November 20, 2015 To the Members of the Cobb County Board of Education and Citizens of Cobb County, Georgia:

We are pleased to submit to you the comprehensive annual financial report (CAFR) of the Cobb County School District (District) for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2015. This report conforms to generally accepted accounting principles as applicable to governmental entities. The Financial Services Division prepared this report. Responsibility for both the accuracy of the presented data and the completeness and fairness of the presentation, including all disclosures, rests with the District's administration and is presented for your careful review.
We believe the data, as presented, is accurate in all material aspects; that 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; and that all disclosures necessary to enable the reader to gain the maximum understanding of the District's financial activity have been included. A comprehensive framework of internal control is in place to give reasonable assurance that the financial statements are free of any material misstatements. Because the cost of internal controls should not exceed anticipated benefits, the objective is to provide reasonable, rather than absolute, assurance that the financial statements are free of any material misstatements.
Readers of this report are encouraged to consider the information presented here in conjunction with additional information presented in the Management's Discussion and Analysis beginning on page five of this report.

PROFILE OF THE SCHOOL DISTRICT ____________________________________________________________________________________
Cobb County School District is one of two public school districts located in Cobb County, Georgia. The District serves the entire county area with the exception of the City of Marietta, which has its own independent school district. It provides a program of public education from kindergarten through grade twelve. The purpose and responsibility of the District is to provide a thorough and efficient educational system for the children enrolled in public schools within its boundaries whereby each child has access to programs and services that are appropriate to his or her educational needs.
The District is the second largest school system in Georgia and the 24th largest in the United States with an active daily enrollment of 111,060. The District is governed by a Board of Education consisting of seven members elected from seven county posts. Members serve four-year terms and each year appoint

BOARD OF EDUCATION SUPERINTENDENT

Randy Scamihorn, Chair Brad Wheeler, Vice Chair Susan Thayer David Morgan David Chastain David Banks Scott Sweeney
Chris Ragsdale

a chairperson and vice-chairperson. The Board appoints a Superintendent to oversee the day-to-day administration of the School District.
Mr. Chris Ragsdale currently serves as the Superintendent of the Cobb County School District. Prior to his appointment in February of 2015, he served as Interim Superintendent from May, 2014, through January, 2015. Mr. Ragsdale also previously served as the Deputy Superintendent for Operations and as the Chief Technology Officer. During his tenure with the District, he has managed plant operations, provided oversight for the District's technology integration, and been responsible for planning and execution of capital projects approved by Cobb voters and funded by the Special Purpose Local Option Sales Tax. Mr. Ragsdale holds a Bachelor of Science in Information Systems and a Master's Degree in Educational Leadership, both from Kennesaw State University. He is also the recipient of Kennesaw State University's Distinguished Alumni Award. The award recognizes his extraordinary professional achievements; engagement in civic and community activities; support of the KSU community; and the ways in which he exemplifies the ideals and mission of Kennesaw State University.
The District prides itself on providing a quality educational experience to all of our students, while efficiently managing our resources. Here are a few of the many accomplishments from the 2015 fiscal year:
The District average SAT score of 1516 is 66 points higher than the state average and 26 points higher than the national average. 79% of 2015 graduates took the SAT.
In 2012, 2013, and 2014, 15 Cobb high schools were recognized by the Georgia Department of Education as Advanced Placement Honor Schools. The program recognizes Georgia schools that have increased access to rigorous Advance Placement coursework. Participation in challenging Advanced Placement courses has grown 184% within the District since 2004.
The four-year graduation rate for Cobb high schools improved to 81.4% in 2015, marking the fourth consecutive year the overall graduation rate has increased. Cobb exceeds the state graduation rate of 78.8% by 2.6%.
Cobb has a distinguished faculty, with 62% of Cobb teachers holding advanced degrees.
More details may be obtained through the District's Communications Department.
The District has reviewed its operating entity definition in order to ensure conformance with the Governmental Accounting Standards Board Statement No. 61, "The Financial Reporting Entity: Omnibus an Amendment of GASB Statements No. 14 and No. 34." This report includes all funds and account groups of the District. The District is not included in any other reporting entity, and no other entities are included within this report.
The District maintains budgetary controls to ensure compliance with legal provisions embodied in the annual appropriated budget approved by the Cobb County Board of Education. Activities of the General Fund and Special Revenue Funds are included in the annual appropriated budget. Capital Projects Funds are budgeted on a multi-year, project-length basis. The level of budgetary control (that is, the level at which expenditures cannot legally exceed the appropriated amount) is established by function within an individual fund.

____________________________________________________________________________________
ECONOMIC CONDITION AND OUTLOOK ____________________________________________________________________________________
The District is located in the northwest quadrant of the Atlanta metropolitan area. Metropolitan Atlanta is a national center for finance, transportation, distribution and communications. In 2014 (most recent figures available), Cobb County had one of the metropolitan area's highest median household incomes at $68,656, an unemployment rate of 6.0%, and a growing population which increased from 646,754 in 2005 to 730,981 in 2014. Student enrollment for the 2015 fiscal year was 111,060.
We are pleased by the positive increase in property values in fiscal year 2015 and expect this trend to continue into fiscal year 2016. In fiscal year 2015 the District's gross property digest increased by 3.5% over the 2014 fiscal year's digest as compared to a decrease of 3.2% the previous year and a total decrease of 14.8% over the last five years.
In regards to state funding, the District experienced a $45.8 million reduction in state funding in 2015 due to austerity cuts. This was $20.1 million less than last year's $65.9 million austerity cut, a reduction of 30.5% We expect an even further reduction in austerity cuts in fiscal year 2016.
____________________________________________________________________________________
LONG-TERM FINANCIAL PLANNING ____________________________________________________________________________________
The District anticipates meeting its projected capital improvement needs through December 2018 by means of county sales tax revenues. In March 2013, the citizens of Cobb County voted to renew a onepercent local option sales tax for education over a period of five years beginning January 1, 2014 and ending December 31, 2018. The revenue generated from sales tax has been or will be used to construct new schools, improve existing schools, construct major additions to many schools, improve technology and security throughout the District and acquire land for future expansion. A schedule of District school buildings and their ages can be found on pages 145 through 152, in the statistical section. ____________________________________________________________________________________
OTHER INFORMATION ____________________________________________________________________________________
New Educational Model: The Cobb County School District currently saves almost $44 million annually through state waivers no longer available after July 1, 2015, unless a contract is developed to become either a charter system or an Investing in Educational Excellence (IE2) system. The Cobb County School Board has received approval from the Georgia Department of Education to become an IE2 district, effective with the 2015-2016 school year. A chief reason for selecting this model over the charter system model was the greater ability to develop customized student achievement plans for individual schools.
Independent Audit: The financial statements have been audited by Mauldin & Jenkins, LLC, whose opinion is expressed on page 1. The District complies with the requirements of the Single Audit Act and associated reports and schedules are presented in a separately issued Report of Independent Certified Public Accountants in Accordance with the Single Audit Act and Governmental Auditing Standards.

