounts cannot be used for any other purpose unless the District takes the same highest level
action to remove or change the constraint.
a
Assigned Fund Balance - amounts the District intends to use for a specific purpose. Intent can be
expressed by the School Board or by an official or body to which the School Board delegates the
authority.
a
Unassigned Fund Balance - amounts that are available for any purpose. Positive amounts are
reported only in the general fund.
As of June 30,2014, fund balance components, other than unassigned, consist of the following:
Nonspendable

The School Board establishes (and modifies or rescinds) fund balance commitments by resolution of the
board. A fund balance commitment is further indicated in the budget document as a commitment of thc
fund. Assigned fund balance may be established by the Business Manager and/or Superintendent, as
delegated by the School Board.
The District would typically use Restricted fund balances first, followed by Committed resources, and then
Assigned resources, as appropriate opportunities arise, but reserves the right
Unassigned resor¡rces first to defer the use of these other classified funds.

Net Position
Net position represents the difference between assets and dsferred outflows of resources, and liabilities and
deferred inflows ofresources. Net position invested in capital assets, net ofrelated debt consists ofcapital
assets, net ofaccumulated depreciation, reduced by the outstanding balances ofany borrowings used for the
acquisition, construction or improvement of those assets. Net position is reported as restricted when there
are limitations imposed on its use either through the enabling legislation adopted by the School District or
through external restrictions imposed by creditors, grantors or laws or regulations of other governments.
When both restricted and unrestricted resources are available for use,
restricted resources first, then unrestricted resources as they are needed.
it is the District's
policy to
use
The government-wide statement of net position reports 51,782,167 of restricted net position, which is
restricted by enabling legislation for capital projects.
JJ
June 30,2014
P. Estimates
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the
United States of America requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts
reported in the financial statements and accompanying notes. Actual results may differ from those
estimates.
Q.
PensÍon Plan
Substantially all fulI-time and part-time employees of the District participate in a cost-sharing multiple
employer defined benefit pension plan. GASB Statement No. 27, Accounting þr Pensions by Støte and
Local Governmental Employers, requires an employer that participates in such a plan to recognize annual
pension expenditures or expenses equal to its contractually required contributions, subject to the modified
accrual basis of accounting in governmental funds. (That is, if contributions from governmental funds are
required but not made, the difference would not be reported as an expenditure but as a long-term liability if
not payable with expendable, available financial resources.) The District made all required contributions
for the year ended June 30, 2014, and has recognized them as expenditures and expenses in the
governmental and proprietary funds, respectively.
3.
Cash and Cash Equivalents and Investments
Under Section 440.1 of the Public School Code
of
1949, as amended, the District is permitted to invest its
monies as follows:
Obligations of (a) the United States of America or any of its agencies or instrumentalities backed
States of America, (b) the Commonwealth of
Permsylvania or any of its agencies or instrumentalities backed by the full faith and credit of the
Commonwealth, or (c) any political subdivision of the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania or any of
its agencies or instrumentalities backed by the full faith and credit of the political subdivision.
by the full faith and credit of the Unitsd
Deposits in savings or time deposits or share accounts of institutions insured by the Federal
Deposit Insurance Corporation to the extent that such accounts are so insured and, for any
amounts above the insured maximum, provided that approved collateral as provided by law is
pledged by the depository.
The deposit and investment policy of the school district adheres to state statutes and prudent business practice.
Cash equivalents are defined as short-term, highly liquid investments that are readily convertible to known
amounts of cash and include investments with original maturities of three months or less. Cash and cash
equivalents consist of demand deposits at local financial institutions, money market mutual fund investments
and certificates
of
deposit with Pennsylvania Local GoveÍrment Investment Trust (PLGIT) and the
Pennsylvania School District Liquid Asset Fund (PSDLAF), and cash on hand of $200. The market values of
deposits are equal to the cost of the deposits. The investments are stated at cost including accrued interest
which approximates market value.
34
June 30, 2014
The District invests in the Pennsylvania School District Liquid Asset Fund (PSDLAF) and the Pennsylvania
Local Government Investment Trust (PLGIT) as authorized by the Board. PSDLAF was established to enable
school districts to pool funds for investment in instruments authorized by Section 440.1 of the Pennsylvania
School Code of 1949, as amended. PLGIT insures that it will not place deposits with any single issuing
institution if the largest participant's pro rata share of such deposits exceeds insurance limits unless such
deposits are collateralized as prescribed by Act 72 of the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania. These funds have
the characteristics of open-end mutual funds and are not subject to credit risk classification.
The District's investments include multþle long-term certificates of deposit with PSDLAF and PLGIT

