Independent Auditor's Report
The Board of Education Griffin-Spalding County School System Griffin, 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 Griffin-Spalding County School System, as of and for the year ended June 30, 2020, and the related notes to the financial statements, which collectively comprise Griffin-Spalding County 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 government'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 government'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.

Griffin-Spalding County School System Management's Discussion and Analysis
For the Year Ended June 30, 2020
The discussion and analysis of Griffin-Spalding County School System's (herein referred to as the "System") financial performance provides an overall review of the System's financial activities for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2020. The intent of this discussion and analysis is to look at the System's financial performance as a whole. Readers should also review the financial statements and notes to the financial statements to enhance their understanding of the System's financial performance.
Financial Highlights
The assets of the System exceeded its liabilities at June 30, 2020, by $47,571,347.
Net position increased by a total of $5,679,534 from the beginning of the year. The increase is attributable to Special Purpose Local Option Sales Tax (SPLOST) revenue which financed investments made in capital assets during the year and increases in state revenues coupled with a decrease in certain expense categories related to the coronavirus pandemic.
The System-wide Statement of Net Position includes the employer's proportionate share of pension liabilities in accordance with GASB 68 and the net Other Post-employment Benefits (OPEB) liability in accordance with GASB 75. Net pension liability as of June 30, 2020, was $103,486,731. Net OPEB liability as of June 30, 2020, was $77,432,697.
At June 30, 2020, the System's General Fund reported a fund balance of $20,754,415, an increase of $2,698,185 from the prior fiscal year. Of this total, $559,064 has been committed to the risk management function in compliance with GASB 54. Unassigned fund balance totaled $20,195,351.
SPLOST collections in fiscal year 2020 increased 8.11% as compared to collections in fiscal year 2019.
The System's current general obligation bond indebtedness, net of related premiums, is $6,784,515. Principal and interest debt service payments were made in FY20 in the amount of $4,900,000 and $434,602, respectively.
Overview of the Financial Statements
This discussion and analysis is intended to serve as an introduction to the System's basic financial statements. The basic financial statements comprise three components: 1) System-wide financial statements, 2) fund financial statements, and 3) notes to the financial statements. This report also contains other supplementary information in addition to the basic financial statements themselves.
-4-
System-wide Financial Statements
The System-wide financial statements are designed to provide readers with a broad overview of the System's finances in a manner similar to a private-sector business.
The Statement of Net Position presents information on all of the System's assets and liabilities with the difference between the two reported as net position. Over time, increases or decreases in net position may serve as a useful indicator of whether the financial position of the System is improving or deteriorating. It is important to note that this statement consolidates the System's current financial resources (short-term) with capital assets and long-term liabilities.
The Statement of Activities presents information showing how the System's net position changed during the most recent fiscal year. All changes in net position are reported as soon as the underlying event giving rise to the change occurs, regardless of the timing of related cash flows. Thus, revenues and expenses are reported in this statement for some items that will result in cash flows in future fiscal periods (e.g. uncollected taxes, etc.)
Fund Financial Statements
A fund is a grouping of related accounts that is used to maintain control over resources that have been segregated for specific activities or objectives. The System, like other state and local governments, uses fund accounting to ensure and demonstrate compliance with finance-related legal requirements. All of the funds of the System can be divided into two categories: governmental funds and fiduciary funds.
Governmental Funds
Most of the System's activities are reported in governmental funds focusing on how money flows in and out of those funds and the balances left at year-end available for spending in future periods. The governmental fund statements provide a detailed shortterm view of the System's general government operations and the basic services it provides. Governmental fund information helps determine whether there are more or less financial resources that can be spent in the near future to finance educational programs.
Fiduciary Funds
The System is the trustee, or fiduciary, for assets that belong to others such as club and class funds and payroll withholding funds. The System is responsible for ensuring assets reported in these funds are used only for their intended purposes and by those to whom the assets belong.
-5-
Notes to Financial Statements
The notes provide additional information that is essential to a full understanding of the data provided in the system-wide and fund financial statements.
System-wide Financial Analysis
As noted earlier, net position may serve over time as a useful indicator of a government's financial position. As of June 30, 2020, System assets exceeded liabilities by $47,571,347.
Assets By far, the largest portion the System's total assets (73.60 percent) reflects its investment in capital assets (e.g. buildings, land, machinery and equipment, construction in progress) net of depreciation related to those assets. The System uses the capital assets to provide services to our students, faculty, and community; consequently, these assets are not available for future spending. Capital asset increases are directly related to the continued investment of Special Purpose Local Option Sales Tax (SPLOST) revenues into renovation work, buses, and instructional technology. Current and other assets held relatively steady compared to the prior year. Cash and cash equivalents and property taxes receivable were slightly lower than FY19.
Deferred outflows and inflows of resources Deferred outflows of resources represents a consumption of resources that applies to a future period and therefore will not be recognized as an outflow of resources until then. Deferred inflows of resources represents an acquisition of resources that applies to a future period and therefore will not be recognized as an inflow of resources until that time. These two financial statement elements represent the System's contributions to the pension plans and other post-employment benefits as well as the changes in assumptions and actuarial values of those plans. Deferred outflow of resources increased $10,370,294 and deferred inflow of resources increased $4,763,131 based on the changes in the contributions and actuarial values. Note 11, Retirement Plans, and Note 12, Other PostEmployment Benefits (OPEB) provide details for the calculation of these amounts.
Liabilities Liabilities included significant changes in three areas: bonds payable, proportionate share of net pension liability and proportionate share of net OPEB liability. Bonds payable decreased due to the payment of $4,900,000 in principal during FY20. Proportionate share of net pension liability and net OPEB liability represent the System's share of state pension plans (e.g. TRS, ERS, PSERS) and health insurance (State Health) for retirees. These liabilities are based on actuarial values provided by the respective pension plans and State Health Benefit Plan. Note 11, Retirement Plans, and Note 12, Other Post-Employment Benefits (OPEB) provide details for the calculation of these amounts.

