To the Members of the Fulton County Board of Education, The Citizens of Fulton County, Georgia and the Financial Community:
The Comprehensive Annual Financial Report (CAFR) of the Fulton County Board of Education, Georgia (the School District) for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2017, is submitted herewith. This report was prepared by the Financial Services Division and is intended to fulfill the requirements for audit prescribed by Georgia Statutes for local boards of education. Also included in this CAFR is the Uniform Guidance report which is issued to fulfill Single Audit Requirements of Federal and State governments. District management assumes full responsibility for the completeness and reliability of the information contained in this report, based on a comprehensive framework of internal control that it has established for this purpose. Because the cost of internal control 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.
The Financial Services Division prepared this report in conformance with standards of the Governmental Accounting Standards Board, the American Institute of Certified Public Accountants, and the Government Finance Officers Association.
Mauldin & Jenkins, LLC, have issued an unmodified ("clean") opinion on the Board's financial statements for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2017. The independent auditor's report is located at the front of the financial section of this report.
Management's discussion and analysis (MD&A) document immediately follows the independent auditor's report and provides a narrative introduction, overview, and analysis of the basic financial statements. The MD&A complements this letter of transmittal and should be read in conjunction with it.
The Comprehensive Annual Financial Report is presented in five sections: 1) Introductory, 2) Financial, 3) Statistical, 4) Special Reports and 5) Single Audit. The Introductory section includes this transmittal letter, a list of principal officials, and an organizational chart. The Financial section includes the basic financial statements as well as the unmodified opinion of independent public accountants on the basic financial statements.

Linda P. Bryant, President Linda McCain, Vice Prsident Julia C. Bernath Gail Dean Kimberly Dove Katie Reeves Katha Stuart Jeff Rose, Ed. D., Superintendent
The Statistical section contains selected financial and demographic information, generally presented over a multi-year basis. Included with the Statistical section is a Special Report section. Within this Special Report section is the SPLOST expenditures, lottery expenditures, and QBE allotment and expenditures. The Single Audit section contains federal compliance information including schedules and auditor reports required for the District to comply with the Revised Single Audit Act of 1996 and 2 CFR 200, the Uniform Guidance.
PROFILE OF THE BOARD
The School District's boundaries are coterminous with those of Fulton County, Georgia (the "County") (except the area within the corporate limits of the City of Atlanta, Georgia which constitutes the territory within the Atlanta Independent School System). The School District reports one blended component unit, the "Fulton County School Employees' Pension Fund".
The School District serves the entire County area excluding the territory within the Atlanta Independent School System. The School District is currently composed of 108 schools: 59 elementary schools (grades K-5), 19 middle schools (grades 6-8) and 18 high schools (grades 9- 12), 2 open campus high schools, and 10 start-up Charter Schools for a total enrollment of approximately 96,700. The School District is governed by an elected seven-member Board of Education, the official policy-making body of the School District, and administered by an appointed Superintendent.
The School District is the fourth largest system in Georgia and the 32nd largest in the United States. The District is governed by a Board of Education consisting of seven members elected by the registered voters of the County from seven education districts within the County. A president and a vice-president are elected from the membership, and serve as such for a term of two years and one year respectively.
Day-to-day administration of the School District is the responsibility of the Superintendent, who is appointed by the Board for terms of office which may not be less than one year or greater than three years. The School Superintendent acts as the Secretary of the Board of Education, ex officio.

BOARD OF EDUCATION
Linda P. Bryant, President Linda McCain, Vice Prsident Julia C. Bernath Gail Dean Kimberly Dove Katie Reeves Katha Stuart Jeff Rose, Ed. D., Superintendent
As of June 30, 2017, there were more than 7,500 certificated personnel servicing an active enrollment of approximately 96,700 students in the various schools. Services provided by our personnel include: preschool for three and four-year-old special needs students, regular and special education instructional program at the elementary (kindergarten through 5th grade), middle (6th through 8th grade), and secondary (9th through 12th grade) levels. Additional services in community school programs, on-line educational programs and numerous others, which exceed the legal requirements, are also offered in the school system.
All teachers in the School System hold Bachelor's degrees, many have Master's degrees, and some have Specialist's and Doctoral degrees. Most have a continuing interest in professional and personal growth through formal study and staff development workshops.
The School District has been reaccredited by AdvanceEd, which is comprised of three U.S.-based regional accreditation agencies. The regional accreditation agency that conducts the School District's accreditation activities is the Southern Association of Colleges and Schools Council on Accreditation (SACS CASI).
Fulton County has a land area of approximately 529 square miles. The terrain is rolling, and the elevation varies from 900 to 1,050 feet above sea level. The average temperature varies from 41 degrees in January to 79 degrees in July, with an average mean temperature of 61 degrees. Average annual rainfall is 50.77 inches.
LOCAL ECONOMY
The development of the fiscal year 2017 budget, which was approved on June 7, 2016, was a planned, orderly process, which evaluated the prioritization of available funds for provision of educational services for Fulton County students. The central focus of the approved fiscal year 2017 budget is to provide competitive wages for teachers, increased support to schools, support the Districts strategic plan, support federal programs, and manage increasing benefit costs for all employees
Our two primary funding sources have experienced growth this fiscal year as the local economy has seen steady growth. . Our major General Fund revenue stream for operations is property taxes which generates 60% of the General Fund revenue and increased by $12.7 million due to growth in the Tax Digest.
iii

BOARD OF EDUCATION
Linda P. Bryant, President Linda McCain, Vice Prsident Julia C. Bernath Gail Dean Kimberly Dove Katie Reeves Katha Stuart Jeff Rose, Ed. D., Superintendent
Our second major General Fund revenue stream is State revenue through the "Quality Basic Education" Act funding, which represents 38% of General Fund revenue. In fiscal year 2017 QBE state aid of approximately $358 million was up from fiscal year 2016 by approximately $15 million due to enrollment growth, an increase in training and experience credit for teachers and a reduction in the state austerity adjustments. Overall, our General Fund revenues are up approximately 4.3%. It is the goal of FCS to strategically use new revenue to support the district's strategic plan, to provide compensation increases to employees to manage the expenditure growth associated with increased enrollment and rising benefit costs. The revenue increases in FY 2017 were used in part to provide a salary increase to teachers of 5% and a 3% increase for noninstructional personnel and to manage rising benefit costs.
LONG TERM FINANCIAL PLANNING The School District plans capital improvements as future capital needs arise due to increased student population and facility repair and maintenance needs. Specific capital expenditure plans are formalized in conjunction with enrollment forecasts, current facility assessments, and anticipated annual receipts of capital outlay funds from the State of Georgia Department of Education. The School District regularly monitors anticipated capital outlay needs. The District has adopted financial policies that provide us with an infrastructure for our future financial management decisions. The topics addressed in these policies include:
Operating budgets and equity reserve policies; Capital improvement program policies; Debt issuance and management policies (adopted in fiscal year 2010); Revenue administration policies Accounting, auditing, and financial reporting policies; Deposit and investment policies.

STRATEGIC INITIATIVES
During the 2012- 2013 school year Fulton County Schools began the implementation of Strategic Plan 2017: Building Our Future, a five-year roadmap to dramatically improve student achievement for all students. We have organized the path forward around these five areas of focus where the district must improve:
Advancing Instruction; Enhancing People; Integrating Technology; Ensuring Effective Schools; Managing Resources. Our status as Georgia's largest Charter System presents an unprecedented level of flexibility to think differently about how we operate and consider new ways to meet the needs of a diverse and wide-reaching school district. Our theory of action is that empowering principals and school- based governance councils will lead to improved outcomes for students throughout Fulton County. Focused and intentional work guided by the District's strategic plan has led to Fulton improving its four-year cohort graduation rate over 15 percentage points resulting in both the highest graduation rate in Metro Atlanta as well as the fastest rate of improvement over the same period.
AWARDS Financial Reporting
The District received a Certificate of Excellence in financial reporting for the fiscal year June 30, 2016 CAFR from Government Finance Officers Association of the United States and Canada (GFOA) and the Association of School Business Officials International (ASBO). This was the 9th year that the School District has submitted and received these prestigious awards.
v

BOARD OF EDUCATION
Linda P. Bryant, President Linda McCain, Vice Prsident Julia C. Bernath Gail Dean Kimberly Dove Katie Reeves Katha Stuart Jeff Rose, Ed. D., Superintendent
In order to receive these awards, a government must publish an easily readable and efficiently organized comprehensive annual financial report. This report must satisfy both generally accepted accounting principles and applicable legal requirements. These awards are valid for a period of one year only. We believe that our current CAFR continues to meet GFOA and ASBO requirements, and will be submitting our 2017 CAFR to determine its eligibility for these certificates.
Budget Presentation
The District prepares an official budget document each year which is issued as a separate report. Since 2010, the District has received the Distinguished Budget Presentation Award from GFOA. In order to receive this award, the District must publish a budget document that meets program criteria as a policy document, a financial plan, an operations guide, and as a communications device. The award is valid for a period of one year only. We have also received the Meritorious Budget Award from ASBO every year since 2010. The criteria required by ASBO includes an introductory, organizational, financial and information section. We believe the most recent budget continues to conform to program requirements, and we have submitted it to GFOA and ASBO to determine its eligibility for another award.
CLOSING In closing, we want to thank the members of the Fulton County Board of Education for their unfailing support for maintaining the highest standards of professionalism in the management of the School District's finances. To the citizens of the Fulton County School District, please accept our gratitude for your support of our successful School District.

INDEPENDENT AUDITOR'S REPORT
To the Superintendent and Members of the Fulton County Board of Education
Atlanta, Georgia
Report on the Financial Statements
We have audited the accompanying financial statements of the governmental activities, each major fund, and the aggregate remaining fund information of the Fulton County Board of Education (the "School System") as of and for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2017, and the related notes to the financial statements, which collectively comprise the School System's basic financial statements as listed in the table of contents.
Management's Responsibility for the Financial Statements
Management is responsible for the preparation and fair presentation of these financial statements in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America; this includes the design, implementation, and maintenance of internal control relevant to the preparation and fair presentation of financial statements that are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error.
Auditor's Responsibility
Our responsibility is to express opinions on these financial statements based on our audit. We conducted our audit in accordance with auditing standards generally accepted in the United States of America and the standards applicable to financial audits contained in Government Auditing Standards, issued by the Comptroller General of the United States. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free from material misstatement.
An audit involves performing procedures to obtain audit evidence about the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. The procedures selected depend on the auditor's judgment, including the assessment of the risks of material misstatement of the financial statements, whether due to fraud or error. In making those risk assessments, the auditor considers internal control relevant to the entity's preparation and fair presentation of the financial statements in order to design audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the entity's internal control. Accordingly, we express no such opinion. An audit also includes evaluating the appropriateness of accounting policies used and the reasonableness of significant accounting estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall presentation of the financial statements.
We believe that the audit evidence we have obtained is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our audit opinions.

