Certificate of Board
We, the undersigned, certify that the attached Comprehensive Annual Financial Report of the

and approved at a meeting of the Board of Trustees of the Highland Park Independent School
District on January 21, 2014.

Board of Trustees and the Taxpayers of the Highland Park Independent School District:
The Texas Education Code requires that all school districts file a complete set of
financial statements with the Texas Education Agency (TEA) within 150 days of the
close of each fiscal year. The financial statements must be presented in conformity with
general accepted accounting principles (GAAP) and audited by a firm of licensed
certified public accountants in accordance with generally accepted auditing standards.
Pursuant to that requirement, we hereby issue the Comprehensive Annual Financial
Report (CAFR) of the Highland Park Independent School District (the District) for the
fiscal year ended August 31, 2013.
This report consists of management’s representations concerning the finances of the
District. Responsibility for both the accuracy of the presented data and the completeness
and fairness of the presentation, including all disclosures, rests with the District. We
believe the information presented is accurate in all material aspects; that it is presented
in a manner designed to fairly set forth the financial position and the results of operations
of the District as measured by the financial activity of its various funds; and that all
disclosures necessary to enable the reader to gain an understanding of the District’s
financial activities have been included.
Weaver and Tidwell, LLP, Dallas, Texas, a firm of licensed certified public accountants,
have audited the financial statements of the District. The goal of the independent audit
is to provide reasonable assurance that the financial statements of the District for the
fiscal year ended August 31, 2013 are free of material misstatement. The independent
audit involves examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and
disclosures in the financial statements; assessing the accounting principles used and
significant estimates made by management; and evaluating the overall financial
statement presentation. The independent auditor concluded, based upon the audit, that
there was a reasonable basis for rendering an unqualified opinion that the District’s
financial statements for the fiscal year ended August 31, 2013, are fairly presented in
conformity with GAAP. The independent auditor’s report is presented as the first
component of the financial section of this report.
GAAP require that management provide a narrative introduction, overview, and analysis
to accompany the basic financial statements in the form of Management’s Discussion
and Analysis (MD&A). This letter of transmittal is designed to complement MD&A and
should be read in conjunction with it. The District’s MD&A is found immediately following
the report of the independent auditor.
iii
Profile of the District
The District opened its first campus, John S. Armstrong School in 1914 with ninety-five
students, three teachers and a principal. The residents of the District elect a sevenmember Board of Trustees (the “Board”). The seven members of the Board serve,
without compensation, a three-year term of office. On a rotating basis, two or three
places are filled during annual elections held in May. In 2014, the election will be held
on May 10th. Vacancies may be filled by appointment until the next election. Candidates
must be qualified voters of the District.
Regular meetings are scheduled the second Tuesday of every month with the exception
of the month of July when there is no Board meeting. Special meetings and study
sessions are scheduled as needed and announced in compliance with public notice
requirements.
The Board has final control over local school matters limited only by the state legislature,
by the courts, and by the will of the people as expressed in school board elections.
Board decisions are based on a majority vote of those present.
In general, the Board adopts policies, sets direction for curriculum, and employs the
Superintendent, who oversees the operations of the District and its schools. Along with
general Board business, Trustees are charged with numerous statutory regulations that
include calling trustee and other school elections, canvassing the results, organizing the
Board, and electing its officers. The Board is also responsible for setting the tax rate,
setting salary schedules, acting as a board of appeals in personnel and student matters,
confirming recommendations for textbook adoptions, and adopting and amending annual
budgets for the General Fund and the Debt Service Fund.
The District serves three communities within a six square mile area located in north
central Dallas County and is surrounded by the Dallas Independent School District. The
Town of Highland Park, City of University Park and City of Dallas are the three different
municipalities served by the District.
The small community is known as the “Park
Cities.” There is no raw land for residential, commercial, or industrial development.
Southern Methodist University is located in the District.
The District provides a quality public education program for children from kindergarten
through grade 12. In addition to the basic instructional programs, the District offers
special education, gifted and talented, bilingual/ESL, remedial, college preparatory, and
career and technical programs. The District is fully accredited by the Texas Education
Agency.
Since the opening of the first campus in 1914, it has become apparent that the
preservation of a quality education is a priority in the community. The District has
attained a national standing for excellence due to the generous support of the
community and the deep commitment of faculty and staff. This affiliation paralleled with
an atmosphere set upon high expectations, results in a phenomenal educational
environment.
The District currently has four elementary schools (grades K-4), an intermediate school
(grades 5-6), a middle school (grades 7-8), and one high school (grades 9-12).
Enrollment for the 2013-14 year is 7,034, an increase of 186 students from the previous
year. Highland Park High School graduated 474 seniors in 2013.
iv
The District’s mission statement is as follows: “The Highland Park Independent School
District, with an unyielding commitment to excellence, will provide an exceptional
academic program that recognizes the unique potential of each student and integrates
the intellectual, social, cultural and physical aspects of learning. This program will
empower each student to become an eager lifelong learner committed to academic
excellence, integrity, responsible citizenship and service to others.”
To accomplish its mission, the District attracts highly qualified personnel to teach an
individualized educational program in all grade levels. A student-centered approach to
learning through the use of a widely diversified curriculum is the educational philosophy
of the District. A high degree of professionalism exists among District employees, and
an on-going recognition of student and staff excellence contributes to this environment.
The HPISD schools have long been committed to excellence in education. The District’s
students continue to win academic and co-curricular honors in district, state and national
competitions. District staff, likewise, is recognized as outstanding educators and
professionals by their peers in Texas and throughout the nation.
Long Range Planning
Much of the District's instructional program planning is done using the District and
Campus Improvement Plans. The plans demonstrate the commitment to increase
student achievement for all students. Campus Improvement Plans address specific
needs of students at individual campuses. The District and Campus Improvement Plans
include annual goals for improving student achievement and objective evaluation criteria
for measuring success.
The annual budget serves as the foundation for the District’s financial planning and
control. This process begins in January. The District’s Finance Committee sets budget
targets and provides oversight for the budget development process. In addition, multiyear budget targets are established so that future finance challenges can be addressed
and met. The Finance Committee is comprised of district administrators, all members of
the Board, and community members.
Based on the parameters set forth, all district managers are required to submit to the
District’s Business Services Department their requests for appropriations for the next
school year. The requests are compiled, summarized, and provided to the Finance
Committee for review and discussion. Upon approval of the Finance Committee, a
preliminary budget is then presented and discussed with the Board at one or more public
budget workshops. The proposed budget is prepared by August 20th for the September
1 fiscal year start date. The Board president calls a board meeting for the purpose of
discussing and adopting the budget and the tax rate. A notice of this meeting is required
to be published at least 10 days, but not more than 30 days before the public meeting.
The budget is adopted prior to August 31st for a September 1 fiscal year start date.
Internal Controls
Management of the District is responsible for establishing and maintaining an internal
control structure. In addition, management is to ensure that the District’s assets are
protected from loss, theft, or misuse, and to ensure that adequate accounting data are
compiled to allow for the preparation of financial statements are in conformity with
generally accepted accounting principles. The internal control structure is designed to
v
provide reasonable, but not absolute, assurance that these objectives are met. The
concept of reasonable assurance recognizes that:
•
The cost of a control should not exceed the benefits likely to be derived.
•
The valuation of costs and benefits requires estimates and judgments by
Management.
As a recipient of state financial assistance, the District’s internal control structure is
designed to ensure District compliance with applicable laws and regulations related to
this assistance.
This internal control structure is subject to periodic evaluation by
Management and independent auditors.
The District’s internal control structure includes budgetary, as well as accounting
controls. The objective of budgetary controls is to ensure compliance with legal
provisions embodied in the official budget adopted by the Board. The Board adopts an
official budget for the general fund and the debt service fund. In accordance with
procedures prescribed by the State Board of Education, the Board must approve budget
amendments that affect the total amount in a fund or functional spending category prior
to the expenditure of the funds. The functional level is specified by the Board policy as
the legal level of budgetary control.
Budgetary control is maintained at the
organizational level by the encumbrance of estimated purchase amounts prior to the
release of purchase orders to vendors. Outstanding encumbrances at the end of the
fiscal year are a reserve of fund balance and are treated as expenditures in the
subsequent year upon receipt of the goods or services.
Factors Affecting Financial Condition
The information presented in the financial statements is perhaps best understood when
it is considered within the broader perspective of the specific environment in which the
District operates.
Introduction. The District is located in the Park Cities community, north central Dallas
County, approximately three miles north of downtown Dallas. The Park Cities
community is considered one of the finest communities in which to live in Dallas County
because of the outstanding public schools, distinguished homes and excellent public
service departments. In addition, the Park Cities community is one of the wealthiest
communities in Texas.
Population. The Texas Department of State Health Services estimates the population
in Dallas County at 2,508,741 for 2013. The estimated population for the Park Cities is
34,600.
Local economy. Dallas has established a national reputation as an economic force.
The economic stability of the Park Cities provides a solid tax base for the District. The
largest employers in the Park Cities are Southern Methodist University, the District, and
the municipalities. In the Dallas Area, major employers include AMR Corporation, Dallas
ISD, Walmart, Verizon Communications Inc., SBC Communications, Texas Health
Resources, City of Dallas, Baylor Health Care System, UT Southwestern Medical City,
Medical City of Dallas, and the U.S. Postal Service. There are many other major
employers in Dallas County providing products or services in the industries of
telecommunications, retail, health services, financial services, military aircraft design,
vi
restaurants, and many other areas. The diverse economy and highly skilled work force
contributes to the strengths of the Dallas Area.
The District’s tax base has grown 5 percent over the previous year. For tax year 2013,
the Dallas County Appraisal District certified that, as of July 2013, the total market value
of all real and business personal property, before qualified exemptions, was
$15,488,842,000. The taxable value for the same property was $11,733,798,388.
Residential property makes up 87 percent of the taxable value on the tax roll. The
District is required to provide a $15,000 homestead exemption for qualified homeowners.
In addition to State required exemptions, the District offers the maximum local
homestead exemption of twenty percent, thereby reducing the taxable value of the
average home to approximately $1,110,000.
Major Accomplishments and Initiatives