Net Position The System's total net position represents resources that are subject to external restrictions on how they may be used. Comprising the majority of restricted net position are assets being accumulated for use in capital projects accounting for 61.39% of total restricted net position. The remaining 38.61% of restricted net position represents funds set aside for debt service payments, non-expendable, permanent funds and funds set aside for the continuation of federal and other programs.
Unrestricted net position includes the school system's proportionate share of the collective net pension liability in each cost sharing benefit plan in which the district participates. For the second year, the net Other Post-employment Benefits (OPEB) liability was also recorded to reflect the school system's share of healthcare benefits for retirees. The net pension liability was first recorded on the FY2015 system-wide financials as part of the implementation of GASB 68. The net OPEB liability was recorded in FY2018 as part of the implementation of GASB 75. Because of these changes, the System continues to report a deficit unrestricted net position on the Systemwide Statement of Net Position.

Changes in Net Position from Operating Results Net position increased $5,679,534 from operating results in the fiscal year ended June 30, 2019, compared to an increase of $9,680,357 in the prior fiscal year. Revenues In 2020, the System's total revenues increased $6,854,397 (5.44%) over FY19.
Operating grants and contributions increased by 6.40%, or $5.50 million, primarily due to an increase in the State QBE funding formula which takes into account student growth (FTEs) and increased funding for salary and benefit costs. The primary driver of additional QBE funds was an increase in the employer's contribution to the Teachers Retirement System of Georgia (TRS), which is in the funding formula and increased from 20.90% to 21.14%, and appropriations for a certified employee salary increase of $3,000.
General property taxes increased $1,177,780. Ad valorem taxes showed a steady increase while Title Ad Valorem Taxes (TAVT), a tax on motor vehicles, increased as well.
Special Purpose Local Option Sales Tax (SPLOST) increased 8.10%, or $.78 million, due to strong growth in spending in the local economy.
Investment earnings decreased 46.31%, or $.46 million, as interest rates on the GA Fund I investment pool declined from 2.41% to .25% on higher average account balances.
Expenses In 2020, the System's total expenses increased $10,855,220 (9.33%) over FY19.
Pension expense and OPEB expense increased $7.8 million. This expense is spread out among the functional categories.
Salary expense increased due to longevity steps on the state salary schedule for certified employees, a $3,000 raise to the certified employee salary schedule and a 3% raise to the classified employees salary schedule.
Key elements of the increase are as follows on the next page:

Financial Analysis of the System's Funds
General Fund Budgetary Highlights
The System's budget is prepared in accordance with Georgia law and is based on accounting for certain transactions on the modified accrual basis of accounting. The System uses site-based budgeting and the budgeting system is designed to tightly control site budgets but provide flexibility for site management.
The most significant budgeted fund is the general fund. The original fiscal year 2020 budget, as adopted, did not project a use of fund balance. The amended budget did use fund balance in the amount of $667,761. Revenues were projected to be $98,867,939 and expenditures and other financing uses were projected to be $98,867,939. These amounts represented an increase of 5.04% from fiscal year 2019 actual revenues and an increase of 5.77% from fiscal year 2019 actual expenditures. The System's earnings under the State's Quality Basic Education (QBE) funding formula remained steady. With sustained revenue growth, the Georgia General Assembly was able to eliminate the "amended formula adjustment," which has negatively impacted the funding formula for sixteen years. This formula adjustment effectively decreased the amount of funding earned by school systems according to the QBE formula in order to meet state revenue projections. With the increase in funding, however, came increases in mandated costs. These costs included the required longevity steps on the state salary schedule for certified employees, a $3,000 raise to the certified employee salary schedule and an increase in the employer's contribution to the Teachers Retirement System of Georgia (TRS) from 20.90% to 21.14%. Classified employees received a raise of 3% to their respective salary schedules. The System also received additional state funds from the equalization grant due to the System's decrease in rankings comparing the relative property wealth per student among Georgia school districts. Budgeted revenues for property taxes and the Title Ad Valorem Tax increased to reflect a decrease in exemptions for industrial properties and an upward trend in the collection of taxes from the sale of motor vehicles. The Board of Education adopted a local property tax millage rate of 17.077, a decrease of .989 mills.
The final amended general fund budget added $1,252,049 to revenues, an increase of 1.26% from the original budget for the year. The amended budget included an increase to state revenues. With revenues through the QBE funding formula increasing, the net result was positive since the school system has health insurance costs that far exceed the amount allotted in the formula. Along with the increase in state funds, local revenues were amended to reflect better collections of property tax and Title Ad Valorem taxes as well as rising investment revenues associated with higher interest rates. Amended revenues also included the addition of several local and state grants received during the year.
The original budget for fiscal year 2020 included appropriated expenditures of $98,867,939. The original budget included funding for a 175 day instructional calendar with teachers working 190 days, a longevity step for all eligible employees, a $3,000 raise to the certified employee pay schedule and an increase to the employer's contribution rate to the Teachers Retirement System of Georgia from 20.90% to 21.14%. FY20 funding initiatives also included the third phase of the development of
-10-
comprehensive curriculum guides, school resource officers at middle and high schools, and transfers to subsidize the nutrition and Pre-Kindergarten programs.
As the year progressed, an amended budget totaling $99,452,227 was approved by the Board of Education, an increase of $584,288 in appropriated expenditures. For internal budgeting purposes, the self-insured workers compensation fund and after-school program are maintained separate from the general fund; however, the amended budget includes collapsing these two accounts into the general fund for the preparation of financial statements. Similar to the revenue side, additional expenditures include several local and state grants received during the year.
General Fund Operations
The general fund finished fiscal year 2020 with a fund balance of $20,754,415, an increase of $2,698,185 from fiscal year 2019. $559,064 of the fund balance was committed to the risk management function in compliance with GASB 54. Actual revenues exceeded budget projections by $1,011,708 while actual expenditures were $1,007,324 lower than budgeted.
Local revenue sources represented 29.64% of total general fund revenues for the year, down from 31.18% in the prior year. Local revenues exceeded budgeted projections by $1,083,041. Ad valorem property taxes exceeded the budgeted amount by $1,053,101. Property taxes are dependent on collection rates of current and prior years while the Title Ad Valorem Tax relates to the volume of vehicles sold during the year. Property taxes held relatively flat while Title Ad Valorem Tax collections increased significantly. State revenues came in on target with the budget difference representing some unused grant funds. Federal revenues are comprised of two items, Medicaid reimbursements for speech services and funding for the Junior Reserve Officers' Training Corps (JROTC) program. Federal revenues increased slightly while compared to the previous operating year.
At year end, total expenditures were under budget by $1,007,324. Expenditures for direct classroom instruction (e.g. teacher salaries and benefits, textbooks, classroom supplies, etc.) accounted for 61.72% of total general fund expenditures, slightly down from the prior fiscal year. Savings in expenditures were spread out among the functional categories. Areas of savings include personnel changes that occur from the time of budget adoption to the end of the year. The budget is a snapshot at one point in time and the school system experiences a significant amount of change in personnel over the summer and throughout the year. This change can lead to savings in salaries as new personnel fill positions held by retirees, people add or drop health benefits, or positions remained unfilled for a period of time. One large area of savings came with the costs associated with reduced transportation and maintenance expenses due to the coronavirus pandemic.

General fund changes in fund balance
State revenues increased $6.28 million due to funding for an increase to the cost of contributions to the Teachers Retirement System of Georgia and the elimination of the amended formula adjustment. State revenues also increased with the implementation of a $3,000 raise to the certified salary scale for teachers. Increases in Title Ad Valorem Tax collections combined with increases in investment earnings comprise the bulk of the change in local revenues.
The largest impact to functional categories was the increase in the TRS contribution rate (20.90% to 21.14%) and adjustment to the certified salary schedule for teachers. The increase in the cost of TRS for the general fund was spread out among the functional categories. The increase in the certified salary schedule for teachers was primarily related to the instructional function increases. Other factors in the changes between years include the following:
Direct instruction includes several additional teachers. Instructional staff also received a longevity step (pay increase) on their respective salary schedules and a certified salary increase of $3,000. Classified employees received a 3% increase to their salary schedule.
Instructional staff support includes the third phase of a significant investment toward the development of curriculum guides following the Rigorous Curriculum Design (RCD) process.
Maintenance and operations and transportation, which have few expenditures related to TRS, include a longevity step (pay increase) on the salary schedule for eligible employees and an increase in health insurance expenditures for classified employees.
Capital Projects Fund Operations
The capital projects fund is used to account for school construction and the purchase of large capital assets. Current capital construction costs continue to be paid directly from prior receipts collected during the 2007 SPLOST (SPLOST III) and 2012 SPLOST (SPLOST IV) cycles and current receipts from the 2015 SPLOST (SPLOST V). SPLOST collections in fiscal year 2020 increased 8.10% compared to fiscal year 2019 with receipts of $10,477,785 and $9,691,463, respectively.
Capital project expenditures primarily consisted of renovation work on SPLOST V projects. These projects included the Griffin Region College and Career Academy, Memorial Stadium, and A.Z. Kelsey Academy. Expenditures also included instructional technology and school buses. The fund balance for the capital projects fund reflects amounts collected for use on projects not yet begun.