Opinions
In our opinion, the financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the respective financial position of the governmental activities, each major fund, and the aggregate remaining fund information of the Fulton County Board of Education as of June 30, 2017, and the respective changes in financial position and the budgetary comparison for the General Fund, for the fiscal year then ended in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.
Other Matters
Required Supplementary Information
Accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America require that the Management's Discussion and Analysis, the Schedule of Proportionate Share of the Net Pension Liability Teachers Retirement System of Georgia, the Schedule of Contributions Teachers Retirement System of Georgia, the Schedule of Changes in the School System's Net Pension Liability and Related Ratios, the Schedule of Investment Returns Fulton County School Employees' Pension Fund, and the Schedule of Contributions Fulton County School System's Retirement Plan (on pages 4 through 14 and 57 through 60, respectively) be presented to supplement the basic financial statements. Such information, although not a part of the basic financial statements, is required by the Governmental Accounting Standards Board who considers it to be an essential part of financial reporting for placing the basic financial statements in an appropriate operational, economic, or historical context. We have applied certain limited procedures to the required supplementary information in accordance with auditing standards generally accepted in the United States of America, which consisted of inquiries of management about the methods of preparing the information and comparing the information for consistency with management's responses to our inquiries, the basic financial statements, and other knowledge we obtained during our audit of the basic financial statements. We do not express an opinion or provide any assurance on the information because the limited procedures do not provide us with sufficient evidence to express an opinion or provide any assurance.
Other Information
Our audit was conducted for the purpose of forming opinions on the financial statements that collectively comprise the Fulton County Board of Education's basic financial statements. The combining and individual fund statements and schedules and schedule of expenditures of federal awards, as required by Title 2, U.S. Code of Federal Regulations, (CFR) Part 200, Uniform Administrative Requirements, Cost Principles, and Audit Requirements for Federal Awards, as well as the introductory, statistical, and special reports sections are presented for purposes of additional analysis and are not a required part of the basic financial statements.
2

Other Matters (continued) Other Information (continued) The combining and individual fund statements and schedules and the schedule of expenditures of federal awards are the responsibility of management and were derived from and relate directly to the underlying accounting and other records used to prepare the basic financial statements. Such information has been subjected to the auditing procedures applied in the audit of the basic financial statements and certain additional procedures, including comparing and reconciling such information directly to the underlying accounting and other records used to prepare the basic financial statements or to the basic financial statements themselves, and other additional procedures in accordance with auditing standards generally accepted in the United States of America. In our opinion, the combining and individual fund statements and schedules and the schedule of expenditures of federal awards are fairly stated, in all material respects, in relation to the basic financial statements as a whole. The introductory, statistical, and special reports sections have not been subjected to the auditing procedures applied in the audit of the basical financial statements and, accordingly, we do not express an opinion or provide any assurance on them.
Other Reporting Required by Government Auditing Standards In accordance with Government Auditing Standards, we have also issued our report dated December 27, 2017 on our consideration of the Fulton 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 School System'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 Fulton County Board of Education's internal control over financial reporting and compliance.

MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION
AND ANALYSIS

MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS (Unaudited) As of and for The Fiscal Year Ended June 30, 2017

Fulton County Board of Education, Georgia

MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS

Within this section of Fulton County Board of Education, Georgia's (the "School System") comprehensive annual financial report, the School System's management is pleased to provide this narrative discussion and analysis of the financial activities of the School System for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2017. The School System's financial performance is discussed and analyzed within the context of the accompanying financial statements and disclosures following this section.

Financial Highlights

The School System's assets and deferred outflows of resources exceeded its liabilities and deferred inflows of resources by $1,404,079,332 (net position) at June 30, 2017.

Total net position are comprised of the following:

(1) Net investment in capital assets of $1,883,711,532 include property and equipment, net of accumulated depreciation, and reduced for outstanding debt related to the purchase or construction of capital assets.

(2) Net position restricted of $121,749,505 by constraints imposed from outside the School System such as debt covenants, grantors, laws, or regulations.

(3) Unrestricted net position deficit of ($601,381,704) represent the portion not available to maintain the School System's continuing obligations to citizens and creditors.

The School System's governmental funds reported total ending fund balance of $353,188,782 at the end of the fiscal year. This amount compared to the prior fiscal year ending fund balance of $338,538,513, reflects an increase of $14,650,269 during the current fiscal year.
At the end of the current fiscal year, unassigned fund balance for the general fund was $54,541,953 or 5.66% of total general fund expenditures. The fiscal year 2017 unassigned fund balance shows a $3,462,712 decrease from the prior fiscal year amount.
The above financial highlights are explained in more detail in the "financial analysis" section of this document.
Overview of the Financial Statements
This Management Discussion and Analysis document introduces the School System's basic financial statements. The basic financial statements include: (1) government-wide financial statements, (2) fund financial statements, and (3) notes to the basic financial statements. The School System also includes in this report additional information to supplement the basic financial statements. Comparative data is presented when available.
Government-wide Financial Statements
The School System's annual report includes two government-wide financial statements. These statements provide both longterm and short-term information about the School System's overall financial status. Financial reporting at this level uses a perspective similar to that found in the private sector with its basis in accrual accounting and elimination or reclassification of activities between funds.
The first of these government-wide statements is the Statement of Net Position. This is the government-wide statement of position presenting information that includes all the School System's assets, deferred outflows and inflows of resources, and liabilities, with the difference reported as net position. Over time, increases or decreases in net position may serve as a useful indicator of the financial position of the School System.

The second government-wide statement is the Statement of Activities, which reports how the School System's net position changed during the current fiscal year. All current fiscal year revenues and expenses are included regardless of when cash is received or paid. An important purpose of the design of the statement of activities is to show the financial reliance of the School System's distinct activities or functions on revenues provided by the School System's taxpayers.
Both government-wide financial statements distinguish governmental activities of the School System that are principally supported by taxes and grants from business-type activities that are intended to recover all or a significant portion of their costs through user fees and charges. Governmental activities include regular instruction, specialized instruction, and numerous supporting services such as school administration and the operation and maintenance of the schools.
The government-wide financial statements are presented on pages 15 and 16 of this report.
Fund Financial Statements
A fund is an accountability unit used to maintain control over resources segregated for specific activities or objectives. The School System uses funds to ensure and demonstrate compliance with finance-related laws and regulations. Within the basic financial statements, fund financial statements focus on the School System's most significant funds rather than the School System as a whole. Major funds are separately reported while all others are combined into a single, aggregated presentation. Individual fund data for nonmajor funds is provided in the form of combining statements in a later section of this report.
The School System has two kinds of funds:
Governmental funds are reported in the fund financial statements and encompass the same functions reported as governmental activities in the government-wide financial statements. However, the focus is very different with fund statements providing a distinctive view of the School System's governmental funds. These statements report short-term fiscal accountability focusing on the use of spendable resources and balances of spendable resources available at the end of the fiscal year. Fund financial statements are useful in evaluating annual financing requirements of governmental programs and the commitment of current spendable resources.
Since the government-wide focus includes the long-term view, comparisons between these two perspectives may provide insight into the long-term impact of short-term financing decisions. Both the governmental fund balance sheet and the governmental fund operating statement provide a reconciliation to assist in understanding the differences between these two perspectives.
The basic governmental fund financial statements, including the general fund's budgetary statement are presented on pages 1721 of this report.
Individual fund information for nonmajor governmental funds is found in combining and individual statements and schedules in a later section of this report.
The other fund type, fiduciary funds, is used to account for the School System's pension trust fund and its school activity accounts. These statements are presented on pages 22-23.
Notes to the Basic Financial Statements
The accompanying notes to the basic financial statements provide information essential to a full understanding of the government-wide and fund financial statements. The notes to the financial statements begin on page 24 of this report.
As discussed, the School System reports major funds in the basic financial statements.
Required Supplementary Information
This section includes some trend information for its pension trust fund. This information is presented on page 56.

MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS (Unaudited) As of and for The Fiscal Year Ended June 30, 2017

Fulton County Board of Education, Georgia

GOVERNMENTAL REVENUES
The School System's primary revenue sources are property taxes and State aid, primarily the Quality Basic Education aid (QBE). The School System also is reliant on property taxes to support educational operations and capital outlay. Property taxes provided 47.16% of the School System's total governmental revenues as compared to 49.12% in fiscal year 2016.
State and federal aid recognized for operating purposes (excluding capital outlay) total 36.57% of total revenue as compared to 34.8% in fiscal year 2016.
In the State of Georgia, the general State aid, known as Quality Basic Education aid (QBE) is classified as program revenue. The QBE aid is distributed based upon enrollments and a certain amount of this aid must be expended in certain expense functions, as well as an amount on salaries and an amount on operations. In fiscal year 2017, the School System recognized QBE of approximately $358 million or approximately 29.1% of total revenues as compared to approximately $343 million or 28.6% in fiscal year 2016. The reason for this change is explained in the governmental activities financial analysis section presented later in this document.
In addition, the School System earned $1,813,470 in unrestricted investment earnings to support educational activities. Also, note that program revenues cover approximately 38.6% of governmental operating expenses. This means that the School System's taxpayers, through property taxes and sales taxes, fund almost 61.4% of the governmental activities revenues.
The School System recorded over $166.6 million in special purpose local option sales taxes (SPLOST) during the current fiscal year. In November 2011, a new referendum was approved authorizing a 1% special purpose local option sales tax, which commenced July 1, 2012 and expired June 30, 2017. These taxes are used for acquiring school sites, constructing, and equipping new school facilities, and renovating existing facilities.
GOVERNMENTAL FUNCTIONAL EXPENSES
The following table presents the cost of each of the School System's programs, including the net costs (i.e., total cost less revenues generated by the activities). The net costs illustrate the financial burden that was placed on the School System's taxpayers by each of these functions.
The instruction function makes up 59.85% of total expenses or almost $733 million. The School System spends an additional $112 million on direct instructional support, including pupil services, improvement of instructional services and educational media services. The administration costs of operating our 106 schools are approximately $83 million. The operation and maintenance of the School System's buildings costs approximately $157 million.
The school nutrition program gross expenses are over $43 million and this program netted a loss (net expense) of approximately $2.8 million after meal charges, State, and Federal aid. Finally, operating approximately 788 buses costs the School System over $58.9 million.