Student Demographic Study. During the 2009-10 school year, Population and Survey
Analysts, Inc. completed a student demographic study within District boundaries in the
following areas of concern: housing projections; ratios of students per household;
student enrollment projections, and long range planning. The scenario of most-likely
growth projections shows a projected increase of 759 students over the next five years,
with an additional 217 students projected by the 2018-19 school year. Therefore, by fall
2016, Highland Park ISD could have a projected enrollment of 7,529 students and by fall
2018 a total of 7,746 students. Annual growth rates could range from 1.2% to 2.5%.
District Facilities. Currently, the District is able to house all students under the
individual campuses. In 2013, the District began capital projects to the Intermediate and
Middle School campus to include expanding the cafeteria area and refinishing out a
6400 square foot shell space into three classrooms. The final cost of the project was
approximately $3.7 million and was completed in the fall of 2013.
The cafeteria project renovated 12,066 square feet of dining and kitchen space while
adding an additional 6,512 square feet of the same space. A security entry way was also
included in the renovations. The increased area will serve the projected student
population in the grades 5-8 for future years.
Projects completed in the 2012-13 year, included remodeling bathrooms and the media
center at one elementary campus; replacing the field turf and installing additional
handrails at the football stadium; remodeling a District owed building that is used by the
Highland Park Education Foundation; and remodeling a custodial house at one of the
elementary campuses.
The facility upgrades over the last three years accommodates the current enrollment of
students and will be adequate for several more years. However, the District is looking
viii
into how further expansion can be done at the existing campuses if enrollment exceeds
a project 8,000 by the end of the decade.
Component Unit. The Government-wide financial statements for the District include
one component unit, the Highland Park Education Foundation. The entity is a separate
503(c)(3) entity that has the sole purpose of raising funds for the District. The component
unit has its own Board of Trustees that is separate from the District’s Board of Trustees.
The financial information provided has been audited by a separate audit firm than the
Districts’ but has provided their financial data to Weaver and Tidwell, LLP for review and
inclusion into the District’s financial statements.
Awards and Acknowledgments
GFOA Certificate of Achievement. The Governmental Finance Officers Association of
the United States and Canada (GFOA) awarded a Certificate of Achievement for
Excellence in Financial Reporting to Highland Park Independent School District for its
comprehensive annual financial report for the fiscal year ended August 31, 2012. This
was the 15th consecutive year that the District has achieved this prestigious award. In
order to be awarded a Certificate of Achievement, a government must publish an easily
readable and efficiently organized comprehensive annual financial report. This report
satisfied both generally accepted accounting principles and applicable legal
requirements.
A Certificate of Achievement is valid for a period of one year only. We believe that our
current CAFR continues to meet the Certificate of Achievement Program’s requirements
and we are submitting it to the GFOA to determine its eligibility for another certificate.
ASBO Certificate of Excellence. The Association of School Business Officials (ASBO)
has awarded the Certificate of Excellence in Financial Reporting to the District for 15
consecutive years. This award is for school districts whose comprehensive annual
financial reports substantially conform to the recommended principles and standards of
financial reporting adopted by that organization. The award is granted only after an
intensive review of financial reports by an expert panel of certified public accountants
and practicing school business officials. Management believes that the CAFR for the
fiscal year ended August 31, 2013, which will be submitted to ASBO for review, also
conforms to their principles and standards.
FIRST (Financial Integrity Rating System of Texas). Highland Park Independent
School District received a rating of "Superior Achievement" under Texas' Schools FIRST
financial accountability rating system. The Superior Achievement rating is the state's
highest, demonstrating the quality of the Highland Park ISD's financial management and
reporting system. This is the 11th consecutive year Highland Park ISD has received the
superior rating.
Schools FIRST (Financial Integrity Rating System of Texas) is a financial accountability
system for Texas school districts developed by the Texas Education Agency in response
to Senate Bill 875 of the 76th Texas Legislature in 1999. The primary goal of Schools
FIRST is to achieve quality performance in the management of school districts' financial
resources, a goal made more significant due to the complexity of accounting associated
with Texas' school finance system. The accountability system was established in 2003.

The preparation of this report would not have been possible without the efficient and
dedicated services of the entire staff of the Business Services Department. We want to
express our appreciation to all members who assisted and contributed to the preparation
of this report. We would also like to thank the members of the Board of Trustees for
their interest and support in planning and conducting the financial operations of the
District in a responsible and progressive manner.

INDEPENDENT AUDITOR'S REPORT
To the Board of Trustees
Highland Park Independent School District
7015 Westchester Drive
Dallas, Texas 75205
Report on the Financial Statements
We have audited the accompanying financial statements of the governmental activities, the
business-type activities, the discretely presented component unit, each major fund, and the
aggregate remaining fund information of Highland Park Independent School District (the
District), as of and for the year ended August 31, 2013, and the related notes to the financial
statements, which collectively comprise the District’s basic financial statements as listed in the
table of contents.
Management’s Responsibility for the Financial Statements
Management is responsible for the preparation and fair presentation of these financial
statements in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of
America; this includes the design, implementation, and maintenance of internal control relevant
to the preparation and fair presentation of financial statements that are free from material
misstatement, whether due to fraud or error.
Auditor’s Responsibility
Our responsibility is to express opinions on these financial statements based on our audit. We
did not audit the financial statements of the Highland Park I.S.D. Education Foundation, the
discretely presented component unit. Those financial statements were audited by other auditors
whose report has been furnished to us, and our opinions, insofar as they relate to the amounts
included for the Highland Park I.S.D. Education Foundation, are based solely on the report of
the other auditors. 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 from material misstatement. The
financial statements of the Highland Park I.S.D. Education Foundation were not audited in
accordance with Government Auditing Standards.
An audit involves performing procedures to obtain audit evidence about the amounts and
disclosures in the financial statements. The procedures selected depend on the auditor’s
judgment, including the assessment of the risks of material misstatement of the financial
statements, whether due to fraud or error. In making those risk assessments, the auditor
considers internal control relevant to the entity’s preparation and fair presentation of the
financial statements in order to design audit procedures that are appropriate in the
circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the
entity’s internal control. Accordingly, we express no such opinion. An audit also includes
evaluating the appropriateness of accounting policies used and the reasonableness of
significant accounting estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall
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
In our opinion, based on our audit and the report of other auditors, the financial statements
referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the respective financial position of the
governmental activities, the business-type activities, the discretely presented component unit,
each major fund, and the aggregate remaining fund information of the District, as of August 31,
2013, and the respective changes in financial position, and, where applicable, cash flows
thereof for the year then ended in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in
the United States of America.
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 4–12
and 53–54 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.
Other Information
Our audit was conducted for the purpose of forming opinions on the financial statements that
collectively comprise the District’s basic financial statements. The introductory section,
combining and individual nonmajor fund financial statements, and statistical section, are
presented for purposes of additional analysis and are not a required part of the basic financial
statements. The schedule of expenditures of federal awards is presented for purposes of

The combining and individual nonmajor fund financial statements and the schedule of
expenditures of federal awards are the responsibility of management and were derived from and
relate directly to the underlying accounting and other records used to prepare the basic 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 basic financial statements or to the basic financial statements themselves, and
other additional procedures in accordance with auditing standards generally accepted in the
United States of America. In our opinion, the combining and individual nonmajor fund financial
statements and the schedule of expenditures of federal awards are fairly stated in all material
respects in relation to the basic financial statements as a whole.
The introductory and statistical sections have not been subjected to the auditing procedures
applied in the audit of the basic financial statements and, accordingly, we do not express an
opinion or provide any assurance on them.
Other Reporting Required by Government Auditing Standards
In accordance with Government Auditing Standards, we have also issued our report dated
January 15, 2014, on our consideration of the 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
Standards in considering the District’s internal control over financial reporting and compliance.