The elected tax collectors are required to return any uncollected taxes to the county's tax claim bureau by
January 15. It has been determined the amount of outstanding taxes as of June 30, 2014 is $861,301. The
School District, in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America,
recognized the delinquent and unpaid taxes receivable. An allowance for uncollectible taxes was not
est¿blished by the administration. A portion of the amount estimated to be collectible, which was measurable
and available within 60 days, was recognized as revenue and the balance recorded as a deferred inflow
of
resources in the fund financial statements.

DefÌned Benefït Pension PIan
Plan Description
The District contributes to a governmental cost-sharing multiple-employer defined benefit pension plan
administered by Pennsylvania Public School Employee's Retirement System (PSERS). Benefit provisions of
the plan are established under the provisions of the Pennsylvania Public School Employees' Retirement Code
(the Code) and may be amended by an act of the Pennsylvania State Legislature. The plan provides retirement
and disability, legislatively mandated ad hoc cost-of-living adjustments, and healthcare insurance premium
assistance to qualifying plan members and beneficiaries. It also provides for refunds of a member's
accumulated contribution upon termination of a member's employment in the public school sector. PSERS
issues a publicly available financial report that includes financial statements and required supplementary
information for the plan. That report may be obtained by writing to Diane J. Wert, Office of Financial
Management, Public School Employees' Retirement System, 5 N. 5th Street, Harrisburg, PA, l7l0l-1905. This
publication is also available on the publications section of the PSERS website at ww\M.psers.state.pa.us.
Fundine Policv
The contribution policy is set by the Code and requires contributions by active members, employers, and the
Commonwealth.
Contribution rates:
Member contributions
-
Active members who joined PSERS prior to July 22, 1983, contribute at 5.25o/o (Membership
Class T-C) or at6.50Yo (Membership Class T-D) of the member's qualifying compensation.
Members who joined PSERS on or after July 22, 1983, and who were active or inactive as of July
l, 2001, contribute at 6.250/o (Membership Class T-C) or at 7 .50%o (Membership Class T-D) of the
member's qualifying compensation.
Members who joined PSERS after June 30,2001 and before July 1,2011, contribute at7.50Yo
(automatic Membership Class T-D). For all new hires and for members who elected Class T-D
membership, the higher contribution rates began with service rendered on or after January 1,2002.
39
June 30, 2014
Members who joined PSERS after June 30,2011, automatically contribute at the Membership
Class T-E rate of 7.50o/o (base rate) of the member's qualifuing compensation. All new hires after
June 30, 201l, who elect Class T-F membership, contribute at 10.30o/o (base rate) of the member's
qualifying compensation. Membership Class T-E and Class T-F are affected by a "shared risk"
provision in Act 120 of 2010 that in future fiscal years could cause the Membership Class T-E
contribution rate to fluctuate between 7.50% and 9.50o/o and Membership Class T-F contribution
rate could fluctuate between 10.30% and 12.30%.
Employer contributions
-
The contribution required of participating employers is based on an actuarial
valuation and is expressed as a percentage ofannual covered payroll during the period for which the amount is
determined. Before July l, 1995, the school district and the Commonwealth shared the employer contribution
rate equally. Since July l, 1995, the school districts are required to pay the entire employer contribution rate
and are reimbursed by the Commonwealth in an amount equal to the Commonwealth's share as determined by
the market valueþersonal income aid ratio (as defined in Act 29 of 1994), which is at least one-half of the total
employer rate. For the fiscal year ended June 30, 2014, the rate of the employer's contribution was 16.93
perc€nt ofcovered payroll. The 16.93 percent rate is composed ofa pension contribution rate of 16.00 percent
for pension benefits and 0.93 percent for healthcare insurance premium assistance. Conemaugh Township Area
School District's contributions to PSERS forthe years ending June 30,2014,2013 and2012were5919,674,
5656,767, and $468,440, respectively. Those amounts are equal to the required contribution for each year.
10. Post-employment Healthcare Benefits
The Public School Employees' Retirement System (PSERS) provides a health insurance premium assistance
program (premium assistance), a post-employment healthcare plan as defined in the Public School Employees'
Retirement Code and amended by Act 29. The program is available to all eligible annuitants who elect to
participate. Under this program, an employer contribution rate for premium assistance was established to
provide reserves in the Health Insurance Account that are sufficient for the payment of premium assistance
benefits.
Participating eligible aruruítants are entitled to receive premium assistance payments equal to the lesser of $100
per month or their monthly insurance premium. In order to receive premium assistance, eligible annuitants
must obtain their health insurance through their employer or the System's Health Options Program (HOP), in
which the system acts as a conduit between the insurance companies and the eligible annuitant.
11.
Postemployment Benefits
From an accrual accounting perspective, the cost of postemployment healthcare benefits, like the cost of
pension benefits, should be associated with the periods in which the cost occurs, rather than in the future year
when it will be paid. In adopting the requirements of GASB Statement No. 45 during the year ended June 30,
2009,the District recognizes the cost of postemployment healthcare in the year when employee services are
received, reports the accumulated liability from prior years, and provides information useful in assessing
potential demands on the District's future cash flows. Because the District adopted the requirements of GASB
Statement No. 45 prospectively, recognition of the liability accumulated from prior years will be phased in over
20 years, commencing with the 2009 liability.
40
June 30, 2014
Plan Description
The District provides continuation of medical and pharmacy benefits to employees who retire from the District.
Further, the District offers retirement cash bonuses. Retirement cash bonuses include $1,500 plus $5O/year of