Debt Service Fund Operations
The debt service fund is used to accumulate resources for the retirement of long-term debt. The System issued general obligation sales tax bonds in the amount of $13,370,000 in FY16 for capital projects to fund the initial construction of the Griffin Region College and Career Academy, the installation of system-wide instructional technology and bus purchases. The fund reflects principal and interest payments in the amount of $4,900,000 and 434,602, respectively.
Capital Assets and Debt Administration Capital Assets
The System's investment in capital assets for its governmental activities as of June 30, 2020, totaled $177,487,835, net of accumulated depreciation. The investment in capital assets includes land, buildings, vehicles, and equipment used in providing services to our students and community as well as construction in progress on several building projects.
Many of the changes to the System's capital asset accounts came from the renovation of existing buildings. Renovation work at Memorial Stadium, Griffin Region College and Career Academy, and A.Z. Kelsey Academy constituted the majority of the year's activity. Note 4 to the basic financial statements provides additional information on the System's capital assets including a detailed breakdown of the types of capital assets included in the computation of depreciation charges. As of June 30, 2020, 28.42% of the cost basis of depreciable assets had been taken as a depreciation charge since the various assets were placed in service. A summary of capital assets follows.

Debt Administration
The Griffin-Spalding County School System issued General Obligation Sales Tax Bonds, Series 2015, in July 2015. The proceeds of this bond issuance has gone toward the following 2015 SPLOST (SPLOST V) projects: Griffin Region College and Career Academy, the System-wide installation of the Audio Enhancement classroom technology product, and bus purchases.
At June 30, 2020, the System had $6,784,515 in outstanding general obligation bond indebtedness, net of related premiums. The current debt limitation for the System is $147,703,041 based on state law limiting the amount of general obligation debt a government entity may issue to ten (10) percent of the total assessed value of taxable property.
The System maintains a rating of AA from Standard & Poor's for general obligation debt subject to the State intercept program.
Additional information on the System's long-term debt can be found in Note 5 to the basic financial statements.
Outlook for the Future
The System continues to maintain a strong financial position. As the economic position of the State has improved, so has the funding for the school system. FY20 saw the elimination of the cut to the State funding formula, known as the "amended formula adjustment." This cut existed since 2003 and its elimination was a welcome sign of an improving economy. The largest increases in funding were tied to increases in mandated costs such as the employer's contribution to the Teachers Retirement System of Georgia, a $3,000 raise to the certified employee salary schedule and longevity steps on the state salary schedule for certified employees (e.g. teachers). Throughout the past year, state revenues continued to improve prior to the onset of the coronavirus pandemic. With the virus lingering into FY21, the state implemented an austerity reduction to all districts in GA. The Federal government allowed the school district to apply for CARES federal stimulus funds to offset reductions of state funding into the next fiscal year. Month to month growth in state revenues has slowed; likewise, funding for public education is not expected to increase.
The assessed net value of the county property digest increased approximately 4.0% in 2020 due to a large amount of property revaluations. Taxable property from new growth increased $28.9 million in the 2020 tax digest, but some of the increase was offset by an increase in exemptions. As part of the 2019 tax digest, voters in the county approved an assessment freeze on the value of property for seniors aged 65 and older. The school system will have to monitor the impact of the freeze since the state funding formula disregards local exemptions when calculating the value of 5 mills of tax (Local Five Mill Share) removed from the state allotment to the school system. The increase in the tax digest typically has an inverse relationship with funding the system receives through the Equalization Grant, a significant source of funding. The grant can have large shifts from
-15-
one year to the next, so the System will have to be prepared for movement in this allocation.
Effective for FY20, the State changed the allocation percentages to local governments for the Title Ad Valorem Tax (TAVT). TAVT works in a similar manner as a sales tax on motor vehicles and is incrementally replacing motor vehicle property taxes on the tax digest. TAVT has shown very strong increases year over year. The change in the allocation percentage is a beneficial shift to local governments and is expected to result in a sizable increase in TAVT revenues for the Griffin-Spalding County School System. The first few months of collections have shown this to be the case. The increase in this revenue source is anticipated to offset potential declines in state funding based on the increases in Local Five Mill Share and declines in the equalization grant funding.
The Board of Education adopted a millage rate of 16.742 mills, a decrease of .335 mills. This millage rate is the rollback rate that takes into account digest growth from revaluations. By adopting the rollback rate, the System negates the effect of the increased digest from revaluations. While negating the portion of growth from revaluations, the System will receive approximately $492,000 in additional property taxes from new growth. The Board of Education will continue to be mindful in obligating funds for programs and uses that might be needed to cover expenses not funded through state appropriations.
As of June 30, 2020, the General Fund reflected a fund balance of $20,754,415, translating to 78 days of operation based on the fiscal year 2021 budget. Of this balance, $559,064 was committed for risk management purposes by the Board of Education. Through careful planning, the System has been able to make intentional investments in the instructional program without having to resort to drastic changes from one year to the next. The fiscal year 2021 budget includes a 175 day student calendar with 190 work days for teachers, a longevity step for eligible employees on employee pay scales, and support positions at the school level. Financial decisions focus on the sustainability of programs or costs and performance metrics tied to strategic objectives of the system.
We expect student enrollment to remain constant for the foreseeable future. Residential growth has been limited to a senior community in the county; however, building has started for a new apartment complex. The county's industrial park continues to pick up new industries, albeit at a slow pace. Initially, these industries include abatements in school property taxes, but a regular phase out of these abatements will help the digest to grow over time. Overall, growth in population and new construction is incremental.