Management’s Discussion and Analysis
The business management team of Highland Park Independent School District has prepared this
narrative overview and analysis of the financial activities of the District for the fiscal year ended August
31, 2013. Readers are encouraged to review the information furnished in the letter of transmittal,
found at the front of this report, as well as the District’s financial statements, which follow this section.
Financial Highlights
•
The net position of the District at the close of the fiscal year was $75,394,638. Of this amount,
$25,767,489 is unrestricted and may be used to meet future obligations of the District’s operations.
•
As of the close of the fiscal year, the District’s governmental funds reported combined ending
fund balances of $24,282,747. Of this amount, $16,718,127 (approximately 68.8 percent) is
unassigned; and therefore, is available for spending at the government’s discretion.
•
At the end of the fiscal year, unassigned fund balance for the general fund was $16,730,139,
which approximated 13.6 percent of the total general fund expenditures.
Overview of the Financial Statements
This discussion and analysis is intended to serve as an introduction to the District’s basic financial
statements. The basic financial statements are comprised of three components: 1) government-wide
financial statements, 2) fund financial statements, and 3) notes to the financial statements. This report
also contains other supplementary information in addition to the basic financial statements.
Government-wide financial statements. The government-wide financial statements are designed to
provide readers with a broad overview of the District’s finances, in a manner similar to a private-sector
business.
The statement of net position presents information on all of the District’s assets and liabilities, with the
difference between the two reported as net position. Over time, increases or decreases in net position
may serve as a useful indicator of whether the financial position of the District is improving or
deteriorating.
The statement of activities presents information for all of the current year’s revenues and
expenses regardless of when cash is received or paid. Thus, revenues and expenses are reported
in this statement for some items that will only result in cash flows in future fiscal periods.
Both of the District’s government-wide financial statements distinguish the functions of the District as
being principally supported by taxes and intergovernmental revenues (governmental activities) as
opposed to business-type activities that are intended to recover all or a significant portion of their costs
through user fees and charges. The business-type activities of the District include a community
education program and a community tennis center. The government-wide financial statements can be
found at Exhibits A-1 and B-1.
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. The District, like other
state and local governments, uses fund accounting to ensure and demonstrate compliance with
finance-related requirements. The fund financial statements provide more detailed information about
the District’s most significant funds not the District as a whole. Some funds are required by State law
and/or bond covenants. Other funds may be established by the District to control and manage money for
-4-
particular purposes or to evidence appropriate use of certain taxes, grants and other special revenues.
All of the funds of the District can be divided into three categories: governmental funds, proprietary funds,
and fiduciary funds.
•
Governmental funds. Governmental funds are used to account for essentially the same
functions reported as governmental activities in the government-wide financial statements.
However, unlike the government-wide financial statements, governmental fund financial
statements focus on short-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 short-term financing requirements.
Because the focus on 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 short-term
financing decisions. Reconciliations are provided for both the governmental fund balance sheet
and statement of revenues, expenditures, and changes in fund balances. These reconciliations
facilitate the comparison between governmental funds and governmental activities.
The District maintained 12 governmental funds in fiscal year 2012-13. Information is presented
separately in the governmental fund balance sheet and in the governmental fund statement of
revenues, expenditures, and changes in fund balance for the general fund and the capital
projects fund, which are considered to be the only major funds. Financial data from the other 10
governmental funds are combined into a single, aggregated presentation. Individual fund data for
each of these non-major governmental funds are provided in the form of combining statements
found elsewhere in this report. The District adopts an annual appropriated budget for its general
fund and debt service fund. A budgetary comparison schedule has been provided to demonstrate
compliance with these budgets. The basic governmental fund financial statements can be found
at Exhibit C-1 and C-3.
•
Proprietary funds. Proprietary funds provide the same type of information as the governmentwide financial statements, only in more detail. There are two proprietary fund types. Enterprise
funds are used to report the same functions presented as business-type activities in the
government-wide financial statements. As mentioned above in the government-wide definition,
the District has two business-type activities or enterprise funds. The second type of proprietary
fund is the internal service fund.
Internal service funds are an accounting device used to
accumulate and allocate costs internally among the various functions. The District uses the
internal service fund to report activities for its self-funded insurance program.
The basic
proprietary fund financial statements are at Exhibits D-1, D-2 and D-3 in this report.
•
Fiduciary funds. Fiduciary funds are used to account for resources held for the benefit of parties
outside the District. Fiduciary funds are not reflected in the government-wide financial statements
because the resources of those funds are not available to support the District’s programs. The
District is the trustee, or fiduciary, for these funds and is responsible for ensuring that the assets
reported in these funds are used for their intended purposes. All the District’s fiduciary activities
are reported in a separate statement of fiduciary net assets and a statement of changes in
fiduciary net assets are at Exhibits E-1 and E-2 in this report.
Notes to the financial statements. The notes provide additional information that is essential to having
a complete understanding of the data provided in the government-wide and fund financial statements.
-5-
Other information. In addition to the basic financial statements and accompanying notes, this report
also presents certain required supplementary information that further explains and supports the
information in the financial statements. Required supplementary information can be found at Exhibits F-1
and G-3 in this report.
The combining statements referred to earlier in connection with non-major governmental funds are
presented immediately following the required supplementary information. Combining statements start at
Exhibit G-1 in this report and continue through Exhibit G-9. A required TEA schedule is located at Exhibit
H-1.
Government-wide Financial Analysis
As noted earlier, net position may serve over time as a useful indicator of a government’s financial
position. Exhibited below in Table I, are the District’s net positions summarized for both the governmental
activities and the business-type activities. Exhibited in Table II, is the change in the District’s net assets.

Government-Wide Activities. As of August 31, 2013, the District’s position exceeded its liabilities by
$75,394,638, an increase of $3,079,784 over the previous year-end. The total cost of all governmentwide activities for the fiscal year was $138,325,233. Funding for these government-wide activities is from
specific program revenues, property taxes, grants and contributions, and other general revenues. The
following is a summary of the government-wide activities:
•
•
•
The total cost of government-wide activities for fiscal year 2012-13 was $138,325,233.
Specific program revenues received in the amount of $13,885,800 were used to offset the cost of
activities.
The remaining cost of government-wide activities not directly funded by program revenues was
$124,439,433.
The following graph, Figure A-1, shows the District’s sources of revenue for the fiscal year.

Total District’s investment in capital assets (e.g., land, buildings and improvements, and furniture and
equipment) less any outstanding debt used to acquire those assets is $46,527,718. The District uses the
capital assets within the governmental activities to provide services to students; consequently, these
assets are not available for future spending. Although the District’s investment in its capital assets is
reported net of related debt, it should be noted that the resources needed to repay this debt must be
provided from other sources, since the capital assets themselves cannot be used to liquidate these
liabilities.
A small portion of the District’s net position, $3,099,431 (10.7 percent), represents resources that are
subject to external restrictions on how they may be used. The remaining balance of unrestricted net
position, $25,767,489, may be used to meet the District’s ongoing obligations. This surplus is not an
indication that the District has significant resources available to meet financial obligations next year, but
rather the result of having long-term commitments that are less than currently available resources.

Governmental Activities.
For the 2012-13 fiscal year, net position from activities, decreased by
$2,977,680. The net cost of governmental activities for the year was $124,936,846. The amount paid by
taxpayers for these activities through property taxes was $118,441,821 or 94.8 percent. However, of the
total amount of property taxes collected, the District was required to send $68,513,500 to the State as
required under the recapture provisions of Chapter 41 in the Texas Education Code. This amount
represents approximately 57.8 percent of all property tax revenue collected locally. The District’s Chapter
41 recapture payments to the State are shown on Exhibit B-1 of the financial statements under the
expense line item “Contracted Instructional Services Between Schools.” When excluding Chapter 41
recaptured payments to the State, the cost of governmental activities for the District was $68,694,707, a
decrease of 0.4 percent from the previous year.
Business-Type Activities.
Net position for business-type activities as of August 31, 2013, was
$2,438,283, an increase from prior year by $102,104. Charges for services, Operating Grants and
Contributions combined were $1,614,439 for the year, an increase of $26,704. Total cost of operations for
business-type activities were $1,117,026, which increased from the previous year by $46,259. Both
enterprises were profitable for the year. There was an operating transfer from the business-type activities
to the governmental activities in the amount of $400,000. As previously mentioned business-type
activities consist of two for-profit operations, the Seay Tennis Center and the Academy for Life-long
Learning. Transfers from their operations are done to support the governmental activities annual budget.
Financial Analysis of the District’s Funds
As stated earlier, the District uses fund accounting to ensure and demonstrate compliance with financerelated legal requirements, bond covenants, and segregation for particular purposes.
Governmental funds. The focus of the District’s governmental funds is to provide information on shortterm inflows, outflows, and balances of spendable resources. Such information is useful in assessing the
District’s financing requirements. In particular, unassigned fund balance may serve as a useful measure
of the District’s net resources available for spending at the end of the fiscal year.
-8-
As of August 31, 2013, the District’s governmental funds reported combined ending fund balances of
$24,282,747, a decrease of $3,958,562 from the previous year. Of the combined ending fund balances
approximately 61.5 percent, or $16,718,127 of this total amount constitutes unassigned fund balance.