Annual Other Postemployment Benefit Cost
For the fiscal year ended June 30,2014, the District's annual OPEB cost (i.e., expense) of $236,517 is equal to
the Annual Required Contribution. Considering the District's annual OPEB cost as well as the payment of
current health insurance premiums, which totaled $239,300, the result was a decrease in the District's Net
OPEB Obligation of $2,783 for the year ended June 30, 2014.

Actuarial Methods and Assumptions
Projections ofbenefits for financial reporting purposes are based on the substantive plan (the plan as understood
by the employer and plan members) and include the types of benefits provided at the time of each valuation and
the historical pattern of sharing benefit Çosts between the employer and plan members to that point. Most
included coverages are "community-rated" and annual premiums for communiÍy-rafed coverages were used as a
proxy for claims costs without age adjustment. The unfunded actuarial accrued liability is being amortized over
20 years on a level percent ofpayroll closed basis.
The projection of future benefits for an ongoing plan involves estimates of the value of reported amounts and
assumptions about the probability of occurrencc of future events far into the future. Actuarially determined
amounts are subject to continual revision as actual results are compared with past expectations and new
estimates are made about the future. The actuarial methods and assumptions used include techniques that are
designed to reduce the effects of short-term volatility in actuarial accrued liabilities and the acfuarial value of
assets, consistent with the long-term perspective ofthe calculations.
43
Notes to FinancÍal Statements
June 30, 2014
l, 20ll actuarial valuation, the liabilities were computed using the projected unit credit method and
level percent of payroll amortization. The actuarial assumptions utilized a 4olo discount rate. Because the plan is
unfunded, reference to the general assets, which are short-term in nature (such as money market funds), was
considered in the selection of the 4Yo rate. The valuation assumes a 7.lo/o healthcare cost trend increase for
fiscal year 2014-15, reduced by decrements to a rate of 5.8%by 2027 .

