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 of the Cobb County School District (District) for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2022. 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 25th largest in the United States with an active daily enrollment of 106,601. 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 appoints a chairperson and vice-chairperson. The Board appoints a Superintendent to oversee the day-to-day administration of the School District.
BOARD OF EDUCATION SUPERINTENDENT
David Chastain, Chair David Banks, Vice Chair Randy Scamihorn Jaha Howard Leroy Tre' Hutchins Charisse Davis Brad Wheeler
Chris Ragsdale
Mr. Chris Ragsdale currently serves as the Superintendent of the Cobb County School District. 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 and is also the recipient of Kennesaw State University's Distinguished Alumni Award. He has more than two decades of experience in school operations and information technology in the public and private sectors, including roles as Chief Information Officer for nearby Paulding County Schools and in network and database management for Bellsouth (AT&T) and IBM.
The District prides itself on providing a quality educational experience to all our students, while efficiently managing our resources. Here are a few of the many accomplishments from the 2022 fiscal year:
The District average score on the SAT of 1,111 was 59 points higher than the state average and 83 points higher than the national average.
The four-year graduation rate for Cobb high schools was 87.4% in 2022. Cobb exceeds the state graduation rate of 84.1% by 3.3 percentage points.
The Cobb County School District has consistently been ranked by Forbes as one of America's "Best-in-State Employers" for four straight years, from 2019 to 2022.
The District has earned the highest possible credit rating from three nationally recognized bond rating agencies: Moody's Investor's Service, Standard & Poor's, and Kroll Credit Rating Agency. Cobb County School District is the only school district in the USA with this distinction.
More details may be obtained through the District's Communications Department.
The District has reviewed its operating entity definition 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. While General Fund and Special Revenue Fund budgets are reported at the function level within individual funds, the level of budgetary control (that is, the level at which expenditures cannot legally exceed the appropriated amount) is at the fund level. In the event expenditures exceed appropriations in a function area, they must be offset by under-expenditures in other function areas within the same 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 2021 Cobb County continued its trend of a growing population, which increased from 707,277 in 2012 to 766,802 in 2021. The unemployment rate for 2021 was 3.3%.
Student enrollment in fiscal year 2022 was 106,601, which is consistent with fiscal year 2021 of 106,983. Student enrollment in fiscal year 2024 is projected to increase to 111,530, a reversal of the enrollment decreases experienced during the pandemic. A schedule of District school buildings and their ages can be found on pages 148-155.
We are pleased by the positive increase in property values in fiscal year 2022 and expect this trend to continue into fiscal year 2023, thereby providing a stable and growing revenue source. In fiscal year 2022 the District's assessed real property values increased by 6.5% from the prior year. ______________________________________________________________________________
LONG-TERM FINANCIAL PLANNING ______________________________________________________________________________
The District anticipates continuing to meet its projected capital improvement needs by means of county special sales tax revenues. The current Ed-SPLOST V special sales tax will continue to fund capital improvement needs of the District through December 2023. We are grateful for our citizens' approval of the Ed-SPLOST VI capital financing initiative in November of 2021, with more than 72% of the vote. Ed-SPLOST VI will enable the financing of new schools and provide for needed building improvements to existing schools, beginning January 1, 2024, and ending December 31, 2028. Some specific projects that will be funded by ED-SPLOST VI include the construction of a new elementary school in south Cobb, the construction of a second Career Academy in north Cobb, and a major facility upgrade for Sprayberry High School. Infrastructure improvements and technology upgrades will also be funded through ED-SPLOST VI.
The District anticipates acquiring a short-term construction loan in the next fiscal year, which will expedite the completion of various construction projects authorized by the current SPLOST V Special Sales Tax Initiative. The District's exceptional Aaa credit rating, first issued by Moody's in 2015, and most recently reaffirmed in 2021, should qualify the District for a competitive interest rate. Since 2015, the District has also received exceptional credit ratings from two other nationally recognized credit agencies, Standard & Poor's, and Kroll Bond Rating Agency. ______________________________________________________________________________
OTHER INFORMATION ______________________________________________________________________________
New Educational Model: The Cobb County School District has now completed its fifth year as a Strategic Waiver School System. This model offers greater ability to develop customized student achievement plans for individual schools.

Additionally, the District's comprehensive annual financial report received the Association of School Business Officials' (ASBO) Certificate of Excellence in Financial Reporting every year since 1984.
These prestigious awards are made only to government units which publish a comprehensive annual financial report that is easily readable, efficiently organized, and conforming to program standards and satisfies generally accepted accounting principles and applicable legal requirements.

INDEPENDENT AUDITOR'S REPORT
To the Superintendent and Members of the Cobb County Board of Education Marietta, Georgia
Report on the Audit of the Financial Statements Opinion 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, 2022, 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. 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, 2022, and the respective changes in financial position, and, where applicable, cash flows thereof and the budgetary comparisons for the General Fund and the ARPA Fund, for the year then ended in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.
Basis for Opinions We conducted our audit in accordance with auditing standards generally accepted in the United States of America (GAAS) and the standards applicable to financial audits contained in Government Auditing Standards, issued by the Comptroller General of the United States (Government Auditing Standards). Our responsibilities under those standards are further described in the Auditor's Responsibilities for the Audit of the Financial Statements section of our report. We are required to be independent of the Cobb County Board of Education and to meet our other ethical responsibilities, in accordance with the relevant ethical requirements relating to our audit. We believe that the audit evidence we have obtained is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our audit opinions.
Emphasis of Matter As described in Note 17 to the financial statements, the Cobb County Board of Education implemented Governmental Accounting Standards Board (GASB) Statement No. 87, Leases, as of July 1, 2021. This standard significantly changed the accounting for the Cobb County Board of Education's leases. Our opinions are not modified with respect to this matter.