At the end of the current fiscal year, the ending fund balance for the General Fund was unassigned and
totaled $16,730,139. The total fund balance represents 13.6 percent of total general fund expenditures.
The fund balance decreased by $639,435 as of the end of the fiscal year. The decrease is due to
expenditures exceeding revenues by $444,435 and net operating transfers out of $195,000 to the Capital
Projects Fund.
Property taxes are the primary source of revenue for the General Fund, representing 86.6 percent of the
total revenue for the fund. Property tax collections totaled $106,551,334 for the current fiscal year, an
increase of $966,423 from the previous year. The increase is related to the net property values increasing
by 0.2 percent. Total revenues for the General Fund equaled $121,923,431.
Total General Fund expenditures for the year ended August 31, 2013, were $122,367,866, an increase of
$481,056 over 2012 expenditures. The increase is primarily related to the net impact to the payroll
expenditure budget when considering of a 2 percent raise to the existing staff.
For the 2012-13 fiscal year, the Capital Projects Fund is a major reportable fund. This is reflected on
Exhibits C-1 and C-3. The fund balance as of August 31, 2013, is $3,127,558, a decrease of $3,226,273
from the prior year. The decrease is primarily attributed to a capital project at our intermediate and middle
school where the cafeteria dining and kitchen area is being expanded and the three classrooms are being
finished out from a shell state. In addition, $595,000 was transferred in from the General Fund for minor
renovations to the athletic stadium to include replacing the field turf and installing additional handrails.
Revenues for the Capital Projects Fund were $444,544, of which $422,311 was generated from donations
from support booster clubs. Donated revenue was used to renovate a media center at one of the District’s
elementary schools and minor capital improvements at two other elementary schools.
The non-major governmental funds column is comprised of the Debt Service Fund and 9 Special
Revenue Funds. The significant funds are discussed below.
-9-
The Debt Service Fund had tax revenues of $11,155,099 for the 2012-13 year. Expenditures from the
fund were $11,015,913 resulting in net revenues over expenditures in the amount of $202,516. On July
17, 2013, the District refinanced $22,545,000 of Series 2005 of Tax Unlimited Tax Refunding Bonds by
issuing Series 2013 Tax Refunding Bonds in the amount of $22,285,000. The final cost of the issuance
was $24,842,217. The District made a contribution of $495,000 towards the transaction to eliminate any
savings the District would have earned through the refunding in 2013. See Note 10 for addition
information on the refinancing. The ending fund balance was $1,432,942 for the fund.
The District maintained 9 special revenue funds in the current fiscal year. The total ending fund balance
for all special revenue funds combined was $2,992,108, an increase of $71,744 from the previous year.
The campus activity fund and the gift fund are the two largest special revenue funds. Together the two
funds represent $2,688,935 (89.9 percent) of the total ending fund balance of all special revenue funds.
Proprietary funds. As mentioned earlier, the District’s proprietary funds statements provide the same
type of information found in the government-wide financial statements, but in more detail.
Total net position for the enterprise funds as of August 31, 2013, totaled $2,438,283, an increase of
$102,104 from the previous year. Total income for the year was $1,573,612, an increase of $23,545
from last year. Expenditures for the year were $1,117,026, an increase of $46,259 over prior year. Detail
schedule can be reviewed at Exhibits G-4 and G-5
Total net position for the internal service fund as of August 31, 2013, totaled $1,418,122, an increase of
$401,071 from the prior year. The primary reason for the increase in net position was due to a favorable
year with workers compensation claims.
General Fund Budgetary Highlights
For the General Fund, the final budgeted amount for revenues was $122,912,887. This was $429,598
higher than the original adopted budget of $122,483,289. The difference was due to an increase in state
aid from the Texas Education Agency (TEA).
In August 2013, the District amended its appropriations budget to $123,653,585, an increase of $429,598
over the original adopted budget. The most significant appropriation budget amendment for the year was
a $595,000 operating transfer out to the Capital Projects Fund to fund the returfing of the field at the
football stadium and miscellaneous renovation to the stadium.
Capital Asset and Debt Administration
Capital assets. At August 31, 2013, the District had invested $147,884,170 in a broad range of capital
assets, including land, buildings and improvements, furniture and equipment and construction in
progress. (See Table V below).

As of the end of the fiscal year, there was a decrease of $1,180,097 in capital assets (net of depreciation)
used for governmental activities. Additional information about the District’s capital assets is presented in
Note 6 of the financial statements.
Long-term debt. As of August 31, 2013, the District had total bonded debt outstanding of $101,595,000,
a decrease of $7,190,000 from the prior year. As previously mentioned, the District refunded Series 2005
Bonds with Series 2013 Bonds. The refunding resulted in a decrease in the District’s debt service
payments of $1,442,756, which resulted in a present value economic gain of $1,373,710. The
$22,285,000 of the Unlimited Tax Refunding Bonds, Series 2005, were refunded and are considered
legally defeased, and are no longer included in the District’s basic financial statements. More detailed
information about the District’s long-term debt is presented in Note 9 of the financial statements.
Economic Factors and Next Year’s Budgets and Rates
The District experienced a 5 percent increase in taxable values for tax year 2013. The total appraised
local taxable value for the 2013-14 budget year was certified by the Dallas Central Appraisal District at
$11,733,798,388, an increase of $556,167,761 from the previous year. The District’s weighted average
daily attendance (WADA) used for the 2013-13 fiscal budget is 7,679.5.
The total tax rate for fiscal year 2013-14 is $1.1267 per $100 of value, $1.0267 for maintenance and
operations (General Fund) and $0.10 for interest and sinking (Debt Service Fund). This is a decrease in
the rate by $0.0075 which is in the Debt Service Rate. The Dallas County Tax Office certified adjusted
tax collections for both the General fund and the Debt Service Fund at $125,412,609, an increase of
$6,146,067 over the previous year.
For the 2013-14 fiscal year, the District budgeted total revenues for the General Fund at $125,500,147, of
which $112,699,955 will come from property tax collections, $8,571,692 will come from State aid, and the
remaining $4,228,500 will come from other local resources. Parent Teacher Organizations, Highland Park
Education Foundation and the Highland Park Sports Club has committed $2,723,500 to the District’s
General Fund budget.
The General Fund appropriations budget for 2013-14 is $126,276,517, which is an increase from the prior
year adopted budget by $3,052,530, or 2.5 percent increase. Of the $126,276,517 budgeted for 201314, $69,287,492 will be sent to the State for Chapter 41 recapture. This amount is an increase of 1.1
percent from the previous year. When eliminating that payment to the State, the District’s expenditure
budget for the 2013-14 year is $56,989,025, a 4.2 percent increase from prior year. An operating transfer
- 11 -
into the General Fund from an enterprise fund in the amount of $400,000 is budgeted for the 2013-14
year. The same amount that was budgeted in the 2012-13 year.
The 2013-14 general fund ending fund balance is estimated to be $16,353,764, which is adequate to fund
3.4 months of general fund operating expenditures when Chapter 41 recapture is eliminated from the
equation.
Debt Service fund revenues are budgeted at $10,926,848 for the 2013-14 year. Appropriations are
budgeted at $10,938,880, to include principal, interest and fees payments towards the District’s
outstanding bonded debt. The debt service ending fund balance as of the August 31, 2014 is estimated
at $1,311,063.

RECONCILIATON OF THE GOVERNMENTAL FUNDS STATEMENT OF
REVENUES, EXPENDITURES AND CHANGES IN FUND BALANCE
TO THE GOVERNMENT-WIDE STATEMENT OF ACTIVITIES
FOR THE YEAR ENDED AUGUST 31, 2013
TOTAL NET CHANGE IN FUND BALANCES - GOVERNMENTAL FUNDS
EXHIBIT C-4
$
(3,958,562)
The District uses internal service funds to charge the costs of certain activities such as
self-insurance to appropriate functions in other funds. The net income of
internal service funds is reported with government activities. The net effect of this
consolidation is to increase net position.
401,071
Current year capital outlays are expenditures in the fund financial statements, but
they are shown as increases in capital assets in the government-wide financial statements.
4,207,423
Depreciation is not recognized as an expense in governmental funds since it does not
require the use of current financial resources. The net effect of the current year's
depreciation is to decrease net position in the government-wide financial statements.
(5,343,736)
The issuance of long-term debt (e.g. bonds) provides current financial resources to
governmental funds, while the repayment of the principal of long-term debt consumes the
current financial resources of governmental funds. Neither transaction, however, has any
effect on net position. Also, governmental funds report the effect of issuance costs,
premiums, and deferred losses on refunding when debt is first issued; however the amounts
are deferred and amortized in the government-wide financial statements. This amount
represents the net effect of the following items:
o Refunding bonds issued - (22,285,000)
o Repayments - 29,475,000
o Debt issue costs - 127,886
o Deferred loss on refunding - 2,040,994
o Premium on bonds (2,062,217)
o Amortization of premium on bonds, 1,176,238, less the amortization of debt issue
costs (57,764) and deferred loss on refunding (951,911)
7,463,226
Current year changes in accrued interest payable do not require the use of current
financial resources; and therefore, are not reported as expenditures in governmental funds.
26,607
Loss on disposition of capital assets results in a decrease in net position , but the effect
is not recognized in the governmental funds.
(43,784)
Revenue from property taxes is deferred in the fund financial statements until they
are considered available to finance current expenditures, but such revenues are
recognized when assessed, net of an allowance for uncollectible accounts, in the
government-wide statements.