Although the instruction function makes up approximately 60.0% of total gross costs in fiscal year 2017, it is 55.6% of net costs. This reduction relates to the QBE aid reported as a program-operating grant and State aid capital grants for school construction.
Financial Analysis of the School System's Funds
Governmental Funds
As discussed, governmental funds are reported in the fund statements with a short-term, inflow and outflow of spendable resources focus. This information is useful in assessing resources available at the end of the fiscal year in comparison with upcoming financing requirements. Governmental funds reported ending fund balances of $353,188,782. Of this fiscal yearend total, $114,417,871 is legally restricted, $90,520,645 is for capital outlay, $4,402,869 is for debt service, and $15,614,902 is for the school nutrition program. $178,939,216 is committed, primarily for safeguards set aside to protect the School System against economic recessions.
Finally, $4,004,791 is assigned and $52,679,027 is unassigned and available for future educational purposes.
Major Governmental Funds
General Fund - The general fund is the School System's primary operating fund and the largest source of day-to-day service delivery. The general fund's fund balance decreased by $5,781,057 or 2.4%, from fiscal year 2016 amount. The property taxes increased approximately $12.7 million or 2.3% over the fiscal year 2016 amount due to an increase in the tax digest property valuations.
In fiscal year 2017, the QBE State aid of approximately $358 million exceeded the fiscal year 2016 amount by approximately $15 million or 4.4%. This increase relates to recalculation of fair share and reduced austerity cuts.

MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS (Unaudited) As of and for The Fiscal Year Ended June 30, 2017

Fulton County Board of Education, Georgia

Federal revenues were down slightly by approximately $970,000 from fiscal year 2016. Other revenues increased by approximately $5.5 million. Overall, revenues increased $40.2. million or 4.3% over our fiscal year 2016 revenues due to growth in the property tax digest and the QBE revenue.
On the expenditure side, total general fund expenditures, increased approximately $51.8 million or 5.8% in line with salary increases given to employees for FY 2017 and rising benefit costs.
Direct instruction expenditures increased approximately $28 million or just 4.6%. The improvement of instructional services function costs was approximately $5.7 million or 19.46% more than the prior fiscal year due to increasing benefit cost related to TRS and Health Insurance and a salary step increase paid to all employees and additional supplements paid to employees.
Business administration costs decreased by $2.8 million or 14.18%. The reduction was driven by decreases to workers compensation claims, a reduction in professional services and computer software purchases. Central support services increased by $8.7 million dollars or 37.58% due to the centralization of technology specialists who formerly reported and were charged at the local school level.
Most other expenditure functions were consistent with the fiscal year 2016 amounts and increased in line with the salary and step increases given to all employees.
The general fund's ending unassigned fund balance is considered adequate, representing the equivalent of 5.66% of annual expenditures. The unassigned fund balance was 6.4% of annual expenditures at June 30, 2016.
2012 SPLOST Capital Projects Fund On November 11, 2011, the voters approved a special purpose local option sales tax for a period of five years. The District is authorized to use $912.4 million for building construction and renovation and $57 million for debt service. During fiscal year 2017, this fund expended $146.5 million on construction and $19.08 million on debt service. In this fiscal year, this fund recognized approximately $166.59 million in sales tax revenue. At June 30, 2017, this fund reported a fund balance of approximately $87.7 million, which will be used for future construction and debt service.
General Fund Budgetary Highlights
The revenue budget was amended upward $11.7 million or a 1.2% increase.
The State revenue budget was amended upward by a total of approximately $1.9 million or just .005%. The final actual was more than the Final Budget by $4.8 million due to recalculation of fair share and reduced austerity cuts.
The property taxes revenue was less than the final budget by $15.9 million as this budget line began to see a drop of in motor vehicle tax due to softening in the auto sales industry.
The expenditure side of the original budget for the general fund was revised upward approximately $31.7 million or 3.3% increase.
The total expenditures for direct instruction performed in line with the final budget. Improvement of Instructional Services, Transportation, and Business Services all returned minor positive budget variances in line with budget. Pupil Services returned a positive budget variance of 9.16% due to cost savings in contracting services. In addition, a large software purchase budgeted in 2017 was not made. The General Administration function was over budget by 46.93% related to over a million dollars paid out in legal settlement costs which are difficult to predict and budget. The Maintenance and Operation function returned a positive budget variance in the amount of 12.06% because of reduced energy costs, custodial contracts coming in under budget and HVAC projects not completed as forecast. Finally, the Central Support Function was 8.46% under budget due to contracted services savings.
Overall, the School System spent 98% of the final expenditure budget as compared to 96.5% in fiscal year 2016.

Fulton County Board of Education, Georgia Notes to the Basic Financial Statements
For the Fiscal Year Ended June 30, 2017
The Fulton County Board of Education, Georgia (the "School System") was established under the laws of the State of Georgia and is governed by an elected seven-member board (the "Board"). Board members are elected by the public. The School System provides public education throughout Fulton County, Georgia, excluding the City of Atlanta, Georgia.
Note 1 - Summary of Significant Accounting Policies
The financial statements of the School System have been prepared in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States (GAAP) as applied to governments. The Governmental Accounting Standards Board (GASB) is the accepted standard-setting body for governmental accounting and financial reporting.
The most significant of the School System's accounting policies are described below.
1-A. Reporting Entity
The reporting entity is comprised of the primary government, component units and other organizations that are included to ensure that the financial statements are not misleading. The primary government of the School System consists of all funds, departments, boards, and agencies that are not legally separate from the School System. More specifically, the Board has the authority to make decisions, the power to approve selection of management personnel, the ability to significantly influence operations, and the primary accountability for fiscal matters.
Component units are legally separate organizations for which the School System is financially accountable. The School System is financially accountable for an organization if the School System appoints a voting majority of the organization's governing board and (1) the School System is able to significantly influence the programs or services performed or provided by the organizations; or (2) the School System is legally entitled to or can otherwise access the organization's resources; the School System is legally obligated or has otherwise assumed the responsibility to finance the deficits of, or provide financial support to, the organization; or the School System is obligated for the debt of the organization. Component units also may include organizations that are fiscally dependent on the School System in that the School System approves the budget, levies their taxes or issues their debt and also has a financial benefit or burden relationship with the School System.
The School System reports one fiduciary component unit as follows:
Fulton County School Employees' Pension Fund (the "Pension Trust Fund") The pension trust fund is governed by a committee of the Board of Education, known as the "Pension Board." Although the pension trust fund is legally separate from the School System, the pension trust fund is reported as a part of the primary government because its primary purpose is to provide retirement benefits to the employees of the School System and because the pension trust fund is fiscally dependent on the School System. Separate financial statements of the pension trust fund can be obtained at 6201 Powers Ferry Road NW, Atlanta, Georgia 30339.
The School System is not considered a component unit of any other governmental reporting entity.
1-B. Basis of Presentation
The School System's basic financial statements consist of government-wide statements, including a statement of net position and a statement of activities and fund financial statements, which provide a more detailed level of financial information.
Government-wide Financial Statements - The government-wide financial statements include the statement of net position and the statement of activities. These statements report financial information for the School System as a whole. Fiduciary funds are not presented in the government-wide financial statements.
The statement of net position presents the financial position of the governmental activities of the School System.
The statement of activities presents a comparison between direct expenses and program revenues for each function of the School System's governmental activities. Direct expenses are those that are specifically associated with a function and therefore clearly identifiable to that particular function. The School System does not allocate indirect expenses to functions in the statement of activities.
26

Fulton County Board of Education, Georgia Notes to the Basic Financial Statements
For the Fiscal Year Ended June 30, 2017
Note 1 - Summary of Significant Accounting Policies (Continued)
The statement of activities reports the expenses of a given function offset by program revenues directly connected with the functional program. A function is an assembly of similar activities and may include portions of a fund or summarize more than one fund to capture the expenses and program revenues associated with a distinct functional activity. Program revenues include: (1) charges for services which report tuition, fees and other charges to users of the School System's services; (2) operating grants and contributions which finance annual operating activities including restricted investment income; and (3) capital grants and contributions which fund the acquisition, construction, or rehabilitation of capital assets. These revenues are subject to externally imposed restrictions to these program uses. For identifying to which function program revenue pertains, the determining factor for charges for services is which function generates the revenue. For grants and contributions, the determining factor is to which function the revenues are restricted.
Other revenue sources not properly included with program revenues are reported as general revenues of the School System. The comparison of direct expenses with program revenues identifies the extent to which each governmental function is selffinancing or draws from the general revenues of the School System.
Fund Financial Statements - During the fiscal year, the School System segregates transactions related to certain School System functions or activities in separate funds in order to aid financial management and to demonstrate legal compliance. Fund financial statements are designed to present financial information of the School System at this more detailed level. Fund financial statements are provided for governmental and fiduciary funds.
Major individual governmental funds are reported in separate columns.
Fund Accounting - The School System uses funds to maintain its financial records during the fiscal year. A fund is a fiscal and accounting entity with a self-balancing set of accounts. The School System uses two categories of funds: governmental and fiduciary.
Governmental Funds - Government funds are those through which most governmental functions typically are financed. Governmental fund reporting focuses on the sources, uses, and balances of current financial resources. Expendable assets are assigned to the various governmental funds according to the purposes for which they may or must be used. Fund liabilities are assigned to the fund from which they will be liquidated. The School System reports the difference between governmental fund assets and liabilities and deferred inflows of resources as fund balance. The School System reports the following major governmental funds:
The General Fund The general fund accounts for all financial resources except those required to be accounted for in another fund. The general fund's fund balance is available to the School System for any purpose provided it is expended or transferred according to the general laws of the State of Georgia.
The 2012 SPLOST Capital Projects Fund This fund accounts for the special purpose local option sales tax as authorized in 2012 and is being used primarily for acquiring school sites, constructing and equipping new school facilities, and renovating existing facilities.
Fiduciary Funds - The School System reports the following fiduciary fund types:
Pension Trust Fund This fund accounts for pension benefits within a defined benefit pension plan, for School System employees not covered by the Teachers Retirement System of Georgia as well as some employees who were employed prior to July 1, 1988, who transferred to the Teachers Retirement System of Georgia, but retained certain benefit guarantees in the local plan.