Responsibilities of Management for the Financial Statements
Management is responsible for the preparation and fair presentation of the financial statements in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America, and for 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.
In preparing the financial statements, management is required to evaluate whether there are conditions or events, considered in the aggregate, that raise substantial doubt about the Cobb County Board of Education's ability to continue as a going concern for twelve months beyond the financial statement date, including any currently known information that may raise substantial doubt shortly thereafter.
Auditor's Responsibilities for the Audit of the Financial Statements
Our objectives are to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements as a whole are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error, and to issue an auditor's report that includes our opinions. Reasonable assurance is a high level of assurance but is not absolute assurance and therefore is not a guarantee that an audit conducted in accordance with GAAS and Government Auditing Standards will always detect a material misstatement when it exists. The risk of not detecting a material misstatement resulting from fraud is higher than for one resulting from error, as fraud may involve collusion, forgery, intentional omissions, misrepresentations, or the override of internal control. Misstatements are considered material if there is a substantial likelihood that, individually or in the aggregate, they would influence the judgment made by a reasonable user based on the financial statements.
In performing an audit in accordance with GAAS and Government Auditing Standards, we:
Exercise professional judgment and maintain professional skepticism throughout the audit.
Identify and assess the risks of material misstatement of the financial statements, whether due to fraud or error, and design and perform audit procedures responsive to those risks. Such procedures include examining, on a test basis, evidence regarding the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements.
Obtain an understanding of internal control relevant to the audit 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 Cobb County Board of Education's internal control. Accordingly, no such opinion is expressed.
Evaluate the appropriateness of accounting policies used and the reasonableness of significant accounting estimates made by management, as well as evaluate the overall presentation of the financial statements.
Conclude whether, in our judgment, there are conditions or events, considered in the aggregate, that raise substantial doubt about the Cobb County Board of Education's ability to continue as a going concern for a reasonable period of time.
2
We are required to communicate with those charged with governance regarding, among other matters, the planned scope and timing of the audit, significant audit findings, and certain internal control-related matters that we identified during the audit.
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 Public School Employee Retirement System of Georgia, Schedule of Proportionate Share of the Net OPEB Liability School OPEB Fund, and the Schedule of Contributions School OPEB Fund, as listed in the table of contents, be presented to supplement the basic financial statements. Such information is the responsibility of management and, 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 GAAS, 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.
Supplementary 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 IV schedule of expenditures of Special Purpose Local Option Sales Tax Projects, and the SPLOST V schedule of expenditures of Special Purpose Local Option Sales Tax Projects are presented for purposes of additional analysis and are not a required part of the basic financial statements. Such information is the responsibility of management and was derived from and relates directly to the underlying accounting and other records used to prepare the basic financial statements. The 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 IV schedule of expenditures of Special Purpose Local Option Sales Tax Projects, and the SPLOST V 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.
3
Other Information Management is responsible for the other information included in the annual report. The other information comprises the introductory and statistical sections but does not include the basic financial statements and our auditor's report thereon. Our opinions on the basic financial statements do not cover the other information, and we do not express an opinion or any form of assurance thereon. In connection with our audit of the basic financial statements, our responsibility is to read the other information and consider whether a material inconsistency exists between the other information and the basic financial statements, or the other information otherwise appears to be materially misstated. If, based on the work performed, we conclude that an uncorrected material misstatement of the other information exists, we are required to describe it in our report. Other Reporting Required by Government Auditing Standards In accordance with Government Auditing Standards, we have also issued our report dated November 18, 2022, 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 solely to describe the scope of our testing of internal control over financial reporting and compliance and the results of that testing, and not to provide an opinion on the effectiveness of the Cobb County Board of Education's 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, 2022
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, 2022. 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 fiscal year 2022 are as follows:
Total net position increased from $230.1 million in fiscal year 2021 to $532.3 million in fiscal year 2022, an increase of $302.2 million, primarily due to increased District cash from increased property and sales taxes, as well as favorable adjustments to actuarially estimated future long-term pension and post-employment costs.
Total revenue increased from $1,586.2 million in fiscal year 2021 to $1,702.6 million in fiscal year 2022, an increase of $116.4 million. The revenue increase was from several sources. Local property tax revenue increased substantially due to a significant increase in the property tax digest. SPLOST sales taxes also increased substantially as the economy rebounded from the pandemic. Revenue generated at local schools increased with the resumption of the full array of student activities, such as field trips, athletic events, and other after-school programs.
Total expenses decreased from $1,531.4 million in fiscal year 2021 to $1,398.7 million in fiscal year 2022, a decrease of $132.7 million. The decrease in expense was largely due to a significant decrease of pension and post-employment benefits costs, a consequence of favorable actuarial assumptions.
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.
5
COBB COUNTY SCHOOL DISTRICT Management's Discussion and Analysis
JUNE 30, 2022
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.
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 two categories: governmental funds and proprietary 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 on 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.