INDEPENDENT AUDITOR'S REPORT
To the Superintendent and Members of the Cobb County Board of Education Marietta, Georgia
Report on the Financial Statements
We have audited the accompanying financial statements of the governmental activities, each major fund, and the aggregate remaining fund information of the Cobb County Board of Education as of and for the year ended June 30, 2015, and the related notes to the financial statements, which collectively comprise the Cobb County Board of Education's basic financial statements as listed in the table of contents.
Management's Responsibility for the Financial Statements
Management is responsible for the preparation and fair presentation of these financial statements in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America; this includes the design, implementation, and maintenance of internal control relevant to the preparation and fair presentation of financial statements that are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error.
Auditor's Responsibility
Our responsibility is to express opinions on these financial statements based on our audit. We conducted our audit in accordance with auditing standards generally accepted in the United States of America and the standards applicable to financial audits contained in Government Auditing Standards, issued by the Comptroller General of the United States. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free from material misstatement.
An audit involves performing procedures to obtain audit evidence about the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. The procedures selected depend on the auditor's judgment, including the assessment of the risks of material misstatement of the financial statements, whether due to fraud or error. In making those risk assessments, the auditor considers internal control relevant to the entity's preparation and fair presentation of the financial statements in order to design audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the entity's internal control. Accordingly, we express no such opinion. An audit also includes evaluating the appropriateness of accounting policies used and the reasonableness of significant accounting estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall presentation of the financial statements.
We believe that the audit evidence we have obtained is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our audit opinions.
200 GALLERIA PARKWAY S.E., SUITE 1700 ATLANTA, GA 30339-5946 770-955-8600 800-277-0080 FAX 770-980-4489 www.mjcpa.com Members of The American Institute of Certified Public Accountants RSM International

Opinions
In our opinion, the financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the respective financial position of the governmental activities, each major fund, and the aggregate remaining fund information of the Cobb County Board of Education as of June 30, 2015, and the respective changes in financial position, and, where applicable, cash flows thereof and the budgetary comparison for the General Fund, for the year then ended in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.
Emphasis of Matter
As discussed in Notes 13 and 15, the Cobb County Board of Education implemented Governmental Accounting Standards Board (GASB) Statement No. 68, Accounting and Financial Reporting for Pensions an amendment of GASB Statement No. 27, as well as Statement No. 71, Pension Transition for Contributions Made Subsequent to the Measurement Date an amendment of GASB Statement No. 68, as of July 1, 2014. These standards significantly changed the accounting for the Cobb County Board of Education's net pension liability and the related disclosures. Our opinions are not modified with respect to this matter.
Other Matters
Required Supplementary Information
Accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America require that the Management's Discussion and Analysis, Schedule of Proportionate Share of Net Pension Liability Teacher Retirement System of Georgia, Schedule of Contributions Teacher Retirement System of Georgia, Schedule of Proportionate Share of Net Pension Liability Employee Retirement System of Georgia, Schedule of Contributions Employee Retirement System of Georgia, and Schedule of Proportionate Share of Net Pension Liability Public School Employee Retirement System of Georgia, on pages 5 through 16 and pages 65 through 72 be presented to supplement the basic financial statements. Such information, although not a part of the basic financial statements, is required by the Governmental Accounting Standards Board who considers it to be an essential part of financial reporting for placing the basic financial statements in an appropriate operational, economic, or historical context. We have applied certain limited procedures to the required supplementary information in accordance with auditing standards generally accepted in the United States of America, which consisted of inquiries of management about the methods of preparing the information and comparing the information for consistency with management's responses to our inquiries, the basic financial statements, and other knowledge we obtained during our audit of the basic financial statements. We do not express an opinion or provide any assurance on the information because the limited procedures do not provide us with sufficient evidence to express an opinion or provide any assurance.
2

Other Information Our audit was conducted for the purpose of forming opinions on the financial statements that collectively comprise the Cobb County Board of Education's basic financial statements. The combining and individual nonmajor fund financial statements and schedules, the SPLOST III schedule of expenditures of Special Purpose Local Option Sales Tax Projects, the SPLOST IV schedule of expenditures of Special Purpose Local Option Sales Tax Projects, and the introductory and statistical sections are presented for purposes of additional analysis and are not a required part of the basic financial statements. The combining and individual nonmajor fund financial statements and schedules, the SPLOST III schedule of expenditures of Special Purpose Local Option Sales Tax Projects, and the SPLOST IV schedule of expenditures of Special Purpose Local Option Sales Tax Projects are the responsibility of management and were derived from and relate directly to the underlying accounting and other records used to prepare the basic financial statements. Such information has been subjected to the auditing procedures applied in the audit of the basic financial statements and certain additional procedures, including comparing and reconciling such information directly to the underlying accounting and other records used to prepare the basic financial statements or to the basic financial statements themselves, and other additional procedures in accordance with auditing standards generally accepted in the United States of America. In our opinion, the combining and individual nonmajor fund financial statements and schedules, the SPLOST III schedule of expenditures of Special Purpose Local Option Sales Tax Projects, and the SPLOST IV schedule of expenditures of Special Purpose Local Option Sales Tax Projects, are fairly stated, in all material respects, in relation to the basic financial statements as a whole. The introductory and statistical sections have not been subjected to the auditing procedures applied in the audit of the basic financial statements, and accordingly, we do not express an opinion or provide any assurance on them.
3

Other Reporting Required by Governmental Auditing Standards In accordance with Government Auditing Standards, we have also issued our report dated November 20, 2015 on our consideration of the Cobb County Board of Education's internal control over financial reporting and on our tests of its compliance with certain provisions of laws, regulations, contracts, and grant agreements and other matters. The purpose of that report is to describe the scope of our testing of internal control over financial reporting and compliance and the results of that testing, and not to provide an opinion on internal control over financial reporting or on compliance. That report is an integral part of an audit performed in accordance with Government Auditing Standards in considering the Cobb County Board of Education's internal control over financial reporting and compliance.

MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION
AND ANALYSIS

COBB COUNTY SCHOOL DISTRICT Management's Discussion and Analysis
JUNE 30, 2015
The discussion and analysis of the Cobb County School District's (subsequently referred to as the District) financial performance provides an overall review of the District's financial activities for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2015. The intent of this discussion and analysis is to look at the District's financial performance as a whole. Readers should also review the transmittal letter and complete financial statements, with notes, to enhance their understanding of the District's financial performance.
Financial Highlights
Key financial highlights for 2015 are as follows:
Total net position increased from $655.2 million in 2014 to $731.1 million in 2015, a increase of $75.9 million.
Total revenue increased from $1,114.9 million in 2014 to $1,164.6 million in 2015, an increase of $49.7 million. The revenue increase was primarily from greater state funding, as well as higher property and sales taxes.
Total expenses increased from $1,054.9 million in 2014 to $1,088.7 million in 2015, an increase of $33.8 million. The increased expense was largely due to higher instructional salaries and services.
Overview of the Financial Statements
This discussion and analysis serves as an introduction to the District's basic financial statements. The basic financial statements comprise three components: 1) District-wide financial statements, 2) fund financial statements, and 3) notes to the financial statements. This report also contains other supplementary information in addition to the basic financial statements themselves.
Districtwide Financial Statements
The District-wide financial statements provide readers with a broad overview of the District's finances, in a manner similar to a private-sector business.
The Statement of Net Position presents information on all of the District's assets, deferred outflows of resources, liabilities, and deferred inflows of resources with the difference between them reported as net position. Over time, increases or decreases in net position may serve as a useful indicator of whether the financial position of the District is improving or deteriorating.
5

COBB COUNTY SCHOOL DISTRICT Management's Discussion and Analysis
JUNE 30, 2015
The Statement of Activities presents information showing how the District's net position changed during the most recent fiscal year. Changes in net position appear as soon as the underlying event giving rise to the change occurs, regardless of the timing of related cash flows. Thus, revenues and expenses appear in this statement for some items that will result in future fiscal period cash flows (e.g., uncollected taxes and earned but unused vacation leave).
Fund Financial Statements
A fund is a grouping of related accounts used to maintain control over resources that have been segregated for specific activities or objectives. The District, like other state and local governments, uses fund accounting to ensure and demonstrate compliance with financerelated legal requirements. District funds are in one of three categories: governmental funds, proprietary funds, and fiduciary funds.
Governmental Funds
Most of the District's activities are reported in governmental funds. The governmental fund statements focus on how money flows in and out of those funds and the balances left at year-end that are available for spending in future periods. These statements also provide a detailed short-term view of the District's general government operations and the basic services it provides. Governmental fund information helps you determine whether there are more or fewer financial resources that can be spent in the near future to finance educational programs. The District maintains numerous governmental funds with the majority of activity occurring in the General Fund.
Proprietary Funds
Proprietary funds are those used to account for ongoing organizations and activities which are similar to those found in the private sector. The District's proprietary funds are internal service funds and report activities that provide supplies and services for its other programs and activities. The District's internal service funds consist of the Unemployment Compensation Fund and the Self-Insurance Fund.
Fiduciary Funds
The District is the trustee, or fiduciary, for assets that belong to others. The District's fiduciary funds include the Student Activity Fund and the Payroll Withholding Fund. The District is responsible for ensuring that the assets in these funds are used exclusively for their intended purposes for the benefit of those to whom the assets belong. The District excludes these funds from the district-wide financial statements because it cannot use these assets to finance its operations.