RECONCILIATION OF THE GOVERNMENTAL FUNDS BALANCE SHEET TO THE STATEMENT OF NET POSITION JUNE 30, 2020
Total fund balances - governmental funds
Amounts reported for governmental activities in the statement of net position are different because:
Other long-term assets are not available to pay for current period expenditures: Property taxes reported as unavailable revenue in the funds
Capital assets used in governmental activities are not financial resources and therefore are not reported as assets in governmental funds. The cost of the assets is $243,254,283 and the accumulated depreciation is $65,766,448
Long-term liabilities, including net pension obligations, are not due and payable in the current period and therefore are not reported in the funds. Long-term liabilities at year-end consist of:
Accrued interest Net pension liability Net OPEB liability Bonds payable Premium on bonds issued Accumulated amortization of bond premium
Deferred outflows and inflows of resources related to pensions are applicable to future periods and, therefore, are not reported in the funds
Deferred outflow of employer contributions related to pensions Deferred outflow of resources - proportionate share of collective deferred outflows of resources Deferred outflow of resources related to OPEB
Deferred inflow of resources from the difference between expected and actual experience Deferred inflow of resources from the difference between projected and actual earnings

GRIFFIN-SPALDING COUNTY SCHOOL SYSTEM GRIFFIN, GEORGIA
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS FOR THE YEAR ENDED JUNE 30, 2020
NOTE 1: Summary of Significant Accounting Policies
A. Reporting Entity
The Griffin-Spalding County School System (the "System") was established under the laws of the State of Georgia and operates under the guidance of a school board elected by the voters and a Superintendent appointed by the Board. The financial statements of the System have been prepared in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (GAAP) as applied to governmental units. The Governmental Accounting Standards Board (GASB) is the accepted standard-setting body for establishing governmental accounting and financial reporting principles.
The System's combined financial statements include the accounts of all System operations. The criteria for including organizations as component units within the System's reporting entity, as set forth in Financial Reporting Standards, include whether:
The organization is legally separate The Board holds the corporate powers of the organization The Board appoints a voting majority of the organization's board The Board is able to impose its own will on the organization The organization has the potential to impose a financial benefit/burden on the
System There is fiscal dependency by the organization on the System
Based on the aforementioned criteria, the System has no component units.
B. System-wide and fund financial statements
The system-wide financial statements (i.e., the statement of net position and the statement of activities) report information of the nonfiduciary activities of the primary government. For the most part, the effect of interfund activity has been removed from these statements. However, interfund services provided and used are not eliminated in the process of consolidation. Normally, governmental activities are supported by taxes and intergovernmental revenues.

GRIFFIN-SPALDING COUNTY SCHOOL SYSTEM GRIFFIN, GEORGIA
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS FOR THE YEAR ENDED JUNE 30, 2020
NOTE 1: Summary of Significant Accounting Policies (Continued)
The statement of activities demonstrates the degree to which the direct expenses of a given function or segment is offset by program revenues. Direct expenses are those that are clearly identifiable with a specific function or segment. Program revenues include 1) charges to customers or applicants who purchase, use, or directly benefit from goods, services, or privileges provided by a given function or segment and 2) grants and contributions that are restricted to meeting the operational or capital requirements of a particular function or segment. Taxes and other items not properly included among program revenues are reported instead as general revenues.
Separate financial statements are provided for governmental funds and fiduciary funds, even though the latter are excluded from the system-wide financial statements. Major individual governmental funds are reported as separate columns in the fund financial statements.
C. Measurement focus, basis of accounting, and financial statement presentation
The system-wide financial statements are reported using the economic resources measurement focus and the accrual basis of accounting. The fiduciary fund financial statements are also reported using the accrual basis of accounting; however, fiduciary funds have no measurement focus. Revenues are recorded when earned and expenses are recorded when a liability is incurred, regardless of the timing of related cash flows. Property taxes are recognized as revenues in the year for which they are levied. Grants and similar items are recognized as revenue as soon as all eligibility requirements imposed by the provider have been met.
The State of Georgia reimburses the School System for teachers' salaries and operating costs through the Quality Basic Education Formula Earnings program (QBE). 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 respective rules and regulations of the QBE program, the State of Georgia reimburses the School System over the same twelve month period in which teachers are paid. At June 30, the amount of teachers' salaries incurred but not paid until July and August of the subsequent year are accrued. Since the State of Georgia recognizes its QBE liability for the July and August salaries at June 30, the School System recognizes its portion of that reimbursement as a receivable and revenue, consistent with symmetrical recognition.

