To the Board of School Directors and the Citizens of the Dallastown Area School District:
We are pleased to present the Comprehensive Annual Financial Report (CAFR) for Dallastown Area
School District, York County, Pennsylvania (the “District”) for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2012. The
District Business Office prepared this report. Responsibility for both accuracy and presented data and the
completeness and fairness of the presentation, including all disclosures, rests with management of the
District. We believe that the data as presented is accurate in all material respects. It is presented in a
manner designed to fairly set forth the financial position and results of operations of the District as
measured by the financial activity of its various funds. All disclosures that are necessary to enable the
reader to gain a clear understanding of the District’s financial affairs have been included.
Boyer and Ritter, Certified Public Accountants and Consultants, have issued an unqualified opinion on
the Dallastown Area School District’s financial statements for the year ended June 30, 2012. The
independent auditors report is located at the front of the financial section of this report.
Generally accepted accounting principles 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 the MD&A and
should be read in conjunction with it. The Dallastown Area School District’s MD&A can be found
immediately following the report of the independent auditors.
The CAFR is organized into four sections: introductory, financial, statistical and the single audit. The
introductory section includes this transmittal letter, organization of the governing board and
administration, the consultants and advisors to the District, and the organization chart.
The financial section contains an opinion of the independent auditors, the MD&A, basic financial
statements, required supplementary information and individual fund schedules. The statistical section
presents selected financial and demographic data, generally over a ten year time span, if available, and
helps the readers to understand trends and changes in the major activities of the District and the single
audit section details the Federal awards received by the District and the outcome of the compliance audit
preformed in accordance with Circular A-133 issued by the U.S. Office of Management and Budget.
The organization, form and contents of this CAFR, the accompanying financial statements, and the
statistical tables were prepared in accordance with the standards established by the Governmental
Accounting Standards Board (GASB), the Government Finance Officers Association (GFOA), the
International Association of School Business Officials (ASBO), the American Institute of Certified Public
Accountants (AICPA) and the Public School Code of 1949, as amended, of the Commonwealth of
Pennsylvania.