COBB COUNTY SCHOOL DISTRICT Management's Discussion and Analysis
JUNE 30, 2015 District-wide Financial Analysis The Condensed Statement of Net Position Table (Table I), presented on the following page, summarizes and compares the Statement of Net Position for 2015 and 2014. In 2015, the District's net position increased 11.6%, or $75.9 million, over the prior year. A new governmental accounting standard requires the District to report its proportional liability of state administered pension plans in which the District participates for the benefit of its employees. Total current and other assets reflected a net decrease of 2.4%, or $9.4 million, primarily due to a decrease in cash of $14.7 million. Most of this cash decrease was the direct result of higher instructional expenses. Salaries were increased by 1.5% during the year as a substantial restoration of a District-wide salary cut of 2.0% in a previous year.

JUNE 30, 2015 Changes in Net Position from Operating Results The Changes in Net Position from Operating Results Table (Table II), presented on the following pages, summarizes and compares the Statement of Activities for 2015 and 2014. Revenues In 2015, the District's total revenues increased 4.5%, or $49.7 million, over the prior year due primarily to an increase in state and federal aid and increased tax revenue.
Operating grants and contributions increased by 6.4%, or $32.8 million, primarily due to an increase in state instructional program revenue.
General property taxes increased 4.1%, or $21.5 million, primarily due to a 5.6% increase in the real property tax digest.
Charges for services increased by 0.3% or $0.2 million, primarily due to an increase in after school program revenue.
Other revenue decreased by 46.4%, or $2.6 million, due largely to a nonrecurring utility rebate received in the prior year which resulted from a class action lawsuit.
Expenses In 2015, the District's total expenses increased 3.2%, or $33.8 million, over the prior year due primarily to an increase in instructional and school administrative salaries.
Instruction increased by 4.0%, or $27.3 million largely due to a 1.5% increase in salaries and the restoration of a 180 day school year, with no furlough days.
School and administrative services increased 7.6%, or $12.2 million, in large part due to the salary increase, as well as a 1.4% increase in student enrollment.

JUNE 30, 2015
Governmental Activities The Net Cost of Governmental Activities Table (Table III) presents the total and net cost of six major District activities: Instruction, Pupil and Instructional Services, School and Administrative Services, Student Transportation, Maintenance and Operations, and Other. Net Cost of Services is the total cost less fees generated by the activities and intergovernmental revenue provided for specific programs. The net cost shows the financial burden on the District's taxpayers by each activity. The total cost of governmental services in 2015 was $1,088.7 million. Users of the District's programs financed $62.1 million of the costs. Federal and State grants, subsidized programs and contributions financed $551.5 million of the cost. District taxpayers financed the remaining costs of 2015 which totaled $475.1 million.

COBB COUNTY SCHOOL DISTRICT Management's Discussion and Analysis
JUNE 30, 2015
The School District's Funds
The District ended fiscal year 2015 with a healthy fund balance in its governmental funds. The combined balance of all governmental funds, at $261.0 million, was 10.0% lower than 2015's ending balance of $290.0 million. The General Fund's fund balance decreased by $10.3 million, or 7.2%, due to the use of fund balance to largely fund the 1.5% salary restoration for all employees. SPLOST IV increased its fund balance by $23.2 million, an increase of 50.8%. The nonmajor governmental fund balances decreased in the aggregate by $41.9 million, or 41.3%. Most of this decrease was in SPLOST III, as it no longer had sales tax revenue and neared completion of its construction projects.
General Fund Budgetary Highlights
The most significant fund for the District is the General Fund, funded primarily through state revenue and local property tax revenue. The State of Georgia is required to maintain a balanced budget (a constitutional requirement in Georgia), as are all state-funded school districts.
Revenue for local property taxes and state student funding were both higher in 2015, by $13.5 million and $28.2 million respectively. This reflected a rebound in property tax values and increased tax collections at the state level. These increased revenues, combined with a contribution from the General Fund Balance, enabled the District to increase salaries for the first time in six years. We budgeted a decrease in General Fund Balance of $51.7 million, but due to conservative budgeting practices and effective expenditure control, General Fund Balance only decreased by $10.3 million. Actual revenue exceeded budget by $20.8 million, and actual expenditures were less than budget by $20.6. This netted a favorable budget variance of $41.4 million.
General Fund Balance
The unassigned General Fund balance at June 30, 2015 was $90.6 million. This represents approximately 37 days of general fund expenditures. The Board of Education made a concerted effort to maintain adequate reserves for the District.

COBB COUNTY SCHOOL DISTRICT Management's Discussion and Analysis
JUNE 30, 2015 Other Governmental Funds Capital Projects Funds The District uses Capital Projects Funds to account for school construction and improvement projects which, prior to 1999, were financed primarily through bond issues. SPLOST III focuses on revitalizing schools. Collections of the tax began on January 1, 2009 and ended on December 31, 2013. The SPLOST III fund had expenditures of $45.0 million and an ending fund balance of $23.8 million. SPLOST IV began January 1, 2015 and will end on December 31, 2019. The SPLOST IV fund had expenditures of $105.2 million and an ending fund balance of $69.0 million. A full listing of SPLOST III and SPLOST IV projects can be located on pages 112-115. Nonmajor Governmental Funds The Nonmajor Governmental Funds had aggregate expenditures of $196.6 million and aggregate fund balances of $59.6 million. The Board of Education will continue to address contingencies in 2016. Funds with the highest expenditures were School Nutrition at $53.9 million, Special Education at $21.3 million, Title I at $20.7 million, and Local School Funds at $32.2 million. Funds ending the year with the highest fund balances were School Nutrition at $19.3 million, Local School Funds at $8.4 million, and After School Program at $3.8 million. The fund balance of Nonmajor Governmental Funds, in aggregate, decreased from $101.5 million in 2014 to $59.6 million in 2015, a decrease of $41.9 million. Descriptions of these funds can be located on pages 73-75.

We are also grateful for our citizens' approval of the SPLOST IV capital financing initiative which enables the financing of new schools and needed building improvements to existing schools. Our District is committed to working as one team for the goal of student success, and we greatly appreciate the support of our schools by the public and by local community organizations. This financial report is designed to provide a general overview of Cobb County School District's finances.

(amounts expressed in thousands)
Total Net Change in Fund Balances-Governmental Funds
Amounts reported for governmental activities in the statement of activities are different because:
Capital assets are reported as expenditures in governmental funds. However, in the statement of activities, the cost of capital assets is allocated over their estimated useful lives as depreciation expense. In the current period, these amounts are:
Capital outlay Depreciation expense
In the governmental funds, current year expenditures related to pensions are compried solely of amounts contributed to the plan for the current year. However, in the statement of activities, expenses related to pensions include amounts that do not require the use of current financial resources. This amount represents the difference in the required accounting treatment of pensions and related items.
Because some property taxes will not be collected for several months after the fiscal year ends, they are considered as unavailable revenues in the governmental funds.
The net effect of various miscellaneous transactions involving capital assets (i.e., sales and disposals) is to decrease net position.
Internal service funds are used by management to charge the costs of insurance to individual funds. The net expenses of the internal service funds is reported with governmental activities.
Some items reported in the statement of activities do not require the use of current financial resources and therefore are not reported as expenditures in governmental funds. This activity consists of the increase in compensated absences.