GRIFFIN-SPALDING COUNTY SCHOOL SYSTEM GRIFFIN, GEORGIA
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS FOR THE YEAR ENDED JUNE 30, 2020
NOTE 1: Summary of Significant Accounting Policies (Continued)
Governmental fund financial statements are reported using the current financial resources measurement focus and the modified accrual basis of accounting. Revenues are recognized as soon as they are both measurable and available. Revenues are considered to be available when they are collectible within the current period or soon enough thereafter to pay liabilities of the current period. For this purpose, the System considers revenues to be available if they are collected within 60 days of the end of the current fiscal period. Expenditures generally are recorded when a liability is incurred, as under accrual accounting. However, debt service expenditures, as well as expenditures related to compensated absences and claims and judgments, are recorded only when payment is due. Property taxes associated with the current fiscal period are all considered to be susceptible to accrual and so have been recognized as revenues of the current fiscal period. Only the portion of special assessments receivable due within the current fiscal period is considered to be susceptible to accrual as revenue of the current period. All other revenue items are considered to be measurable and available only when cash is received by the System.
The System reports the following major governmental funds:
The general fund is the operating fund of the System. It is used to account for all financial resources except those required to be accounted for in another fund.
The capital projects fund is used to account for financial resources to be used for the acquisition or construction of major capital facilities.
The debt service fund is used to account for the accumulation of financial resources for the payment of principal, interest and related costs on general long-term debt.
Additionally, the School System reports the following funds:
The special revenue funds are used to account for federal and state funded grants. These grants are awarded to the System for the purpose of accomplishing specific educational tasks, which are defined in the grant agreements. These funds contain several locally funded programs whose expenditures are restricted to specific purposes. In addition, these funds are used to account for the school nutrition program whose revenues and expenditures are associated with the operations of the school cafeterias.

GRIFFIN-SPALDING COUNTY SCHOOL SYSTEM GRIFFIN, GEORGIA
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS FOR THE YEAR ENDED JUNE 30, 2020
NOTE 1: Summary of Significant Accounting Policies (Continued)
Permanent funds are used to account for assets held by the System resulting from a trust arrangement in which the System is the beneficiary which include scholarships and endowments.
The permanent funds apply the current financial resources measurement focus and modified accrual basis of accounting. Nonexpendable permanent funds account for assets of which the principal may not be spent.
Agency funds are used to account for assets held on behalf of outside parties.
The agency funds are custodial in nature (assets equal liabilities) and do not present the results of operations nor have a measurement focus. Agency funds are accounted for using the accrual basis of accounting. These fiduciary funds are used to account for assets that the System holds on behalf of other funds of the System and are comprised primarily of amounts collected through fundraising efforts of individual school activity organizations.
Amounts reported as program revenues include 1) charges to customers or application for goods, services, or privileges provided, 2) operating grants and contributions, and 3) capital grants and contributions, including special assessments. Internally dedicated resources are reported as general revenues rather than as program revenues. Likewise, general revenues include all taxes.
When both restricted and unrestricted resources are available for use, it is the System's policy to use restricted resources first, then unrestricted resources as they are needed. As a general rule the effect of interfund activity has been eliminated from the system-wide financial statements.
D. Assets, liabilities, deferred outflows/inflows of resources, and net position/fund balance
Cash, Cash Equivalents and Investments The System's cash and cash equivalents are considered to be cash on hand, demand deposits and short-term investments with original maturities of three months or less from the date of acquisition. Investments of the System are reported at fair value.
Statutes authorize the System to invest in obligations of the United States and of its agencies and instrumentalities; bonds or certificates of indebtedness of the state of Georgia and of its agencies and instrumentalities; certificates of deposit of banks insured by the F.D.I.C. to the extent that such investments are legal investments; repurchase agreements;

and the Local Government Investment Pool, administered by the State of Georgia. Certificates of deposit must be collateralized to the extent they exceed $250,000.
Receivables Property taxes were levied on October 7, 2019, based on property values assessed as of January 1, 2019, and were payable on or before December 20, 2019. Property taxes became an enforceable lien on January 15, 2020. Taxes levied in calendar year 2019 for operations were levied at 17.077 mills.
Receivables due but not available are deferred inflows from resources in the fund financial statements in accordance with the modified accrual basis, but not deferred in the government-wide financial statements in accordance with the accrual basis.
Total property tax revenues reported for the fiscal year amounted to $29.1 million, including $2.3 million reported as taxes receivable of which $1.4 million is reflected as deferred inflow of resources in the general fund.
The State of Georgia, Department of Revenue receivable represents Special Local Option Sales Tax (SPLOST) revenues earned in the prior year but received within 30 days after year-end from the State Department of Revenue. Amounts due from the State of Georgia, Department of Education reflect QBE allotments related to the State's reimbursement amount for its portion of general fund salaries and benefits, which totaled $8.4 million at June 30, 2020.
Other receivables consist of amounts due to the System from other grants, tuition, or other revenue sources. The System anticipates collection of all receivables within one year.
Inventories Inventories consist of donated food commodities and purchased foods used in the preparation of meals. Inventories are stated at cost (principally first in, first-out), which is not in excess of market. The System utilizes the consumption method to recognize inventory usage. Under the consumption method, inventories are recorded as expenditures when used rather than when purchased. Reported inventories are reflected as nonspendable fund balance. The United States Department of Agriculture (USDA) commodity portion of the food services inventory consists of food donated by the USDA. It is valued at its Federally assigned value.