For the Fiscal Year Ended June 30, 2017
Note 1 - Summary of Significant Accounting Policies (Continued)
Agency Funds These funds account for assets held by the School System as an agent for various school clubs or individuals.
1-C. Measurement Focus
Government-wide Financial Statements - The government-wide financial statements are prepared using the economic resources measurement focus. All assets and all liabilities associated with the operation of the School System are included on the statement of net position. The statement of activities reports revenues and expenses.
Fund Financial Statements - All governmental funds are accounted for using a flow of current financial resources measurement focus. With this measurement focus, only current assets and current liabilities, along with deferred inflow of resources, generally are included on the balance sheet. The statement of revenues, expenditures and changes in fund balances reports the sources (i.e., revenues and other financing sources) and uses (i.e., expenditures and other financing uses) of current financial resources. This approach differs from the manner in which the governmental activities of the governmentwide financial statements are prepared.
Governmental fund financial statements therefore include reconciliation with brief explanations to better identify the relationship between the government-wide statements and the governmental fund statements.
The pension trust fund type is accounted for on a flow of economic resources measurement focus on the fund financial reporting level. All assets and all liabilities associated with the operation of these funds are included on the statements of net position. The statements of changes in fund net position present increases (i.e., additions) and decreases (i.e., deductions) in net total assets. The agency funds are custodial in nature (assets equal liabilities) and do not involve the measurement of results of operations.
1-D. Basis of Accounting
Basis of accounting determines when transactions are recorded in the financial records and reported on the financial statements. Government-wide financial statements are prepared using the accrual basis of accounting. At the fund reporting level, the governmental funds use the modified accrual basis of accounting. Fiduciary funds are reported on the accrual basis at the fund reporting level. Differences in the accrual and the modified accrual basis of accounting arise in the recognition of revenue, the recording of unavailable revenue, and in the presentation of expenses versus expenditures.
Revenues - Exchange Transactions - Revenue resulting from exchange transactions, in which each party gives and receives essentially equal value, is recorded on the accrual basis when the exchange takes place. On the modified accrual basis, revenue is recorded when the exchange takes place and in the fiscal year in which the resources are measurable and become available. Available means that the resources will be collected within the current fiscal year or are expected to be collected soon enough thereafter to be used to pay liabilities of the current fiscal year. For the School System, the phrase "available for exchange transactions" means expected to be collected within 60 days of fiscal year-end.
Revenues - Non-exchange Transactions - Non-exchange transactions in which the School System receives value without directly giving equal value in return, include sales taxes, property taxes, grants and donations. On an accrual basis, revenue from sales taxes is recognized in the period in which the taxable sale takes place. Revenue from property taxes is recognized in the fiscal year for which the taxes are levied (Note 3-C). Revenue from grants and donations is recognized in the fiscal year in which all eligibility requirements have been satisfied. Eligibility requirements include timing requirements, which specify the fiscal year when the resources are required to be used or the fiscal year when use is first permitted, matching requirements, in which the School System must provide local resources to be used for a specified purpose, and expenditure requirements, in which the resources are provided to the School System on a reimbursement basis.

Fulton County Board of Education, Georgia Notes to the Basic Financial Statements
For the Fiscal Year Ended June 30, 2017
Note 1 - Summary of Significant Accounting Policies (Continued)
The State of Georgia reimburses the School System for teachers' salaries and operating costs through the Quality Basic Education (QBE) Formula Earnings program. State of Georgia law defines the formula driven grant that determines the cost of an academic school year and the State of Georgia's share in this cost. Generally teachers are contracted for the school year (July 1 June 30) and paid over a twelve month contract period, generally September 1 through August 31. In accordance with the requirements of the enabling legislation of the QBE program, the State of Georgia reimburses the School System over the same twelve month period in which teachers are paid, funding the academic school year expenditures. At June 30, the amount of teachers' salaries incurred but not paid until July and August of the subsequent fiscal 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 fiscal 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 School System recognizes the same QBE as a receivable and revenue, consistent with symmetrical recognition.
On a modified accrual basis, revenue from non-exchange transactions also must be available (i.e., collected within 60 days of fiscal year-end).
Under the modified accrual basis, the following revenue sources are considered to be susceptible to accrual: property taxes, sales taxes, state Quality Basic Education (QBE) revenue, and federal and state grants. All other revenue items are considered to be measurable and available only when the School System receives cash.
Unearned Revenue - Unearned revenue arises when assets are recognized before revenue recognition criteria have been satisfied.
Expenses/Expenditures - On the accrual basis of accounting, expenses are recognized at the time they are incurred. On the modified accrual basis, expenditures generally are recognized in the accounting period in which the related fund liability is incurred and due, if measurable.
1-E. Assets, Liabilities, and Fund Equity
1-E-1 Cash, Cash Equivalents, and Investments
Cash and cash equivalents include amounts in demand deposits as well as short-term investments with a maturity date within three months of the date acquired by the School System. Time deposits are classified as cash and cash equivalent without regard to maturity date. Official Code of Georgia Annotated (OCGA) Section 45-8-14 authorizes the School District to deposit its funds in one or more solvent banks, insured Federal savings and loan associations or insured chartered building and loan associations.
The local government investment pool, "Georgia Fund 1," created by OCGA 36-83-8, is a stable asset value investment pool, which follows Standard and Poor's criteria for AAAf rated money market funds and is regulated by the Georgia Office of the State Treasurer. The pool is not registered with the SEC as an investment company. The pool's primary objectives are safety of capital, investment income, liquidity and diversification while maintaining principle ($1 per share value). The asset value is calculated weekly to ensure stability. The pool distributes earnings (net of management fees) on a monthly basis and determines participants' shares sold and redeemed based on $1 per share. The pool also adjusts the value of its investments to fair market value as of year-end and the School System's investment in the Georgia Fund 1 is reported at fair value. The School System considers amounts held in Georgia Fund 1 as cash equivalents for financial statement presentation. Increases or decreases in fair value during the year are recognized as a component of interest income.
29

Fulton County Board of Education, Georgia Notes to the Basic Financial Statements
For the Fiscal Year Ended June 30, 2017
Note 1 - Summary of Significant Accounting Policies (Continued)
The School System operates a cash and investment pool which generally all funds utilize, the principal's account fund and the pension trust fund. The School System pools money from the funds to facilitate disbursement and investment and to maximize investment earnings. Therefore, all cash and investments are essentially demand deposits and are considered cash and cash equivalents.
1-E-2 Receivables
All trade and property tax receivables are reported net of an allowance for uncollectibles, where applicable (Note 3-B).
1-E-3 Interfund Balances
On the fund financial statements, receivables and payables resulting from short-term interfund loans are classified as "interfund receivables/interfund payables." These amounts are eliminated in the governmental activities column of the statement of net position (Note 3-E).
1-E-4 Consumable Inventories
On the government-wide financial statements and at the fund financial reporting level, inventories are presented at cost using the weighted average cost method and are expensed when used (i.e., the consumption method). Donated food commodities are presented at fair value.
1-E-5 Prepaid Items
Payments made to vendors for services that will benefit periods beyond June 30, 2017, are recorded as prepaid items using the consumption method by recording an asset for the prepaid amount and reflecting the expenditure/expense in the fiscal year in which services are consumed. At the fund reporting level, an equal amount of fund balance is reported as nonspendable, as this amount is not available for general appropriation.
1-E-6 Capital Assets
General capital assets are those assets that generally result from expenditures in governmental funds. The School System reports these assets in the governmental activities column of the government-wide statement of net position but does not report these assets in the government fund financial statements.

All capital assets are capitalized at cost (or estimated historical cost) and updated for additions and retirements during the fiscal year. Donated capital assets, donated works of art and similar items, and capital assets received in a service concession arrangement are recorded at acquisition value as of the date received. Improvements to capital assets are capitalized. The costs of normal maintenance and repairs that do not add to the value of the asset or materially extend an asset's life are expensed.
All reported capital assets are depreciated except for land and construction in progress. Improvements are depreciated over the remaining useful lives of the related capital assets (Note 3-D).
Depreciation is computed using the straight-line method over the following useful lives:

Asset Class

Governmental Activities
Estimated Lives

Capitalization Threshold

Buildings and improvements

15 - 50 Years

$5,000

Furniture, equipment and vehicles

5 - 15 Years

$5,000

Note 1 - Summary of Significant Accounting Policies (Continued)
At the inception of capital leases at the governmental fund reporting level, expenditures and an "other financing sources" of an equal amount are reported at the net present value of future minimum lease payments.
1-E-7 Compensated Absences
Vacation benefits are accrued as a liability as the benefits are earned if the employees' rights to receive compensation are attributable to services already rendered and it is probable that the employer will compensate the employees for the benefits through paid time off or some other means.
All compensated absence liabilities include salary-related payments, where applicable.
The total compensated absence liability is reported on the government-wide financial statements. Governmental funds report the compensated absence liability at the fund reporting level only "when due."
1-E-8 Accrued Liabilities and Long-term Obligations
All payables, accrued liabilities and long-term obligations are reported in the government-wide financial statements.
In general, governmental fund payables and accrued liabilities that, once incurred, are paid in a timely manner and in full from current financial resources are reported as obligations of these funds. However, compensated absences that will be paid from governmental funds are reported as a liability in the fund financial statements only to the extent that they are "due for payment" during the current fiscal year. General obligation bonds are recognized as a liability in the governmental fund financial statements when due.
1-E-9 Fund Equity (Note 3-K)
Fund equity at the governmental fund financial reporting level is classified as "fund balance." Fund equity at the government-wide financial reporting level is classified as "net position."
Fund Balance Generally, fund balance represents the difference between the current assets and current liabilities and deferred inflows of resources. In the fund financial statements, governmental funds report fund classifications that comprise a hierarchy based primarily on the extent to which the School System is bound to honor constraints on the specific purposes for which amounts in those funds can be spent. Fund balances are classified as follows:
Nonspendable Fund balances are reported as nonspendable when amounts cannot be spent because they are either (a) not in spendable form (i.e., items that are not expected to be converted to cash) or (b) legally or contractually required to be maintained intact.
Restricted Fund balances are reported as restricted when there are limitations imposed on their use either through the enabling legislation adopted by the School System or through external restrictions imposed by creditors, grantors or laws or regulations of other governments.
Committed Fund balances are reported as committed when they can be used only for specific purposes pursuant to constraints imposed by formal action of the School System Board of Education through the approval of a formal motion and passage of a resolution. Only, the School System Board of Education also may modify or rescind the commitment through approval of a resolution.
Assigned Fund balances are reported as assigned when amounts are constrained by the School System's intent to be used for specific purposes, but are neither restricted nor committed. Through resolution, the School System Board of Education has authorized the School System's superintendent or designee to assign fund balances.
31