COBB COUNTY SCHOOL DISTRICT Notes to the Basic Financial Statements JUNE 30, 2015
Note 1. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES:
A. Reporting Entity:
The Cobb County School District (District) was established under the laws of the State of Georgia and operates under the guidance of a school board elected by the voters of Cobb County and has a superintendent appointed by the Board. The Board is organized as a separate legal entity and has the power to levy taxes and issue bonds. Its budget is not subject to approval by any other entity. Accordingly, the District is a primary government and consists of all the organizations that compose its legal entity.
A financial reporting entity consists of a primary government and its component units. A component unit is a legally separate entity that must be included in the reporting entity of a primary government in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles. Based on the guidance of the Governmental Accounting Standards Board (GASB) Statements 61, there are no component units combined with the District for financial statement presentation purposes, and the District is not included in any other governmental reporting entity.
B. Basis of Presentation:
The District's basic financial statements are collectively comprised of the District-wide financial statements, fund financial statements and the notes to the basic financial statements of the Cobb County School District.
District-wide Statements:
The Statement of Net Position and the Statement of Activities display information about the financial activities of the overall District, except for fiduciary activities. Eliminations have been made to minimize the double counting of internal activities. Governmental activities generally are financed through taxes, intergovernmental revenues, and nonexchange transactions.
The Statement of Activities presents a comparison between direct expenses and program revenues for each function of the District's governmental activities.
Direct expenses are those that are specifically associated with a program or function and, therefore, are clearly identifiable to a particular function. Indirect expenses (expenses of the District related to the administration and support of the District's programs, such as office and maintenance personnel and accounting) are not allocated to programs, except for federal indirect costs allocated to federal grant programs.
28

COBB COUNTY SCHOOL DISTRICT Notes to the Basic Financial Statements JUNE 30, 2015
Note 1. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (Continued)
Program revenues include (a) charges paid by the recipients of goods or services offered by the programs and (b) grants and contributions that are restricted to meeting the operational or capital requirements of a particular program. Revenues that are not classified as program revenues, including all taxes, are presented as general revenues.
Fund Financial Statements:
The fund financial statements provide information about the District's funds, including fiduciary funds. Separate statements for each category (governmental, proprietary and fiduciary) are presented. The emphasis of fund financial statements is on major governmental funds, each displayed in a separate column. All remaining governmental funds are aggregated and reported as nonmajor funds.
The District reports the following major governmental funds:
General Fund is the District's primary operating fund. It accounts for all financial resources of the District, except those resources required to be accounted for in another fund.
Special Purpose Local Option Sales Tax IV Fund (SPLOST IV) account for sales tax proceeds required to be used for capital outlay for educational purposes as authorized by local referendum.
Additionally, the District reports the following fund types:
Special revenue funds account for restricted or committed specific revenues and their related expenditures. Revenues for the District include various federal and state grants, donations to the District, rental of District facilities, charges for after-school programs, adult high school, and performing arts.
Capital project funds account for restricted and assigned revenues and related capital expenditures. The expenditures are used for capital outlays for educational purposes as authorized by local referendum and management's decision.
Internal service funds (proprietary funds) account for insurance and unemployment compensation provided to other funds of the District on a cost reimbursement basis.
29

COBB COUNTY SCHOOL DISTRICT Notes to the Basic Financial Statements JUNE 30, 2015
Note 1. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (Continued)
Fiduciary funds (agency funds) account for assets and liabilities held by the District as an agent for various governments or individuals on the accrual basis of accounting. Specifically, the District temporarily holds assets for numerous school student activity organizations and payroll withholdings.
C. Basis of Accounting/Measurement Focus:
The basis of accounting determines when transactions are reported on the financial statements. The District-wide governmental activities and proprietary fund financial statements are reported using the economic resources measurement focus and the accrual basis of accounting. Revenues are recorded when earned and expenses are recorded at the time liabilities are incurred, regardless of when the related cash flows take place.
Nonexchange transactions, in which the District gives (or receives) value without directly receiving (or giving) equal value in exchange, include property taxes, sales taxes, grants and donations. On an accrual basis, revenue from property taxes is recognized in the fiscal year for which the taxes are levied. Revenue from sales taxes is recognized in the fiscal year in which the underlying transaction (sale) takes place. Revenue from grants and donations is recognized in the fiscal year in which all eligibility requirements have been satisfied. Agency funds report only assets and liabilities and, accordingly, do not have a measurement focus.
The District uses funds to report on its financial position and the results of its operations. Fund accounting is designed to demonstrate legal compliance and to aid financial management by segregating transactions related to certain governmental functions or activities. A fund is a separate accounting entity with a self-balancing set of accounts.
Governmental funds are reported using the current financial resources measurement focus and the modified accrual basis of accounting. Under this method, revenues are recognized when measurable and available. The District considers all non-grant revenues reported in the governmental funds to be available if they are collected within 60 days after year-end. The District considers all intergovernmental revenues to be available if they are collected within 120 days after year-end. Property taxes, sales taxes, intergovernmental and interest are considered to be subject to accrual. Expenditures are recorded when the related fund liability is incurred, except for principal and interest on general long-term debt, claims and judgments, and compensated absences, which are recognized as expenditures to the extent they have matured. Capital asset acquisitions are reported as expenditures in governmental funds. Proceeds of general long-term liabilities and acquisitions under capital leases are reported as other financing sources.
30

COBB COUNTY SCHOOL DISTRICT Notes to the Basic Financial Statements JUNE 30, 2015
Note 1. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (Continued)
The State of Georgia reimburses the District for teachers' salaries and operating costs through the Quality Basic Education (QBE) Formula Earnings program. State of Georgia law defines the formula driven grant that determines the cost of an academic school year and the State of Georgia's share in this cost. Generally, teachers are contracted for the school year (July 1 June 30) and paid over a twelve-month contract period, generally September 1 through August 31. In accordance with the requirements of the enabling legislation of the QBE program, the State of Georgia reimburses the District over the same twelve-month period in which teachers are paid, funding the academic school year expenditures. At June 30, the amount of teachers' salaries incurred but not paid until July and August of the subsequent year are accrued as the State of Georgia has only postponed the final payment of their share of the cost until the subsequent appropriations for cash management purposes. By June 30 of each year, the State of Georgia has a signed appropriation that includes this final amount, which represents the State of Georgia's intent to fund this final payment. Based on guidance in Government Accounting Standards Board (GASB) Statement No. 33, paragraph 74, the State of Georgia recognizes its QBE liability for the July and August salaries at June 30, and the District recognizes the same QBE as a receivable and revenue, consistent with symmetrical recognition.
Under the terms of grant agreements, the District funds certain programs by a combination of specific cost-reimbursement grants, categorical grants, and general revenues. Thus, when program costs are incurred, there are both restricted and unrestricted net position available to finance the program. It is the District's policy to first apply grant resources to such programs, followed by cost-reimbursement grants, then general revenues.
Proprietary funds distinguish operating revenues and expenses from nonoperating items. Operating revenues and expenses result from providing services. Operating revenues in the internal service funds are charges to customers for services. Operating expenses for internal service funds consist of the cost of services and administrative expenses. All revenues and expenses not meeting this definition are reported as nonoperating revenues and expenses.
D. Cash and Cash Equivalents:
The District's cash and cash equivalents are considered to be cash on hand, demand deposits and short-term investments with original maturities of three months or less from the date of acquisition in authorized financial institutions. Georgia Law OCGA 45-8-14 authorizes the District to deposit its funds in one or more solvent banks or insured Federal savings and loans associations.

Note 1. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (Continued) E. Investments: Included in cash equivalents are items such as deposits with the Georgia local government investment pool and certificates of deposit. All of the District's investments as of June 30, 2015, were purchased with a maturity date less than one year from the date of purchase. These investments are stated at fair value. Investments made by the District in nonparticipating interest-earning contracts (such as certificates of deposit) and repurchase agreements are reported at cost. Both participating interest-earning contracts and money market investments with a maturity at purchase greater than one year are reported at fair value. The Official Code of Georgia Annotated Section 3683-4 authorizes the District to invest its funds. In selecting among options for investment or among institutional bids for deposits, the highest rate of return shall be the objective, given equivalent conditions of safety and liquidity. Funds may be invested in the following:
(1) Obligations issued by the State of Georgia or by other States, (2) Obligations issued by the United States government, (3) Obligations fully insured or guaranteed by the United States government or a United
States government agency, (4) Obligations of any corporation of the United States government, (5) Prime banker's acceptances, (6) The Local Government Investment Pool administered by the State Treasurer of the
State of Georgia. (7) Repurchase agreements, and, (8) Obligations of other political subdivisions of the State of Georgia.