HIGHLAND PARK INDEPENDENT SCHOOL DISTRICT
NOTES TO THE BASIC FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
Note 1. Significant Accounting Policies
Highland Park Independent School District (the District) is a public educational agency operating
under the applicable laws and regulations of the State of Texas. It is governed by a seven
member Board of Trustees (the Board) elected by registered voters of the District. The District
prepares its basic financial statements in conformity with generally accepted accounting
principles promulgated by the Governmental Accounting Standards Board and other authoritative
sources identified in Statement on Auditing Standards No. 69 of the American Institute of
Certified Public Accountants; and it complies with the requirements of the appropriate version of
Texas Education Agency's Financial Accountability System Resource Guide (the Resource
Guide) and the requirements of contracts and grants of agencies from which it receives funds.
Reporting Entity
In defining the scope of the District for financial reporting purposes, the District conforms with
the criteria of GASB Statement No. 14, “The Financial Reporting Entity” as amended by GASB
Statement No. 39, “Determining Whether Certain Organizations Are Component Units” and
GASB No. 61, “The Financial Reporting Entity: Omnibus”. This report includes the financial
statements of the District’s primary government, which covers all funds or organizations that
are part of the District’s legal entity.
Additionally, the District’s reporting entity also includes the accounts of the Highland Park I.S.D.
Education Foundation, (the Foundation) as a discretely presented component unit, a legally
separate, tax exempt entity. The Foundation was organized to receive and distribute funds,
property and gift of any kind exclusively for the benefit of Highland Park Independent School
District, its students, and personnel in furtherance of the education objectives of the
Foundation. Separate financial statements are issued by the Foundation and can be obtained
from: Highland Park I.S.D. Education Foundation, 4201 Grassmere, Dallas, TX 75205.
Contributions from the Foundation to the District were approximately $350,000 for the year
ending August 31, 2013.
Government-wide and Fund Financial Statements
The government-wide financial statements (i.e., the statement of net position and the statement
of changes in net position) report information on all of the non-fiduciary activities of the primary
government. For the most part, the effect of interfund activity has been removed from these
statements. The governmental activities are supported by tax revenues and intergovernmental
revenues. Business-type activities include operations that 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 are offset by program revenues. Direct expenses are those that are clearly identifiable
with a specific function. 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 and 2) grants and contributions that are restricted to meeting operational or capital
requirements of a particular function. Taxes and other items not properly included among
program revenues are reported instead as general revenues.

HIGHLAND PARK INDEPENDENT SCHOOL DISTRICT
NOTES TO THE BASIC FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
Note 1. Significant Accounting Policies - Continued
Government-wide and Fund Financial Statements - Continued
Interfund activities between governmental funds and between governmental and proprietary
funds appear as due to/due from on the governmental fund balance sheet and proprietary fund
statement of net position and as other resources and other uses on the governmental fund
statement of revenues, expenditures and changes in fund balance and on the proprietary fund
statement of revenues, expenses, and changes in net position. All interfund transactions
between governmental funds and between governmental funds and internal service funds are
eliminated on the government-wide statements. Interfund activities between governmental
funds and enterprise funds remain on the government-wide statements and appear on the
government-wide statement of net position as internal balances and on the statement of
activities as interfund transfers. Interfund services provided and used are not eliminated in the
process of consolidation.
The fund financial statements provide reports on the financial condition and results of
operations for two fund categories - governmental and fiduciary. Since the resources in the
fiduciary funds cannot be used for District operations, they are not included in the governmentwide statements. The District considers some governmental funds major and reports their
financial condition and results of operations in a separate column.
Proprietary funds distinguish operating revenues and expenses from nonoperating items.
Operating revenues and expenses result from providing services and producing and delivering
goods in connection with a proprietary fund’s principal ongoing operations. All other revenues
and expenses are nonoperating.
Measurement Focus, Basis of Accounting, and Financial Statement Presentation
Measurement focus is the accounting convention, which determines which assets and liabilities
are included on the balance sheet of a fund type and whether a fund type's operating statement
presents "financial flow" or capital maintenance information.
Basis of accounting refers to when revenues and expenditures are recognized in the accounts
and reported in the financial statements. Basis of accounting relates to the timing of
measurements made, regardless of the measurement focus applied.
The government-wide financial statements use the economic resources measurement focus
and the accrual basis of accounting, as do the proprietary fund and fiduciary fund financial
statements (with the exception of Agency funds which are custodial in nature thus do not have
a measurement focus). Revenues are recorded when earned and expenses are recorded when
a liability is incurred, regardless of the timing of the related cash flows. Property taxes are
recognized as revenues in the year for which they are levied. Grants and similar items are
recognized as revenue as soon as all eligibility requirements imposed by the provider have
been met.
- 28 -
HIGHLAND PARK INDEPENDENT SCHOOL DISTRICT
NOTES TO THE BASIC FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
Note 1. Significant Accounting Policies - Continued
Measurement Focus, Basis of Accounting, and Financial Statement Presentation Continued
Governmental fund financial statements use the current financial resources measurement
focus and the modified accrual basis of accounting. With this measurement focus, only current
assets, current liabilities and fund balances are included on the balance sheet. Operating
statements of these funds present net increases and decreases in current assets (i.e.,
revenues and other financing sources and expenditures and other financing uses).
The modified accrual basis of accounting recognizes revenues in the accounting period in
which they become both measurable and available, and it recognizes expenditures in the
accounting period in which the fund liability is incurred, if measurable, except for unmatured
interest and principal on long-term debt, which is recognized when due. The expenditures
related to certain compensated absences and claims and judgments are recognized when the
obligations are expected to be liquidated with expendable available financial resources. The
District considers all revenues available if they are collectible within 60 days after year end.
Revenues from local sources consist primarily of property taxes. Property tax revenues and
revenues received from the State are recognized under the susceptible to accrual concept.
Miscellaneous revenues are recorded as revenue when received in cash because they are
generally not measurable until actually received. Investment earnings are recorded as earned,
since they are both measurable and available.
Grant funds are considered to be earned to the extent of expenditures made under the
provisions of the grant. Accordingly, when such funds are received, they are recorded as
deferred revenues until related and authorized expenditures have been made. If balances
have not been expended by the end of the project period, grantors sometimes require the
District to refund all or part of the unused amount.
The Proprietary Fund types and Fiduciary Fund types are accounted for on a flow of economic
resources measurement focus and utilize the accrual basis of accounting. This basis of
accounting recognizes revenues in the accounting period in which they are earned and become
measurable and expenses in the accounting period in which they are incurred and become
measurable. The District applies all GASB pronouncements. With this measurement focus, all
assets and all liabilities associated with the operation of these funds are included on the fund
Statement of Net Position. The fund equity is segregated into net investment in capital assets,
restricted net position, and unrestricted net position.
Fund Accounting
The District's accounting system is organized and operated on the basis of funds, each of which
is considered a separate accounting entity. The operations of each fund are accounted for with a
separate set of self-balancing accounts that comprise its assets, liabilities, fund equity, revenues
and expenditures. District resources are allocated to and accounted for in individual funds based
upon the purposes for which they are to be spent and the means by which spending activities are
controlled.

HIGHLAND PARK INDEPENDENT SCHOOL DISTRICT
NOTES TO THE BASIC FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
Note 1. Significant Accounting Policies – Continued
Fund Accounting - Continued
The District reports the following major governmental funds:
General Fund is the general operating fund of the District. It is utilized to account for all
revenues and expenditures except those required to be accounted for in another fund. Major
sources include local property taxes, state funding under the minimum Foundation Program
and interest earnings. Expenditures include all costs associated with the daily operations of
the schools.
Capital Projects Fund is utilized to account for financial resources to be used for the
acquisition or construction of major capital facilities. Such resources are derived from
proceeds of general obligation bonds and interest earned on such monies and local sources
committed for such purposes.
Additionally, the District reports the following fund types:
Governmental Funds:
Special Revenue Funds are utilized to account for the proceeds of specific revenue sources,
other than expendable trusts or for major capital projects that are legally restricted or
committed for specified purposes.
Debt Service Fund is utilized to account for the accumulation of resources for, and the
payment of, general long-term debt principal, interest, and related costs arising from general
obligation bonds.
Proprietary Funds:
Enterprise Funds are used to account for operations that are financed and operated in a
manner similar to private business enterprises where the intent of the District is that the costs
(expenses including depreciation) of providing services to the general public on a continuing
basis be financed through user charges.
Seay Tennis Center is used to account for the operations of the tennis center that provides
services to the residents of the District and to the District's athletic teams.
Academy for Lifelong Learning is used to account for the operations of the continuing
education school that provides services to the residents of the District.
Internal Service Funds are used to account for the financing of goods or services by one
department to another on a cost reimbursement basis.
Insurance Fund is used to account for the District's partially self-insured workers’
compensation plan.