COBB COUNTY SCHOOL DISTRICT Management's Discussion and Analysis
JUNE 30, 2022 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 fiscal year 2021 and fiscal year 2022. In fiscal year 2022, the District's net position increased 132.1%, or $303.9 million, over the prior year. Due to revised actuarial assumptions, current year pension and OPEB (Other Post-Employment Employer Benefits) expense decreased significantly. Also, revised future projections significantly decreased both pension and OPEB liabilities. Total current and other assets reflected a net increase of 20.5%, or $144.6 million, largely due to an increase in cash and receivables from higher state QBE funding and increased property tax revenue due to a significant increase in the real property tax digest. SPLOST sales tax revenue also increased significantly. Capital Assets increased by 1.0%, or $17.0 million, which was chiefly attributable to both new construction and capital improvements to local school buildings financed by SPLOST sales taxes. Governmental accounting standards require the District to report its proportional liability of state-administered pension plans and now the proportional liability of post-employment Benefits, namely retiree health insurance.

COBB COUNTY SCHOOL DISTRICT Management's Discussion and Analysis
JUNE 30, 2022 Changes in Net Position from Operating Results The Changes in Net Position from Operating Results Table (Table II), presented on the following page, summarizes and compares the Statement of Activities for fiscal year 2021 and fiscal year 2022. Revenues In fiscal year 2022, the District's total revenues increased 7.3%, or $116.3 million, over the prior year due primarily to increases in federal grant funding and increased property tax revenue.
Charges for services increased by 92.5% or $23.4 million, primarily due to increased school activities, which had been curtailed during the pandemic.
Operating grants and contributions increased by 2.0%, or $15.6 million, largely due to the partial restoration of a State QBE austerity funding cut in the prior year and continued increased federal funding, most notably from the American Rescue Plan Act (ARPA).
Capital grants and contributions increased by 634.8%, or $14.6 million, largely because of equipment purchased through the federal COVID-19 Emergency Connectivity Fund Program Grant.
Tax revenue increased 7.9%, or $61.6 million, largely due to a 6.5% increase in the real property tax digest, as well as increased SPLOST sales tax revenue, as the local economy rebounded.
Interest income increased 142.9%, or $1.0 million, due primarily to rising market interest rates.
Other revenue increased by 6.7%, or $0.1 million. Sale of retired fixed assets generates a major portion of this revenue category.

COBB COUNTY SCHOOL DISTRICT Management's Discussion and Analysis
JUNE 30, 2022 Expenses In fiscal year 2022, the District's total expenses decreased 8.7%, or $132.8 million, due primarily to the allocation of lower pension and OPEB costs, resulting from favorable actuarial assumptions. Below we discuss the expense categories which experienced an increase.
Student transportation increased by 3.1%, or $1.8 million, largely due to increased fuel prices, as well as the 4.0% salary increase for all permanent employees.
Maintenance and operations increased by 1.8% or $2.1 million, primarily due to higher operating costs, such as higher utility costs, and higher costs of materials, resulting from supply chain issues. Salary expense increased from the 4.0% salary increase.
Student activities increased by 101.8% or $11.0 million, primarily resulting from associated costs of providing greatly increased student activities, such as field trips, athletic events, and other after-school programs.

COBB COUNTY SCHOOL DISTRICT Management's Discussion and Analysis
JUNE 30, 2022
Governmental Activities
The Net Cost of Governmental Activities Table (Table III) presents the total and net cost of eight major District activities for fiscal year ended June 30, 2022: Instruction, Pupil Services, Instructional Services, School and Administrative Services, Student Transportation, Maintenance and Operations, Student Activities, and Interest and Fiscal Charges.
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 fiscal year 2022 was $1,398.7 million. Users of the District's programs financed $48.8 million of the costs. Federal and State grants, subsidized programs and contributions funded $805.8 million of the costs. Lastly, District taxpayers financed the remaining costs of fiscal year 2022, which totaled $544.2 million.
The School District's Funds
The District ended fiscal year 2022 with a healthy fund balance in its governmental funds. The combined balance of all governmental funds, at $546.2 million, was 31.1% higher than 2021's ending balance of $416.5 million. The General Fund's fund balance increased by $32.9 million, or 9.4%, due primarily to increased state and federal funding and greater property tax revenue. SPLOST V, the District's primary capital improvement fund, had an ending fund balance of $100.3 million, which was 248.3% higher than 2021's ending balance of $28.8 million, due primarily to increased SPLOST sales tax revenue, as the economy rebounded from the pandemic. The System Wide/County-Wide Fund increased its fund balance by 953.8% from the prior year, or $0.1 million, primarily from increased interest income, as market interest rates rose substantially as the Federal Reserve increased the reserve interest rate, to combat historically high inflation. The American Rescue Plan Act (ARPA) Fund primarily funded student instructional services and programs designed to offset learning loss experienced by students during the Covid-19 pandemic. This fund had total expenditures of $72.4 million in fiscal year 2022 and was a major source of federal revenue for the District. The nonmajor governmental fund balances increased in the aggregate by $26.9 million, or 72.9%.
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.
The final amended budget for revenues was unchanged from the original budget, at $1.2 billion. The final amended budget for expenditures was only 1.9% greater in total than the
13
COBB COUNTY SCHOOL DISTRICT Management's Discussion and Analysis
JUNE 30, 2022
original budget, with an amended final expenditure budget of $1.3 billion, with a forecasted decrease in Fund Balance of $75.1 million. Actual revenue exceeded budgeted revenue by $67.5 million, primarily from greater property tax revenue and increased state funding. Actual expenditures were $40.5 million less than budgeted. The net effect of these favorable variances totaled $108.0 million and resulted in a net increase to actual fund balance of $32.9 million.
General Fund Balance
The unassigned General Fund balance at June 30, 2022 was $198.3 million. This represents approximately 59 days of general fund expenditures. The Board of Education made a concerted effort to maintain an adequate operating reserve for the District.
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 IV and V focus on revitalizing schools.
The SPLOST IV special sales tax began January 1, 2014 and ended on December 31, 2018. The SPLOST V special sales tax began January 1, 2019 and will end on December 31, 2023. The SPLOST IV fund had expenditures of $6.4 million and an ending fund balance of $6.2 million. SPLOST V had expenditures of $123.8 million and an ending fund balance of $100.3 million. A full listing of SPLOST IV and SPLOST V projects can be located on pages 115-118.
The System Wide/County-Wide Fund had no expenditures and an ending fund balance of $0.01 million.
Nonmajor Governmental Funds
The Nonmajor Governmental Funds, had aggregate expenditures of $158.3 million and aggregate fund balances of $63.8 million in fiscal year 2022. Within the Nonmajor Governmental Funds, the Funds with the highest expenditures in fiscal year 2022 were School Nutrition at $57.4 million, Special Education at $23.6 million, Local School Funds at $22.0 million, and Title I (of the Elementary and Secondary Education Act) at $21.1 million. Nonmajor Governmental Funds ending the year with the highest fund balances were School Nutrition at $30.1 million, Local School Funds at $12.9 million, District Building at $6.3 million, and SPLOST IV at $6.2 million. The fund balance of Nonmajor Governmental Funds, in aggregate, increased from $36.9 million in fiscal year 2021 to $63.8 million in fiscal year 2022, an increase of $26.9 million. Descriptions of these funds can be located on pages 79-81.