Fulton County Board of Education, Georgia Notes to the Basic Financial Statements
For the Fiscal Year Ended June 30, 2017
Note 1 - Summary of Significant Accounting Policies (Continued)
Unassigned - Fund balances are reported as unassigned as the residual amount when the balances do not meet any of the above criterion. The School System reports positive unassigned fund balance only in the general fund. Negative unassigned fund balances may be reported in all funds.
Flow Assumptions When both restricted and unrestricted amounts of fund balance are available for use for expenditures incurred, it is the School System's policy to use restricted amounts first and then unrestricted amounts as they are needed. For unrestricted amounts of fund balance, it is the School System's policy to use fund balance in the following order:
Committed Assigned Unassigned
Net position - Net position represents the difference between assets and deferred outflows of resources and liabilities and deferred inflows of resources in reporting which utilizes the economic resources measurement focus. Net investment in capital assets consists of capital assets, net of accumulated depreciation, reduced by the outstanding balances of any longterm borrowing used for the acquisition, construction or improvement of those assets. This net position amount also is adjusted by any bond related amounts (such as premiums, discounts, or deferred gains or losses on refundings). Net position is reported as restricted when there are limitations imposed on their use either through the enabling legislation adopted by the School System or through external restrictions imposed by creditors, grantors or laws or regulations of other governments. All other net position is reported as unrestricted.
1-E-10 Interfund Activity
Exchange transactions between funds are reported as revenues in the seller funds and as expenditures in the purchaser funds. Flows of cash or goods from one fund to another without a requirement for repayment are reported as interfund transfers. Interfund transfers are reported as other financing sources/uses in governmental funds. Repayments from funds responsible for particular expenditures to the funds that initially paid for them are not presented on the financial statements (i.e., they are netted) (Note 3-E).
Transfers between funds reported in the governmental activities column are eliminated on the government-wide statement of activities.
1-E-11 Estimates
The preparation of the financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts reported in the financial statements and accompanying notes. Actual results may differ from those estimates.
1-E-12 Implementation of New GASB Standards
In fiscal year 2017, the School System implemented the following GASB Standards:
GASB Statement No. 77, Tax Abatement Disclosures. The implementation of this Standard required the School System to disclose the gross dollar amount of taxes abated during the period as a result of agreements entered into by other governments that have impacted the School System.
GASB Statement No. 82, Pension Issues An amendment of GASB Statements No. 67, 68, and 73. The implementation of this Standard addresses issues regarding (1) the presentation of payroll-related measures in required supplementary information, (2) the selection of assumptions and treatment of deviations from the guidance in an Actuarial Standard of Practice for financial reporting purposes, and (3) the classification of payments made by employers to satisfy employee (plan member) contribution requirements.

Note 2 Stewardship, Compliance and Accountability

2-A. Budgetary Information The School System adopts an annual budget for its general fund, all special revenue funds (excluding the principals' accounts), and the debt service fund. The budget is prepared in accordance with provisions of the Quality Basic Education Act, OCGA Section 20-2-167. The School System adopts a project budget for its capital projects funds. Budgets are adopted on a basis consistent with GAAP.

The legal level of budgetary control (the level at which expenditures may not legally exceed appropriations) for the adopted annual operating budget for the general fund, school nutrition program, special revenue funds and the debt service fund is the function level within fund. For budgeted special revenue funds (excluding the school nutrition program), the legal level of budgetary control is the function level within the aggregate of the total of all special revenue funds with budgets. The School System's management is authorized to transfer appropriations between functions within the same fund totaling less than $100,000. The School Board approves all transfers of appropriations between functions of $100,000 or more and all transfers of appropriations between funds, except as described below.

The budget is allocated to schools (i.e., cost centers) and cost center managers may transfer appropriations between functions as long as the transfer to one function can be offset by unused budget dollars in another function.

The original 2017 budget was amended during the fiscal year. All unexpended annual appropriations lapse at fiscal year-end.

2-B. Excess of Expenditures over Appropriations

The following functions were overspent in the final 2017 annual budget:

General fund: Educational media services General administration School administration Food services

$ 231,127 1,210,301 1,518,354

Note 3 Detailed Notes on All Funds

3-A. Deposits and Investments

Deposits (Governmental Funds)

The School System's cash and investment policy limits deposits to demand and money market accounts, and time deposits at local banks. The School System's deposits shall be secured by Federal Depositary Insurance Corporation (FDIC) coverage and/or bank pledges. State statutes require banks holding public funds to secure these funds by FDIC insurance, securities pledged at par value, and surety bonds at face value in combined aggregate totaling not less than 110 percent of the public funds held. State statutes define acceptable security for collateralization.

Custodial Credit Risk Deposits The custodial credit risk for deposits is the risk that, in the event of a bank failure, the School System's deposits may not be recovered or may not be able to recover collateralized securities that are in the possession of an outside party.

Funds included in the Georgia Fund 1, administered by the Office of the State Treasurer, are not required to be collateralized. The fair value of the School System's position in the pool approximates the value of the School System's pool shares. Credit risk, value, and interest risk at June 30, 2017 are as follows:

Credit Risk AAAf rated

Value $ 358,527,466

Interest Risk 26 day WAM

33

Fulton County Board of Education, Georgia Notes to the Basic Financial Statements
For the Fiscal Year Ended June 30, 2017

Note 3 Detailed Notes on All Funds (Continued)
The Georgia Fund 1 is an investment pool which 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 School System does not disclose its investment in the Georgia Fund 1 within the fair value hierarchy established by GASB Statement No. 72.

Investments (Governmental Funds)

Interest Rate Risk Interest rate risk is the risk that changes in interest rates of debt investments will adversely affect the fair value of an investment. The School System's surplus funds management policy does not formally limit investment maturities as a means of managing its exposure to fair value losses arising from increasing interest rates.

Credit Quality Risk Credit quality risk is that an issuer or other counterparty to an investment will not fulfill its obligations. The School System does not have a specific investment policy for investments of its governmental funds.

Custodial Credit Risk Custodial credit risk is the risk that, in the event of a bank failure, the School System's investments may not be recovered. Because of the collateralization requirements, the School System has no custodial credit risk for its investments.

Concentration of Credit Risk Concentration of credit risk is the risk of loss attributed to the magnitude of the School System's investment in a single issuer. The School System does not have a formally adopted investment policy for managing concentration of credit risk.

Deposits (Pension Trust Fund)

Custodial Credit Risk Deposits As of June 30, 2017, all of the Pension Trust Fund's deposits were covered either by FDIC coverage or collateralized by the financial institution or a combination of the two.

Investments (Pension Trust Fund)

Pension Trust Fund investments are managed by a separate investment policy adopted by the Pension Trust Fund Board in compliance with State law, particularly O.C.G.A. 47-20-10 and O.C.G.A. 47-20-80. The Pension Trust Fund assets are invested in United States Government securities, domestic common stocks, international stocks, and domestic bonds based on asset allocation ranges and performance benchmarks.

Interest Rate Risk -The Pension Trust Fund investment policy adopts the following asset mix to achieve the lowest level of risk for the plan:
Equity Securities between 45% and 75%. Fixed Income Securities between 15% and 48%. Alternative Investments between 0% and 5%.

At June 30, 2017, the Pension Trust Fund had the following investments and maturities:

Note 3 Detailed Notes on All Funds (Continued)

Credit Quality Risk The Pension Trust Fund policy prohibits investments in direct real estate, and no more than 75% (at cost) of Pension Trust Fund assets shall be invested in equities. It is the Pension Trust Fund's policy to limit investments in common or preferred stock of a corporation to those corporations listed on one or more of the recognized national stock exchanges in the United States, or those traded on the NASDAQ National Market as required by Georgia law. Domestic bonds are limited to those with ratings that meet or exceed Standard and Poor's BBB or Moody's Baa ratings. The policy also limits stock investments to not more than five (5) percent of the cost of any assets of any fund in common or preferred stock of any one issuing corporation and the aggregate investment of any fund in any one issuing corporation shall not exceed three (3) percent of the outstanding capital stock of that corporation.

The Pension Trust Fund's investments at June 30, 2017 are comprised of only mutual funds and limited partnership holdings that are not rated by any of the major ratings agencies.

Concentration of Credit Risk Concentration of credit risk is the risk of loss attributed to the magnitude of the Pension Trust Fund's investment in a single issuer. The only investments in excess of 5% of the School System's investment portfolio are federal securities and mutual funds, both of which are not subject to this risk.

Foreign Currency Risk As of June 30, 2017, $126,948,320 or 32% of the Pension Trust Fund's assets had exposure of foreign currency risk through investments in foreign companies. These investments had the form of US dollars invested in mutual funds with only international equity holdings.

Rate of Return For the fiscal year ended June 30, 2017, the annual money-weighted rate of return on pension plan investments, net of pension plan investment expense, was 12.75%. The money-weighted rate of return expresses investment performance, net of investment expense, adjusted for the changing amounts actually invested.

Long-range Expected Rate of Return The long-term expected rate of return on pension plan investments was determined using a building-block method in which best-estimate ranges of expected future real rates of return (expected returns, net of pension plan investment expense and 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 long-range expected rate of return as of June 30, 2017 is 7%.