NOTES TO THE BASIC FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
Note 1. Significant Accounting Policies – Continued
Fund Accounting - Continued
Fiduciary Funds:
Private Purpose Trust Funds consist of various scholarship funds held in a trustee capacity.
Agency Funds are used to account for assets held by the District in a trustee or agency
capacity for student and employee activities, as well as other organizations.
Budgets and Budgetary Accounting
The District facilitates budgeting and budgetary control by preparing annual budgets for the
General Fund and Debt Service Fund and appropriately amending the budgets as
circumstances dictate; the annual budgets as amended are an integral part of the accounting
system, providing appropriate budgetary control over revenues, expenditures and transfers
through comparison of actual data and encumbrances to budgetary data.
The Superintendent of Schools is designated as the budget officer of the District and is
responsible for preparing, or causing to be prepared, a budget for the next succeeding fiscal
year.
The budget is required to be prepared not later than August 20 at a meeting of the Board of
Trustees called for the purpose of adopting such budget after ten days public notice of the
meeting has been given.
The administration performs semi-annual budget reviews by which budget requirements are reevaluated and revisions recommended to the Board of Trustees. The Board of Trustees may
approve amendments to the budget, which are required when a change is made to any one of
the functional expenditure categories or revenue object accounts defined by the Texas
Education Agency. Such amendments must be reflected in the official minutes of the Board,
and may not, by law, occur after August 31. Therefore, the legal level of budgetary control is at
the function level within each budgeted fund. Management may transfer appropriations
between objects, sub-objects, organizations, programs, and projects without approval from the
Board of Trustees, as long as appropriations are not increased at the function level.
The Texas Education Agency (TEA) requires the budgets to be filed with the Texas Education
Agency through regular submissions to the Public Education Information Management System
(PEIMS). The budget should not be exceeded in any functional expenditure category under
TEA requirements. The final amended versions of these budgets are used in this report.
Unused appropriations lapse at the end of each fiscal year; however, the District increases the
subsequent year appropriations by an amount equal to outstanding encumbrances.
Supplemental appropriations were not significant to the original adopted budget for the fiscal
year ended August 31, 2013.
Budgets for the General and Debt Service Funds are adopted on a basis consistent with
generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP).

HIGHLAND PARK INDEPENDENT SCHOOL DISTRICT
NOTES TO THE BASIC FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
Note 1. Significant Accounting Policies – Continued
Investments
The District’s general policy is to report money market investments and short-term participating
interest-earning investment contracts at amortized cost and to report nonparticipating interestearning investment contracts using a cost-based measure. However, if the fair value of an
investment is significantly affected by the impairment of the credit standing of the issuer or by
other factors, it is reported at fair value. All other investments are reported at fair value unless
a legal contract exists which guarantees a higher value. The term “short-term” refers to
investments, which have a remaining term of one year or less at time of purchase. The term
“nonparticipating” means that the investment’s value does not vary with market interest rate
changes.
Local Tax Revenues and Receivables
Ad valorem taxes are levied from valuations assessed as of January 1 and are recognized as
revenue beginning on the date of levy, October 1, when they become available. Available means
collected within the current period or expected to be collected soon enough thereafter to be used
to pay current liabilities. Taxes not expected to be collected within sixty days of the fiscal year
end are recorded as deferred revenues and are recognized when they become available. Taxes
collected prior to the levy date to which they apply are recorded as deferred revenues and
recognized as revenue of the period to which they apply.
Current taxes are due on October 1 and become delinquent if unpaid on February 1. Pursuant to
Subtitle E of the Texas Property Tax Code, penalties and interest on unpaid taxes are calculated
at the rate of 1% per month of delinquency. On January 1 of each year, a tax lien attaches to
property to secure the payment of all taxes, penalties and interest ultimately imposed.
Allowance for Uncollectible Taxes
An allowance for uncollectible taxes is provided based upon an analysis of historical trends.
Uncollectible personal property taxes are periodically reviewed and written off, but the District is
prohibited from writing-off real property taxes without specific authority from the Texas
legislature.
The District expects to receive all significant receivables within one year of August 31, 2013.

Note 1. Significant Accounting Policies – Continued
Capital Assets
Capital assets which include land, buildings, furniture and equipment, are reported in the
applicable governmental or business-type activities columns in the government-wide financial
statements. Capital assets are defined by the District as assets with an initial, individual cost of
more than $5,000 and an estimated life of two years or more. Such assets are recorded at
historical cost or estimated historical cost if purchased or constructed. Donated capital assets
are recorded at estimated fair market value at the date of donation.
The costs of normal maintenance and repairs that do not add to the value of the asset or
materially extend asset lives are not capitalized. Major outlays for capital assets are capitalized
as projects are constructed.
Buildings, furniture, and equipment of the District are depreciated using the straight line method
over the following estimated useful lives:
Years
Buildings
Building Improvements
Vehicles
Office Equipment
Computer Equipment
10-40
10-20
5-11
5-7
5-7
Compensated Absences
This District does not compensate its employees for unused leave; therefore no accrual for
compensated absences is required.
Long Term Debt
In the government-wide financial statements bond premiums and discounts, as well as
issuance costs, are deferred and amortized over the life of the bonds using the effective
interest method. Bonds payable are reported net of the applicable bond premium or discount.
Bond issuance costs are reported as deferred charges and amortized over the term of the
related debt.
In the fund financial statements, governmental fund types recognize bond premiums and
discounts, as well as bond issuance costs, in the period the debt is issued. The face amount of
debt issued is reported as other financing sources. Premiums received on debt issuances are
reported as other financing sources while discounts on debt issuances are reported as other
financing uses. Issuance costs, whether or not withheld from the actual debt proceeds
received, are reported as debt service expenditures.

Note 1. Significant Accounting Policies – Continued
Governmental Fund Financial Statements
The District has adopted the provisions of GASB Statement No. 54, Fund Balance Reporting
and Government Fund Type Definitions. The objective of the statement 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 government fund type
definitions. The statement establishes fund balance classifications that comprise a hierarchy
based primarily on the extent to which a government is bound to observe constraints imposed
upon the use of the resources reported in governmental funds. Fund balance classifications,
under GASB 54 are Nonspendable, Restricted, Committed, Assigned, and Unassigned. These
classifications reflect not only the nature of funds, but also provide clarity to the level of
restriction placed upon fund balance. Fund balance can have different levels of constraint,
such as external versus internal compliance requirements. Unassigned fund balance is a
residual classification within the General Fund. The General Fund should be the only fund that
reports a positive unassigned balance. In all other funds, unassigned is limited to negative
residual fund balance.
In accordance with GASB 54, the District classifies governmental fund balances as follows:
Nonspendable -- includes amounts that cannot be spent because they are either not in
spendable form, or, for legal or contractual reasons, must be kept intact. This classification
includes inventories, prepaid items and long term receivables.
Restricted -- includes fund balance amounts that are constrained for specific purposes which
are externally imposed by providers, such as creditors or amounts restricted due to
constitutional provisions or enabling legislation. This classification includes the retirement of
long term debt, donations, construction programs and other federal and state grants.
Committed -- includes fund balance amounts that are constrained for specific purposes that are
internally imposed by the District through formal action of the highest level of decision making
authority. Committed fund balance is reported pursuant to resolution passed by the District’s
Board of Trustees. This classification includes campus activity funds, and various other
construction funds.
Assigned -- includes fund balance amounts that are self-imposed by the District to be used for
a particular purpose.
Fund balance can be assigned by the District’s Board, the
Superintendent, or the Superintendent’s designee.
Unassigned -- includes residual positive fund balance within the General Fund which has not
been classified within the other above mentioned categories. Unassigned fund balance may
also include negative balances for any governmental fund if expenditures exceed amounts
restricted, committed, or assigned for those specific purposes.
When both restricted and unrestricted fund balances are available for use, it is the District’s
policy to use restricted fund balance first, then unrestricted fund balance. Furthermore,
committed fund balances are reduced first, followed by assigned amounts and the unassigned
amounts when expenditures are incurred for purposes for which amounts in any of those
unrestricted fund balance classifications can be used.