Ed-SPLOST VI will enable the financing of new schools and provide for needed building improvements to existing schools. Our District remains committed to working as one team for the goal of student success, as we seek to maximize the financial resources entrusted to us.

COBB COUNTY SCHOOL DISTRICT RECONCILIATION OF THE GOVERNMENTAL FUNDS STATEMENT OF REVENUES, EXPENDITURES AND CHANGES IN FUND BALANCES TO THE STATEMENT OF ACTIVITIES FOR THE YEAR ENDED JUNE 30, 2022
(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 comprised 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.
In the governmental funds, current year expenditures related to OPEB are comprised solely of amounts contributed to the plan for the current year. However, in the statement of activities, expenses related to OPEB include amounts that do not require the use of current financial resources. This amount represents the difference in the required accounting treatment of OPEB and related items.
Revenues in the statement of activities that do not provide current financial resources are considered as unavailable revenues in the governmental funds. Property taxes
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, 2022
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 No. 14 and No. 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. Eliminations have been made to minimize the double counting of internal activities. Governmental activities generally are financed through taxes, intergovernmental revenues, and non-exchange 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.
29
COBB COUNTY SCHOOL DISTRICT
Notes to the Basic Financial Statements JUNE 30, 2022
Note 1. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (Continued)
Program revenues include charges paid by the recipients of goods or services offered by the programs as well as 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. Separate statements for each category (governmental and proprietary) 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 V Fund (SPLOST V) accounts for salestax proceeds required to be used for capital outlay for educational purposes as authorized by local referendum.
System Wide/Countywide Building Fund accounts for the proceeds of short-term construction notes used for temporarily financing capital outlay in the SPLOST V fund.
American Rescue Plan Act of 2021 accounts for funding to offset the negative economic impact and loss of learning due to the pandemic.
Additionally, the District reports the following fund types:
Special revenue funds account for restricted or committed specific revenues and their related expenditures. Special 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.

COBB COUNTY SCHOOL DISTRICT
Notes to the Basic Financial Statements JUNE 30, 2022
Note 1. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (Continued)
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.
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.

COBB COUNTY SCHOOL DISTRICT
Notes to the Basic Financial Statements JUNE 30, 2022
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 August 1 through July 31. In accordance with the requirements of the enabling legislation of the QBE program, the State of Georgia reimburses the District over the same twelvemonth 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 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.

E. Investments
Included in cash equivalents are items such as deposits with the Georgia local government investment pool and bank money market accounts. All of the District's cash and cash equivalents, as of June 30, 2022, have a maturity date of less than three months. The District's investments, as of June 30, 2022, have a maturity date of less than twelve months and are as follows:

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. Investment income is reported in the fund containing the invested assets which generated the income. The Official Code of Georgia Annotated Section 36-83-4 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. Leases
In fiscal year 2022, the School District adopted Governmental Accounting Standards Board (GASB) Statement No. 87, Leases. The primary objective of this statement is to better meet the information needs of financial statement users by improving accounting and financial reporting for leases by governments. This Statement increases the usefulness of a government's financial statements by requiring recognition of certain lease assets and liabilities for leases that previously were classified as operating leases and recognized as inflows of resources or outflows of resources based on the payment provisions of the contract. It establishes a single model for lease accounting based on the foundational principle that leases are financings of the right to use an underlying asset. The cumulative effect of GASB Statement No. 87 is described in the restatement note 17.
Since 1996 and later, the School District, as lessor, has entered into agreements with various communication companies for leasing parcels of land located at 36 various school sites. These agreements are renewable for 5 years terms for a total of $ 6,113,108 payable to the School District by fiscal year 2043. The amortized revenue recorded in fiscal year 2022 was $1,414,443 and the remaining deferred inflow of resources was $6,603,147.
H. Property Taxes
The Cobb County Board of Commissioners fixed the property tax levy for the 2021 tax digest year (calendar year) in July 2021 (levy date) based on property values as of January 1, 2020. Taxes were due on October 15, 2021 (lien date). Taxes collected within the current fiscal year or within 60 days after year-end on the 2021 tax digest are reported as revenue in the governmental funds for fiscal year 2022. 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, 2022 totaled $654,791,000.
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 2021 tax year (calendar year) for the Cobb County School District were as follows (a mill equals $1 per thousand dollars of assessed value):
School Operations
18.90 mills
I. 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 $225,959,531 has been collected or on December 31, 2023, whichever occurs first.