Brief District History and a Profile of the Government
Dallastown, PA was named in honor of George M. Dallas who hailed from Philadelphia. He was the
Vice-President under the James K. Polk Administration from 1845-1849.
The Dallastown Area School District, incorporated in 1966, is located in York County, which is
considered south Central Pennsylvania. It currently occupies 52.5 square miles of the Susquehanna
Valley countryside with a population of approximately 40,000. The Dallastown Area School District is
located approximately 34 miles south of the state capital, Harrisburg, and approximately 50 miles from
Baltimore, Maryland, which makes the location a prime area for commuters. The District includes
Springfield Township, York Township and the Boroughs of Dallastown, Jacobus, Loganville and Yoe.
The first school building, a log structure, was built prior to 1834 on West Main Street. The doors of this
school were open only to children of wealthier classes due to the cost associated to attend the school
which was 12 cents per child.
A second building, a two story framed structure, was damaged by fire and replaced with a two-story brick
building. The two story brick building was then demolished to make room for a one story three roomed
school building in which the first class graduated from in 1898; there were eleven students in this class.
The Charles Street building, currently known as Dallastown Elementary, was opened in 1912, and
originally started out with four rooms. It started out as a fourth, fifth and sixth grade school but in the
school year 1913-1914, graduated to a high school building with Professor U.J. Daugherty serving as the
High School Principal until 1938. An attempt was made to increase coursework to meet state
requirements and in 1915, The State Department of Public Instruction, officially decreed that Dallastown
was classified as a first class high school. The traditional royal blue and white Dallastown colors date
back to this year, with blue a symbol of truth, loyalty, and courage, and white a symbol of purity.
During 1929-1930, additional classrooms, bathrooms and office space were added. The building was
enlarged again in 1941 to include additional classrooms and was deemed a Junior- Senior High School.
In 1945, additional land was purchased to add a playground to the building and a separate gymnasium and
cafeteria built were built in 1961.
York Township was built in 1949 with an addition added in 1953. This was prior to the incorporation of
Dallastown Area School District. Addition renovations were completed in 1993.
During the early 1950’s, the York County Plan reorganized the school districts, placing the school
districts of the boroughs of Dallastown, Loganville, and Yoe, as well as, Springfield and York Township
in one central administration area. In September 1952, the school boards of the districts agreed to adopt
Articles of Agreement as a basis for Joint Operation which took effect during the 1953-1954 school year
and included a High School and four elementary attendance areas which were located in Dallastown,
Loganville-Springfield, Yoe and York Township.
Loganville-Springfield was constructed in 1953, prior to the incorporation of Dallastown Area School
District. Subsequently, an addition was completed in 1971.
Effective with the 1958-1959 school year; the school districts of Loganville-Springfield and York
Township became the York Imperial Union School District. Accordingly, the Dallastown Area School
System, which operated all of the schools in the area, grades 1 to 12, was composed of three member
districts: Dallastown Borough, Yoe Borough and York Imperial Union.
Realizing an immediate need for a building for secondary school purposes, a site was selected and
construction of a 167,262 square foot building began. On September 1, 1958, the doors of the new
Dallastown Area Junior-High School opened. An enrollment of 1,158 pupils walked the hallways of the
secondary campus, grades 7 through 12. Renovations took place in 1975 and 2000 and this building is
currently known as the High School.
3
Due to increasing enrollment, in 1963 an additional wing for seventh and eight grade students was added
with renovations completed in 1969 and 2000. This building is currently known as the Middle School.
Secondary enrollment today totals 2,820 students, with 1,862 enrolled in the high school and 958 at the
Middle School.
Ore Valley Elementary started construction during 1961 and opened for the 1962-1963 school year.
Renovations took place during 1993.
During the 1965-1966 school year, Leaders Heights elementary was opened. During this momentous
year, the members of the Dallastown Borough, Yoe, and York Imperial school boards decided to become
one district and on July 1, 1966, became known as Dallastown Area School District.
The District has five elementary schools that educate students from kindergarten through third grade, one
intermediate school that educates students from fourth through sixth grade, one middle school which
educates children in seventh and eighth grade and one high school educating children in grades ninth
through twelfth.
The construction of the Intermediate School was completed during the summer of 2010 school opened for
the 2010-2011 school year which allowed the elementary schools that were over capacity to return to a
less than 100% student per square foot ratio.
The District is a second class district organized under state law. The District is governed by a nine
member Board of School Directors (the “Board”), whom are elected to four year terms. The
Superintendent is the chief administrative officer of the District with the overall responsibility for all
aspects of operation. The Business Manager is responsible for budget and financial operations.
The mission of the Board of School Directors and the staff of the Dallastown Area School District, in
partnership with family and community, is to provide a safe and appropriate student-centered learning
environment that will enable each student to become a successful, responsible, and contributing citizen of
this changing world.
The District provides a comprehensive education curriculum from kindergarten through grades twelve,
including regular instruction, special instruction, vocation educational, alternative educational and
necessary support services. Students are also encouraged to participate in school-sponsored extracurricular activities to include interscholastic athletics, clubs and organizations at both the elementary and
secondary levels.
Dallastown Area School District launched the Dallastown Area Cyber Academy for grades seventh
through twelfth. This program is a comprehensive curriculum delivered in an on-line format designed as
an alternative for families interested in another learning option for their students or for current cyber
charter students who reside in the Dallastown Area School District. Students who graduate from
Dallastown Area Cyber Academy receive a Dallastown Area Cyber Academy diploma and students
enrolled will have access to the district’s extracurricular activities and interscholastic athletic options.
Dallastown Are Cyber Academy educated 20 students during the 2011-2012 school year.
For the 2012-2013 school year, the Dallastown Area Cyber Academy increased the enrollment
possibilities by opening the program up to grades fourth through sixth.
4
The District also maintains the STRIVE program, which is an Alternative Education Program. The
STRIVE program provides a quality educational option for students in grades seventh through twelfth
whom the traditional school setting is not currently effective. This program assists students in developing
the necessary skills to successfully return to the regular school setting. 56 students participated in the
STRIVE program during the 2011-2012 school year.
District students in grades ninth through twelfth may attend the York County School of Technology
(YCST) which is a separate legal entity serving fourteen districts in York County through a joint venture
agreement. The District participants in the York County School of Technology Authority that was
formed to provide YCST with the ability to acquire land and construct facilities for the YCST programs.
The District also maintains a partnership with the York Adams Academy (YAA). The YAA mission is to
give eligible students the opportunity to obtain a high school diploma.7 students were educated by the
YAA during 2011-2012.
During 2011-2012, the District educated 6,029 children in eight buildings with 7 additional students being
educated at the York Adams Academy which is a less than a 1% decrease from 2010-2011.
The District staff, both part-time and full-time, include approximately: 401 teachers, 16 guidance
counselors, 6 librarians, 4 nurses, 172 support staff to include administrative and classroom aids, 25
Administrators, 65 custodians and maintenance staff, 1 crossing guards and 116 athletic, coaching, pool
and intramural personnel.
Economic conditions and local economy
Dallastown Area School District is located in York County, PA. According to the York County Economic
Development Corporation, it is currently the third fastest growing county in new home construction and
population.
York County is grounded in a diverse manufacturing based economy that remains steady despite drastic
national fluctuations, according to the York County Economic Development Corporation (YCEDC).
Some of these manufacturing firms include Starbucks, Johnson Controls, Harley-Davidson, and York
Barbell. York County ranks as the sixth most significant county in the state. On top of manufacturing,
the following industries are doing well in York County, to include, life sciences, technology and
information systems, logistics and transportation and agriculture and food processing.
Dallastown Area School District is listed as the 26th largest employer of York County according to
YCEDC.
Over the last ten years, York County has consistently been less than the state unemployment average. The
State average since 2001 is approximately 5.9% while York County’s is 5.4%.
York County did see a decrease of 9% in the unemployment rate from 2010 to 2011, which is indicative
of the recovering economy. The unemployment rate was 8.6% for 2010, the highest in over 10 years.
The Per Capita Personal Income for York County for 2010 was $36,427, a 3% increase over the 20009
Per Capital Personal Income of $35,490. The increase for York County was consistent with the states,
which saw an increase of 3% as well.
In response to the long-term financial impact that ACT 1 legislation placed on the District and the millage
rate cap (known as the index) that is has been placed on the District, the Board of School Directors along
with management, prudently decided to commit and assign funds in excess of the 8% rule for future
expenditures.
5
Part of the fund balance approval included usage of $1.045 million to assist in balancing the budget for
fiscal year ended 2013. This usage, along with service and supply cuts, allowed the District to keep the
milage rate the same for fiscal year ended 2013 as it was for fiscal year ended 2011 and 2012.
Refer to the MD&A for additional details regarding the General Fund classifications.
Due to implementation of GASB 54 - Fund Balance Reporting and Governmental Fund Type Definitions
during fiscal year ended 2011, fund balance classifications on the “Fund Balances of Governmental
Funds” schedule located in the Statistical Section were updated according to the principals applied during
the current fiscal year in order to present comparable data.
On behalf of the YCST, during 2010-2011, the Dallastown Area School District Board of School
Directors agreed to assist in obtaining funding for the replacement of the roof through issuing General
Obligation Bonds, Series B of 2010. District management felt it was their “fiduciary responsibility” to
assist in keeping the costs of construction down by obtaining a lower interest rate. The lower interest rate
was obtainable due to the “AA” rating issued to the district from Standards & Poor’s. The debt service
payments on these bonds will be paid by the member districts who utilize the services of the YCST.
Recent Legislation
The American Recovery and Reinvestment Act (ARRA) was signed into law by President Obama on
February 17, 2009.
The goal of the ARRA was to assist in boosting the economy by spending funds quickly to save and
create jobs and to raise student achievement through school improvement and reform while ensuring
transparency, reporting and accountability of the funds. This was done by investing the ARRA funds
thoughtfully with the understanding that this is a temporary influx of money that should not be used to
pay for operating expenses that cannot be included in the entity’s budget at a later date.
Dallastown’s total funding was $3.192 million, of which $1.884 thousand was State Fiscal Stabilization
Funds (SFSF) or Basic Education Funding (BEF), $249 thousand was additional Title I, and $1.059
million was additional IDEA.
The ARRA funds were utilized to increase instruction time with regards to full-day kindergarten, aided in
the reduction of debt service, assisted with payment of special education costs from Lincoln Intermediate
Unit #12, used to purchase technology, classroom supplies, equipment and infrastructure, as well as,
assisted in the cost of additional instruction from specialists.
For 2010-2011, Dallastown received $930 thousand State Fiscal Stabilization Funds (SFSF) or Basic
Education Funding (BEF) which was used in the reduction of debt service. The District also spent the
remaining IDEA funds during 2010-2011 and 2011-2012 not spend during 2009-2010 on IDEA academic
initiatives.
The Pension Reform Legislation Act of 2010-120 (the Act) was signed into law by the Governor on
November 23, 2010. The purpose of the Act was to assist in reducing the funding issue that PSERS is
currently facing which in turn will help keep the employer contribution rate from increasing to
unmanageable levels. The Act included setting employer contribution rate caps, changing the actuarial
funding methodology and the implementation of additional benefit classes for new members with reduced
benefits. The Act took effect July 1, 2011.
6
Act 32 was signed into law by the Governor on July 2, 2008. This Act greatly changes the Local Tax
Enabling Act by restructuring of earned income tax agencies into county-wide tax collection districts,
creation of tax collection committees and requirement of uniform policies, procedures and forms.
This Act will reduce the number of collectors in Pennsylvania from 560 to no more than 69. It is
anticipated that the new regulations and standards will increase tax revenues for all municipalities and
school districts. For fiscal year 2011-2012, Dallastown received increased tax revenues of $721 thousand
above what was expected due to the implementation of Act 32. It is expected that the District will have
additional EIT revenues of approximately $300 thousand for fiscal year 2012-2013 as well.
Implementation deadlines started effective September 15, 2009, with full implementation of Act 32 on
January 1, 2012.
Major Initiatives
During 2011-2012, the District put into practice the Cognitive Abilities® Test. It measures both general
and specific cognitive abilities in verbal, quantitative, and non-verbal areas. Second graders participated
in this testing with the results being reported to the students’ parents.
During 2010-2011, Dallastown implemented full day kindergarten in all five of the elementary schools
and began the implementation of the Keystone Exams.
Implementation of the Keystone Exams will continue being phased in until 2016-2017.
For 2012-2013, the Algebra I, Literature, and Biology Keystone exams will replace the 11 th grade PSSA
tests in math, reading, and science for the purposes of fulfilling No Child Left Behind (NCLB)/Adequate
Yearly Progress (AYP) requirement.
For years ended 2014 through 2016, students in grades 8th through 11th who are enrolled in specific
courses will take the Keystone exams with the score counting towards the graduation requirement.
For 2014-2015, Composition will be added as an exam for field test purposes only and for 2015-2016,
Civics and Government will be added as an exam for field test purposes only.
Beginning with the class of 2016-2017, students will need to demonstrate proficiency in two English
courses, two math courses, one science and one social studies course.
The Keystone Exams will be similar to the current final exams used and will be subject-specific
assessments that students take at the end of a course. Students will be able to retake the assessment all
together or in parts and students who do not test well can complete a project-based alternative assessment.
During the 2008-2009 school year the Strategic Plan for years 2008-2009 through 2013-2014, was
submitted and approved by PDE. The Strategic Plan includes statements of mission, vision, and beliefs
that were developed by input from many school-community members. The goals are crafted with the
desire that our students are equipped for a future in a complex world of changing societal, economic,
technological, and political trends and pressures. The Strategic Plan was updated in January 2011 to
include the changes necessary for inclusion of the Intermediate School.
7
Developing the District's Strategic Plan offers participants a unique opportunity to assess the attainment
of the current District goals, to collect data about the future needs, and then to craft the future. Dallastown
Area School District is proud of its past and is excited about its future. The District motto guides all
decisions: "Dedication to Excellence." Through the Strategic Plan development, we examine our past,
affirm our traditions, and prepare for the future. The District prides itself on hiring excellent professionals
and staff members, implements a rigorous curriculum supported by a state-of-the-art technology system,
exercise prudent fiscal management, and maintain excellent facilities, despite the challenges of growth.
The Dallastown Area School District faculty, staff, and administration have been focused on goals that
are relevant to increasing student achievement and providing relevant staff development, that are
grounded in data, and that are focused and measureable. Goals are focused on articulation, training, and
coordination of a K-12 curriculum and instructional program; developing and revising curriculum maps
for courses, areas, and grades; data management and analysis; attracting and retaining a highly qualified
teaching staff and administrators; integrating technology; developing a wellness policy and guidelines;
and, implementing state and federal grants for instructional enhancements.
Dallastown Area School District's goals are aligned with state goals for improvement. Under the No Child
Left Behind Act, certain goals are prescribed for school districts in the areas of student achievement and
proficiency, graduation rate, performance of total school populations and subgroups, attendance, and
participation in testing. The Pennsylvania System of State Assessment tests provide the framework for
assessing the Pennsylvania Academic Standards in each academic area.
The faculty, staff, and administration are focused on continuing to meet and exceed the state benchmarks
in reading, mathematics, writing, graduation rate, and attendance. DASD's student achievement has
shown improvement within subgroups and/or as a total population each year. To assist each student in
meeting these benchmarks, interventions, resource teachers, and supplemental approaches are in use.
Student achievement and performance data are analyzed and used to determine revisions to the
instructional program. These data are examined at team meetings, faculty meetings, grade level
discussions, and at professional development days. Tools utilized to examine data are contained within
programs such as Study Island, Acellus, Plato, and others; are secured from PDE (such as PVAAS and
eMetric); and, district developed data charts. Cognitive Abilities® Test and the Measures of Academic
ProgressTM tests have been added to the elementary program in second grade to assist with district
benchmark assessments. These tests have replaced the Terra Nova InView tests that were previously
used.
Students who are not meeting the standards or who are achieving below grade level receive specifically
designed interventions and resources. At the middle and high school levels, interventions may also
include participation in courses designed to accomplish increasing students' understanding of and
proficiency with the state standards. Special education resources are available to those who meet
eligibility requirements, as are English Language Learning, Reading Recovery, and other interventions as
appropriate.
The following are a list of goals as detailed in the Strategic Plan:
Curricular revisions to include educational technology enhancements, a phase-in of Full Day
Kindergarten programs, expanded World Language, science, and mathematics programs, revised
social studies curriculum, redesigning of the gifted education program, curriculum mapping and
teacher professional development.
Diversity Awareness initiatives’ through a Committee established in 2008. Committee members
intend to examine both quantitative and qualitative data from various district and community
sources in forming goals, strategies, and activities.
Graduate rate will meet an 80% threshold and/or show growth.
Implementation of DHS' Middle States Evaluation Goals.
8
One hundred (100%) of all students will be proficient in Mathematics, as measured by the annual
state-wide PSSA assessments.
One hundred percent (100%) of all students will be proficient in Reading, as measured by the
annual state-wide PSSA assessments
Restructuring K-8 Education.
Student attendance at the elementary schools, intermediate school and middle school will meet a
90% threshold and/or show growth.
At least 95% of eligible students will participate in required state-wide assessments.
Additional technology systems and structures to include administrative and management software
and support to enhance productivity, increased communications and access for the public and
parents, continuing to enhance stable and secure Wide Area Network and implementation of a
Virtual Private Network to enhance information access through Technology.
In connection with the Strategic Plan, there are initiatives at all grade levels that positivity effecting
student achievement. Funded through the state’s PA Pact/Accountability Block Grant, the full day
kindergarten program continues to provide assistance to a target population of students. With support
from the federal government’s Title I program, the elementary program includes a transitional first grade
classroom and Reading Recovery strategies are implemented for first graders needing assistance in
learning to read. Through district funding, middle and high school students receive additional intensive
remediation or intervention instruction to increase achievement levels for state standards. Remediation
takes the form of assistance through the Study Island software at Dallastown Middle School, the Plato
Learning Labs on the high school campus, and ongoing tutoring and special assistance provided by
teachers and teacher assistants at all grade levels.
The emphasis on increasing student achievement is not limited to any one grade level. Teachers at various
grade levels are piloting the use of many instructional approaches and methods to increase spelling
achievement (such as Word Study in the elementary and middle schools), reading comprehension (such as
Reading Apprenticeship in middle and high school classes), and math and reading skills (such as Study
Island at the middle school, and the Acellus Learning Program and the Compass Learning Lab supplemented by dual enrollment opportunities at local colleges and universities for approved students at
the high school level).
For the middle school’s Algebra Initiative, course sequences and content have been established, and the
program is ready for implementation. The goal of the Initiative is to increase the number of students
successfully completing Algebra I by the end of eighth grade, with a goal of 80% completion rate. As a
result, the high school is examining additional math courses to extend students’ academic programs with
higher level courses.
The District is pleased to report that Dallastown students performed above the Pennsylvania average on
all Pennsylvania System of School Assessment (PSSA) tests for 2011-2012. Below are the result
highlights:
85.2% of Dallastown students met or exceeded proficiency in Mathematics, compared to 75.6%
of Pennsylvania students.
PSSA results for Reading show that 84.7% of Dallastown students met or exceeded proficiency
compared to 72% of Pennsylvania students.
Writing PSSA results indicate that 85.5% of Dallastown students met or exceeded proficiency
compared to 75.5% of Pennsylvania students.
Dallastown students displayed 74.5% proficiency in the area of science as compared to 65.2% of
Pennsylvania students.