General Oblieation Bonds. Series of 2014
The District issued General Obligation Bonds, Series of 2014, dated June 17, 2014, tn the principal amount of
$4,095,000. The proceeds of the bonds were used to fund various capital improvements to the facilities of the
School District, refund the District's 2006 lease agreement with the Banc of America, and to pay all costs and
expenses incurred by the District in connection with the issuance and sale of these bonds. The bonds bear
interest rates ranging from 0.37Yo to 4.00Yo with annual principal maturities from March 2015 through
September 2035. The balance outstanding at June 30,2014 was 54,095,000.
General Oblieation Bonds. Series of 2012
The District issued General Obligation Bonds, Series of 2012, dated September 26, 2012, in the principal
amount of $8,225,000. The proceeds of the bonds were used to fund certain additions and alterations to the
Conemaugh Township Area Elementary School and other capital projects within the District, and to pay all
costs incidental to the issuance of these bonds. The bonds bea¡ interest rates ranging from 0.600% to 3.625Yo
with annual principal maturities from December 2012 through December 2037. The balance outstanding at
June 30, 2014 was $7,675,000.
Other Long-Term Financing: Enerey Saver Project
In December 2006, the District entered into an agreement with Banc of America Public Capital Corp., a Kansas
corporation, whereby the District purchases ooenergy-saving" equipment from Banc of America. The intent is
that this energy-savings project will save the District $1,567,035 over the next 15 years in utility costs (or
approximately S104,469 annually). The District is financing this project totaling $1,594,067 through Banc of
America aI a rate of 4.01%o with annual payments of $142,092 commencing September 28, 2007 and ending
September 28,2021. The project was finalized in fiscal year 2009. The balance of the financing agreement was
paid in its entirety through the use of the Series of 2014 bond proceeds, resulting in a $0 balance outstanding at
June 30, 2014.
Accumulated Compensated Absences
In accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America, the District
accrues liabilities for compensated absences. Compensated absences reflect the potential cost of sick leave
30,2014. The School District allows all employees to accumulate their unused
sick leave. Upon retirement, eligible employees shall receive separation benefits based upon the tot¿l days of
unused sick leave accumulated while in the employ of Conemaugh Township Area School District at the rate of
$40 per day for the first 100 days, $50 per day for days 101-200 and 460 per day for accumulated unused days
in excess of 200. The School District has computed a total liability of $437,428 at June 30,2014 with $405,323
reflected in the general fund and $32,105 reflected in the proprietary fund. Due to the nature of the obligation
for accrued separation benefits, annual requirements to amofüze such obligations are not determinable and have
earned by employees as of June
not been presented.
General obligation bonds and other long-term financing agreements entered into for governmental activity
purposes are liquidated by the general fund. Compensated absences liabilities will be paid by the general fund;
whereas, those related to business-type activities will be paid by the proprietary fund.

15. Jointly Governed Organization
The School District governs, with several other school districts, a vocational technical school. Each district is
represented on the vo-tech's school board. However, no on-going financial interest or responsibility exists
between the School District and the vo-tech. The district's tuition expense for its students attending the vo-tech
for fiscal 2014 was 5194,731.
16. Contingent Liabilities
Grant Programs
The School District participates in both state and federally assisted grant programs. These programs are subject
to program compliance audits by the grantors or their representatives. The School District is potentially liable
for any expenditures which may be disallowed pursuant to the term of these grant programs. Management is
not aware of any material items of noncompliance which would result in the disallowance of program
expenditures.