G. Property Taxes:

The Cobb County Board of Commissioners fixed the property tax levy for the 2014 tax digest year (calendar year) in July 2014 (levy date) based on property values as of January 1, 2014. Taxes were due on October 15, 2014 (lien date). Taxes collected within the current fiscal year or within 60 days after year-end on the 2014 tax digest are reported as revenue in the governmental funds for fiscal year 2015. The Cobb County Tax Commissioner bills and collects the property taxes for the School District, withholds 1.6% of taxes collected as a fee for tax collection and remits the balance of taxes collected to the District. Property tax revenues during the fiscal year ended June 30, 2015 totaled $421,814,000.

School tax by law cannot be greater than 20 mills per dollar for the support and maintenance of education. Tax millage rates levied for the 2014 tax year (calendar year) for the Cobb County School District were as follows (a mill equals $1 per thousand dollars of assessed value):

H. Sales Taxes:
A one percent Special Purpose Local Option Sales Tax is to be used for capital outlay for educational purposes and debt service. The State will terminate collection of this tax once an additional $531,022,898 has been collected or on December 31, 2018, whichever occurs first.
I. Inventories:
On the district-wide financial statements, inventories of donated food commodities used in the preparation of meals are reported at their Federally assigned value and purchased foods inventories are reported at cost (first in-first out). The District uses the consumption method to account for inventories whereby donated food commodities are recorded as an asset and as revenue when received, and expenses are recorded as the inventory items are used. Purchased foods are recorded as an asset when purchased and expenses are recorded as the inventory items are used.
On the fund statements, inventories of governmental funds are reported at cost (first in-firstout). The District uses the consumption method to account for inventories whereby expenditures are recorded when inventory items are used.
J. Prepaid Items:
Payments made to vendors for services that will benefit periods subsequent to June 30, 2015, are recorded as prepaid, according to the consumption method.
K. Capital Assets:
Capital assets purchased, including capital outlay costs, are recorded as expenditures in the fund financial statements at the time of purchase. On the District-wide financial statements, all purchased capital assets are valued at cost where historical records are available and at estimated historical cost based on appraisals or deflated current replacement cost where no historical records exist. Donated capital assets are recorded at fair market value on the date donated. Disposals are deleted at depreciated recorded cost. The cost of normal maintenance and repairs that do not add to the value of assets or materially extend the useful lives of the assets is not capitalized. Depreciation is computed using the straight-line method.

L. Deferred Outflows/Inflows of Resources
Deferred outflows of resources represent a consumption of net position that applies to a future period (s) and so will not be recognized as an outflow of resources (expenses/ expenditures) until then.
Deferred inflows of resources represent an acquisition of net position that applies to a future period (s) and so will not be recognized as an inflow of resources (revenue) until that time. Other than pensions (described in note M below), Cobb County School District has one type of item, which arises only under a modified accrual basis of accounting, that qualifies for reporting in this category. Accordingly, the item, unavailable revenue, is reported only in the governmental funds balance sheet. Governmental funds report unavailable revenues from one source: property taxes. This amount is deferred and recognized as an inflow of resources in the period that the amounts become available.
M. Pensions
For purposes of measuring the net pension liability, deferred outflows of resources and deferred inflows of resources related to pensions, and pension expense, information about the fiduciary net position of the Teachers Retirement System of Georgia (TRS) and additions to/deductions from TRS's fiduciary net position have been determined on the same basis as they are reported by TRS. For this purpose, benefit payments (including refunds of employee contributions) are recognized when due and payable in accordance with the benefit terms. Investments are reported at fair value.

Note 1. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (Continued)
For purposes of measuring the net pension liability, deferred outflows of resources and deferred inflows of resources related to pensions, and pension expense, information about the fiduciary net position of the Employees' Retirement System (ERS) and additions to/deductions from ERS's fiduciary net position have been determined on the same basis as they are reported by ERS. For this purpose, benefit payments (including refunds of employee contributions) are recognized when due and payable in accordance with the benefit terms. Investments are reported at fair value.
For purposes of measuring the net pension liability, deferred outflows of resources and deferred inflows of resources related to pensions, and pension expense, information about the fiduciary net position of the Public School Employees Retirement System (PSERS) and additions to/deductions from PSERS's fiduciary net position have been determined on the same basis as they are reported by PSERS. For this purpose, benefit payments (including refunds of employee contributions) are recognized when due and payable in accordance with the benefit terms. Investments are reported at fair value.
N. Net Position:
The School District's net position in the District-wide Statements are classified as follows:
Investment in capital assets This represents the School District's total investment in capital assets, net of outstanding debt obligations, as applicable, related to those capital assets. To the extent debt has been incurred but not yet expended for capital assets, such amounts are not included as a component of net investment in capital assets.
Restricted net position These represent resources for which the School District is legally or contractually obligated to spend resources for capital projects and support of Federal Programs in accordance with restrictions imposed by external third parties.
Unrestricted net position Unrestricted net position represents resources derived from property taxes, sales, taxes, grants and contributions not restricted to specific programs, charges for services, and miscellaneous revenues. These resources are used for transactions relating to the educational and general operations of the School District, and may be used at the discretion of the Board to meet current expenses for those purposes.
36

COBB COUNTY SCHOOL DISTRICT Notes to the Basic Financial Statements JUNE 30, 2015
Note 1. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (Continued) O. Fund Balance: Fund equity at the governmental fund financial reporting level is classified as "fund balance". Fund equity for all other reporting is classified as "net position". Generally, fund balance represents the difference between the assets, liabilities, and deferred inflows of resources under the current financial resources measurement focus of accounting. In the fund financial statements, governmental funds report fund balance classifications that comprise a hierarchy based primarily on the extent to which the District is bound to honor constraints on the specific purposes for which amounts in those funds can be spent. The District's fund balances per Cobb County School District Board Policy DI, Accounting and Reporting, are classified as follows:
1) Non-spendable Fund Balance - Non-cash assets such as inventories or prepaid items. 2) Restricted Fund Balance - Funds with limitations imposed on their use by external
restrictions imposed by creditors, grantors, or laws or regulations of other governments. 3) Committed Fund Balance - Amounts that can only be used for specific purposes pursuant to a formal action of the Board of Education through a majority vote by June 30. Only the Board may modify or rescind the commitment. 4) Assigned Fund Balance - Amounts intended by the Board of Education for specific purposes, but are neither restricted or committed. The Board of Education can choose to delegate this authority. 5) Unassigned Fund Balance - Residual spendable fund balance after subtracting all above amounts. Positive unassigned values are only reported in the General Fund.
37

COBB COUNTY SCHOOL DISTRICT Notes to the Basic Financial Statements JUNE 30, 2015

Note 1. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (Continued)

Committed Fund Balances The Board of Education, as the government's highest level of decision-making authority, may commit fund balance by a formal action through the approval of a motion and prior to the government's fiscal year-end for that fiscal year. Future modification or rescission of committed funds must likewise be accomplished by a formal vote of the Board of Education prior to fiscal year-end. Pursuant to the requirements of Governmental Accounting Statement 54, the Board of Education, on June 8, 2011, committed substantially all of the revenue received by the following Special Revenue funds to be used exclusively for each respective program's expenditures.

Special Revenue Fund Donations
After School Program
Performing Arts / Artists at School Tuition School / Adult High School
Facility Use / Public Safety
Local Schools

Revenue Source Donations by individuals or organizations to
benefit school programs. Attendance and registration fees of After
School Program (ASP). Voluntary student contributions to fund Performing Arts Programs and donations to fund artist workshops at local schools.
User tuition charges and GED fees. User rental fees and student parking permit
fees. Funds earned or donated at local schools used by local principals to benefit students
and faculty subject to District policy.

Assigned Fund Balances The Board of Education, through resolution, delegates to the Superintendent, through the Chief Financial Officer, the authority to assign funds for particular purposes.