Internal control Structure
The objective of a system of internal controls is to provide reasonable, but not absolute, assurance that the
District’s assets are properly protected and to ensure that financial transactions, which are relied on in the
preparation of the financial reports, are accurately reported. The concept of reasonable assurance
recognizes that the cost of the system on internal controls should not exceed the benefits that are likely to
be derived. It also recognizes that the evaluation of these factors required management to make
reasonable estimates and judgments. The Board of School Directors and management have established
policies and procedures to effectively implement and maintain a system of internal accounting controls to
safeguard the District’s financial integrity. The Board of School Directors, management and the
independent auditors continually evaluate these policies and procedures to insure the adequacy and
effectiveness of the internal control structure.
Also, the Pennsylvania Department of the Auditor General examines the records of school districts,
intermediate units, and area vocational-technical schools. Auditors establish whether school districts
received the state subsidies and reimbursements to which they were entitled, and whether state laws and
regulations were followed. They also determine whether teachers and administrators are properly
certified for the positions they hold. In September 2012, the Auditor General concluded the audit for
years ended June 30, 2009 and June 30, 2010, however, results have not yet been released.
Budgetary Controls
The District budgets and expends funds following Pennsylvania Public School Code and according to
procedures mandated by the Pennsylvania Department of Education. The District General Fund budget
must be approved prior to the start of the fiscal year on a modified accrual basis of accounting. The
Board of School Directors is required to make this budget available for public inspection at least twenty
days prior to its adoption. The approved budget is required to be filed with the Pennsylvania Department
of Education within twenty days of approval.
The Board of School Directors may, during any fiscal year, make additional appropriations or increase
existing appropriations to meet emergencies. The Board of School Directors shall also have power to
authorize the transfer of any unspent budget balances from one budget line item to another, but such
action shall be taken only during the last nine months of the fiscal year.
The budgeting cycle starts each November, with the budgets worksheets being distributed to the
leadership team. Once the budgets are completed, the budgets are reviewed by the Superintendent and the
Business Manager. The budget data is compiled and presented for review by the Board of School
Directors and citizens at public meetings. Preliminary adoption takes place in February with final
adoption in May or June.
Once approved, the budget is managed through a decentralized accounting system which is monitored by
administrators throughout the year. The administrators have access to review the budgets they are
responsible for at any time with use of the accounting software.
In order to insure the budget is not overspent, a number of procedures were put in place. When a
requisition is entered into the system, it will alert the individual completing the requisition if the account
is over budget. Before a purchase order is signed, the administrator in charge of that budget is made
aware that the account is over budget. The administrator then instructs the Business Office which account
to transfer the funds from in order to avoid the account going into the red. The budgetary transfers are
then presented to Board of School Directors for approval.
10
Cash Management
The District’s main depository as of June 30, 2012 was Susquehanna Bancshares, Inc. Each year, the
Board of School Directors approves a list of depositories to investment with as cash flow allows. A cash
flow estimate is preformed monthly to determine the short-term and long-term financial needs of the
District. If the District is able to invest funds, the approved depositories are contacted by either the
Business Manager or the Director of Accounting Services for terms and yields. The data is then reviewed
and a financial institution is chosen based on the current collateral held, diversification of the funds, the
terms and the yield.
All real estate taxes are deposited into individual tax collector accounts at Susquehanna Bancshares and
then transferred into the District’s investment account to maximize returns on District funds. The District
only invests in authorized types of temporary investments for school entities as specified by the
Pennsylvania School Code. Please see Note 2 of the Basic Financial Statements for further detail
regarding the District’s cash and investments.

The premium for 2011-2012 is $35,291, which is a 16% increase over 2010-2011. The higher premium is
due to an increase in loss frequency.
The District’s Commercial Umbrella Liability Insurance coverage is written with Old Republic Insurance
Company. The function of this coverage is to provide additional liability coverage above the other
liability policies in place. This type of insurance also provides broader liability coverage subject to
certain retention levels and policy exclusions where no other insurance exists. This policy is excess over

The premium for 2011-2012 is $191,186, a 13% decrease over the 2010-2011 premium. The 13%
premium decrease is due primarily to the decrease in the experience mod. The experience mod decreased

financial statements is included in the financial section of this Comprehensive Annual Report.

INDEPENDENT AUDITOR'S REPORT
Board of School Directors
Dallastown Area School District
Dallastown, Pennsylvania
We have audited the accompanying financial statements of the governmental activities, the business-type
activities, each major fund, and the aggregate remaining fund information of the Dallastown Area School
District, as of and for the year ended June 30, 2012, which collectively comprise the Dallastown Area
School District’s basic financial statements as listed in the table of contents. These financial statements
are the responsibility of the Dallastown Area School District's management. Our responsibility is to
express opinions on these financial statements based on our audit.
We conducted our audit in accordance with auditing standards generally accepted in the United States of
America and the standards applicable to financial audits contained in Government Auditing Standards,
issued by the Comptroller General of the United States. Those standards require that we plan and perform
the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material
misstatement. An audit includes consideration of internal control over financial reporting as a basis for
designing audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing
an opinion on the Dallastown Area School District’s internal control over financial reporting.
Accordingly, we express no such opinion. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence
supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. An audit also includes assessing the
accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the
overall, financial statement presentation. We believe our audit provides a reasonable basis for our
opinions.
In our opinion, the financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the
respective financial position of the governmental activities, the business-type activities, each major fund,
and the aggregate remaining fund information of Dallastown Area School District, as of June 30, 2012,
and the respective changes in financial position and cash flows, where applicable, thereof and the
respective budgetary comparison for the General Fund for the year then ended in conformity with
accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.
In accordance with Government Auditing Standards, we have also issued our report dated November 26,
2012, on our consideration of Dallastown Area School District’s internal control over financial reporting
and 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 the internal control over financial reporting or on compliance. That report is an integral part
of an audit performed in accordance with Government Auditing Standards and should be considered in
assessing the results of our audit.
Accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America, require that the Management’s
Discussion and Analysis on pages 24 through 49 and the Required Supplementary Information on page 95
be presented to supplement the basic financial statements. Such information, although not a part of the
basic financial statements, is required by the Government Accounting Standards Board who considers it
to be an essential part of the 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 regarding the methods of preparing the
information and comparing the information for consistency with management’s response 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 and opinion or provide any
assurance.
Our audit was conducted for the purpose of forming opinions on the financial statements that collectively
comprise Dallastown Area School District’s basic financial statements. The Statement of Changes in
Assets and Liabilities - Fiduciary Fund - Student Activities Agency Fund, and the Schedules of Revenues
and Other Financing Sources - Budget to Actual, and Schedules of Expenditures and Other Financing
Uses - Budget to Actual of the General Fund, as listed in the table of contents as Supplementary
Information are presented for purposes of additional analysis and are not required parts of the basic
financial statements. The accompanying Schedule of Expenditures of Federal Awards is presented for
purposes of additional analysis as required by U.S. Office of Management and Budget Circular A-133,
Audits of States, Local Governments, and Non-Profit Organizations, and is not a required part of the basic
financial statements. Such information has been subjected to the auditing procedures applied in the audit
of the basic financial statements, and in our opinion, is fairly stated, in all material respects, in relation to
the basic financial statements taken as a whole.

DALLASTOWN AREA SCHOOL DISTRICT
MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS
JUNE 30, 2012
The Dallastown Area School District’s management discussion and analysis provides an overview of the District’s
financial performance for fiscal years ended on June 30, 2012 and June 30, 2011. The intent of the Management
Discussion and Analysis (MDA) is to look at the school district’s financial performance as a whole. Please read it
in conjunction with the District’s financial statements and notes to the financial statements, which immediately
follows this section.
The MDA is a component of the new reporting model specified in the Governmental Accounting Standards Board
(GASB) Statement No. 34 - Basic Financial Statements - and Management’s Discussion and Analysis - for State
and Local Governments issued in June 1999.
The Dallastown Area School District adopted GASB Statement No. 34 for fiscal year ended 2003.
The Dallastown Area School District also adopted GASB 54 - Fund Balance Reporting and Governmental Fund
Type Definitions for fiscal year ended 2011.
FINANCIAL HIGHLIGHTS
For fiscal year ended 2012, the Board of School Directors adopted a balanced General Fund budget with the
utilization of $2.544 million of fund balance. The millage rate remained the same for 2012 as it was for 2011,
which is 22.26. The actual results of operation showed that budgeted expenditures were approximately 2% less
than budget and that budgeted revenues were approximately 1% over budget.
At June 30, 2012, the Governmental Activities total net assets were $51.087 million of which $9.404 million were
unrestricted and available to meet the School District’s ongoing obligations to employees and creditors. This
amount indicates that the School District has a strong financial condition.
The Governmental Activities total net assets increased $1.253 million from $49.834 million in 2011 to $51.087
million in 2012. Refer to the section Financial Analysis of the District as a Whole for explanations regarding the
net asset increase.
At June 30, 2012, the total fund balance for the General Fund was $13.358 million. Of the $13.358 million,
$674 thousand was allocated as nonspendable due to it representing the amount of prepaids on the balance sheet.
The prepaids account is comprised of medical and dental health insurance premiums paid in advance.Total funds
in the amount of $4.342 million were committed as health insurance and PSERS reserves and $39 thousand was
committed for various high school projects. $1.045 million was assigned for 2012-2013 budget utilization to
assist in eliminating the need for a millage increase and $57 thousand was assigned for athletic fund activities.
The remaining $7.201 million is unassigned and represents 8% of the General Fund budget for the year ended
2013.

MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS
JUNE 30, 2012
USING THE ANNUAL FINANCIAL REPORT
This annual report consists of three parts - management’s discussion and analysis, the basic financial statements,
and the required supplementary information. The basic financial statements include two kinds of statements that
present different perspectives of the District:
The first two basic financial statements are government-wide financial statements that provide both short-term and
long-term information about the District’s overall financial status.
The remaining basic financial statements are fund financial statements that focus on individual parts of the
District, reporting the District’s operations in more detail than the government-wide statements. The governmental
statements tell how general School District services were financed in the short-term as well as what remains for
future spending. Property fund statements offer short-term and long-term financial information about the
activities that the School District operates like a business. For Dallastown, this is the Food Service Fund.
Fiduciary fund statements provide information about financial relationships where the School District acts solely
as the trustee or agent for the benefit of others such as the Middle School and High School Student Activity Funds.
The financial statements also include notes that explain certain data in the statements and provide more
comprehensive information.
Figure A-1 shows how the required parts of the Financial Section are arranged and relate to one and other:

DALLASTOWN AREA SCHOOL DISTRICT
MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS
JUNE 30, 2012
OVERVIEW OF THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
Government-Wide Statements
The Government-wide statements report information about the District as a whole using accounting methods
similar to those used by private sector companies. The Statement of Net Assets includes all of the District’s net
assets and how they have changed. Net assets are the difference between the District’s assets and liabilities and
are considered one way to measure the District’s financial health. The Statement of Activities accounts for all of
the current year’s revenues and expenses, regardless of whether the cash is received or paid.
Over time, increases or decrease in the District’s net assets is an indicator of whether its financial position is
improving or deteriorating, respectively.
To assess the overall financial condition of the District’s additional non-financial factors, such as changes in
the District’s property tax base and condition of school buildings and other facilities, should be considered.
In the government-wide financial statements, the District’s activities are divided into two categories:
Governmental activities: Most of the District’s basic services are included here such as regular, special and
adult education, transportation, administration, and community services. Property taxes and state subsidies
finance most of the activities that occur in the General Fund.
Business-type activities: The District charges fees to help it cover the costs of the District’s food service
program.