June 30, 2014
17. Self Insurance - Medical Insurance
The School District is participating in the insurance consortium with the Greater Johnstown A¡ea Consortium to
provide for the medical care for eligible employees and their dependents. The consortium, which administers
the plan, monitors the school's deposits into the school district trust account to be held for the benefits described
above and Highmark Services, the plan administrator, processes and pays the claims. The consortium limits its
liability by purchasing stop-loss insurance coverage. Conemaugh Township Area School District's liability at
June 30, 2014 for unpaid claims incurred prior to the fiscal year end is not readily determinable. No liability
has been recorded for these claims at June 30,2014 as the District recognizes medical claim expense as claims
are paid.
18. Risk Management
The District is exposed to various risks of loss related to theft of, damage to, and destruction of assets; errors
and omissions; and natural disasters. The District has purchased various insurance policies to safeguard its
assets from risk of loss. Insurance coverage appears to be consistent with previous years. During the year
ended June 30,2014 and the two previous fiscal years, no settlements exceeded insurance coverage.
19. Related Party Transactions
Intermediate Unit Participation
The District is a member of Appalachia Intermediate Unit 8. The District avails itself of various services
provided by this membership including special education, curriculum development, and certain internal service
functions. The total of services provided to Conemaugh Township A¡ea School District for the year ended June
30,2014 for IU8 programs amounted to $298,411. At June 30,2014, the District had a balance due to
Appalachia IU8 of $29,934 for services.
Vocational Technical School Participation
The District is served by the Greater Johnstown Area Vocational-Technical School. Students of the District
have available at the Vocational-Technical School courses and curriculums related to the technical training
fields. Costs of the Vocational-Technical School are shared with other local school districts. Conemaugh
Township Area School District made direct payments totaling 5194,731 for the current year's operations.
20. Economic Dependency
Conemaugh Township Area School District receives approximately 68% of ils revenue from the State of
Pennsylvania in the form of state subsidies. Changes in funding levels by the State could have a material effect
on future operations of the District.
21. Nonmonetary Transactions
The District receives one of its federal program subsidies by means of noncash transfer. The U.S. Departrnent
of Agriculture, through the Pennsylvania Department of Agriculture, provides food commodities under the
National School Lunch Program. These nonmonetary commodity items are valued at market values and
recorded as r€venue as received. The total food commodities donated by the federal government for the fiscal
year 2014 totaled $53,8 17.
47
June 30, 2014
22. Changes in Accounting Principles and Restatement of Net Position
For the year ended June 30, 2014, the District has implemented GASB Statement No. 65, Items Previously
Reported as Assets and Liabilities. This Statement establishes accounting and hnancial reporting standards that
reclassiff, as deferred outflows of resources or deferred inflows of resources, certain items that were previously
reported as assets and liabilities.
In accordance with GASB 65, debt issuance costs, except any portion related to prepaid insurance costs, should
be recognized as an expense in the period incurred. Prior to the implementation of GASB 65, such costs were
deferred and amortized over the life of the debt. This change in accounting principle has resulted in a
restatemcnt (decrease) of the District's net position, effective July l, 2013, in the amount of 5165,442,

Report on fnternal Control over Financial Reporting and on Compliance
and Other Matters Based on an Audit of Financial Statements Performed in
Accordance with Government Audítíng Snndards
Independent Auditors' Report
West Campus Avenue
We have audited, in accordance with the 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, the financial statements of the governmental activities, the business-t)æe activities,
each major fund, and the aggregate remaining fund information of Conemaugh Township Area School District as of
and for the year ended June 30,2014, and the related notes to the financial statements, which collectively comprise
Conemaugh Township Area School District's basic financial statements, and have issued our report thereon dated
December 15,2014.
Internal Control Over Financial Reporting
In planning and performing our audit of the financial statements, we considered Conemaugh Township Area School
District's internal control over financial reporting (internal control) to determine the audit procedures that are
appropriate in the circumstances for the purpose of expressing our opinions on the financial statements, but not for
the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the District's internal control. Accordingly, we do not
express an opinion on the effectiveness of Conemaugh Township Area School District's internal control.
in internal control exists when the desigrr or operation of a control does not allow management or
employees, in the normal cor¡rse of perforrning their assigned functions, to prevent, or detect and correct
misstatements on a timely basis. A material weakness is a deficiency, or a combination of deficiencies, in internal
control such that there is a reasonable possibility that a material misstatement of the entity's financial statements will
not be prevented, or detected and corrected on a timely basis. A signifi.cant deficiency is a deficiency, oÍ a