Spending Prioritization When expenditures are incurred by the District that would qualify for payment with either restricted or unrestricted funds, it will be paid from restricted funds. When an expenditure is incurred that qualifies for payment from either of the three unrestricted fund balance categories, it will be applied in the following order:

1) Committed 2) Assigned 3) Unassigned

38

COBB COUNTY SCHOOL DISTRICT Notes to the Basic Financial Statements JUNE 30, 2015

Note 1. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (Continued)

Minimum Unassigned General Fund Balance The Board of Education will strive to maintain a minimum unassigned general fund balance, less encumbrances, equivalent to a range of 30 to 55 days of annual expenditures unless this is unfeasible due to circumstances beyond its control such as:

a) A substantial decrease in the county property tax digest b) A substantial decrease in State funding c) An unanticipated fiscal necessity

Note 2. LEGAL COMPLIANCE BUDGETS:
The Board of Education budgets its operations on an annual basis for the General Fund and all Special Revenue Funds except the Local Schools Fund. Capital Projects Funds are budgeted on a multi-year, project-length basis. Prior to July 1 each year, the administration of the District submits a proposed budget to the Board of Education which conducts public hearings and legally adopts the budget. The administration then submits the adopted budget to the Georgia Department of Education for final approval.
The District prepares the budget on a basis other than accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (GAAP) as allowed by the State of Georgia. The District does not budget for other financing sources and uses, but rather budgets those as revenues and current expenditures of the funds. Appropriations not spent or encumbered lapse at year-end and encumbrances outstanding at that time are rebudgeted in the following fiscal year. Budget amendments which are funded through a decrease in fund balance must be approved by the Board of Education. All other budget amendments may be approved by the Superintendent or his designee.
The level of legal budgetary control (the level at which expenditures may not exceed appropriations) is at the function level within individual funds. Several supplementary appropriations were necessary during the fiscal year ended June 30, 2015.
For the year ended June 30, 2015, expenditures exceeded appropriations in several function areas (the legal level of budgetary control). These over-expenditures were offset by underexpenditures in other function areas within the same fund, or by revenues collected in excess of budgeted collections. The over-expenditures are identified in the following schedule:

Note 3. CASH EQUIVALENTS, DEPOSITS AND INVESTMENTS
COLLATERALIZATION OF DEPOSITS Official Code of Georgia Annotated (OCGA) Section 45-8-12 provides that there shall not be on deposit at any time in any depository for a time longer than ten days a sum of money which has not been secured by surety bond, by guarantee of insurance or by collateral. The aggregate of the face value of such surety bond and the market value of securities pledged shall be equal to not less than 110 percent of the public funds being secured after the deduction of the amount of deposit insurance. If a depository elects the pooled method (OCGA 45-8-13.1) the aggregate of the market value of the securities pledged to secure a pool of public funds shall be not less than 110 percent of the daily pool balance. OCGA Section 45-8-11 (b) provides an officer holding public funds may, in his discretion, waive the requirement for security in the case of operating funds placed in demand deposit checking accounts.
Acceptable security for deposits consists of any one of or any combination of the following:
(1) Surety bond signed by a surety company duly qualified and authorized to transact business within the State of Georgia,
(2) Insurance on accounts provided by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation,
(3) Bonds, bills, notes, certificates of indebtedness or other direct obligations of the United States or of the State of Georgia,
(4) Bonds, bills, notes, certificates of indebtedness or other obligations of the counties or municipalities of the State of Georgia,
(5) Bonds of any public authority created by the laws of the State of Georgia, providing that the statute that created the authority authorized the use of the bonds for this purpose,
(6) Industrial revenue bonds and bonds of development authorities created by the laws of the State of Georgia, and
(7) Bonds, bills, notes, certificates of indebtedness, or other obligations of a subsidiary corporation of the United States government, which are fully guaranteed by the United States government both as to principal and interest or debt obligations issued by the Federal Land Bank, the Federal Home Loan Bank, the Federal Intermediate Credit Bank, the Central Bank for Cooperatives, the Farm Credit Banks, the Federal Home Loan Mortgage Association, and the Federal National Mortgage Association.
41

COBB COUNTY SCHOOL DISTRICT Notes to the Basic Financial Statements JUNE 30, 2015
Note 3. CASH EQUIVALENTS, DEPOSITS AND INVESTMENTS (Continued)
Cash Equivalents and Deposits
Cash equivalents consist of bank checking, savings, money-market accounts, and certificate of deposits.
Custodial credit risk-deposits and investments
Custodial credit risk is the risk that in the event of bank failure, the District's cash equivalents and deposits may not be returned to the District. At June 30, 2015, the District had deposits with a carrying amount of $304,497,884 and a bank balance of $311,665,700. The bank balance was entirely covered by Federal depository insurance, by collateral held by the District or the District's agent in the District's name, or by a multiple financial institution collateral pool authorized by the State of Georgia that insures public deposits.
The District has no custodial credit risk since there are no uncollateralized or uninsured securities not in the District's name.
Investments
As of June 30, 2015, the District's investments included $100 in an investment pool account called Georgia Fund One, the combined state general fund and local government investment pool managed by the Office of the State Treasurer. On that date, these funds had a weighted average maturity of 56 days. In addition, the District had $431,458 in certificates of deposit in various financial institutions. These investments are reported as cash equivalents. Credit Risk
The District's investment policy is to apply the prudent investor rule which states "investments shall be made with judgment and care, under circumstances when prevailing, which persons of prudence, discretion and intelligence exercise in the management of their own affairs, not for speculation, but for investment, considering the primary objective of safety of capital as well as the objective of obtaining a market rate of return."
The policy of the District is to invest funds with larger banking institutions which are able to collateralize the public funds at 110%. Any bid to purchase securities must be from a broker/dealer who is a member of the NASD and SIPC and have a major presence in the metropolitan area.
42

COBB COUNTY SCHOOL DISTRICT Notes to the Basic Financial Statements JUNE 30, 2015
Note 3. CASH EQUIVALENTS, DEPOSITS AND INVESTMENTS (Continued) The District's investment in Georgia Fund One, the State of Georgia Investment Pool, was rated AAAf by Standard & Poor's. The Office of the State Treasurer is the oversight agency for Georgia Fund One. Concentration of Credit Risk Concentration of credit risk is defined as investments of more than 5% in any one issuer. Georgia Fund One is excluded from the requirement of disclosing concentration of credit risk. The Georgia Fund One's primary objectives are safety of capital, investment income, liquidity and diversification while maintaining principal ($1 per share value). Net asset value is calculated weekly to ensure stability. The pool distributes earnings (net of management fees) on a monthly basis and determines participant's shares sold and redeemed based on $1 per share and are reported at fair market value. As of June 30, 2015, the District considers amounts held in Georgia Fund 1 as cash equivalents for financial statement presentation. Interest Rate Risk In accordance with its investment policy, the District will minimize interest rate risk, which is the risk that the market value of securities in the portfolio will fall due to changes in market interest rates, by structuring the investment portfolio so that securities mature to meet cash requirements for ongoing operations, thereby avoiding the need to sell securities in the open market, and investment operating funds primarily in money market funds or similar investment pools and limiting the average maturity in accordance with the District's cash requirements. Foreign Currency Risk The District is not authorized to invest in investments which have this type of risk.
Note 4. NON-MONETARY TRANSACTIONS: The District received food commodities from the United States Department of Agriculture (USDA) for school breakfast and lunch programs. See Note 1 Inventories

Note 6. INTERFUND ASSETS AND LIABILITIES:
Interfund receivable and payable balances result from the time lag between the dates that (1) interfund goods and services are provided or reimbursable expenditures occur, (2) transactions are recorded in the accounting system, and (3) payments between funds are made. All interfund balances will be paid within one year. The $9,636,000 receivable due to the General Fund from various nonmajor governmental funds was primarily for the financing of federal and state grant expenditures whose reimbursement was pending at yearend, as detailed below. The $175,000 receivable due to Local Schools from the General Fund largely represented local school cash funds invested during the summer, to be repaid with interest after the start of school. The $5,000 receivable in two proprietary funds due from the General Fund represented allocated charges for unemployment and workers compensation benefits. Interfund receivable and payable balances by fund as of June 30, 2015 are disclosed in the following schedule:

Note 7. INTERFUND TRANSFERS:

Interfund transfers are used to (1) move revenues from the fund that statute or budget requires to collect them to the fund that statute or budget requires to expend them and (2) to use unrestricted revenues in the general fund to finance various programs accounted for in other funds in accordance with budgetary authorizations. The transfer from the General Fund to the County Wide Building Fund was for the purchase of land for future use at a school site and for portable classroom expenditures. The remaining transfers out of the General Fund were to provide needed supplemental funding of various school support services. The two transfers in to the General Fund from nonmajor governmental funds represented excess uncommitted revenue above program expenditures that was returned to benefit the various instructional and support services of the District.