NOTES TO THE BASIC FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
Note 1. Significant Accounting Policies – Continued
Debt Service
The ad valorem tax rate is allocated each year between the General Fund and the Debt Service
Fund. The full amount estimated to be required for general obligation bond retirement is
provided by the debt service tax together with interest earned within the Debt Service Fund.
Accounting Estimates
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with generally accepted accounting
principles requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported
amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of
the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the
reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
The amount of state foundation revenue a school district earns for a year may vary until the
time when final values for all factors in the state and formula become available. Availability can
be as late as midway into the next fiscal year. It is at least reasonably possible that the
foundation revenue estimate for the year ended August 31, 2013 will change.
Cash Flow Presentation
For the purpose of presenting the statement of cash flows, the District considers all highly liquid
investments with an original maturity or initial maturity of less than three months to be cash
equivalents.
Interfund Transactions
During the course of normal operations, it is necessary for the District to enter into transactions
among its various funds. These transactions consist of one or more of the following types:
•
•
•
Reimbursements to a fund, which are generally reflected through the allocation of pooled
cash accounts, for expenditures or expenses initially made from it that are properly applicable
to another fund. All interfund receivable / payable balances at August 31, 2013 were the
result of these types of reimbursements and are expected to be repaid within one year.
Transfers in and out, as appropriate, which are shown as other financing sources or uses in
the fund financial statements.
All other outstanding balances between funds are reported as “due to/from other funds” in
the fund financial statements.

NOTES TO THE BASIC FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
Note 1. Significant Accounting Policies – Continued
Account Code Reporting
The Data Control Codes refer to the account code structure prescribed by TEA in the Financial
Accountability Resource Guide. The Texas Education Agency requires school districts to display
these codes in the financial statements filed with the Agency in order to insure accuracy in
building a statewide data base for policy development and funding plans.
Note 2. Cash and Investments
The funds of the District must be deposited and invested under the terms of a contract,
contents of which are set out in the Depository Contract Law. The depository bank places
approved pledged securities for safekeeping and trust with the District’s agent bank in an
amount sufficient to protect District funds on a day-to-day basis during the period of the
contract. The pledge of approved securities is waived only to the extent of the depository
bank’s dollar amount of Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (“FDIC”) insurance.
At August 31, 2013, the carrying amount of the District’s deposits (cash, certificates of deposit,
and interest-bearing savings accounts included in temporary investments) was $10,246,884
and bank balance was $10,208,601. The District’s cash deposits at August 31, 2013 and
during the year ended August 31, 2013 were entirely covered by FDIC insurance or by pledged
collateral held by the District’s agent bank in the District’s name.
The following is disclosed regarding coverage of combined balances on the date of highest
deposit:
a. Depository: Plains Capital Bank
b. The market value of securities pledged as of the date of the highest combined balance
on deposit was $141,237,328.
c. The highest combined balances of cash, savings, and time deposit accounts amounted
to $113,649,032 on February 6, 2013.
d. Total amount of FDIC coverage at the time of the highest combined balance was
$250,000.

Legal and Contractual Provisions Governing Deposits and Investments
The Public Funds Investment Act (Government Code Chapter 2256) contains specific
provisions in the areas of investment practices, management reports and establishment of
appropriate policies. Among other things, it requires the District to adopt, implement, and
publicize an investment policy. That policy must address the following areas: (1) safety of
principal and liquidity, (2) portfolio diversification, (3) allowable investments, (4) acceptable
risk levels, (5) expected rates of return, (6) maximum allowable stated maturity of portfolio
investments, (7) maximum average dollar-weighted maturity, allowed based on the stated
maturity date for the portfolio, (8) investment staff quality and capabilities, (9) and bid
solicitation preferences for certificates of deposit. Statutes and the District’s investment
policy authorized the District to invest in the following investments as summarized in the

Disclosures relating to interest rate risk
Interest rate risk is the risk that changes in market interest rates will adversely affect the fair
value of an investment. Generally, the longer the maturity of an investment the greater the
sensitivity of its fair value to changes in market interest rates. By policy the District shall use
final and weighted-average maturity limits and diversification to reduce exposure to changes in
interest rates. One of the ways that the District manages its exposure to interest rate risk is by
investing mainly in investment pools which purchase a combination of shorter term investments
with an average maturity of less than 60 days thus reducing the interest rate risk. The District
monitors the interest rate risk inherent in its portfolio by measuring the weighted average
maturity of its portfolio.
As of August 31, 2013, the District had the following investments:

As of August 31, 2013 the District did not invest in any securities which are highly sensitive to
interest rate fluctuations.
Disclosures relating to credit risk
Generally, credit risk is the risk that an issuer of an investment will not fulfill its obligation to the
holder of the investment. This is measured by the assignment of a rating by a nationally
recognized statistical rating organization. The table in the previous section lists the minimum
rating required by (where applicable) the Public Funds Investment Act, the District’s investment
policy, or debt agreements, and the actual rating as of year-end for each investment type.

HIGHLAND PARK INDEPENDENT SCHOOL DISTRICT
NOTES TO THE BASIC FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
Note 2. Cash and Investments – Continued
Concentration of credit risk
The investment policy of the District contains no limitations on the amount that can be invested
in any one issuer. As of August 31, 2013 other than external investment pools the District did
not have 5% or more of its investment with one issuer.
Custodial credit risk
Custodial credit risk for deposits is the risk that, in the event of the failure of a depository
financial institution, a government will not be able to recover its deposits or will not be able to
recover collateral securities that are in the possession of an outside party. The custodial credit
risk for investments is the risk that, in the event of the failure of the counterparty to a
transaction, a government will not be able to recover the value of its investment or collateral
securities that are in the possession of another party. The Public Funds Investment Act and
the District’s investment policy do not contain legal or policy requirements that would limit the
exposure to custodial credit risk for deposits or investments, other than the following provision
for deposits: The Public Funds Investment Act requires that a financial institution secure
deposits made by state or local governmental units by pledging securities in an undivided
collateral pool held by a depository regulated under state law (unless so waived by the
governmental unit). The market value of the pledged securities in the collateral pool must
equal at least the bank balance less the FDIC insurance at all times.
As of August 31, 2013 the District deposits with financial institutions in excess of federal
depository insurance limits were fully collateralized.
The Lone Star Investment Pool (the “Pool”) is organized in conformity with the Interlocal
Cooperation Act, Chapter 791 of the Texas Government Code, and the Public Funds Investment
Act, Chapter 2256 of the Texas Government Code. The Pool is governed by an 11 member
Board of Trustees, consisting of individuals representing entities participating in the Pool. The
fair value of the District’s position in the Pool is the same as the value of the Pool shares.

The District is exposed to various risk of loss related to torts, theft or damage to and destruction of
assets; errors and omissions and national disasters for which the District carries commercial
insurance. There have been no significant reductions in coverage from the prior year and
settlements have not exceeded coverage in the past three years.

NOTES TO THE BASIC FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
Note 8. Risk Management - Continued
As of August 31, 2011, the District discontinued all of the self-funded medical plans. At that time,
employees became eligible to purchase health insurance through TRS-Active Care which is the
statewide health plan for public education employees established by the 77th Texas Legislature and
is a fully insured plan administered by Blue Cross and Blue Shield of Texas. Additionally, the
District maintains a self-insured worker's compensation plan administered by the Texas
Association of School Boards. For this plan, stop-loss coverage was in effect with an aggregate
limit of $365,305.
Self-insurance fund revenues and expenses are recognized on the accrual basis. Unpaid claims
filed prior to August 31 and subsequently approved by the administrator of the plan are recorded as
a liability.

NOTES TO THE BASIC FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
Note 8. Risk Management - Continued
End-of-year claims payable for Workers’ Compensation includes an estimate of incurred but
unreported claims reserve loss. This liability is based on requirements of Governmental
Accounting Standards Board Statement No. 10, which requires that a liability has been incurred
as of the date of the financial statements and the amount of loss can be reasonably estimated.
Because actual claim liabilities depend on such complex factors as inflation, changes in legal
doctrines, and damage awards, the process used in computing the liability does not result
necessarily in an exact amount. The liability booked was the discounted actuarial estimate at the
mean funding level. The District does not provide any post-retirement health benefits to its
employees
Note 9. Bonds Payable
General long-term debt of the District consists of Unlimited Tax School Building Bonds payable.

Bonds, Series 2013. Net proceeds from the sale of the bonds and an issuer contribution totaled
$24,821,948. Of these proceeds, $24,714,331 was placed with an escrow agent to provide for all
future debt payments of the refunded bonds.
This refunding resulted in a decrease in the District’s debt service payments of $1,442,756, which
resulted in an economic gain (difference between the present value of the debt service payments of
the old debt and new debt) of $1,373,710. As a result of this transaction, $22,545,000 of Unlimited
Tax Refunding Bonds, Series 2005 were refunded and are considered legally defeased, and are no
longer included in the District’s basic financial statements.