Notes to the Basic Financial Statements JUNE 30, 2022
Note 1. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (Continued)
J. Tax Abatements
Cobb County, through the Development Authority of Cobb County, allows for taxable revenue bond financing, pursuant to the Georgia Development Authorities Law, under Title 36 Chapter 62 of the Official Code of Georgia, in order to promote the creation of jobs and stimulate development activity within Cobb County. The taxable revenue bond financings result in the reduction of ad valorem (real and/or personal property) taxes.
The County offers a reduction in property taxes through the structure of these financing arrangements. Specifically, the Development Authority of Cobb County, a tax-exempt public organization created independently from the County, may enter into agreements with private individuals or entities in order to incentivize these businesses to build, relocate, expand, or renovate in Cobb County. The agreements involve a bond issuance and saleleaseback transaction, whereby the Development Authority takes title to property and leases it back to the company. The business or individual is responsible for making ad valorem tax payments on its leasehold interest. The rental payments for the leasehold offset the debt service on the bonds over a fixed 10-year term, so that at the end of the incentive period, the bonds are fully retired and the company regains title of the property through an option to purchase.
The Development Authority considers the fiscal impacts of a proposed project and weighs such benefits against the costs of reduced revenue impacts when considering whether to enter into a taxable revenue-bond deal with an individual or entity. Generally, eligible projects involve a commitment of significant capital investment and/or the creation of net new jobs to the County, which propose a favorable return on investment for the County. There are no additional commitments other than to provide favorable tax treatment. There are provisions for recapturing some portion of the value of these incentives in the event capital investment and job creation numbers are not met during the incentive period; however, the Development Authority can immediately return title to a company for a nonperforming project, which cancels the incentive going forward. There are no amounts receivable from other governments.
For the fiscal year ended June 30, 2022, the tax abatement programs noted above abated property taxes due to the School District that were levied on January 1, 2021 and due on October 15, 2023 totaling $3,123,032.

K. 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.
L. Prepaid Items
Payments made to vendors for services that will benefit periods subsequent to June 30, 2022, are recorded as prepaid, according to the consumption method.
M. 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 estimated acquisition 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.
Capitalization thresholds and estimated useful lives of capital assets reported in the District-
wide statements are as follows:

N. Deferred Outflows/Inflows of Resources
Deferred outflows of resources represent a consumption of net position that applies to a future period(s) and 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 and OPEB (described in Note 1.N, Note 1.O, Note 14 and Note 15), Cobb County School District measures unavailable revenue, which arises under a modified accrual basis of accounting and qualifies for reporting in this category. Accordingly, unavailable revenue is reported only in the governmental funds balance sheet.
Governmental funds report unavailable revenues from one source: property taxes. These amounts are deferred and recognized as inflows of resources in the period that the amounts become available.
The District reports a deferred outflow of resources for employer contributions made to the pension and OPEB plans subsequent to the measurement date, as these will be recognized as a reduction to the District's net pension liability and net OPEB liability in the year ended June 30, 2023. The District also reports deferred outflows of resources and deferred inflows of resources for experience gains or losses, assumption changes, and for the change in the District's proportionate share based on actual contributions towards the pension and OPEB plans, which are amortized into pension and OPEB expense over the expected remaining service lives of plan members. Finally, the District reports deferred outflows of resources and deferred inflows of resources for the net difference between projected and actual earnings on pension and OPEB investments. These items will be amortized against pension and OPEB expense over a five year period.
O. 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.
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
38
COBB COUNTY SCHOOL DISTRICT
Notes to the Basic Financial Statements JUNE 30, 2022
Note 1. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (Continued)
refunds of employee contributions) are recognized when due and payable in accordance with the benefit terms. Investments are reported at fair value.
P. Other Postemployment Benefits (OPEB)
For purposes of measuring the net OPEB liability (asset), deferred outflows of resources and deferred inflows of resources related to OPEB and OPEB expense, information about the fiduciary net position of the Georgia School Employees Postemployment Benefit Fund (School OPEB Fund) and additions to/deductions from the School OPEB Fund's fiduciary net position have been determined on the same basis as they are reported by the School OPEB Fund. For this purpose, benefit payments are recognized when due and payable in accordance with the benefit terms. Investments are reported at fair value.
Q. Net Position
The School District's net position in the District-wide Statements are classified as follows:
Net 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 amounts 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 its Board to meet current expenses for those purposes.
R. 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:

COBB COUNTY SCHOOL DISTRICT
Notes to the Basic Financial Statements JUNE 30, 2022
Note 1. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (Continued)
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 must 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, through resolution by the Board of Education.
4) Assigned Fund Balance - Amounts that are intended by the Board of Education for specific purposes, but are neither restricted nor committed. The Board of Education can choose to delegate this authority. The Board and the Chief Financial Officer have the authority to assign fund balances.
5) Unassigned Fund Balance - Residual spendable fund balance after subtracting all above amounts. Positive unassigned values are only reported in the General Fund.
Committed Fund Balances The Board of Education, as the government's highest level of decision-making authority, may commit fund balance by a formal majority vote prior to the District's fiscal year-end. Likewise, future modification or rescission of committed funds must be accomplished by a formal majority vote of the Board of Education prior to fiscal year-end. Pursuant to the requirements of GASB Statement No. 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
Venue Management / Public Safety
After School Program
Performing Arts / Art Career and Cultural
Tuition School / Adult High School Local Schools
Revenue Source Donations by individuals or organizations to
benefit school programs. 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. Voluntary student contributions to fund Performing Arts Programs and donations to fund artist workshops at local schools.

Note 1. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (Continued) Assigned Fund Balances The District's 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, they 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 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 for 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 its annual budget using the budgetary basis of accounting, which differs from generally accepted accounting principles in the United States of America (GAAP) as allowed by the State of Georgia. Under the budgetary basis of accounting, 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 that 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.
While General Fund and Special Revenue Fund budgets are reported at the function level within individual funds, the level of budgetary control (that is, the level at which expenditures cannot legally exceed the appropriated amount) is at the fund level. In the event expenditures exceed appropriations in a function area, they must be offset by underexpenditures in other function areas within the same fund. The District makes certain reclassification of revenues and expenditures presented on a budgetary basis conform to GAAP basis financial statements. Several supplementary appropriations were necessary during the fiscal year ended June 30, 2022.
The District's budgetary statements for the General Fund differ somewhat from generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP) prepared statements. The dollar effect for these differences are detailed in the following reconciliation for the year-end net change in fund balance (budgetary basis) to the year-end net change in fund balance (GAAP basis):

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 fair 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 45-813.1) the aggregate of the fair 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. State statutes also allow deposits and investments (other than federal or state government instruments) amounts that exceed standard depository insurance limits to be collateralized by participation in the State of Georgia Secure Deposit Program. As of June 30, 2022, a financial institution holding some of the District's deposits is a participant in the State of Georgia Secure Deposit Program, which is administered by the Office of the State Treasurer, requires participating banks holding deposits of public funds to pledge collateral at varying rates depending on the tier assigned by the State.
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
45
COBB COUNTY SCHOOL DISTRICT
Notes to the Basic Financial Statements JUNE 30, 2022
Note 3. CASH EQUIVALENTS, DEPOSITS AND INVESTMENTS (Continued)
(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.
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, 2022, the District had deposits with a carrying amount of $249,971,574 and a bank balance of $255,298,147. The bank balance was covered entirely 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, 2022, the District's investments included $429,255,652 in a local government investment pool account called Georgia Fund 1, 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 43 days. In addition, the District had $277,038 in certificates of deposit in various financial institutions. These certificates of deposits are reported as investments.
The District's investment in Georgia Fund 1, the State of Georgia Investment Pool, was rated AAAf by Standard & Poor's and AAAF/S1 by Fitch. The Office of the State Treasurer is the oversight agency for Georgia Fund 1. Georgia Fund 1, created by OCGA 36-83-8, is a stable asset value investment pool.
46
COBB COUNTY SCHOOL DISTRICT
Notes to the Basic Financial Statements JUNE 30, 2022
Note 3. CASH EQUIVALENTS, DEPOSITS AND INVESTMENTS (Continued)
Georgia Fund 1's primary objectives are safety of capital, investment income, liquidity and diversification while maintaining principal ($1 per share value). The pool is not registered with the SEC as an investment company. 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. The pool also adjusts the value of its investments to fair value as of year-end and the District's investment in the Georgia Fund 1 is reported at fair value. As of June 30, 2022, the District considers amounts held in Georgia Fund 1 as cash equivalents for financial statement presentation.
Fair Value Measurements
Georgia Fund 1 is an investment pool that does not meet the criteria of GASB Statement No. 79 and is thus valued at fair value in accordance with GASB Statement No. 31. As a result, the District does not disclose investment in Georgia Fund 1 within the fair value hierarchy.
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 that 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.
Concentration of Credit Risk
Concentration of credit risk is defined as investments of more than 5% in any one issuer. Georgia Fund 1 is excluded from the requirement of disclosing concentration of credit risk.
47
COBB COUNTY SCHOOL DISTRICT
Notes to the Basic Financial Statements JUNE 30, 2022
Note 3. CASH EQUIVALENTS, DEPOSITS AND INVESTMENTS (Continued) Interest Rate Risk In accordance with its investment policy, the District will minimize interest rate risk, which is the risk that the fair 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 that 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 $37,620,000 receivable due to the General Fund from various nonmajor governmental funds was primarily for the financing of federal and state grant expenditures whose reimbursements were pending at year-end, as detailed below. The $646,000 receivable due to Local Schools from the General Fund largely represented local school excess cash reserves invested with interest, net of the interfund payable. Interfund receivable and payable balances by fund as of June 30, 2022 are disclosed in the following schedule, rounded to the thousands:

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 amount from the General Fund to the Countywide 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 transfer into the General Fund from nonmajor governmental funds represents excess uncommitted revenue above program expenditures that was moved to benefit the various instructional and support services of the District.
Interfund transfers for the year ended June 30, 2022, consisted of the following, rounded to the thousands:

Note 14. RETIREMENT PLANS
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 and may be amended 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.
Contributions
Per Title 47 of the O.C.G.A., contribution requirements of active employees and participating employers, as actuarially determined, are established and may be amended by the TRS Board. Pursuant to O.C.G.A. 47-3-63, the employer contributions for certain full- time public school support personnel are funded on behalf of the employer by the State of Georgia. 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. Plan members are currently required to contribute 6.00 percent of their annual covered payroll and the District is currently required to contribute 19.81 percent of the covered payroll. The District's contributions to TRS for the year ended June 30, 2022 was $152,624,322.