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS FOR THE YEAR ENDED JUNE 30, 2020
NOTE 1: Summary of Significant Accounting Policies (Continued)
Capital Assets Capital assets, which include property, plant and equipment, are reported in the systemwide financial statements. Capital assets are defined by the System as assets with an initial cost of more than $5,000 and an estimated useful life in excess of two years. Such assets are recorded at historical cost or estimated historical cost if purchased or constructed. Donated capital assets are recorded at estimated fair market value at the date of donation.
The costs of normal maintenance and repairs that do not add to the value of the asset or materially extend asset lives are not capitalized.
Land and construction in progress are not depreciated. Depreciation of all other capital assets is charged as an expense against their operations in the Statement of Activities. Property, plant and equipment is depreciated using the straight-line method over the following estimated useful lives:
Assets
Permanent buildings Portable buildings Building improvements Vehicles Office equipment Computer equipment
Years
40 - 80 10 20
5 - 10 3 - 10 3 - 10
Accrued Salaries and Benefits Accrued salaries and benefits relate primarily to salaries of employees paid over a twelvemonth period for contract services of ten months. The twelve-month pay period begins September 1 and ends August 31. Salaries payable in July and August along with the employee benefits relating to those salaries are accrued as of the end of the fiscal year.
Compensated Absences It is the System's policy to permit employees to accumulate earned but unused vacation and sick pay benefits. There is no liability for unpaid accumulated sick leave since the System does not have a policy to pay any amounts when employees separate from service with the System. Vacation pay is awarded on a fiscal year basis, with no provisions for carryover of unused days. Accordingly, as of June 30, there is no liability for accrued vacation pay.

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS FOR THE YEAR ENDED JUNE 30, 2020
NOTE 1: Summary of Significant Accounting Policies (Continued)
Deferred Outflows and Inflows of Resources Government-wide In addition to assets, the statement of net position and/or the balance sheet will report a separate section for deferred outflows of resources. This separate financial statement element, represents a consumption of resources that applies to a future period(s) and therefore will not be recognized as an outflow of resources until then. Under the full accrual method of accounting, the System has reported the contributions to the cost sharing benefit pension plan subsequent to the measurement date and prior to the fiscal year end as deferred outflows of resources. The System has also reported the actuarial changes in the System's proportionate share of the State of Georgia cost sharing benefit pension plan, as discussed in Note 11.
In addition to liabilities, the statement of net position and/or the balance sheet will report a separate section for deferred inflows of resources. This separate financial statement element represents an acquisition of resources that applies to a future period(s) and therefore will not be recognized as an inflow of resources until that time. Under the full accrual method of accounting, the System has reported the actuarial changes in the System's proportionate share of the State of Georgia cost sharing benefit pension plan, as discussed in Note 11. This item is reported only in the System-wide Statement of Net Position.
Governmental funds Additionally, the System has only one item, which arises only under a modified accrual basis of accounting that qualifies for reporting in this category. Accordingly, the item, unavailable revenue, is reported only in the governmental funds balance sheet. The governmental funds report unavailable revenues from property taxes and this amount is deferred and will be recognized as an inflow of resources in the period in which the amounts become available.
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), Employees' Retirement System (ERS), and Public School Employees Retirement System (PSERS) and additions to/deductions from the respective plans' fiduciary net position have been determined on the same basis as they are reported by each. For this purpose, benefit payments (including refunds of employee contributions) are recognized when due and payable in accordance with the benefit terms. Investments are at fair value. The General Fund has been and will continue to be used to liquidate pension liabilities.