Fair Value Measurements The Pension Trust Fund categorizes its fair value measurements within the fair value hierarchy established by generally accepted accounting principles. The hierarchy is based on the valuation inputs used to measure the fair value of the asset. Level 1 inputs are quoted prices in active markets for identical assets; Level 2 inputs are significant other observable inputs; and Level 3 inputs are significant unobservable inputs. The Pension Trust Fund has the following recurring fair value measurements as of June 30, 2017:

$ 392,528,094

The investments classified in Level 1 of the fair value hierarchy are valued using prices quoted in active markets for those securities. This includes the mutual funds invested in both equity and fixed income securities.
The private investment fund measured at the net asset value invests primarily in venture capital investments, leveraged buyouts (LBOs), and distressed debt and equity. As of June 30, 2017, the fund is invested in complex structures in underlying holdings, alternative investments, and items that fall within Level 3 of the fair value hierarchy. The limited partnership will continue until the dissolution of the last underlying fund or termination at the General Partner's discretion. Withdrawals, redemptions, or transfers are not permitted during the life of the partnership.
3-B. Receivables
Receivables at June 30, 2017, consisted of property taxes, sales taxes, accounts (billings for user charges), and intergovernmental receivables arising from grants.
Receivables and payables are recorded on the School System's financial statements to the extent that the amounts are determined to be material and substantiated not only by supporting documentation, but also by a reasonable, systematic method of determining their existence, completeness, valuation, and in the case of receivables, collectibility.
3-C. Property Taxes
Property taxes for June 30, 2017 fiscal year were levied and billed on September 7, 2016, based on the property values assessed as of January 1, 2016, and are payable on or before November 15, 2016. An interest penalty of 10% per annum is charged on property taxes not paid within 90 days of the due date. Property taxes become an enforceable lien on January 31, 2017.

3-F. Deferred Inflows/Outflows of Resources
Fund Financial Reporting Level - In addition to liabilities, the Statement of Net Position and the governmental funds balance sheet report a separate section for deferred inflows of resources. This separate financial statement element, deferred inflow of resources, represents 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. The School System reports one of these items, unavailable revenue, only in the governmental funds balance sheet. The governmental funds report unavailable revenues for both property taxes ($10,156,502) and state grants for construction ($6,649,636). These amounts are deferred and recognized as an inflow of resources in the period that the amounts become available.
Government-wide Financial Reporting Level - In addition to assets, the Statement of Net Position reports a separate section for deferred outflows of resources. Deferred outflows of resources represent a consumption of net position that applies to a future period and so will not be recognized as an outflow of resources (expense/expenditure) until then. The School System has one type of transaction that relates to the School System's retirement plans. This transaction qualifies as deferred outflows of resources and are reported on the government-wide Statement of Net Position. It includes experience gains or losses which result from periodic studies by the pension plans actuaries, which adjust the net pension liability for actual experience for certain trend information that was previously assumed and are amortized into pension expense over the expected remaining service lives of the plan members.
As indicated above, the Statement of Net Position reports a separate section for deferred inflows of resources. Deferred inflows of resources represent an acquisition of net position that applies to a future period and so will not be recognized as an inflow of resources (revenue) until that time. These inflows relate to the School System's retirement plans and are reported on the government-wide Statement of Net Position. They include the net difference between projected investment return on pension investments and actual return on those investments and is deferred and amortized against pension expense over a five year period.

3-I. Pensions
The School System's employees either belong to the Teachers' Retirement System of Georgia (TRS), which is a cost-sharing multiple employer public employees' retirement system or the Fulton County School Employees Pension Plan, a single employer defined benefit pension plan.
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 the Fulton County School Employees Pension Plan and additions to/deductions from these plans fiduciary net position have been determined on the same basis as they are reported by these plans. 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.
Teachers' Retirement System of Georgia (TRS)
Plan Description - Substantially all teachers, administrators, and clerical personnel employed by the School System are members of TRS. TRS provides retirement and disability benefits, and death benefits to plan members and beneficiaries. Title 47, Chapter 3 of the Official Code of Georgia Annotated, assigns the authority to establish and amend benefit provisions to the TRS Board of Trustees. TRS, is a cost-sharing multiple-employer defined benefit pension plan, and is administered by the TRS Board of Trustees (TRS Board). Title 47 of the O.C.G.A. which assigns the authority to establish and amend the benefit provisions to the State Legislature. TRS issues a publicly available financial report that can be obtained at www.trsga.com/publications.
Plan Benefits - A member is eligible for retirement after 30 years of creditable service, regardless of age, or after 10 years of creditable service and attainment of age 60. A member is eligible for early retirement after 25 years of creditable service. If an employee retires under this provision, the benefit will be permanently reduced by the lesser of one-twelfth of 7% for each month below age 60, or 7% for each year or fraction of a year less than 30 years of creditable service. Retirement benefits paid to members are equal to 2% of the average of the member's two consecutive highest paid years of service multiplied by the number of years of creditable service up to 40 years. The normal retirement pension is payable monthly for life. Options are available for distribution of the member's monthly pension at a reduced rate to a designated beneficiary on the member's death.
Retirement benefits also include death and disability benefits whereby the disabled member or surviving spouse is entitled to receive annually an amount equal to the member's service retirement benefit or disability retirement, whichever is greater. The benefit is based on the member's creditable service (minimum of 10 years) and compensation up to the date of death.
Members become fully vested after ten years of service. If a member is terminated with less than ten years of service, no vesting of employer contributions occurs, but the member's contribution is refunded with interest.
Funding Policy - 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. Employees were required to contribute 6.00 % of their annual pay during fiscal year 2017. The school district's contractually required contribution rate for the year ended June 30, 2017 was 14.27 % of annual school district payroll. District contributions to TRS were $78,664,440 for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2017.
Pension Liabilities, Pension Expense, and Deferred Outflows of Resources and Deferred Inflows of Resources Related to Pensions - At June 30, 2017, the School System reported a liability for its proportionate share of the net pension liability that reflected a reduction for support provided to the School System by the State of Georgia for certain public school support personnel.

$ 967,128,491

The net pension liability was measured as of June 30, 2016. The total pension liability used to calculate the net pension liability was based on an actuarial valuation as of June 30, 2015. An expected total pension liability as of June 30, 2016 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, 2016. At June 30, 2016, the District's proportion was 4.683648%, which was a decrease of 0.156605% from its proportion measured as of June 30, 2015.
For the fiscal year ended June 30, 2017, the District recognized total pension expense of $117,352,618 ($103,363,878 for the TRS Plan and $13,988,740 for the Local Pension Plan) and revenue of $33,061 (pertaining to the TRS Plan) for support provided by the State of Georgia for certain support personnel . At June 30, 2017, the District reported deferred outflows of resources and deferred inflows of resources related to pensions (TRS) from the following sources:

Note 3 - Detailed Notes on All Funds (Continued)

Actuarial assumptions: The total pension liability as of June 30, 2016 was determined by an actuarial valuation as of June 30, 2015 using the following actuarial assumptions, applied to all periods included in the measurement:

Inflation 2.75% Salary increases 3.25 9.00%, average, including inflation Investment rate of return 7.50%, net of pension plan investment expense, including inflation

Postretirement mortality rates were based on the 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) for service retirements and dependent beneficiaries. The RP-2000 Disabled Mortality Table with future mortality improvement projected to 2025 with Society of Actuaries' projection scale BB (set forward two years for males and four years for females) was used for death after disability retirement. Rates of mortality in active service were based on the RP-2000 Employee Mortality Table projected to 2025 with projection scale BB.

The actuarial assumptions used in the June 30, 2015 valuation were based on the results of an actuarial experience study for the period July 1, 2009 June 30, 2014.
The long-term expected rate of return on pension plan investments was determined using a log-normal distribution analysis in which best-estimate ranges of expected future real rates of return (expected nominal returns, net of pension plan investment expense and the assumed rate of inflation) are developed for each major asset class. These ranges are combined to produce the long-term expected rate of return by weighting the expected future real rates of return by the target asset allocation percentage and by adding expected inflation. The target allocation and best estimates of arithmetic real rates of return for each major asset class are summarized in the following table:

Note 3 - Detailed Notes on All Funds (Continued)

Discount Rate The discount rate used to measure the total pension liability was 7.50 %. The projection of cash flows used to determine the discount rate assumed that plan member contributions will be made at the current contribution rate and that employer and State of Georgia contributions will be made at rates equal to the difference between actuarially determined contribution rates and the member rate. Based on those assumptions, the pension plan's fiduciary net position was projected to be available to make all projected future benefit payments of current plan members. Therefore, the long-term expected rate of return on pension plan investments was applied to all periods of projected benefit payments to determine the total pension liability.

Sensitivity of the Net Pension Liability to Changes in the Discount Rate The following presents the School System
proportionate share of the net pension liability calculated using the discount rate of 7.50%, as well as what the District's proportionate share of the net pension liability would be if it were calculated using a discount rate that is 1-percentage-point lower (6.50 %) or 1-percentage-point higher (8.50 %) than the current rate:

Plan Benefits Benefits for members covered under the 1978 Pension Law are 2% of the participant's final average monthly earnings multiplied by the years of creditable service. For members covered under the 1962 Pension Law, benefits are 1.76% of the participant's final average monthly earnings multiplied by years of creditable service. The maximum monthly benefit is equal to 75% of final average monthly earnings. The Fund awards a 3% cost of living increase annually.
Benefits vest after 10 years of service. Most participants are eligible to receive benefits at 65 and 55 years old with 25 and 30 years of creditable service, respectively, at the time of disability and at death. Benefits vary based on certain benefit elections made by members.
Funding Policy - The contribution requirements of Plan members and the School System are established in accordance with the applicable state and local pension law. Fund members covered under the 1978 law contribute 6.6% of gross salary if beneficiary coverage is elected and 5.6% of gross salary if beneficiary is not elected. Members covered under the 1962 law contribute 6% of gross salary if beneficiary coverage is elected and 5% of gross salary if beneficiary coverage was not elected. Members covered under laws prior to 1962 contribute amounts prescribed in those laws. The School System's contribution is the actuarially determined amount necessary to fund Plan benefits; the current rate is 40.09% of annual covered payroll. The contribution requirements of Plan members and the School System are established and may be amended by the Pension Board. Total contributions to the Plan for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2017 was $24,333,000.
Net Pension Liability - The School System's net pension liability was measured as of June 30, 2017, and the total pension liability used to calculate the net pension liability was determined by an actuarial valuation as of that date.
The components of the net pension liability of the School System at June 30, 2017 were as follows:

Actuarial Assumptions The total pension liability was determined by an actuarial valuation as of July 1, 2016 with update procedures performed by the actuary to roll forward to the total pension liability measured as of June 30, 2017. The following actuarial assumptions apply to all periods included in the measurement:

Inflation Salary increases Mortality Investment rate of return Cost of living adjustments

2.75% Service-graded rates RP-2000 mortality set forward 7% net of expenses, including inflation
3%

The actuarial assumptions used in the June 30, 2016 valuation were based on the results of an actuarial experience study for the period of July 1, 2006 June 30, 2011.