Note 12. Employees’ Retirement Plan
Plan Description. The Highland Park Independent School District contributes to the Teacher
Retirement System of Texas (TRS), a cost-sharing multiple employer defined benefit pension
plan. TRS administers retirement and disability annuities, and death and survivor benefits to
employees and beneficiaries of employees of the public school systems of Texas. It operates
primarily under the provisions of the Texas Constitution, Article XVI, Sec. 67, and Texas
Government Code, Title 8, Subtitle C. TRS also administers proportional retirement benefits
and service credit transfers under Texas Government Code, Title 8, Chapters 803 and 805,
respectively. The Texas State Legislature has the authority to establish and amend benefit
provisions of the pension plan and may, under certain circumstances, grant special authority to
the TRS Board of Trustees. TRS issues a publicly available financial report that includes
financial statements and required supplementary information for the defined benefit pension
plan. That report may be obtained by writing to the TRS Communications Department, 1000
Red River Street, Austin, Texas 78701, by calling the TRS Communications Department at
1-800-223-8778, or by downloading the report from the TRS Internet website,
www.trs.state.tx.us, under the TRS Publications heading.
Funding Policy. Contribution requirements are not actuarially determined, but are established
and amended by the Texas State Legislature. The state funding policy is as follows: (1) The
state constitution requires the legislature to establish a member contribution rate of not less
than 6.0% of the member’s annual compensation and a state contribution rate of not less than
6.0% and not more than 10% of the aggregate annual compensation of all members of the
system; (2) A state statute prohibits benefit improvements or contribution reductions if, as a
result of a particular action, the time required to amortize TRS’s unfunded actuarial
liabilities would be increased to a period that exceeds 31 years, or, if the amortization period
already exceeds 31 years, the period would be increased by such action State law provides

Note 13. Retiree Health Plan
Plan Description
The District contributes to the Texas Public School Retired Employees Group Insurance
Program (TRS-Care), a cost-sharing multiple-employer defined benefit postemployment health
care plan administered by the Teacher Retirement System of Texas.
TRS-Care Retired Plan provides health care coverage for certain persons (and their
dependents) who retired under the Teacher Retirement Systems of Texas. The statutory
authority for the program is Texas Insurance Code, Chapter 1575. Section 1575.052 grants
the TRS Board of Trustees the authority to establish and amend basic and optional group
insurance coverage for participants.
The TRS issues a publicly available financial report that includes financial statements and
required supplementary information for TRS-Care. That report may be obtained by visiting the
TRS website at www.trs.state.tx.us, by writing to the Communications Department of the
Teacher Retirement System of Texas at 1000 Red River Street, Austin, Texas, or by calling
1-800-223-8778.
Funding Policy
Contribution requirements are not actuarially determined but are legally established each
biennium by the Texas Legislature. Texas Insurance Code, Sections 1575.202, 203, and 204
establish state, active employee, and public school contributions, respectively. The State of
Texas and active public school employee contribution rates were 0.50% and 0.65% of public
school payroll, respectively, for fiscal year 2013, and 1.0% and 0.65% of public school payroll,
respectively, for fiscal years 2012 and 2011. The school district contributed a percentage of
payroll set at 0.55% for fiscal years 2013, 2012, and 2011. Per Texas Insurance Code,
Chapter 1575, the public school contribution may not be less than 0.25% or greater than 0.75%
of the salary of each active employee of the public school. For the years ended August 31,
2013, 2012 and 2011, the active member contributions were $248,504, $241,188, and
$239,458, respectively, and the school district’s contributions were $210,273, $204,082, and
$202,586, respectively, which equaled the required contributions each year. In addition, the
State of Texas contributed $101,064, $95,214, and $84,299 in 2013, 2012, and 2011,
respectively, for on-behalf payments for Medicare, Part D and $90,041 in 2012 under the
temporary Early Retiree Reinsurance Program (ERRP). As ERRP was a temporary program
that TRS participated in during fiscal year 2012, there was no funding received for fiscal year
2013 under this program. The District has recognized these payments as both revenues and
expenditures.

Summary of Significant Accounting Policies
Official Budget
The District is required by state law to adopt annual budgets for its General and Debt Service
Fund. Each budget is presented on the modified accrual basis of accounting, which is
consistent with generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP).
The following procedures are followed in establishing the budgetary data reflected in the
financial statements:
Prior to August 20 of the preceding fiscal year, the District prepares a budget for the next
succeeding fiscal year beginning September 1. The operating budget includes proposed
expenditures and the means of financing them.
A meeting of the Board of Trustees is then called for the purpose of adopting the proposed
budget after ten days public notice of the meeting has been given. Prior to September 1, the
Board of Trustees legally enacts the budget through passage of a resolution.
The approved budget is filed with the Texas Education Agency.
Once a budget is approved, it can be amended at the function and fund level only by approval
of a majority of the members of the Board of Trustees. Amendments are presented to the
Board at their regular meetings. Each amendment must have Board approval. Such
amendments are made before the fact, are reflected in the official minutes of the Board, and
are not made after fiscal year-end as dictated by law.

INDEPENDENT AUDITOR’S REPORT ON INTERNAL CONTROL OVER FINANCIAL
REPORTING AND ON COMPLIANCE AND OTHER MATTERS BASED ON
AN AUDIT OF FINANCIAL STATEMENTS PERFORMED
IN ACCORDANCE WITH GOVERNMENT AUDITING STANDARDS
Board of Trustees
Highland Park Independent School District
7015 Westchester Drive
Dallas, TX 75205
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-type activities, the discretely presented
component unit, each major fund, and the aggregate remaining fund information of Highland
Park Independent School District (the District), as of and for the year ended August 31, 2013,
and the related notes to the financial statements, which collectively comprise the District’s basic
financial statements, and have issued our report thereon dated January 15, 2014. Our report
includes a reference to other auditors who audited the financial statements of the Highland Park
I.S.D. Education Foundation as described in our report on the District’s financial statements.
The financial statements of the Highland Park I.S.D. Education Foundation were not audited in
accordance with Government Auditing Standards.
Internal Control over Financial Reporting
In planning and performing our audit of the financial statements, we considered the 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 the
District’s internal control.
A deficiency in internal control exists when the design or operation of a control does not allow
management or employees, in the normal course of performing 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 significant deficiency is a deficiency, or 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 identify all deficiencies in internal control that might be
material weaknesses or significant deficiencies. Given these limitations, during our audit we did
not identify 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 assurance about whether the District’s financial statements 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
Standards.
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
internal control and compliance. Accordingly, this communication is not suitable for any other
purpose.

Management is responsible for compliance with the requirements of laws, regulations,
contracts, and grants applicable to its federal programs.
Auditor’s Responsibility
Our responsibility is to express an opinion on compliance for each of the District’s major federal
programs based on our audit of the types of compliance requirements referred to above. We
conducted our audit of compliance in accordance with auditing standards generally accepted in
the United States of America; the standards applicable to financial audits contained in
Government Auditing Standards, issued by the Comptroller General of the United States; and
OMB Circular A-133, Audits of States, Local Governments, and Non-Profit Organizations. Those
standards and OMB Circular A-133 require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain
reasonable assurance about whether noncompliance with the types of compliance requirements
referred to above that could have a direct and material effect on a major federal program
occurred. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence about the District’s compliance
with those requirements and performing such other procedures as we considered necessary in
the circumstances.
We believe that our audit provides a reasonable basis for our opinion on compliance for each
major federal program. However, our audit does not provide a legal determination of the
District’s compliance.
Opinion on Each Major Federal Program
In our opinion, the District complied, in all material respects, with the types of compliance
requirements referred to above that could have a direct and material effect on each of its major
federal programs for the year ended August 31, 2013.

Report on Internal Control over Compliance
Management of the 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 the 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 the
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 weakness 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. We 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.
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 of OMB Circular A-133. Accordingly, this report is not suitable for any other
purpose.

1.
The District utilizes the fund types specified in the Texas Education Agency Financial
Accountability System Resource Guide.
Special Revenue Funds are used to account for resources restricted to, or committed
for, specific purposes by a grantor. Federal and state awards generally are accounted
for in a Special Revenue Fund. Generally, unused balances are returned to the grantor
at the close of specified grant periods.
2.
The accounting and financial reporting treatment applied to a fund is determined by its
measurement focus. The Governmental Fund types are accounted for using a current
financial resources measurement focus. All Federal grant funds were accounted for in a
Special Revenue Fund which is a Governmental Fund type. With this measurement
focus, only current assets and current liabilities and the fund balance are included on the
balance sheet. Operating statements of these funds present increases and decreases in
net current assets.
The modified accrual basis of accounting is used for the Governmental Fund types. This
basis of accounting recognizes revenues in the accounting period in which they become
susceptible to accrual, i.e., both measurable and available, and expenditures in the
accounting period in which the fund liability is incurred, if measurable, except for
unmatured interest on Long-Term Debt, which is recognized when due, and certain
compensated absences and claims and judgments, which are recognized when the
obligations are expected to be liquidated with expendable available financial resources.
Federal grant funds are considered to be earned to the extent of expenditures made
under the provisions of the grant, and, accordingly, when such funds are received, they
are recorded as deferred revenues until earned.
3.
The period of availability for federal grant funds for the purpose of liquidation of
outstanding obligations made on or before the ending date of the federal project period
extended 30 days beyond the federal project period ending date, in accordance with
provisions in Section H, Period of Availability of Federal Funds, Part 3, OMB Circular A133 Compliance Statement.
