FINANCIAL REPORTING STRUCTURE
As a governmental entity, the District’s accounting structure is organized on a fund basis. Each fund
is considered a separate, self-balancing accounting entity. Resources are accumulated and
expended in each individual fund based on the purpose for which each fund is designed and the
means by which spending activities are controlled. Generally Accepted Accounting Principles
(GAAP) dictates that funds are classified into three main categories: governmental, proprietary, and
fiduciary.
Governmental Funds
Governmental funds comprise most of the governmental functions of the District. Governmental
funds focus on the sources, uses, and balances of current financial resources (modified accrual
basis). The District utilizes two governmental funds:
resources of the School District, except those required to be accounted for in any other fund.
Districts have the option of recording debt service expenditures in a separate debt service fund;
however, the Conneaut School District has elected to record these expenditures in the general fund.
or the
acquisition and improvement of sites, construction and remodeling of facilities, and procurement of
equipment necessary for providing educational programs for all students within the School District.
Proprietary Funds
Proprietary fund reporting focuses on the determination of operating income, changes in net
assets, financial position, and cash flows (full accrual). Proprietary, or Enterprise, funds are used to
account for activities that are often found in the private sector. Similar to the private sector,
proprietary funds are typically at least partially funded by a charge to a user for some sort of
service. The District classifies its Food Service activities as its sole proprietary fund.
Fiduciary Funds
Fiduciary Funds account for resources held by the District as a trustee or agent for some other
entity or group. The District uses Fiduciary Fund types to account for scholarship funds held by the
District in a custodial capacity, the receipts and disbursements of monies from student activity
organizations, and for funds held in a special maintenance escrow fund. Fiduciary Funds are
custodial in nature and do not involve measurement of results of operations. The District is not
required to adopt budgets for Fiduciary Funds, and no budgets are prepared due to the extremely
limited amount of activity in these funds. Accordingly, there is no Fiduciary Fund budget
information presented in this document.
44
are recognized as revenue as soon as all eligibility requirements imposed by the provider have been
met. 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 collectable within the current period or soon enough thereafter to pay liabilities of the
current period. For this purpose, the School District considers revenues to be available if they are
collected within 60 days of the end of the current fiscal period. 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, early retirement, and postemployment
healthcare benefits are recorded only when payment is due.
45
REGULATORY ENVIRONMENT
Each local board of education shall prepare an itemized estimate of the cost of maintenance of public
schools for the ensuing year and shall submit such estimate to the board of finance in each town or city
having a board of finance, to the board of selectmen in each town having no board of finance or
otherwise to the authority making appropriations for the school district, not later than two months
preceding the annual meeting at which appropriations are to be made. The board or authority that
receives such estimate shall, not later than ten days after the date the board of education submits such
estimate, make spending recommendations and suggestions to such board of education as to how such
board of education may consolidate noneducational services and realize financial efficiencies. Such
board of education may accept or reject the suggestions of the board of finance, board of selectmen or
appropriating authority and shall provide the board of finance, board of selectmen or appropriating
authority with a written explanation of the reason for any rejection. The money appropriated by any
municipality for the maintenance of public schools shall be expended by and in the discretion of the
board of education. Except as provided in this subsection, any such board may transfer any unexpended
or uncontracted-for portion of any appropriation for school purposes to any other item of such itemized
estimate. Boards may, by adopting policies and procedures, authorize designated personnel to make
limited transfers under emergency circumstances if the urgent need for the transfer prevents the board
from meeting in a timely fashion to consider such transfer. All transfers made in such instances shall be
announced at the next regularly scheduled meeting of the board and a written explanation of such
transfer shall be provided to the legislative body of the municipality or, in a municipality where the
legislative body is a town meeting, to the board of selectmen. Expenditures by the board of education
shall not exceed the appropriation made by the municipality, with such money as may be received from
other sources for school purposes. If any occasion arises whereby additional funds are needed by such
board, the chairman of such board shall notify the board of finance, board of selectmen or appropriating
authority, as the case may be, and shall submit a request for additional funds in the same manner as is
provided for departments, boards or agencies of the municipality and no additional funds shall be
expended unless such supplemental appropriation shall be granted and no supplemental expenditures
shall be made in excess of those granted through the appropriating authority. The annual report of the
board of education shall, in accordance with section 10-224, include a summary showing (1) the total
cost of the maintenance of schools, (2) the amount received from the state and other sources for the
maintenance of schools, and (3) the net cost to the municipality of the maintenance of schools. For
purposes of this subsection, “meeting” means a meeting, as defined in section 1-200, and “itemized
estimate” means an estimate in which broad budgetary categories including, but not limited to, salaries,
fringe benefits, utilities, supplies and grounds maintenance are divided into one or more line items.