The long-term expected rate of return on pension plan investments was determined using a building-block method in which

best-estimate ranges of expected future real rates of return (expected returns, net of pension plan investment expense and

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:

Discount Rate The discount rate used to measure the total pension liability was 7%. The projection of cash flows used to determine the discount rate assumed that employee contributions will be made at the current contribution rate and that the School System's contributions will be made at rates equal to the difference between actuarially determined contribution rates and the employee 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 active and inactive employees. 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.

Actuarial valuations involve estimates of the value of reported amounts and assumptions about the probability of events far into the future, and actuarially determined amounts are subject to continual revision as results are compared to past expectations and new estimates are made about the future. Actuarial calculations reflect a long-term perspective. Calculations are based on the substantive plan in effect as of June 30, 2017 and the current sharing pattern of costs between employer and employee.

For the Fiscal Year Ended June 30, 2017 Note 3 - Detailed Notes on All Funds (Continued) 3-J. Other Postemployment Employment Benefits Plan Description. The Georgia School Personnel Postemployment Health Benefit Fund (School OPEB Fund) is a costsharing multiple-employer defined benefit postemployment healthcare plan that covers eligible former employees of public school systems, libraries and regional educational service agencies. The School OPEB Fund provides health insurance benefits to eligible former employees and their qualified beneficiaries through the State Employees Health Benefit Plan administered by the Department of Community Health. The Official Code of Georgia Annotated (O.C.G.A.) assigns the authority to establish and amend the benefit provisions of the group health plans, including benefits for retirees, to the Board of Community Health (Board). Additional information about the School OPEB Fund is disclosed in the State of Georgia Comprehensive Annual Financial Report. This report can be obtained from the Georgia Department of Audits and Accounts at www.audits.ga.gov/SGD/CAFR.html. Funding Policy. The contribution requirements of plan members and participating employers are established by the Board in accordance with the current Appropriations Act and may be amended by the Board. Contributions of plan members or beneficiaries receiving benefits vary based on plan election, dependent coverage, and Medicare eligibility and election. For members with fewer than five years of service as of January 1, 2012, contributions also vary based on years of service. On average, members with five years or more of service as of January 1, 2012, pay approximately 25 percent of the cost of the health insurance coverage. In accordance with the Board resolution dated December 8, 2011, for members with fewer than five years of service as of January 1, 2012, the State provides a premium subsidy in retirement that ranges from 0% for fewer than 10 years of service to 75% (but no greater than the subsidy percentage offered to active employees) for 30 or more years of service. The subsidy for eligible dependents ranges from 0% to 55% (but no greater than the subsidy percentage offered to dependents of active employees minus 20%). No subsidy is available to Medicare eligible members not enrolled in a Medicare Advantage Option. The Board of Community Health sets all member premiums by resolution and in accordance with the law and applicable revenue and expense projections. Any subsidy policy adopted by the Board may be changed at any time by Board resolution and does not constitute a contract or promise of any amount of subsidy. Participating employers are statutorily required to contribute in accordance with the employer contribution rates established by the Board. The contribution rates are established to fund all benefits due under the health insurance plans for both active and retired employees based on projected "pay-as-you-go" financing requirements. Contributions are not based on the actuarially calculated annual required contribution (ARC) which represents a level of funding that, if paid on an ongoing basis, is projected to cover normal cost each year and amortize any unfunded actuarial liabilities (or funding excess) over a period not to exceed thirty years.

4-A. Risk Management

The School System is exposed to various risks of loss related to torts; theft of, damage to, and destruction of assets (property, plant and equipment); Management Liability (School Board Legal); Workers Compensation (job related injuries or illnesses to employees); Fleet accidents (vehicle(s)); theft of funds (money, securities, etc.); Acts of God and Unemployment Compensation.

The School System has in place commercial insurance for risk of loss exposures associated with assets (property, plant and equipment) and theft of funds (money, securities, etc.). Effective July 1, 2009 the School System began self-insuring the following exposures under a Defense and Indemnity Agreement: Fleet (all District owned vehicles), School Children in Transit; Employment Related Incidents, excluding Workers Compensation, Management Liability, and General Liability. The School System also relies on the protection of Sovereign Immunity under the Georgia Constitution.

Workers' Compensation Claims The School System has elected to self-insure its Workers' Compensation exposure. The School System has established a Risk Management Program to include Workers' Compensation administration and claims. In connection with this program, a Self-Insurance Reserve Fund has been established within the General Fund by the School System. The School System accounts for claims within the General Fund with expenses/expenditures and liabilities being reported when it is probable that a loss has occurred and the amount of that loss can be reasonably estimated.

Changes in the Workers' Compensation claims liability during the last three fiscal years are as follows:

4-B. Contingent Liabilities

The School System has received federal and state grants for specific purposes that are subject to review and audit by the grantor agencies or their designee. These audits could result in a request for reimbursement to the grantor agency for costs disallowed under terms of the grant. Based on prior experience, the School System believes such disallowances, if any, will be immaterial.

The School System was a defendant in several lawsuits at June 30, 2017. In the opinion of School System management, the outcome of these contingencies will not have a material effect on the financial position of the School System.

Notes to the Schedule:
(1) Changes of assumptions: Post-retirement mortality rates were based on the 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) for service retirements and dependent beneficiaries. The RP-2000 Disabled Mortality Table with future mortality improvement projected to 2025 with Society of Actuaries' projection scale BB (set forward two years for males and four years for females) was used for death after disability retirement. There is a margin for future mortality improvement in the tables used by the System. Based on the results of the most recent experience study adopted by the Board on November 18, 2015, the numbers of expected future deaths are 8-11% less than the actual number of deaths that occurred during the study period for healthy retirees and 9-11% less than expected under the selected table for disabled retirees. Rates of mortality in active service were based on the RP-2000 Employee Mortality Table projected to 2025 with projection scale BB.
(2) Method and assumptions used in calculations of actuarially determined contributions: The actuarially determined contribution rates in the schedule of contributions are calculated as of June 30, three (3) years prior to the end of the fiscal year in which contributions are reported. The following actuarial methods and assumptions were used to determine the contractually required contributions for the fiscal year June 30, 2017 reported in that schedule:

Valuation date Actuarial cost method Amortization method Remaining amortization period Asset valuation method Inflation rate Salary increases Investment Rate of Return Post-Retirement Benefit Increases

Statistical Section
Dolvin ES Cao Lillian ~ 1st Grade

Fulton County Board of Education, Georgia Introduction to the Statistical Section
(Unaudited)

This part of Fulton County Board of Education's (School System) comprehensive annual financial report presents detailed information as a context for understanding this fiscal year's financial statements, note disclosures, and supplementary information. This information is unaudited.
Contents
Financial Trends
These tables contain financial statement trend information that may assist the reader in assessing the School System's current financial performance by placing it in a historical perspective. In fiscal year 2009, the School System blended its charter schools as special revenue funds. In fiscal year 2011 the charter schools were reclassifed as discretely presented component units. Fiscal year 2008 have not been restated to reflect these changes in the reporting entity.
Revenue Capacity These tables contain information that may assist the reader in assessing the viability of the School System's two most significant "own-source" revenue sources: property taxes and sales taxes.
Debt Capacity These tables present information that may assist the reader in analyzing the affordability of the School System's current levels of outstanding debt and the School System's ability to issue additional debt in the future.
Demographic and Economic Information These tables present demographic and economic information intended (1) to assist users in understanding the socioeconomic environment within which the School System operates and (2) to provide information that facilitates comparisons of financial statement information over time and among school systems.
Operating Information These tables contain service indicators that can improve one's understanding on how the information in the School System's financial statements relates to the services the School System provides and the activities it performs.
Data Source: Unless otherwise noted, the information in these tables is derived from the Comprehensive Annual Financial Report for the applicable fiscal year.

Notes: 1 Accounting standards require that net position be reported in three components in the financial statements: net investment in capital assets; restricted; and unrestricted. Net position are considered restricted only when (1) an external party, such as the Georgia Department of Education or the Federal government, places a restriction on how the resources may be used, or (2) enabling legislation is enacted by the School District.
2 The large increases in these amounts represent the construction of school buildings funded by the special purpose local option sales tax.
3 In fiscal year 2014, the School District inplemented GASB Statement No. 68 which required a restatement of the 6/30/2014 net position . The School System now is recording a net pension liability and other related pension deferred inflows and outflows accounts.

Notes: 1 For consistency, certain amounts have been reclassified between reserved and unreserved fund balances.
2 Beginning in fiscal year 2005, large construction contracts have been encumbered, resulting in deficit unreserved fund balances. These deficits will be eliminated as sales taxes are collected.
3 In fiscal year 2008, the School System retired early a long-term pension note payable of $38,015,118, resulting in a reduction of the unreserved fund balance.

Notes: 1 Overlapping rates are those of governments that overlap the School District's geographic boundaries. 2 Underlying rates are those of the cities that apply to property owners located within Fulton County.
3 The State of Georgia levies one fifthteenth of one mill on each county's taxable property to help finance their certification of each Georgia county's tax digest.
4 The tax year is one year prior to the fiscal year. 5 The legal limit is 25 mills. 6 Although located within Fulton County, the City of Atlanta operates their own school district, therefore, their tax rates are not applicable to taxpayers of the School District.

Notes: 1 An education special purpose local option sales tax (ESPLOST) was approved November 11, 2011 and is effective January 1, 2012 and expires June 30, 2017. These taxes will be used towards the cost of acquiring, constructing, equipping and upgrading various school facilities and improvements and to repay principal and interest on outstanding School District bonded indebtedness.
2 The one-percent local option sales tax was approved by referendum October 1, 1987 and is effective indefinitely. The County is required to reduce their property tax millage rate in the current fiscal year by the amount of these taxes collected in the prior fiscal year. 3 This sales tax rate is levied in counties in the Metropolitan Atlanta Rapid Transit Authority (MARTA) district which have a service contract with MARTA, currently Fulton and DeKalb counties.
4 Some incorporated areas within the County also levy the one-percent local option sales tax.