Interfund transfers for the year ended June 30, 2015, consisted of the following:

Note 8. RISK MANAGEMENT
The District is self-insured for all claims under general liability, vehicle accidents and workers compensation. The District maintains a policy for excess workers compensation. The District is commercially insured for property, contents and boiler and carries fidelity bond coverage for employee dishonesty, in addition to a state-mandated Superintendent's bond and school principals' bond.
Premiums are paid into Internal Service funds by user funds and are available to pay claims and administrative costs of the program and establish claim reserves. These interfund premiums are recognized as revenue in the internal service funds. Actuarial analysis provides estimated ultimate losses for workers compensation and automobile liability, which are then converted to present values using an interest rate of 3%.

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 receivable at June 30, 2015, 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 combined financial statements for such contingencies.
The District is a defendant in various lawsuits. Although the outcome of these lawsuits is not presently determinable, in the opinion of the District's attorney and management, the resolution of these matters will not have a material adverse effect on the financial condition of the District.
Note 12. COMPENSATED ABSENCES:
It is the District's policy to allow employees to accumulate earned but unused vacation benefits. Employees are compensated for qualifying vacation benefits upon termination of their employment with the District. A liability for these vacation benefits is accrued and includes social security, medicare, and workers compensation payroll taxes. Employees are not compensated for sick leave benefits upon termination of their employment. Therefore, no liability is reported for earned but unused sick leave benefits.

Teachers Retirement System of Georgia (TRS):
Plan Description
Substantially all teachers, administrators and clerical personnel are members of this costsharing multiple-employer defined benefit public employee retirement system. TRS was created in 1943 by an act of the Georgia General Assembly and is administered by a ten member Board of Trustees. TRS is funded by a combination of employee, employer and State of Georgia contributions. Benefits are established by State statute and provide retirement, death, long-term disability, survivor and health insurance premium benefits. TRS issues a publicly available financial report that can be obtained at www.trsga.com/publications.
Benefits Provided
TRS retirement benefits are determined as 2 % of the average of the employee's two highest paid consecutive years of service, multiplied by the number of years of creditable service up to 40 years. An employee is eligible for normal service retirement after 30 years of creditable service, regardless of age, or after 10 years of service and attainment of age 60. Ten years of service is required for disability and death benefits eligibility. Disability benefits are based on the employee's creditable service and compensation up to the time of disability. Death benefits equal the amount that would be payable to the employee's beneficiary had the employee retired on the date of death. Death benefits are based on the employee's creditable service and compensation up to the date of death.

Actuarial assumptions: The total pension liability as of June 30, 2014 was determined by an actuarial valuation as of June 30, 2013 using the following actuarial assumptions, applied to all periods included in the measurement:

Inflation Salary increases Investment rate of return

3.00% 3.75-7.00%, average, including inflation 7.50%, net of pension plan investment expense including inflation

Mortality rates were based on the RP-2000 Combined Mortality Table for Males or Females set back two years for males and set back three years for females.

The actuarial assumptions used in the June 30, 2013 valuation were based on the results of an actuarial experience study for the period July 1, 2004 June 30, 2009.
The long-term expected rate of return on pension plan investments was determined using a log-normal distribution analysis in which best-estimate ranges of expected future real rates of return (expected nominal returns, net of pension plan investment expense and the assumed rate of inflation) are developed for each major asset class. These ranges are combined to produce the long-term expected rate of return by weighting the expected future real rates of return by the target asset allocation percentage and by adding expected inflation. The target allocation and best estimates of arithmetic real rates of return for each major asset class are summarized in the following table:

Note 13. RETIREMENT PLANS (Continued)
Discount rate: The discount rate used to measure the total pension liability was 7.50 %. The projection of cash flows used to determine the discount rate assumed that plan member contributions will be made at the current contribution rate and that employer and State of Georgia contributions will be made at rates equal to the difference between actuarially determined contribution rates and the member rate. Based on those assumptions, the pension plan's fiduciary net position was projected to be available to make all projected future benefit payments of current plan members. Therefore, the long- term expected rate of return on pension plan investments was applied to all periods of projected benefit payments to determine the total pension liability.
Sensitivity of the District's proportionate share of the net pension liability to changes in the discount rate: The following presents the District's proportionate share of the net pension liability calculated using the discount rate of 7.50 %, as well as what the District's proportionate share of the net pension liability would be if it were calculated using a discount rate that is one percentage point lower (6.50%) or one percentage point higher (8.50%) than the current rate:

Employee Retirement System of Georgia (ERS):
Plan Description
ERS is a cost-sharing multiple-employer defined benefit pension plan established by the Georgia General Assembly during the 1949 Legislative Session for the purpose of providing retirement allowances for employees of the State of Georgia and its political subdivisions. ERS is directed by a Board of Trustees. Title 47 of the O.C.G.A. assigns the authority to establish and amend the benefit provisions to the State Legislature. ERS issues a publicly available financial report that can be obtained at www.ers.ga.gov/formspubs/formspubs.
Benefits Provided
The ERS Plan supports three benefit tiers: Old Plan, New Plan, and Georgia State Employees' Pension and Savings Plan (GSEPS). Employees under the old plan started membership prior to July 1, 1982 and are subject to plan provisions in effect prior to July 1, 1982. Members hired on or after July 1, 1982 but prior to January 1, 2009 are new plan members subject to modified plan provisions. Effective January 1, 2009, new state employees and rehired state employees who did not retain membership rights under the Old or New Plans are members of GSEPS. ERS members hired prior to January 1, 2009 also have the option to irrevocably change their membership to GSEPS.
Under the old plan, the new plan, and GSEPS, a member may retire and receive normal retirement benefits after completion of 10 years of creditable service and attainment of age 60 or 30 years of creditable service regardless of age. Additionally, there are some provisions allowing for early retirement after 25 years of creditable service for members under age 60.
Retirement benefits paid to members are based upon the monthly average of the member's highest 24 consecutive calendar months, multiplied by the number of years of creditable service, multiplied by the applicable benefit factor. Annually, postretirement cost-of-living adjustments may also be made to members' benefits, provided the members were hired prior to July 1, 2009. The normal retirement pension is payable monthly for life; however, options are available for distribution of the member's monthly pension, at reduced rates, to a designated beneficiary upon the member's death. Death and disability benefits are also available through ERS.

COBB COUNTY SCHOOL DISTRICT Notes to the Basic Financial Statements JUNE 30, 2015
Note 13. RETIREMENT PLANS (Continued) Funding Policy Member contributions under the old plan are 4% of annual compensation, up to $4,200, plus 6% of annual compensation in excess of $4,200. Under the old plan, the state pays member contributions in excess of 1.25% of annual compensation. Under the old plan, these state contributions are included in the members' accounts for refund purposes and are used in the computation of the members' earnable compensation for the purpose of computing retirement benefits. Member contributions under the new plan and GSEPS are 1.25% of annual compensation. The District's contractually required contribution rate, actuarially determined annually, for the year ended June 30, 2015 was 21.96% of annual covered payroll for old and new plan members and 18.87% for GSEPS members. The District's contributions to ERS totaled $10,848 for the year ended June 30, 2015. Contributions are expected to finance the costs of benefits earned by employees during the year, with an additional amount to finance any unfunded accrued liability. Pension Liabilities, Pension Expense, and Deferred Outflows of Resources and Deferred Inflows of Resources Related to Pensions At June 30, 2015, the District reported a liability for its proportionate share of the net pension liability of $77,375.