DALLASTOWN AREA SCHOOL DISTRICT
MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS
JUNE 30, 2012
Fund Financial Statements
The fund financial statements provide more detailed information about the District’s funds, not the District as a
whole. Funds are accounting devices the District uses to keep track of specific sources of funding and spending
on particular programs.
Some funds are required by State law and by bond covenants. The District established other funds to control and
manage money for particular purposes (like repaying its long-term debts) or to show that it is properly using
certain revenues (like Federal grants).
The District has three types of funds:
Government funds: Most of the District’s basic services are included in governmental funds, which generally
focus on (1) how cash and other financial assets can be readily converted to cash flow in and out; (2) the
balances left at year-end are available for spending. Consequently, the governmental funds statements provide
a detailed short-term view that helps the reader determine whether there are more or fewer financial resources
that can be spent in the near future to finance the District’s programs. Because this information does not
encompass the additional long-term focus of the government-wide statements, we provide additional
information at the bottom of the governmental funds statements that explain the relationship (or difference)
between them.
Proprietary funds: These funds are used to account for District activities that are similar to business operations
in the private sector. When the District charges fees for services provided to customers, the services are usually
reported as proprietary funds. The Food Service Fund is the District’s proprietary fund and is the same as the
business-type activities reported in the government-wide statements, but provide more detail and additional
information, such as cash flows.
Fiduciary funds: The District is the trustee, or fiduciary, for assets that belong to others, such as the student
activities agency funds. The District is responsible for ensuring that those to whom the assets belong use them
only for their intended purpose. The District excludes these activities from the government-wide financial
statements because they cannot use these assets to finance its operations.

During fiscal year ended 2012, total assets decreased 4% over fiscal year ended 2011. Within the asset categories,
the current and other assets decreased 6% or $1.434 million while noncurrent assets decreased 3% or $4.406
million. The majority of the change in the current and other assets is reflected in a 4% decrease in cash and
investments due to timing of invoice payments and a 39% decrease in receivables from other governments. The
39% decrease in receivables can be attributed to better timing of EIT (Earned Income Tax) payments and the
expiration of ARRA funding.
The decrease in noncurrent assets is primarily due a reduction of the value of the fixed assets. During fiscal year
ended 2012, approximately $1.573 million in technology assets and $91 thousand in food service assets were
removed from inventory due to obsolesce. This, coupled with adding $5.318 million in depreciation expense but
only adding $1.441 million additional in fixed assets lead to the overall decrease.
The three largest current assets are cash and investments representing 13% of the total assets, property taxes
receivable which is 1% and state subsidy receivable which is slightly less than 1%.
Capital assets, which consist of the district’s land, buildings, building improvements, furniture and equipment, and
construction in progress, represent 84% and 83% of the total assets in fiscal years ended 2012 and 2011,
respectively.
On the other side of the balance sheet, liabilities decreased 7% over fiscal year ended 2011.
The current and other liabilities category and the noncurrent liabilities decreased approximately 6% and 9%,
respectively.
29
DALLASTOWN AREA SCHOOL DISTRICT
MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS
JUNE 30, 2012
The decrease in current liabilities is due to debt service principal payments made on the general obligation bonds
and notes, as well as, a 25% decrease in accounts payable and a 22% decrease in accrued salaries and benefits.
The decrease in accrued salaries can be attributed to fewer accruals because of staff furloughs and a reduction of
staff hours. It can also be credited to a drop in the number of days accrued for support staff due to timing of
payroll. The majority of the decrease in accounts payable is due to the completion of Capital Reserve Fund
projects that were started during fiscal year ended 2011 and completed in 2012 which led the Capital Reserve
Fund having very few vendor accruals and the end of fiscal year 2012. There was also a decrease of
approximately 22% in General Fund vendor accruals which is strictly due to timing of invoices.
The noncurrent liability decrease is predominantly due to principal payments made on general obligation bonds
and notes. Refer to Footnote 8 for details regarding the principal payments made on the bonds and notes during
fiscal year ended 2012.
The results of this year’s operation as a whole are reported in the Statement of Activities. All expenses are
reported in the first column. Specific charges, grants, revenues and subsidies that directly relate to specific
expense categories are represented to determine the final amount of the School District’s activities that are
supported by other general revenues. The two largest general revenues are the local taxes assessed to community
taxpayers and the basic education subsidy provided by the State of Pennsylvania.

DALLASTOWN AREA SCHOOL DISTRICT
MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS
JUNE 30, 2012
The majority of the $2.510 million or 3% decrease in governmental revenues from fiscal year ended 2011 to fiscal
year ended 2012 was due to a 20% decrease or $2.560 million in operating grants and contribution and the loss of
the $1 million in capital grants and contributions offset by a 14% increase or $1.162 million in unrestricted grants
and subsidies.
The $2.510 million or 3% decrease was primarily driven by following:
Removal of the reimbursement to school districts for charter school costs, which represents a loss of $191
thousand
$1.002 million is due to the expiration of the American Reinvestment and Recovery Act (ARRA) funding
Receipt of a one-time payment during fiscal year ended 2011 of $213 thousand from Lincoln Intermediate
Unit (LIU) 12 for ACCESS transportation due to the dissolution of the transportation fleet maintained by
the LIU
Reduction of $283 thousand in funding for the PA Accountability Block (PA Pact) Grant
 Reduction of rental and sinking fund payments of $873 thousand. During fiscal year ended 2011, the
District received PDE approval and payment for the 2006 and 2010 bonds, which netted a significant
“catch-up”. During fiscal year ended 2012, the District received PDE approval and payment for only the
2011A bonds and the YCST bonds.
The majority of the $1.041 million or 1% decrease in governmental expenses from fiscal years ended 2011 to
2012 can be attributed to a decrease of $477 thousand in instruction, $203 thousand in instructional student
support, $850 thousand in administration and financial services and $203 thousand in operation and maintenance
of plant services offset by an increase of $687 thousand in interest on long-term debt category.
Figure A-5 below presents the expenses of both the Governmental Activities and the Business-type Activities of
the District. Figure A-5 shows the District’s eight largest functions - instruction, instructional student support,
administrative and financial support, operation and maintenance of plant, pupil transportation, student activities,
community services and interest on long-term debt as well as each program’s net cost (total cost less revenues
generated by the activities). This table also shows the net costs offset by the other unrestricted grants, subsidies
and contributions to show the remaining financial needs supported by local taxes and other miscellaneous
revenues.

Revenues of the District’s business-type activities (food and nutrition services) were comprised of charges for
services, federal and state reimbursements and investment earnings.
Business-type revenues exceeded expenses by $11 thousand in fiscal year ended 2012 and for 2011 business-type
expenses exceeded revenues by $83 thousand. Fiscal year end 2012 is the first time in five years that the Food
Service Fund has shown a profit. During fiscal year ended 2012, operating expenses decreased $428 thousand or
13% over 2011 and revenues decreased $334 thousand or 11% over 2011. The student lunch prices increased 5
cents and the adult lunch prices increased 30 cents for fiscal year ended 2012 with no increase in the cost of school
breakfast prices.
The drop in revenue is primarily due to a $193 thousand or 18% decrease in National School Lunch Program
(NSLP) sales and an $86 thousand or 11% decrease in a la carte sales. The Food Service Fund also saw a drop of
federal and state revenue from the NSLP and NSBP of $43 thousand and a drop in revenue from social security
and retirement reimbursement of $70 thousand. The reduction in social security and retirement reimbursement is
due to no longer having food service employees. Fiscal year ended 2012 is the first year the District choose to
outsource the operations of the Food Service Program.
The reductions in revenue were offset by a General Fund transfer of $163 thousand which funded the
unemployment compensation expenses. Unemployment costs were incurred during fiscal year ended 2012 due to
outsourcing the food service operations.
Revenue for charges for services was $1.663 million and $1.999 million in fiscal years ended 2012 and 2011,
respectively. This revenue is the amount paid by students and district personnel for daily food service, including
breakfast, lunch, beverages, a la carte purchases and catering services. Charges represent 60% and 65% of total
revenue, respectively.
Federal reimbursement for meals, including payment for free and reduced lunches, was $751 thousand and $777
thousand for the fiscal years ended 2012 and 2011, respectively. State reimbursement for meals, including
payment for free and reduced lunches, was $99 thousand and $117 thousand. Federal and state reimbursement for
meals decreased 5% over fiscal year 2011.

DALLASTOWN AREA SCHOOL DISTRICT
MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS
JUNE 30, 2012
During fiscal year ended 2012, the District served 620,376 (National School Lunch Program) NSLP meals, which
is a 15% decrease over the 727,663 NSLP meals served during fiscal year ended 2011. Of the meals served in
2012, 24% were free meals, 7% were at reduced prices and 69% were paid at full price.
The District also served 129,901 National School Breakfast Program (NSBP) meals, which is a 6% decrease from
the 138,038 NSBP meals served during 2011. Of the meals served in 2012, 49% were free meals, 9% were at
reduced prices and 42% were paid at full price.
FINANCIAL ANALYSIS OF THE DISTRICT’S FUNDS
Governmental Funds
The focus of the District’s governmental funds is to provide information on relatively short-term cash flow and
future basic services. Such information is useful in assessing the Dallastown Area School District financing
requirements. In particular, fund balance may serve as a useful measure of a government’s net resources available
for spending at the end of the year.
As of June 30, 2012, the District’s governmental funds reported a combined fund balance of $16.025 million,
which is an increase of $168 thousand over fiscal year ended 2011. Refer to Figure A-7 for a breakdown of
governmental fund balances and the total change from fiscal year ended 2011 to 2012.
The majority of the overall total fund balance increase lies in the increases of the committed and restricted
categories offset by the large decrease in assigned.

The General Fund is the main operating fund of the Dallastown Area School District. For fiscal year ended 2011,
the fund balance of the General Fund was $13.358 million as compared to $13.350 million for fiscal year ended
2011, an increase of $7 thousand or less than 1%.
34
DALLASTOWN AREA SCHOOL DISTRICT
MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS
JUNE 30, 2012
The General Fund balance of $13.358 million is comprised of $674 thousand in nonspendable funds, $4.381
million in committed, $1.102 million in assigned and $7.201 million in unassigned. For planning purposes, the
Board set aside part of the district’s fund balance for future uses. During fiscal year ended 2012, the Board of
School Directors committed $1 million for health insurance reserves, $3.342 million to assist with the expected
future PSERS rate increase and $39 thousand for various High School projects. The Board of School Directors
also assigned $1.045 million to be utilized to balance the budget for fiscal year ended 2013.
Overall revenues in the General Fund were $86.671 million and $88.444 million in fiscal years ended 2012 and
2011. Revenues decreased $1.773 million or 2% over last year. Refer to Figure A-8 below for distribution of

The majority of the 2% fall in revenues from fiscal year ended 2011 to 2012 can be credited to the following:
Local revenues:

$570 thousand or 1% growth in regular real estate tax revenue which is primarily due to an increase in
property assessments. The increase in regular real estate tax revenue was offset by a decrease of $295
thousand or 52% in interim real estate taxes.

Decrease of $350 thousand in unallocated Earned Income Tax (EIT) collections due to the implementation
of Act 32 offset by an increase of $67 thousand in regular EIT collections. The implementation led to
better tracking mechanisms for the tax bureau which has allowed the funds to be allocated monthly to the
applicable organization.