Pension Liabilities, Pension Expense, and Deferred Outflows of Resources and Deferred Inflows of Resources Related to Pensions
At June 30, 2022, the District reported a liability for its proportionate share of the net pension liability that reflected a reduction for support provided to the District by the State of Georgia for certain public school support personnel. The amount recognized by the District as its proportionate share of the net pension liability, the related State of Georgia support, and the total portion of the net pension liability that was associated with the District were as follows:

State of Georgia's proportionate share of the net pension liability associated with the District
Total
$ 497,853,784
91,893 $ 497,945,677
The net pension liability was measured as of June 30, 2021. The total pension liability used to calculate the net pension liability was based on an actuarial valuation as of June 30, 2020. An expected total pension liability as of June 30, 2021 was determined using standard roll- forward techniques. The District's proportion of the net pension liability was based on contributions to TRS during the fiscal year ended June 30, 2021. At June 30, 2021, the District's proportion was 5.629071%, which was an increase of 0.052423% from its proportion measured as of June 30, 2020.
For the year ended June 30, 2022, the District recognized pension expense of $23,917,608 and revenue of $261,712 for support provided by the State of Georgia for certain support personnel. At June 30, 2022, the District reported deferred outflows of resources and deferred inflows of resources related to pensions from the sources on the following page.

Note 14. RETIREMENT PLANS (Continued)
Actuarial assumptions: The total pension liability as of June 30, 2021 was determined by an actuarial valuation as of June 30, 2020 using the following actuarial assumptions, applied to all periods included in the measurement:
Inflation Salary increases Investment rate of return
Post retirement benefit increases
2.50% 3.00-8.75%, average, including inflation 7.25%, net of pension plan investment expense including inflation 1.50% semi-annually
Post-retirement mortality rates for service retirements and beneficiaries were based on the Pub-2010 Teachers Headcount Weighted Below Median Healthy Retiree mortality table (ages set forward one year and adjusted 106%) with the MP-2019 Projection scale applied generationally. The rates of improvement were reduced by 20% for all years prior to the ultimate rate. Post-retirement mortality rates for disability retirements were based on the Pub-2010 Teachers Mortality Table for Disabled Retirees (ages set forward one year and adjusted 106%) with the MP-2019 Projection scale applied generationally. The rates of improvement were reduced by 20% for all years prior to the ultimate rate. The Pub-2010 Teachers Headcount Weighted Below Median Employee mortality table with ages set forward one year and adjusted 106% was used for death prior to retirement. Future improvement in mortality rates was assumed using the MP-2019 projection scale generationally. These rates of improvement were reduced by 20% for all years prior to the ultimate rate.
The actuarial assumptions used in the June 30, 2020 valuation were based on the results of an actuarial experience study for the period July 1, 2013 June 30, 2018, with the exception of the long-term assumed rate of return on assets (discount rate), which was 7.25%, and the assumed annual rate of inflation, which was 2.50%, effective with the June 30, 2020 valuation.
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.

(0.80) % 9.30 13.30 9.30 11.30 10.60
Discount rate: The discount rate used to measure the total pension liability was 7.25%. 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 7.25%, 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 (6.25%) or one percentage point higher (8.25%) than the current rate:

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/financials.
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 $15.50, 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

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 the supplemental defined contribution plan for the year ended June 30, 2022 was $392,332 with an average number of participants of 681.
Pension Liabilities and Pension Expense
At June 30, 2022, 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:

The District participates in the State of Georgia School Employees Postemployment Benefit Fund (the School OPEB Fund) which is another postemployment benefit (OPEB) plan administered by the State of Georgia Department of Community Health (DCH). Certified teachers and non-certified employees of the District as defined in 20-2-875 of the Official Code of Georgia Annotated (O.C.G.A.) are provided OPEB through the School OPEB Fund - a cost-sharing multiple-employer defined benefit postemployment healthcare plan, reported as an employee trust fund of the State of Georgia and administered by a Board of Community Health (DCH Board). Title 20 of the O.C.G.A. assigns the authority to establish and amend the benefit terms of the group health plan to the DCH Board. The School OPEB Fund is included in the State of Georgia Annual Comprehensive Financial Report which is publicly available and can be obtained at https://sao.georgia.gov/statewide-reporting/acfr
Benefits
The School OPEB Fund provides healthcare benefits for retirees and their dependents due under the group health plan for public school teachers, including librarians, other certified employees of public schools, regional educational service agencies, and non-certified public school employees. Retiree medical eligibility is attained when an employee retires and is immediately eligible to draw a retirement annuity from Employees' Retirement System (ERS), Georgia Judicial Retirement System (JRS), Legislative Retirement System (LRS), Teachers Retirement System (TRS) or Public School Employees Retirement System (PSERS). If elected, dependent coverage starts on the same day as retiree coverage. Medicare-eligible retirees are offered Standard and Premium Medicare Advantage plan options. Non-Medicare eligible retiree plan options include Health Reimbursement Arrangement (HRA), Health Maintenance Organization (HMO) and a High Deductible Health Plan (HDHP). The School OPEB Fund also pays for administrative expenses of the fund. By law, no other use of the assets of the School OPEB Fund is permitted.
Contributions
As established by the Board of Community Health, the School OPEB Fund is substantially funded on a pay-as-you-go basis; that is, annual cost of providing benefits will be financed in the same year as claims occur. Contributions required and made to the School OPEB Fund from the District were $22,319,063 for the year ended June 30, 2022. Active employees are not required to contribute to the School OPEB Fund.