Public School Employee Retirement System of Georgia (PSERS):
Plan Description
PSERS is a cost-sharing multiple-employer defined benefit pension plan established by the Georgia General Assembly in 1969 for the purpose of providing retirement allowances for public school employees who are not eligible for membership in the Teachers Retirement System of Georgia. These employees include bus drivers, maintenance, custodial, and lunchroom personnel. The ERS Board of Trustees, plus two additional trustees, administers PSERS. Title 47 of the O.C.G.A. assigns the authority to establish and amend the benefit provisions to the State Legislature. PSERS issues a publicly available financial report that can be obtained at www.ers.ga.gov/formspubs/formspubs.
Benefits Provided
A member may retire and elect to receive normal monthly retirement benefits after completion of ten years of creditable service and attainment of age 65. A member may choose to receive reduced benefits after age 60 and upon completion of ten years of service.
Upon retirement, the member will receive a monthly benefit of $14.75, multiplied by the number of years of creditable service. Death and disability benefits are also available through PSERS. Additionally, PSERS may make periodic cost-of-living adjustments to the monthly benefits. Upon termination of employment, member contributions with accumulated interest are refundable upon request by the member. However, if an otherwise vested member terminates and withdraws his/her member contribution, the member forfeits all rights to retirement benefits.
Funding Policy
The general assembly makes an annual appropriation to cover the employer contribution to PSERS on behalf of local school employees (bus drivers, cafeteria workers, and maintenance staff). The annual employer contribution required by statute is actuarially determined and paid directly to PSERS by the State Treasurer in accordance with O.C.G.A. 47-4-29(a) and 60(b). Contributions are expected to finance the costs of benefits earned by employees during the year, with an additional amount to finance any unfunded accrued liability.

COBB COUNTY SCHOOL DISTRICT Notes to the Basic Financial Statements JUNE 30, 2015
Note 13. RETIREMENT PLANS (Continued)
Plan members who became members prior to July 1, 2012 contribute $4 per month for nine months each fiscal year. Individuals who became members on or after July 1, 2012 contribute $10 per month for nine months each fiscal year. The State of Georgia, although not the employer of PSERS members, is required by statute to make employer contributions actuarially determined and approved and certified by the PSERS Board of Trustees. The District does not make an annual contribution to PSERS.
Employees who are covered by PSERS are eligible to participate in a supplemental defined contribution plan. If the employee contributes 1% of salary to the 403b plan administered by VALIC, s/he will receive a contribution equal to 2% of salary each month to match, for a total contribution of 3% of salary. The District's contributions to PSERS for the year ended June 30, 2015 was $631,785 with an average number of participants of 1,407.
Pension Liabilities and Pension Expense
At June 30, 2015, the District did not have a liability for a proportionate share of the net pension liability because of the related State of Georgia support. The amount of the State's proportionate share of the net pension liability associated with the District is as follows:

State of Georgia's porportionate share of the Net Pension Liability associated with the District

Note 13. RETIREMENT PLANS (Continued)
Discount rate: The discount rate used to measure the total pension liability was 7.50%. The projection of cash flows used to determine the discount rate assumed that plan member contributions will be made at the current contribution rate and that employer and nonemployer contributions will be made at rates equal to the difference between actuarially determined contribution rates and the member rate. Based on those assumptions, the pension plan's fiduciary net position was projected to be available to make all projected future benefit payments of current plan members. Therefore, the long-term expected rate of return on pension plan investments was applied to all periods of projected benefit payments to determine the total pension liability.
Note 14. POSTEMPLOYMENT BENEFITS:
Georgia Retiree Health Benefit Fund
Plan Description
The District contributes to the Georgia School Personnel Postemployment Health Benefit Fund (the "Benefit Fund"), a cost-sharing multiple-employer defined benefit postemployment healthcare plan administered by the Department of Community Health. The Benefit Fund provides health insurance benefits to eligible retirees and their qualified beneficiaries. Pursuant to Title 45, Chapter 18 of the Official Code of Georgia Annotated, the authority to establish and amend the benefit provisions of the plan is assigned to the Board of Community Health. The Department of Community Health issues a publicly available financial report that includes financial statements and required supplementary information for the Benefit Fund. That report may be obtained from the Department of Community Health at 2 Peachtree Street, Atlanta, Georgia 30303.
Funding Policy
The contribution requirements of plan members and participating employers are established by the Board in accordance with the current Appropriations Act and may be amended by the Board. Contributions of plan members or beneficiaries receiving benefits vary based on plan election, dependent coverage, and Medicare eligibility and election. On average, plan members pay approximately twenty-three percent (23%) of the cost of health insurance coverage. Participating employers are statutorily required to contribute in accordance with the employer contribution rates established by the Board.
62

COBB COUNTY SCHOOL DISTRICT Notes to the Basic Financial Statements JUNE 30, 2015
Note 14. POSTEMPLOYMENT BENEFITS (Continued):
The contribution rate is established to fund both the active and retired employee health insurance plans based on projected "pay-as-you-go" financing requirements. Contributions are not based on the actuarially calculated annual required contribution (ARC) which represents a level of funding that, if paid on an ongoing basis, is projected to cover normal cost each year and amortize any unfunded actuarial liabilities (or funding excess) over a period not to exceed thirty years.
The combined rates for the active and retiree contribution rates established by the Board for employees participating in the SHBP were as follows for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2015:

Certified Employees July 2014 June 2015
Non-Certified Employees July 2014 June 2015

$945.00 per member per month $596.20 per member per month

No additional contribution was required by the Board for fiscal year 2015 nor contributed to the GRHBP to prefund retiree benefits. Such additional contribution amounts are determined annually by the Board in accordance with the State plan for other postemployment benefits and are subject to appropriation.
The School District's combined active and retiree contributions to the health insurance plans, which equaled the required contribution, for the current fiscal year and the preceding two fiscal years were as follows:

Fiscal Year 2015 2014 2013

Contribution $ 101,172,545 $ 97,431,371 $ 91,313,591

Note 15. CHANGE IN ACCOUNTING PRINCIPLE:
In connection with the implementation of Governmental Accounting Standards Board (GASB) Statement No. 68, Accounting and Financial Reporting for Pensions an amendment of GASB Statement No.27, and Statement No. 71, Pension Transition for Contributions Made Subsequent to the Measurement Date an amendment of GASB Statement No. 68, the District is required to change its accounting treatment of pension liabilities and the related pension expense. The new standard requires that the District's proportionate share of the net pension liability be recorded on the Statement of Net Position.
Therefore, in conjunction with the implementation of Statements 68 and 71, the following restatement was required to the beginning net position of Governmental Activities to properly recognize the District's net pension liability and related deferred outflows of resources for contributions made subsequent to the measurement date as of the end of the prior year:

(a) Implementation of GASB Statement No. 54: Fund Balance Reporting and Governmental Fund Type Definitions began July 1, 2010. Statement No. 54 provides clarification and transparency to fund balance classifications. The new standard changes overall definitions and classifications of governmental fund balance. Prior to these classifications, fund balance was separated into two groups, Reserved and Unreserved. Under GASB No. 54, the District's fund balance is classified as follows:
1) Nonspendable Fund Balance - Noncash assets, such as inventories and prepaid items. 2) Restricted Fund Balance - Funds with limitations imposed on their use by external restrictions. 3) Committed Fund Balance - Amounts that can only be used for specific purposes pursuant to a formal vote of the Cobb
County Board of Education. 4) Assigned Fund Balance - Amounts designated by the Board of Education for specific purposes. 5) Unassigned Fund Balance - Residual, spendable fund balance after subtracting categories listed above.

Note: Prior to 2008, the property digest for debt service of school bonds included properties annexed by the City of Marietta that were no longer taxed for general operations but were still taxed for unpaid school bonds issued before the date of annexation. Taxes levied for debt service were discontinued in July 2007 after bonds were fully paid in fiscal year 2007. Prior to 2008, Maintenance and Operations assessments were included in the bonds amount; however, in 2008 through 2012, only the M & O is reflected.
Property Taxes - Assessments are based on 40% of the appraised market value as of January 1 each year. Source: Office of Tax Commissioner, Cobb County