Decrease of $213 thousand in federal IDEA pass-through revenue due to a one-time payment from
Lincoln Intermediate Unit (LIU) 12 for ACCESS transportation that was received during fiscal year ended
2011.
35
DALLASTOWN AREA SCHOOL DISTRICT
MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS
JUNE 30, 2012
State revenues:

An increase of $1.162 million in basic education subsidy. During fiscal year ended 2011, there was
redistribution of Basic Education dollars to ARRA federal funding for SFSF and Education Jobs which
did not take place during fiscal year ended 2012.

An increase of $493 thousand in state share of retirement contributions which is due to the 53% increase
in the rate. The rates for fiscal years ended 2012 and 2011 were 8.65% and 5.64%, respectively. The
additional reimbursement received from the 53% PSERS rate increase was offset slightly by the staff
reductions that were effective with fiscal year ended 2012.

A decrease of $873 thousand in rental and sinking fund payments. During fiscal year ended 2011, the
District received PDE approval and payment for the 2006 and 2010 bonds, which netted a significant
“catch-up”. During fiscal year ended 2012, the District received PDE approval and payment for only the
2011A bonds and the YCST bonds.

A decrease of $283 thousand in the PA Accountability Block Grant funding.
Federal revenues:

Fiscal year ended 2011 was the last year for ARRA federal funds which caused a decrease of $1.002
million. The decrease in ARRA funding included Title I and State Fiscal Stabilization Funding. This
coupled with the decrease of $543 thousand in Education Jobs Funding is the predominate reason there
was a 74% decrease in federal revenues.
Other financing sources:

A decrease of $352 thousand in the Extended Term Financing Proceeds category because no equipment
was purchased during fiscal year ended 2012 through capital leases.

GENERAL FUND BUDGETARY HIGHLIGHTS
The Dallastown Area School District’s fiscal year ended 2012 original budget anticipated that expenses would
equal revenues, with a $2.544 million dollar utilization of fund balance. The actual results for the year were that
revenues were over budget by $909 thousand and expenses were less than budget by $1.642 million for a total use
of fund balance of $7 thousand.

In fiscal year ended 2012, total actual to budgeted revenues were $909 thousand more than expected primarily due
to the following:
Local revenues:

$721 thousand more in EIT taxes. The implementation of Act 32 has led to better tracking mechanisms
for the tax bureau which has increased EIT revenues.

$379 thousand more in IDEA funding, predominately due to the remaining ARRA IDEA funds that were
received in the beginning of fiscal year ended 2012, as well as, a “true-up” entry for the services provided
by the LIU that is deducted from the pass through monies. There is an offsetting expense incurred for
these services creating a zero effect budget entry.

$354 thousand less in delinquent real estate tax collections. Over the last four yours (fiscal years ended
2008 through 2011) the average delinquent tax collection was approximately $1.790 million. The revenue
received during fiscal year ended 2012 has not been this low since fiscal year ended 2007.
State revenues:

$341 thousand more in basic education subsidy funding due to timing of budget adoption for the District
as compared to the final funding amount approved by the Governor.

$183 thousand for the PA Accountability Block Grant funding that was cut from the Governor’s budget at
the time the District’s budget was adopted but ultimately was funded.

An additional $166 thousand in rental and sinking fund payments due to unanticipated YCST debt
payment reimbursements.

$113 thousand more in tuition reimbursement for Section 1305 and 1306 children due to an increased
number of children who were orphaned or court placed into private residences.

During fiscal year ended 2012, the District started the implementation process of applying for Access
reimbursement and hopes to have it completed by the end of fiscal year ended 2014. This resulted in a difference
of $200 thousand in federal revenues budget to actual.
During fiscal year ended 2012, the District did not receive the note premium through the General Fund on the
2012 refinanced bonds. The money was set aside in the bond sinking fund to be used to make debt payments until
the cash is gone. This resulted in a difference of $395 thousand in revenues from budget to actual in other
financing sources. On the expenditure side, there is an equal savings for debt payments that were paid out of the
bond sinking fund which netted the loss of revenue to zero.

The actual expenses were $1.642 million less than budgeted in fiscal year ended 2012 due to the following:

Purchased professional and technical services were $487 thousand less than budget primarily due to a
savings of $430 thousand in alternative education LIU costs. During fiscal year ended 2012 the District
was able to provide in-house alternative education to children who were educated by the LIU in previous
years.

Within the purchased property services budget category the District saved $151 thousand in electricity
costs due to the underutilization of expected usage at the Intermediate School.
44
DALLASTOWN AREA SCHOOL DISTRICT
MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS
JUNE 30, 2012

Other purchased services were $644 thousand more than budgeted due to:
o
$261 thousand additional spent on transportation costs due to unanticipated costs for activity runs,
non-public runs and alternative education mid-day runs.
o
$146 thousand additional spent on transportation provided the LIU. Over the last two fiscal years
the District has seen significant increases in the cost of transportation provided by the LIU due to
an increased number of students being transported and an increased number of days that children
are being transported, coupled with an increase in the District’s pro-ration share of the cost of the
LIU transportation program.
o
$334 thousand more spent on charter school students. When budgeting for fiscal year ended
2012, there were approximately 70 charter and cyber school students, however, during the year
the District saw enrollment reach 90, lending to the $334 thousand additional spent on those
students.
o
Savings of $213 thousand for students placed in private residential rehabilitation facilities and
detention centers. For fiscal year ended 2012, it was expected that there would be approximately
20 students placed at River Rock Academy but there ended up being half that, creating a savings
of about $183 thousand. The District was able to transition the students into the Alternative
Education Program on site.

Supplies expense was $421 thousand less budgeted largely due to the significant savings of $436 thousand
in energy costs. The energy cost savings were due to the unseasonably warm and mild winter, along with
the Intermediate School usage being notability less than anticipated.

Savings of $1.352 million in bond interest costs. The bond interest rates on the General Obligation Bonds,
Series 2010A, Series 2011A and Series 2011AA, were 1% - 2%, respectively. The lower interest rates
along with $409 thousand of debt payments being paid out the bond sinking fund netted the substantial
savings (reflected in the Other Objects category).

Reclassing of the $200 thousand budgetary reserve to ensure that the adjusted final budget to actual is
positive by major function, major object.

The overage in the Other Use of Funds category is primarily due to a Board approved Capital Reserve
Fund transfer of $617 thousand and a Food Service Fund transfer of $163 thousand. The Food Service
Fund transfer was to cover the cost of the unemployment benefits.

ECONOMIC FACTORS AND NEXT YEAR’S BUDGET AND RATES
2012-2013 Budget
The General Fund revenue budget for fiscal year ended 2013 is $88.969 million which is $3.207 million or 4%
more than the fiscal year ended 2012 budget of $85.762 million.
The three largest revenue source increases are current real estate taxes and social security and retirement
reimbursement subsidies, capturing 70% of the total expected increase.
The general fund expenditure budget for fiscal year ended 2013 is $90.014 million which is $1.708 million or 2%
more than the fiscal year ended 2012 budget of $88.306 million. In order to subsidize the budget so that revenues
equaled expenditures $1.045 million of fund balance is to be utilized.
The following highlights the largest categories where increases and decreases are expected:

Benefits - $1.987 million or 13% more than budgeted for fiscal year ended 2012. Retirement expense
captures the largest piece of the benefit increase with $1.678 million or 43%. The significant increase is
due to the PSERS rate increase from 8.65% to 12.36%.

Other Objects - $577 thousand less than budgeted for fiscal year ended 2012 which is predominantly due
to a decrease in interest expense of $604 thousand

Other Use of Funds - $915 thousand more than budgeted for fiscal year ended 2012 due to an increase in
debt service principal payments
Act 1
Fiscal year ended 2008 was the first year that Session Act I of 2006, known as the Taxpayer Relief Act, was in
place. The law stated that school districts may not increase the real estate tax rate above the adjusted index
percentage as determined by the state. The adjusted index for Dallastown for fiscal years ended 2007, 2008, 2009,
2010, 2011, 2012, 2013 and 2014 are 4.5%, 3.9%, 5.2%, 4.8%, 3.4%, 1.6%, 2.0% and 2.1%, respectively.
School Districts that wish to increase millage beyond the index to maintain or improve existing programs must
either apply for exceptions from the Department of Education or receive voter approval for an increase via a tax
increase referendum question.
The law intends to cap the financial burden of home ownership by providing school districts the means to lower
property taxes to homeowners, especially senior citizens. The legislation is complex, setting rules for gaming
revenue allocations, requiring front-end voter referenda on tax shifting, mandating new school district budget
restrictions, and requiring back-end voter referenda on future real estate tax increases above the index.
The state is still anticipating gaming will generate $1 billion each year for local property tax relief. The intent of
Act 1 is that school districts will receive property tax reduction allocations when the gaming revenues reach $500
million and the Lottery Fund is repaid. Once the minimum level is obtained, allocations to school districts will be
State formula driven. The State will in rank order, assign each school district a numerical rank and assign a lax
reduction index in order to calculate the properly tax reduction allocation. The district is eligible to receive the
allocation unless its Board of School Directors, by resolution, rejects the allocation. If the school board rejects the
allocation, a referendum is submitted to the voters to determine whether they favor the school district receiving a
property tax reduction allocation.

There is referendum exceptions built into Act I should the district need to raise taxes beyond the adjusted index.
The exception categories provide partial relief for increase in the cost of special education, retirement and health
care expenses, emergencies and disasters and some school construction projects. It is anticipated that most school
districts will be requesting relief through some of the exceptions.
The Court of Common Pleas will make decisions on some referendum exceptions, but most will require approval
from the Department of Education. As a result, the budget timeline for all schools needing to go above the
adjusted index has been accelerated to provide the Department with a preliminary proposed budget by the
beginning of February each year along with the proposed exceptions so that the Department has time to act upon
the requested exception.
PSERS
The Pennsylvania School Employees Retirement System (PSERS) set the rate for fiscal year ended 2013 at
12.36%, a 43% increase over the 2012 rate of 8.65%. According to actuarial projections, the rate is expected to go
up to 16.73% and 21.25% in fiscal years ended 2014 and 2015.