Creekside HS Alexandria Jackson ~ 10th Grade

INDEPENDENT AUDITOR'S REPORT ON INTERNAL CONTROL OVER FINANCIAL REPORTING AND ON COMPLIANCE AND OTHER MATTERS BASED ON AN AUDIT
OF FINANCIAL STATEMENTS PERFORMED IN ACCORDANCE WITH GOVERNMENT AUDITING STANDARDS
To the Superintendent and Members of the Fulton County Board of Education
Atlanta, Georgia
We have audited, in accordance with auditing standards generally accepted in the United States of America and the standards applicable to financial audits contained in Government Auditing Standards issued by the Comptroller General of the United States, the financial statements of the governmental activities, each major fund, and the aggregate remaining fund information of the Fulton County Board of Education (the "School System") as of and for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2017, and the related notes to the financial statements, which collectively comprise the School System's basic financial statements, and have issued our report thereon dated December 27, 2017.
Internal Control Over Financial Reporting
In planning and performing our audit of the financial statements, we considered the School System's internal control over financial reporting ("internal control") to determine the audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances for the purpose of expressing our opinions on the financial statements, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the School System's internal control. Accordingly, we do not express an opinion on the effectiveness of the School System's internal control.
A deficiency in internal control exists when the design or operation of a control does not allow management or employees, in the normal course of performing their assigned functions, to prevent, or detect and correct, misstatements on a timely basis. A material weakness is a deficiency, or a combination of deficiencies, in internal control, such that there is a reasonable possibility that a material misstatement of the entity's financial statements will not be prevented, or detected and corrected on a timely basis. A significant deficiency is a deficiency, or a combination of deficiencies, in internal control that is less severe than a material weakness, yet important enough to merit attention by those charged with governance.
Our consideration of internal control was for the limited purpose described in the first paragraph of this section and was not designed to identify all deficiencies in internal control that might be material weaknesses or significant deficiencies. Given these limitations, during our audit we did not identify any deficiencies in internal control that we consider to be material weaknesses. However, material weaknesses may exist that have not been identified.

Compliance and Other Matters As part of obtaining reasonable assurance about whether the Fulton County Board of Education's financial statements are free from material misstatement, we performed tests of its compliance with certain provisions of laws, regulations, contracts, and grant agreements, noncompliance with which could have a direct and material effect on the determination of financial statement amounts. However, providing an opinion on compliance with those provisions was not an objective of our audit, and accordingly, we do not express such an opinion. The results of our tests disclosed no instances of noncompliance or other matters that are required to be reported under Government Auditing Standards. Purpose of this Report The purpose of this report is solely to describe the scope of our testing of internal control and compliance and the result of that testing, and not to provide an opinion on the effectiveness of the entity's internal control or on compliance. This report is an integral part of an audit performed in accordance with Government Auditing Standards in considering the entity's internal control and compliance. Accordingly, this communication is not suitable for any other purpose.

INDEPENDENT AUDITOR'S REPORT ON COMPLIANCE FOR EACH MAJOR FEDERAL PROGRAM AND REPORT ON INTERNAL CONTROL
OVER COMPLIANCE REQUIRED BY THE UNIFORM GUIDANCE
To the Superintendent and Members of the Fulton County Board of Education
Atlanta, Georgia
Report on Compliance for Each Major Federal Program
We have audited the Fulton County Board of Education's (the "School System's") compliance with the types of compliance requirements described in the OMB Compliance Supplement that could have a direct and material effect on each of the School System's major federal programs for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2017. The School System's major federal programs are identified in the summary of auditor's results section of the accompanying schedule of findings and questioned costs.
Management's Responsibility
Management is responsible for compliance with federal statutes, regulations, and the terms and conditions of its federal awards applicable to its federal programs.
Auditor's Responsibility
Our responsibility is to express an opinion on compliance for each of the School System's major federal programs based on our audit of the types of compliance requirements referred to above. We conducted our audit of compliance in accordance with auditing standards generally accepted in the United States of America; the standards applicable to financial audits contained in Government Auditing Standards, issued by the Comptroller General of the United States; and the audit requirements of Title 2 U.S. Code of Federal Regulations Part 200, Uniform Administrative Requirements, Cost Principles, and Audit Requirements for Federal Awards (Uniform Guidance). Those standards and the Uniform Guidance require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether noncompliance with the types of compliance requirements referred to above that could have a direct and material effect on a major federal program occurred. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence about the School System's compliance with those requirements and performing such other procedures as we considered necessary in the circumstances.
We believe that our audit provides a reasonable basis for our opinion on compliance for each major federal program. However, our audit does not provide a legal determination of the School System's compliance.
Opinion on Each Major Federal Program
In our opinion, the Fulton County Board of Education complied, in all material respects, with the types of compliance requirements referred to above that could have a direct and material effect on each of its major federal programs for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2017.
200 GALLERIA PARKWAY S.E., SUITE 1700 ATLANTA, GA 30339-5946 770-955-8600 800-277-0080 FAX 770-980-4489 www.mjcpa.com Members of The American Institute of Certified Public Accountants

Report on Internal Control Over Compliance
Management of the School System is responsible for establishing and maintaining effective internal control over compliance with the types of compliance requirements referred to above. In planning and performing our audit of compliance, we considered the School System's internal control over compliance with the types of requirements that could have a direct and material effect on each major federal program to determine the auditing procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances for the purpose of expressing an opinion on compliance for each major federal program and to test and report on internal control over compliance in accordance with the Uniform Guidance, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of internal control over compliance. Accordingly, we do not express an opinion on the effectiveness of the School System's internal control over compliance.
A deficiency in internal control over compliance exists when the design or operation of a control over compliance does not allow management or employees, in the normal course of performing their assigned functions, to prevent, or detect and correct, noncompliance with a type of compliance requirement of a federal program on a timely basis. A material weakness in internal control over compliance is a deficiency, or combination of deficiencies, in internal control over compliance, such that there is a reasonable possibility that material noncompliance with a type of compliance requirement of a federal program will not be prevented, or detected and corrected, on a timely basis. A significant deficiency in internal control over compliance is a deficiency, or a combination of deficiencies, in internal control over compliance with a type of compliance requirement of a federal program that is less severe than a material weakness in internal control over compliance, yet important enough to merit attention by those charged with governance.
Our consideration of internal control over compliance was for the limited purpose described in the first paragraph of this section and was not designed to identify all deficiencies in internal control over compliance that might be material weaknesses or significant deficiencies. We did not identify any deficiencies in internal control over compliance that we consider to be material weaknesses. However, material weaknesses may exist that have not been identified.
The purpose of this report on internal control over compliance is solely to describe the scope of our testing of internal control over compliance and the results of that testing based on the requirements of the Uniform Guidance. Accordingly, this report is not suitable for any other purpose.

Criteria: Internal controls should be in place to ensure the amounts reported by the School System for its annual capital asset activity should be complete and properly classified.

Condition and Context: For the fiscal year ended June 30, 2016, the School System's capital asset activity and summary provided for the financial statements was not complete and did not properly classify activity into the depreciable vs. nondepreciable categories.

Effects or possible effects: Adjusting journal entries were required in the SPLOST III Capital Projects Fund and the SPLOST IV Capital Projects Fund in the approximate amounts of $125,000 and $513,000, respectively, to accrue retainage payable for the School System's ongoing construction projects. Furthermore, in the statement of net position, reclassifications totaling approximately $220 million were required to properly move completed projects from the nondepreciable category to the appropriate depreciable category for proper reporting in the financial statements.

Status: Corrected for the current fiscal year's audit.

Timely Completion of Accurate Bank Account Reconciliations

Criteria: Complete reconciliations of all of the School System's bank accounts should be performed on a monthly basis in accordance with a sound internal control environment. These reconciliations should be complete and any unadjusted differences noted in the process should be reconciled and recorded in the general ledger as applicable.

Condition and Context: For the fiscal year ended June 30, 2016, the School System was carrying several items at the bottom of the reconciliations for the General Fund Operating Account and Pension Fund Operating Account as "Withdrawals/debits on statement not posted to G/L." Based on our discussions with School System personnel, it was determined that these items were wire or ACH payments that had posted to the School System's bank accounts but had not been recorded in the general ledger as there were issues with properly recording these items.

Effects or possible effects: Adjusting journal entries were required in the General Fund and Pension Trust Fund in the approximate amounts of $1,047,000 and $275,000, respectively, to record these items that had cleared the bank accounts but had not been posted in the general ledger.

Status: Corrected for the current fiscal year's audit.

Allowable Costs / Activities Allowed or Unallowed

Program: U.S. Department of Education (CFDA No. 84.027, 84.173) CFDA Program Title: Title VI, Part B IDEA Special Education Cluster

Criteria: Title 2, Subtitle A, Chapter II, Part 200, Subpart E of the Uniform Guidance states, "Charges to Federal awards for salaries and wages must be based on records that accurately reflect the work performed. These records must (i) be supported by a system of internal controls which provides reasonable assurance that the charges are accurate, allowable, and properly allocated; (ii) be incorporated into the official records of the non-Federal entity; (iii) reasonable reflect the total activity for which the employee is compensated by the non-Federal entity, not exceeding 100% of compensated activities; (iv) encompass both federally assisted and all other activities compensated by the non-Federal entity on an integrated basis, but may include the use of subsidiary records as defined in the non-Federal entity's written policy; (v) comply with the established accounting policies and practices of the non-Federal entity; and (vii) support the distribution of the employee's salary or wages among specific activities or cost objectives if the employee works on more than one Federal award; a Federal award and nonFederal award; an indirect cost activity and a direct cost activity; two or more indirect activities which are allocated using different allocation bases; or an unallowable activity and a direct or indirect cost activity."

Condition and Context: To comply with the above requirements, the School System utilizes periodic certifications and/or time and effort logs to document the amount of employee salaries and wages that are allowable to be charged to its Federal awards. For the fiscal year ended June 30, 2016, our testing of these amounts that were charged to the Special Education Cluster indicated that there was a breakdown in internal controls for a specific type of employee.

Questioned Costs: Known questioned costs of $45,770.

Status: Corrected for the current fiscal year's audit.