Mortality rates were based on the RP-2000 Combined Mortality Table for Males or Females, as appropriate, with adjustments for mortality improvements based on Scale BB as follows:
For TRS members: The Pub-2010 Teachers Headcount Weighted Below Median Healthy Retiree Mortality Table projected generationally with the MP-2019 projection scale (set forward one year and adjusted 106%) is used for death prior to retirement and for service retirements and beneficiaries. The Pub-2010 Teachers Mortality Table for Disabled Retirees projected generationally with the MP-2019 Projection scale (set forward one year and adjusted 106%) is used for disability retirements. For both, rates of improvement were reduced by 20% for all years prior to the ultimate rate.
For PSERS members: Pre-retirement mortality rates were based on the Pub-2010 General Employee Mortality Table, with no adjustment, with the MP-2019 Projections scale applied generationally. Post-retirement mortality rates for service retirements were based on the Pub-2010 General Healthy Annuitant Mortality Table (ages set forward one year and adjusted 105% for males and 108% for females) with the MP-2019 Projection scale applied generationally. Post-retirement mortality rates for disability retirements were based on the Pub-2010 General Disabled Mortality Table (ages set back three years for males and adjusted 103% for males and 106% for females) with the MP-2019 Projections scaled applied generationally. Postretirement mortality rates for beneficiaries were based on the Pub-2010 General Contingent Survivor Mortality Table (ages set forward two years and adjust 106% for males and 158% for females) with the MP-2019 Project scale applied generationally.
The actuarial assumptions used in the June 30, 2020 valuation were based on the results of an actuarial experience study for the pension systems, which covered the five-year period ending June 30, 2018, with the exception of the assumed annual rate of inflation which was changed from 2.75% to 2.50%, effective with the June 30, 2018 valuation.
The remaining actuarial assumptions (e.g., initial per capita costs, health care cost trends, rate of plan participation, rates of plan election, etc.) used in the June 30, 2020 valuation were based on a review of recent plan experience done concurrently with the June 30, 2020 valuation.
Projection of benefits for financial reporting purposes are based on the substantive plan (the plan as understood by the Board and plan members) and include the types of benefits provided at the time of each valuation and the historical pattern of sharing of benefit costs between the employer and plan members to that point. The actuarial methods and assumptions used include techniques that are designed to reduce the effects of short-term volatility in actuarial accrued liabilities and the actuarial value of assets, consistent with the long-term perspective of the calculation.

Note 15. OTHER POST EMPLOYMENT BENEFITS (OPEB) (Continued)
The long-term expected rate of return on OPEB 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 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:
Long-Term Expected
Asset class
Target allocation
Long-term expected real rate of return*
Fixed income Equities
Total
30.00 % 70.00 100.00 %
0.14 % 9.20
* Net of inflation
Discount rate: In order to measure the total OPEB liability for the School OPEB, a single equivalent interest rate of 2.20% was used as the discount rate, as compared with last year's rate of 2.22%. This is comprised mainly of the yield or index rate for 20 year tax-exempt general obligation bonds with an average rating of AA or higher (2.16% per the Municipal Bond Index Rate). The projection of cash flows used to determine the discount rate assumed that contributions from members and from the employers will be made at the current level as averaged over the last five years, adjusted for annual projected changes in headcount. Projected future benefit payments for all current plan members were projected through 2145.

Notes to Required Supplementary Information For the Year Ended June 30 Teacher Retirement System of Georgia Change of benefit terms: There have been no changes in benefit terms. Changes of assumptions: On November 18, 2015, the Board adopted recommended changes to the economic and demographic assumptions utilized by the System. Primary among the changes were the updates to rates of mortality, retirement, disability, withdrawal and salary increases. The expectation of retired life mortality was changed to RP-2000 White Collar Mortality Table with future mortality improvement projected to 2025 with the Society of Actuaries' projection scale BB (set forward one year for males). On May 15,2019, the Board adopted recommended changes from the smoothed valuation interest rate methodology that has been in effect since June 30, 2009, to a constant interest rate method. In conjunction with the methodology, the long-term assumed rate of return in assets (discount rate) has been changed from 7.50% to 7.25%, and the assumed rate of inflation has been reduced from 2.75% to 2.50%.
In 2019 and later, the expectation of retired life mortality was changed to the 2010 Teachers Headcount Weighted Below Median Healthy Mortality Table from the RP-2000 Mortality Tables. In 2019, rates of withdrawal, retirment, disability and mortality were adjusted to more closely reflect actual experience. In 2010, assumed rates of salary increase were adjusted to more closely reflect actual experience.