RECONCILIATION OF THE GOVERNMENTAL FUNDS BALANCE SHEET
TO THE STATEMENT OF NET ASSETS
June 30, 2012
Total fund balances - governmental funds
$ 16,025,189
Amounts reported for governmental activities in the Statement of Net
Assets are different because:
Capital Assets used in governmental activities are not financial resources,
and therefore, are not reported as assets in governmental funds. The cost
of assets is $170,088,492 and the accumulated depreciation is $43,116,239.
126,972,253
Property taxes and earned income taxes receivable will be collected this
year, but are not available soon enough to pay for the current period's
expenditures, and therefore, are deferred revenues in the funds.
1,163,862
Governmental funds report bond-issuance costs as expenditures.
However, in the Statement of Activities, costs of the issuance are
allocated over the lives of related debt issues. This is the amount by
which bond issuance costs exceed accumulated amortization.
327,939
Long-term receivables are not available for current use and are
recorded in the Statement of Net Assets.
Long-term liabilities; including bonds payable, swap liability, compensated
absences, and other post-employment benefits; are not due and payable in
the current period, and therefore, are not reported as liabilities in the funds.
Long-term liabilities at year-end consist of:
Bonds payable, net of bond discount, premium, and
refunding loss
Pay-fixed, interest-rate swap liability
Lease-purchase obligations
Other post-employment benefit obligations
Compensated absences

RECONCILIATION OF THE GOVERNMENTAL FUNDS STATEMENT OF
REVENUES, EXPENDITURES AND CHANGES IN FUND BALANCES TO THE
STATEMENT OF ACTIVITIES
Year Ended June 30, 2012
Net changes in fund balances - governmental funds
$
168,180
Amounts reported for governmental activities in the Statement of
Activities are different because:
Capital outlays are reported in governmental funds as expenditures. However, in
the Statement of Activities, the costs of those assets is allocated over their useful
lives as depreciation expense. This amount is the amount by which the capital outlay
exceeds depreciation and dispositions in the period.
Capital outlays
Loss on sale of capital assets
Less depreciation expense
1,201,675
(348)
(5,272,737)
(4,071,410)
Because some property taxes will not be collected for several months after the
District's fiscal year ends, they are not considered as "available" revenues in the
governmental funds. Deferred tax revenue increased by this amount this year.
136,567
The repayment of notes receivable provides current resources, however, it does not
have any effect on the net assets.
(330,000)
Interest on long-term debt in the Statement of Activities differs from the amount
reported in the governmental funds because interest is recognized as an expenditure
in the funds when it is due, and thus requires the use of current financial resources
In the Statement of Activities, interest expense is recognized as the interest accrues,
regardless of when it is due. In addition, refunding losses, bond premiums,
discounts, and changes in swap liabilities are recognized as interest throughout the lives
of the related obligations. The additional interest accrued in the Statement of Activities
over the amount due is shown here.
871,407
Some expenses reported in the Statement of Activities do not require the use of current
financial resources, and therefore, are not reported as revenues in governmental funds.
73,550
The issuance of long-term debt 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 assets. Also, governmental funds report the effect of issuance costs,
premiums, discounts, and similar items when debt is first issued, whereas these
amounts are deferred and amortized in the Statement of Activities. This
amount is the net effect of these differences in the treatment of long-term
debt and related items.

Summary of Significant Accounting Policies
Dallastown Area School District (the District) was formed in 1966 under the provisions of P.L. 564, the
School District Reorganization Act of 1963 of the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania. The District operates
a public-school system that encompasses six municipalities in York County. The governing body of the
District is a board of nine school directors who are each elected for a four-year term. The daily operation
and management of the District is carried out by the administrative staff of the District, headed by the
Superintendent of Schools who is appointed by the Board of School Directors. Funding for the District is
received from local, Commonwealth, and Federal sources and must comply with the requirements of the
various funding-source agencies.
The District assesses the taxpayers of these municipalities based upon taxing powers at its disposal. The
ability of the School District’s taxpayers to pay their assessments is dependent upon economic and other
factors affecting the taxpayers.
The financial statements of the District have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles
generally accepted in the United States of America (GAAP) as applied to governmental units. The
Governmental Accounting Standards Board (GASB) is the authoritative, standard-setting body for the
establishment of governmental accounting and financial-reporting principles. The more significant of
these accounting policies are as follows:
A. Reporting Entity
In evaluating the District as a reporting entity, management has addressed all potential component units
which may or may not fall within the District’s financial accountability. The criteria used to evaluate
component units for possible inclusion as part of the District’s reporting entity are financial accountability
and the nature and significance of the relationship. This report presents the activities of the District. The
District is not a component unit of another reporting entity, nor does it have any component units. The
District does, however, participate in jointly-governed organizations which are described in Note 9.

Summary of Significant Accounting Policies (Continued)
B. Government-wide and Fund Financial Statements
The government-wide financial statements (i.e., the Statement of Net Assets and the Statement of
Activities) report information on all of the non-fiduciary activities of the primary government. The
significant effect of interfund activity has been removed from these statements. Governmental activities,
which normally are supported by taxes and intergovernmental revenues, are reported separately from
business-type activities, which rely to a significant extent on fees and charges for support.
The Statement of Activities demonstrates the degree to which the direct expenses of a given function, or
segment, are offset by program revenues. Direct expenses are those that are clearly identifiable with a
specific function or segment. Program revenues include 1) charges to customers or applicants who
purchase, use, or directly benefit from goods, services or privileges provided by a given function or
segment and 2) grants and contributions that are restricted to meeting the operational or capital
requirements of a particular function or segment. Taxes and other items not properly included among
program revenue are reported instead as general revenues.
Separate fund financial statements are provided in the report for all of the governmental, proprietary, and
the fiduciary funds of the District, even though the latter are excluded from the government-wide
financial statements. Major individual governmental funds and the major proprietary fund are reported as
separate columns in the fund financial statements. Non-major funds are also presented in a single
column. Fiduciary funds are reported by fund type.
C. Measurement Focus, Basis of Accounting and Financial Statement Presentation
The District complies with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America
(GAAP) and applies all relevant GASB pronouncements. Private-sector standards of accounting and
financial reporting issued prior to December 1, 1989, generally are followed in both the government-wide
and proprietary fund financial statements to the extent that those standards do not conflict with or
contradict guidance of the GASB. Governments also have the option of following subsequent privatesector guidance for their business-type activities and proprietary funds, subject to this same limitation.
The District has elected not to follow subsequent private-sector guidance.
The government-wide financial statements are reported using the economic-resources measurement focus
and the accrual basis of accounting, as is the proprietary fund financial statements. Revenues are
recorded when earned and expenses are recorded when a liability is incurred, regardless of the timing of
related cash flows. Property taxes are recognized as revenues in the year for which they are levied.
Grants and similar items are recognized as revenues as soon as all eligibility requirements imposed by the
provider have been met. Net assets (total assets less total liabilities) are used as a practical measure of
economic resources and the operating statement includes all transactions and events that increased or
decreased net assets. Depreciation is charged as expense against current operations, and accumulated
depreciation is reported in the Statement of Net Assets.

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
Note 1.
Summary of Significant Accounting Policies (Continued)
C. Measurement Focus, Basis of Accounting and Financial Statement Presentation (Continued)
Governmental fund financial statements are reported using the current financial-resources measurement
focus and the modified-accrual basis of accounting. Revenues are recognized as soon as they are both
measurable and available. Revenues are considered to be available when they are collectible within the
current period or soon enough thereafter to pay liabilities of the current period. For this purpose, the
government considers revenues to be available if they are collected within 60 days of the end of the
current fiscal period. Revenues from Federal, state and other grants designated for payment of specific
District expenditures are recognized when the related expenditures are incurred; accordingly, when such
funds are received, they are recorded as deferred revenues until earned. Expenditures generally are
recorded when a liability is incurred, as under accrual accounting. However, debt-service expenditures,
as well as expenditures related to compensated absences and claims and judgments, are recorded only
when payment is due.
When both restricted and unrestricted (including committed, assigned, and unassigned) resources are
available for use, it is the School District’s policy to generally use the resources with the most stringent
restrictions first, followed by resources in decreasing order of restriction, as funds are needed. However,
the District does use unassigned monies at times to pay for expenditures that may have been board
committed.
Governmental funds are those through which most governmental functions of the District are financed.
The acquisition, use, and balances of the District’s expendable financial resources and the related
liabilities (except those accounted for in proprietary funds) are accounted for through governmental funds.
The District reports the following major governmental funds:
General Fund - The General Fund is the District’s primary, operating fund. It accounts for all
financial resources except those required to be in another fund. Revenues are primarily derived
from local property, earned income, and per capita taxes, and state and Federal distributions.
Many of the more important activities for the District, including instruction, administration of the
District and certain non-instructional services are accounted for in this fund.
Capital Projects Fund - The Capital Projects Fund is used to account for and report financial
resources that are restricted, committed, or assigned to expenditure for the acquisition,
construction, or improvement of major capital facilities (other than those financed by proprietary
funds).
Proprietary Fund - The District operates one enterprise fund, the Food Service Fund. This fund
accounts for the activities of the District’s food-service program.

Summary of Significant Accounting Policies (Continued)
C. Measurement Focus, Basis of Accounting and Financial Statement Presentation (Continued)
Proprietary funds are used to account for activities that are similar to those often found in the private
sector. The measurement focus is upon determination of net income and capital maintenance. The
District operates one proprietary fund, the Food Service Fund. This fund accounts for the activities of the
District’s food-service program. Proprietary funds distinguish operating revenues and expenses from
non-operating items. Operating revenues and expenses generally result from providing services and
producing and delivering goods in connection with the proprietary fund’s principal, on-going operations.
The principal operating revenues of the District’s proprietary fund are food-service charges. Operating
expenses for the District’s proprietary fund include food-production costs, supplies, administrative costs,
and depreciation on capital assets. All revenues or expenses not meeting this definition are reported as
non-operating revenues and expenses. The District allocates certain building-related costs, such as
extermination and custodial fees, to the Food Service Fund.
The District maintains the following fiduciary fund type:
Agency Fund - Student Activities - The Student Activities Fund accounts for assets held by the
District as an agent for various student groups.
The Activity Fund accounts for the resources authorized by Section 511 of the Public School Code of
1949 for school publications and organizations. A portion of the Activity Fund is an agency fund which
is separate from other agency funds because of legal requirements. Agency funds are custodial in nature
(assets equal liabilities) and do not involve measurement focus of results of operations. Agency funds are
also accounted for using the accrual basis of accounting.
D. Budget and Budgetary Accounting
The School Board approves, prior to the beginning of each year, an annual budget on the modifiedaccrual basis for the General Fund. This is the only fund for which a budget is required and for which
taxes may be levied. The General Fund is the only fund that has an annual budget that has been legally
adopted by the School Board. The School Board does not legally adopt the Food Service Fund budget;
however, it is approved. The Public School Code allows the School Board to authorize budget-transfer
amendments during the last nine months of each fiscal year.
The School District may not legally exceed the revised budget amounts by function and object. Function
is defined as a program area such as instructional services, and object is defined as the nature of the
expenditure such as salaries or supplies. Amendments require School Board approval. All appropriations
lapse at the end of each fiscal year.