combination of deficiencies, in internal control that is less severe than a material weakness, yet important enough to
merit attention by those charged with governance.
Our consideration of internal control was for the limited purpose described in the first paragraph of this section and
was not designed to identiff all deficiencies in internal control that might be material weaknesses or significant
deficiencies. Given these limitations, during our audit we did not identifu any deficiencies in internal control that we
consider to be material weaknesses. However, material weaknesses may exist that have not been identified.
Compliance and Other Matters
As part of obtaining reasonable assr¡rance about whether Conemaugh Township Area School District's financial
st¿tements are free from material misstatement, we performed tests of its compliance with certain provisions of
laws, regulations, contracts and grant agreements, noncompliance with which could have a direct and material effect
on the determination of financial statement amounts. However, providing an opinion on compliance with those

provisions was not an objective of our audit and accordingly, we do not express such an opinion. The results of our
tests disclosed no instances of noncompliance or other matters that are required to be reported under Government
Auditing Standørds.
Purpose of this Report
The purpose of this report is solely to describe the scope of our testing of internal control and compliance and the
results of that testing, and not to provide an opinion on the effectiveness of the entity's internal control or on
compliance. This report is an integral part of an audit performed in accordance with Government Auditing
Standards in considering the entity's intemal control and compliance. Accordingly, this communication is not
suitable for any other purpose.

Our responsibility is to express an opiniòn on compliance for each of Conemaugh Township Area School District's

Report on Internal Control Over Compliance
Management of Conemaugh Township Area School District is responsible for establishing and maintaining effective
internal control over compliance with the types of compliance requirements referred to above. In planning and
performing our audit of compliance, we considered Conemaugh Township Area School District's internal control
over compliance with the types of requirements that could have a direct and material effect on each major federal
program to determine the auditing procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances for the purpose of expressing
an opinion on compliance for each major federal program and to test and report on internal control over compliance
in accordance with OMB Circular A-133, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of
internal control over compliance. Accordingly, we do not express an opinion on the effectiveness of Conemaugh
Township Area School District's internal control over compliance.
A deficiency in internal control over compliance exists when the design or operation of a control over compliance
does not allow management or employees, in the normal course of performing their assigned functions, to prevent, or
detect and correct, noncompliance with a type of compliance requirement of a federal program on a timely basis. A
material wealcness in internal control over compliance is a deficiency, or combination of deficiencies, in internal
control over compliance, such that there is a reasonable possibility that material noncompliance with a type of
compliance requirement of a federal program will not be prevented, or detected and corrected, on a timely basis. A
significant deficiency in internal control over compliance is a deficiency, or a combination of deficiencies, in internal
control over compliance with a type of compliance requirement of a federal program that is less severe than a
material weakness in internal control over compliance, yet important enough to merit attention by those charged with
governance.
Our consideration of internal control over compliance was for the limited purpose described in the first paragraph
of
this section and was not designed to identify all deficiencies in internal control over compliance that might be
material weaknesses or significant deficiencies. V/e did not identify any deficiencies in internal control over
compliance that we consider to be material weaknesses. However, material weaknesses may exist that have not been
identified.
Purpose of This Report
The purpose of this report on internal control over compliance is solely to describe the scope of our testing of internal
control over compliance and the results of that testing based on the requirements