Summary of Significant Accounting Policies (Continued)
E. Assets, Liabilities and Net Assets or Equity
Cash and Cash Equivalents: For purposes of the Statement of Cash Flows presented for the proprietary
fund, the District considers all highly-liquid investments with maturities of three months or less when
purchased to be cash equivalents.
Investments: Investments are stated at fair value.
Inventories: Inventories in the proprietary fund are generally presented at the lower of cost or market on a
first-in, first-out basis, and are expensed when used. Inventories consist of certain government-donated
commodities which were valued at estimated fair market value, as well as purchased commodities and
supplies.
Prepaids: Certain payments to vendors reflect costs applicable to future accounting periods and are
recorded as prepaid items (consumption method) in both the government-wide and fund financial
statements.
Capital Assets and Depreciation: Capital assets; which include property, plant, and equipment, and
infrastructure assets; are reported in the applicable governmental or business-type activities column in the
government-wide financial statements. Capital assets are capitalized in accordance with board policy at
the discretion of management. Management considers various factors in the capitalization of assets,
including the assets’ estimated useful lives, costs, and the extents to which the assets are part of larger
capital projects. The established procedures state that individual assets with costs greater than $2,500 and
group assets costing greater than $10,000 are to be capitalized. Buildings and land improvements are
capitalized at a cost of $25,000 or greater and modular classrooms are capitalized at $10,000. The
donated capital assets are recorded at their estimated fair market values on the dates of donation.
The costs of normal maintenance and repairs that do not add to the values of the assets or materially
extend assets’ lives are not capitalized.
Depreciation is provided for capital assets on the straight-line basis over the following estimated useful
lives:

Summary of Significant Accounting Policies (Continued)
E. Assets, Liabilities and Net Assets or Equity (Continued)
Long-Term Obligations: In the government-wide financial statements, and proprietary-fund types in the
fund financial statements, long-term debt and other long-term obligations are reported as liabilities in the
applicable governmental or business-type activities columns in the Statement of Net Assets. Bond
premiums and discounts, as well as issuance costs, are deferred and amortized over the lives of the related
bonds. Bond-issuance costs are reported as deferred charges and amortized over the terms of related debt.
In the fund financial statements, governmental-fund types recognize bond premiums and discounts, as
well as bond-issuance costs, during the current period. The face amount of the debt issued is reported as
other financing sources. Issuance costs, whether or not withheld from the actual debt proceeds received,
are reported as debt-service expenditures.
Compensated Absences: The District provides for the accumulation and payout of sick pay upon the
retirement of employees who retire under the terms of the District’s collective-bargaining agreements.
Teachers, administrators, and support employees are eligible to receive a per diem amount for all
accumulated sick days.
Post-Employment Benefits: In the government-wide financial statements, the District recognizes the
costs and liabilities associated with post-employment benefits other than pension compensation, which is
funded through the District’s contribution to the statewide Public School Employees’ Retirement System,
a governmental, cost-sharing, multiple-employer defined-benefit pension plan. The District provides
retiree health, and dental-care benefits, including prescription-drug coverage, to eligible retired employees
and qualified spouses/beneficiaries. The District has estimated the cost of providing these benefits
through an actuarial valuation.
Derivative Financial Instruments: Derivatives instruments used by the District are swap contracts that
have a variable or fixed payment based on the price of an underlying interest rate or index. Hedging
derivative instruments is used to reduce financial risks, such as offsetting increases in interest costs by
offsetting changes in cash flows of the debt, the hedged item. These derivative instruments are evaluated
to determine if the derivative instruments are effective in significantly reducing the identified financial
risk at year end. If the derivative instrument is determined to be an effective hedge, its fair value is an
asset or liability with a corresponding debit or credit to deferred outflows or inflows on the Statement of
Net Assets. Deferred outflows or inflows constitute changes in fair value of effectively-hedged derivative
instruments. This account is neither an asset nor a liability. If the derivative instruments are determined
to be an ineffective or when there is no hedgeable item, the derivative instruments are considered to
investment derivatives; their fair values is are either assets or liabilities on the Statement of Net Assets
and the changes in their fair values are recognized against investment income in the Statement of
Activities.
Interfund Transfers: Advances between funds that are not expected to be repaid are accounted for as
transfers. In those cases when repayment is expected, the advances are accounted for through the various
due from and due to accounts. Transactions and balances between governmental activities have been
eliminated in the government-wide financial statements. Residual amounts due between governmental
and business-type activities are indicated on the Statement of Net Assets as internal balances.

Fund Balance
The School District’s fund balance classifications are defined and described as follows:
Nonspendable: Represents fund balance amounts that cannot be spent because they are not in a
spendable form or are contractually required to be maintained intact.
Restricted: Represents fund balance amounts that are constrained for a specific purpose through
restrictions of external parties, through constitutional provisions, or by enabling legislation.
Committed: Represents fund balance amounts that can only be used for specific purposes pursuant to
the constraints imposed by formal action of the Board of School Directors, the District’s highest level
of decision-making authority. The Board of School Directors is required to also take formal action to
modify or rescind the commitment.
Assigned: Represents fund balance amounts that are constrained by the government’s intent to be used
for a specific purpose but are neither restricted nor committed. Through Board Policy 620, the Board
has delegated the authority to express intent to the District’s Business Manager.
Unassigned: Represents fund balance amounts that have not been restricted, committed, or assigned to
specific purposes within the general fund. A negative unassigned fund balance may be reported in
other governmental funds, if expenditures incurred for specific purposes exceeded the amounts
restricted, committed, or assigned to those purposes.
The District has a board policy which prescribes fund balance guidelines. The District will strive to
maintain an assigned and unassigned general fund balance of not less than 5 percent and not more than 8
percent of the budgeted expenditures for that year.
When an expenditure is incurred for purposes for which both restricted and unrestricted (committed,
assigned, or unassigned) amounts are available, the District will reduce the committed balance first,
followed by the assigned balance, and then the unassigned balance.
Restricted Net Assets: Restricted classifies certain assets which were imposed by law through
constitutional provisions or enabling legislation and were to be used for specific purposes, and are
therefore, restricted.
Use of Estimates: Management uses estimates and assumptions in preparing financial statements. These
estimates and assumptions affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and the reported revenues
and expenditures.
Subsequent Events: In preparing these financial statements, the District has evaluated events and
transactions for potential recognition or disclosure through November 26, 2012, the date the financial
statements were available to be issued.

PSDLAF - This fund invests in U.S. treasury securities, U.S. government securities, its agencies and
instrumentalities, and repurchase agreements, collateralized by such securities and contracted with highlyrated counterparties. Weighted-average portfolio maturity for the fund is expected to be kept at or below
60 days. The District’s position in the investment pool is presented at fair value. PSDLAF is not subject
to any regulatory oversight.
Weighted-Average Maturity
The weighted-average maturity (WAM) method expresses investment time horizons - the time when
investments become due and payable - in years or months, weighted to reflect the dollar-size of individual
investments within an investment type. WAMs are computed for each investment type. The portfolio’s
WAM is derived by dollar-weighting the WAM for each investment type.
Interest-Rate Risk
The District does not have a formal investment policy that limits investment maturities as a means of
managing its exposure to fair-value losses arising from increasing interest rates.
Credit Risk
As indicated above, Section 440.1 of the Public School Code of 1949, as amended, limits the composition
of the District’s investments, and the District has no investment policy that would further limit its
investment choices. As of June 30, 2012, the District’s investments in PSDLAF and in Federated
Treasury Obligations were rated AAAm by Standard & Poor’s.
Concentrations-of-Credit Risk
The District places no limit on the amounts invested in any one issuer. The District’s investments in
PSDLAF represent 68.47% of the District’s total investments.

Funding Progress
For the year ended June 30, 2012, the District has estimated the cost (annual expense) of providing retiree
health, and dental-care benefits through an actuarial valuation as of January 1, 2010. In accordance with
GASB Statement No. 45, the valuation computes an annual required contribution, which represents a
level of funding that, if paid on an o-going basis, is projected to cover normal cost each year and amortize
any unfunded actuarial liabilities over a period of thirty years. This valuation’s computed contribution
and actual funding are summarized as follows:

Actuarial Methods and Assumptions
Actuarial valuations of an on-going plan involve estimates of the value of reported amounts and
assumptions about the probability of occurrence of events far into the future. Examples include
assumptions about future employment, mortality, and the health-care cost trend. Amounts are determined
regarding the funded status of the plan, and the annual required contributions of the employer are subject
to continual revision as actual results are compared with past expectations and new estimates are made
about the future.
Projections of benefits for financial-reporting purposes are based on the substantive plan (the plan as
understood by the employer and the plan members) and include the types of benefits provided at the time
of each valuation and the historical pattern of sharing of benefit costs between the employer and plan
members to that point. The actuarial methods and assumptions used include techniques that are designed
to reduce the effects of short-term volatility in actuarial accrued liabilities and the actuarial value of
assets, consistent with the long-term perspective of the calculations.
In the January 1, 2011, actuarial valuation, the Entry-Age Normal cost method was used. The actuarial
assumptions include a 4.50% investment rate of return (net of administrative expenses), which is a
blended rate of the expected long-term and short-term investment returns on the District’s own assets to
be used for funding the current liability, and an annual health-care cost trend rate of 7.50% initially,
reduced by decrements to an ultimate rate of 5.50% by 2014. Both rates include a 4.50% inflation
assumption. The UAAL is being amortized over a 30-year open period as a level-dollar amount.
A separate, audited GAAP-basis post-employment benefit plan report is not issued.
All other postemployment benefits obligations are funded by the General Fund.

Derivative Financial Instruments
Objective of the Interest-Rate Swaps
As a means to manage interest-rate exposure, the District entered into two separate pay-fixed, receivevariable interest-rate swaps in connection with its Series of 1998 and 2000 General Obligation Bonds.
The swap contracts remained in effect after the refunding of the 1998 and 2000 bonds. The intention of
the swaps was to effectively change the District’s variable-interest rates on the bonds to lower syntheticfixed rates.
Terms, Fair Value, and Credit Risk
The terms, fair values, and credit risks of the outstanding swaps as of June 30, 2012, were as follows.
The notional amounts of the swaps matched the principal amounts of the original associated debt rather
than the 2008 Series. The District’s swap agreements contain scheduled reductions to outstanding
notional amounts that are expected to approximately follow scheduled or anticipated reductions in the
associated “bonds payable” category.

For the year ended June 30, 2012, the derivative instruments are considered to investment derivatives,
with their fair values recorded as noncurrent liabilities on the Statement of Net Assets and the changes in
their fair values are recognized against investment income in the Statement of Activities. During the year
ended June 30, 2012, $18,091 was recorded as an interest expense reduction in the Statement of Activities
to reflect the change in fair value of the derivatives from July 1, 2011.

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

Derivative Financial Instruments (Continued)
Fair Value
Because interest rates have declined, all swaps had a negative fair value as of June 30, 2012. The
negative fair values may be countered by reductions in total interest payments required under the
variable-rate bonds, creating lower synthetic-fixed interest rates. Because the coupons on the
government’s variable-rate bonds adjust to changing interest rates, the bonds do not have corresponding
fair-value increases. The fair values were estimated using the zero-coupon method. This method
calculates the future net settlement payments required by the swap, assuming that the current forward
rates implied by the yield curve correctly anticipate future spot-interest rates. These payments are then
discounted using the spot rates implied by the current yield curve for hypothetical zero-coupon bonds due
on the date of each future net settlement on the swaps.
Credit Risk
As of June 30, 2012, the District was not exposed to credit risk because the swaps had negative fair
values. However, should interest rates change and the fair values of the swaps become positive, the
District would be exposed to credit risk in the amount of the derivatives’ fair values.
The swap agreements contain a collateral agreement with the counterparty. The swaps require full
collateralization of the fair value of the swap should the counterparty’s credit rating fall below A as issued
by Standard & Poor’s Rating Service or A3 as issued by Moody’s Investors Service. Collateral on all
swaps is to be in the form of U.S. Government securities held by a third-party custodian.
The District also enters into master-netting agreements when the District has entered into more than one
derivative transaction with one counterparty.
Under the terms of these agreements, should one party become insolvent or otherwise default on its
obligations, close-out netting provisions permit the non-defaulting party to accelerate and terminate all
outstanding transactions and net the transactions’ fair values so that a single sum will be owed by, or
owed to, the non-defaulting party.
The District has executed two swap transactions with one counterparty. That counterparty is rated AAby Standard & Poor’s Rating Service and Aaa by Moody’s Investors Service.
Basis Risk
The swap exposes the District to basis risk should the relationship between the LIBOR BBA and the
variable rates charged on the loan change the synthetic rate on the bonds. The effect of the difference in
basis is indicated by the difference between the intended synthetic rate (3.816% for Series of 1998 Bonds
and 3.836% for Series of 2000 Bonds) and the actual synthetic rate as of June 30, 2012 (5.188% for Series
of 1998 Bonds and 5.208% for Series of 2000 Bonds). If a change occurs that results in the rates moving
to convergence, the expected cost savings may not be realized.

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
Note 12.
Derivative Financial Instruments (Continued)
Tax Risk
Tax risk is a specific type of basis risk. Tax risk is a permanent mismatch between the interest rate paid
on the District’s underlying variable-rate bonds and the rate received on the swap caused by a reduction
or elimination in the benefits of the tax exemption for municipal bonds (e.g., a tax cut that results in an
increase in the ratio of tax exempt to taxable yields). The District is receiving 67% of LIBOR (a taxable
index) on the swap and would experience a shortfall relative to the rate paid on its bonds if marginal
income-tax rates decrease relative to expected levels, thus increasing the overall cost of its synthetic-fixed
rate debt.
Termination Risk
The derivative contracts use the International Swap Dealers Association Master Agreement, which
includes standard termination events, such as a failure to pay and bankruptcy. The District or the
counterparty may terminate the swap if the other party fails to perform under the terms of the contract. If
the swap is terminated, the variable-rate bonds would no longer carry synthetic interest rates. Also, if at
the time of termination the swap has a negative fair value, the District would be liable to the counterparty
for a payment equal to the swap’s fair value.
Note 13.
Commitments and Contingencies
Risk Management
The District is exposed to various risks of loss related to torts; theft of, damage to, or destruction of assets
and errors or omissions. Significant losses are covered by commercial insurance for all major programs.
For insured programs, there have been no significant reductions in settlement coverage. Settlement
amounts have not exceeded insurance coverage for the current year or the three prior years.
Grant Programs
The District participates in numerous state and Federal grant programs, which are governed by various
rules and regulations of the grantor agencies. Costs charged to the respective grant programs are subject
to audit and adjustment by the grantor agencies; therefore, to the extent that the District has not complied
with the rules and regulations governing the grants, refunds of any money received may be required, and
the collectability of any related receivables at June 30, 2012, may be impaired. In the opinion of the
District, there are no significant contingent liabilities relating to compliance with the rules and regulations
governing the respective grants; therefore, no provision has been recorded in the accompanying financial
statements for such contingencies.

The fund balance designations are explained in Management's Discussion and Analysis,
Financial Analysis of the District's Funds - Governmental Funds.
Due to the adoption of GASB 54: Fund Balance Reporting and Governmental Fund Type Definitions for Fiscal Year Ended 2011
the Fund Balances for Fiscal Years Ended 2003 through 2010 were reclassified according to the principals applied during Fiscal Year
Ended 2011 in order to present comparable data.
2
The significant increase in the Capital Projects Fund Balance for 2008 was due to the issuance of the General Obligation Bonds,
Series 2008. $38.475 million was used to refund the 1998 and 2000 Series, and the remaining $44.280 million is to be used
in the construction of the Intermediate School and the costs of issuance of the bonds.
The significant decrease for 2009 and 2010 is due to progression of the Intermediate School as it relates to payment of contractors.
The Intermediate School will open with the 2010-2011 school year.

Note: Overlapping governments are those that coincide, at least in part, with the geographic
Boundaries of the School District. This schedule estimates the portion of the outstanding debt
of those overlapping governments that is borne by the residents and businesses. This schedule
does not imply that every taxpayer is a resident, and therefore, responsible for repaying the debt, of
each overlapping government.
1
Pro rata share of the County of York's debt based on 2011 assessed values as
reported by the State Tax Equalization Board.
2
YCST debt is shared by fourteen districts. The annual debt service
payments can fluctuate each year due to change in each District's percentage which is
determined by the District's market value and market value aid ratio.
12.13% is the District's share of the debt for 2011-2012.
3
Series B of 2010 was issued by the District on behalf of York County School of
Technology. The annual debt service payments will be prorated between
fourteen districts in the same manner as the York County School of Technology
debt noted above in footnote 2.

Notes:
Average Daily Membership (ADM) is the term used for all resident pupils of the School District for whom the school district is financially responsible.
It is calculated by dividing the aggregate days membership for all children on active rolls by the number of days the school is in session.
Weighted Average Daily Membership (WADM) is the term used for the assignment of weight by grade level to ADM.
The current weighting is half-time kindergarten at .5 mills, full-time kindergarten and elementary (grades 1-6) at 1.0, and
secondary (grades 7-12) at 1.36.
The Market Value/Personal Income Aid Ratio (MV/PI) is compromised of two separate ratios, the market value aid ratio and the personal income aid ratio.
The ratio takes into account the District estimated market value and the District's total personal income as a proportion of state market
value and state personal income in proportion to the number of students in the District. The basic formula is 60% property weighted and
40% income weighted.
Aid ratios higher for less wealthier School Districts and lower for those with greater local wealth.

INDEPENDENT AUDITOR'S REPORT ON INTERNAL CONTROL OVER
FINANCIAL REPORTING AND ON COMPLIANCE AND OTHER MATTERS
BASED ON AN AUDIT OF THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS PERFORMED IN
ACCORDANCE WITH GOVERNMENT AUDITING STANDARDS
Board of School Directors
Dallastown Area School District
Dallastown, Pennsylvania
We have audited the financial statements of the governmental activities, the business-type activities, each
major fund, and the aggregate remaining fund information of the Dallastown Area School District as of
and for the year ended June 30, 2012, which collectively comprise Dallastown Area School District’s
basic financial statements and have issued our report thereon dated November 16, 2012. 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.
Internal Control over Financial Reporting
Management of the Dallastown Area School District is responsible for establishing and maintaining
effective internal control over financial reporting. In planning and performing our audit, we considered
the Dallastown Area School District's internal control over financial reporting as a basis for designing our
auditing procedures for the purpose of expressing our opinion on the financial statements, but not for the
purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of Dallastown Area School District’s internal
control over financial reporting. Accordingly, we do not express an opinion on the effectiveness of
Dallastown Area School District's internal control over financial reporting.
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 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.
Our consideration of internal control over financial reporting was made for the limited purpose described
in the first paragraph of this section and would not necessarily identify all deficiencies in internal control
that might be deficiencies, significant deficiencies or material weaknesses. We did not identify any
deficiencies in internal control over financial reporting that we consider to be material weaknesses, as
defined above.
Compliance and Other Matters
As part of obtaining reasonable assurance about whether Dallastown Area School District's financial
statements are free of 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.
This report is intended solely for the information and use of the Board of School Directors, management
and Federal awarding agencies and pass-through entities, and is not intended to be, and should not be, used
by anyone other than these specified parties.

INDEPENDENT AUDITOR'S REPORT ON COMPLIANCE WITH
REQUIREMENTS THAT COULD HAVE A DIRECT AND MATERIAL EFFECT
ON EACH MAJOR PROGRAM AND
ON INTERNAL CONTROL OVER COMPLIANCE IN ACCORDANCE
WITH OMB CIRCULAR A-133
Board of School Directors
Dallastown Area School District
Dallastown, Pennsylvania
Compliance
We have audited the compliance of Dallastown Area School District with the types of compliance
requirements described in OMB Circular A-133 Compliance Supplement that could have a direct and
material effect on each of the District’s major Federal programs for the year ended June 30, 2012.
Dallastown Area School District's major Federal programs are identified in the Summary of Auditor's
Results section of the accompanying Schedule of Findings and Questioned Costs. Compliance with the
requirements of laws, regulations, contracts and grants applicable to each of its major Federal programs is
the responsibility of Dallastown Area School District's management. Our responsibility is to express an
opinion on Dallastown Area School District's compliance based on our audit.
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
Dallastown Area School District's compliance with those requirements and performing such other
procedures as we considered necessary in the circumstances. We believe our audit provides a reasonable
basis for our opinion. Our audit does not provide a legal determination on Dallastown Area School
District's compliance with those requirements.
In our opinion, Dallastown Area School District complied, in all material respects, with the compliance
requirements referred to above that could have a direct and material effect on each of its major Federal
programs for the year ended June 30, 2012.
Internal Control over Compliance
Management of Dallastown Area School District is responsible for establishing and maintaining
effective internal control over compliance with the requirements of laws, regulations, contracts and
grants applicable to Federal programs. In planning and performing our audit, we considered Dallastown
Area School District's internal control over compliance with requirements that could have a direct and
material effect on a major Federal program to determine the auditing procedures for the purpose of
expressing our opinion on compliance 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 Dallastown Area School District's internal control over compliance.
A deficiency in internal control over compliance exists when the design or operation of a control over
compliance does not allow management or employees, in the normal course of performing their
assigned functions, to prevent, or detect and correct, noncompliance with a type of compliance
requirement of a Federal program on a timely basis. A material 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.
Our consideration of internal control over compliance was for the limited purpose described in the first
paragraph of this section and would not necessarily identify all deficiencies in internal control over
compliance that might be deficiencies, significant deficiencies or material weaknesses. We did not
identify any deficiencies in internal control over compliance that we consider to be material
weaknesses, as defined above.
This report is intended solely for the information and use of the Board of School Directors, management
and Federal awarding agencies and pass-through entities, and is not intended to be, and should not be,
used by anyone other than these specified parties.

NOTES TO SCHEDULE OF EXPENDITURES OF FEDERAL AWARDS
Note 1.
Basis of Presentation
The accompanying schedule of expenditures of federal awards (the "Schedule") includes the federal grant
activity of Dallastown Area School District under programs of the federal government for the year ended
June 30, 2012. The information in this schedule is presented in accordance with the requirements of the
Office of Management and Budget (OMB) Circular A-133, Audits of States, Local Governments, and
Non-Profit Organizations. Because the schedule presents only a selected portion of the operations of the
Dallastown Area School District, it is not intended to and does not present the financial position, changes
in net assets or cash flows of the Dallastown Area School District.
Note 2.
Significant Accounting Policies
Expenditures reported on the Schedule are reported on the accrual basis of accounting. Such
expenditures are recognized following the cost principles contained in OMB Circular A-87, Cost
Principles for State, Local and Indian Tribal Governments, wherein certain types of expenditures are not
allowable or are limited as to reimbursement. Revenue is recognized when earned, and expenses are
recognized when incurred. Negative amounts shown on the Schedule represent adjustments or credits
made in the normal course of business to amounts reported as expenditures in prior years. Pass-through
entity identifying numbers are presented where available.