GRIFFIN-SPALDING COUNTY SCHOOL SYSTEM GRIFFIN, GEORGIA
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS FOR THE YEAR ENDED JUNE 30, 2020
NOTE 1: Summary of Significant Accounting Policies (Continued)
Fund Balance In accordance with the requirements of GASB 54 "Fund Balance Reporting and Governmental Fund Type Definitions", the following classifications describe the relative strength of the spending constraints placed on the purposes for which resources can be used: - Nonspendable fund balance- amounts that are not in a spendable form or are required to
be maintained intact; - Restricted fund balance- amounts constrained to specific purposes by their providers
(such as grantors, bondholders, and higher levels of government, through constitutional provisions, or by enabling legislation); - Committed fund balance- amounts that can be used only for specific purposes pursuant to constraints imposed by formal action of the Board of Education. The Board of Education is the System's highest level of decision-making authority, and the formal action that is required to be taken to establish, modify, or rescind a fund balance commitment is a resolution approved by the Board; - Assigned fund balance- amounts the System intends to use for a specific purpose; but are neither restricted nor committed. The Board of Education may assign fund balance. In addition, the Board has authorized the Superintendent or Chief Financial Officer to assign amounts to be used for specific purposes; - Unassigned fund balance- consists of resources within the general fund not meeting the definition of any aforementioned category. The general fund should be the only fund that reports a positive unassigned fund balance amount. In other governmental funds, it may be necessary to report a negative unassigned fund balance.
The Board establishes (and modifies or rescinds) fund balance commitments by taking formal action in the form of a resolution. A fund balance commitment is further indicated in the budget document as a designation or commitment of the fund (such as for special incentives). Assigned fund balance is established by the Board through adoption or amendment of the budget as intended for a specific purpose (such as the purchase of capital assets, construction, debt service, or for other purposes). When multiple categories of fund balance are available for expenditure, the System will start with the most restricted category and spend those funds first before moving down to the next category with available funds.
E. Budgetary Information
General Budget Policies The System has a legally authorized appropriated budget which is formally approved by the Board at the aggregate level for each budgeted fund. Budgets are prepared to provide a basis for funding operations. There is no legal prohibition regarding over expenditure of the aggregate budget as long as there is an adequate available fund balance.
-32-
GRIFFIN-SPALDING COUNTY SCHOOL SYSTEM GRIFFIN, GEORGIA
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS FOR THE YEAR ENDED JUNE 30, 2020
NOTE 1: Summary of Significant Accounting Policies (Continued)
The budget process begins when the System's administration prepares a tentative aggregated budget for the Board's approval. After approval of this tentative budget by the Board, such budget is advertised at least once in a newspaper of general circulation in the locality.
At the next regular meeting of the Board after advertisement, the Board receives comments on the tentative budget, makes revisions as necessary and adopts a final school budget. This final budget is then submitted, in accordance with provisions of the Quality Basic Education Act, OCGA Section 20-2-167, to the Georgia Department of Education. From time to time, the budget is amended by Board approval at the fund level.
The System prepares its budgets on the modified accrual basis, which is the same basis it presents its fund financial statements. In addition, certain on-behalf payments for retirement benefits are not included in the general fund budget. The actual results on page 23 have, accordingly, been restated for comparative purposes. The System legally adopts budgets for its general fund, special revenue (excluding "other funds"), capital projects and debt service funds.
Encumbrances Encumbrances represent commitments related to unperformed contracts for goods and services. Encumbrance accounting, under which purchase orders, contracts, and other commitments for the expenditure of resources recorded in order to reserve that portion of the applicable appropriation, is utilized by the System. Encumbrances outstanding at yearend are reported as assignments of fund balance since they do not constitute actual expenditures or liabilities. They are reappropriated in the subsequent fiscal year since appropriations lapse at year-end.
NOTE 2: Deposits and Investments
The System maintains a cash and investment pool that is available for use by all governmental funds. Each fund type's portion of this pool is included in "Cash and cash equivalents". In addition, deposits are separately held by several of the System's funds.
The System has not adopted a formal investment policy. Most of the System's cash is invested in the State of Georgia Government Pool. Other investments consist of securities backed by Federal Government agencies and one-day repurchase agreements with local banks. The following pages will disclose deposit and investment risks that could affect the System's ability to provide services and meet its obligations as they become due.

The System's investment in the local government investment pool is comprised of Georgia Fund 1 and another local investment pool, which has not been categorized as to risk level because it is a pool managed by another government. Georgia Fund 1 is not registered with the SEC as an investment company and does not operate in a manner consistent with the SEC's Rule 2a-7 of the Investment Company Act of 1940. The investment is valued at the pool's share price, $1.00 per share, which approximates fair value. The pool is an AAAf rated investment pool by Standard and Poor's. The weighted average maturity of Georgia Fund 1 may not exceed 60 days. The weighted average maturity for Georgia Fund 1 on June 30, 2020, was 38 days.
Georgia Fund 1, administered by the State of Georgia, Office of the State Treasurer, is not required to be categorized since the School District did not own any specific identifiable securities in the pool. The investment policy of the State of Georgia, Office of the State Treasurer for the Georgia Fund 1, does not provide for investment in derivatives or similar investments. Additional information on the Georgia Fund 1 is disclosed in the State of Georgia Comprehensive Annual Financial Report. This audit can be obtained from the Georgia Department of Audits and Accounts at www.audits.ga.gov/SGD/CAFR.html.

The System participates in Georgia School Boards Association Risk Management Fund for property and liability insurance. Coverage for losses arising from certain liability and property risks to the System is provided through a group self-insurance plan. For accounting purposes this plan is considered to be a Risk Transfer Pool. Under this plan, the System is responsible for the first $5,000 of each property loss, $5,000 of each machinery breakdown loss, $1,000 of auto physical damage loss, and the first $10,000 of each liability claim. The plan assumes certain risks of the System in excess of state retentions up to certain customary coverage limits. The System is required to make a financial contribution to the plan each year in an amount determined on the basis of actuarial projections of losses. Settled claims have not exceeded insurance coverage in any of the past three years nor has the System significantly reduced coverage for these risks.
NOTE 9: Contingencies and Commitments
The System is a defendant in various legal proceedings pertaining to matters incidental to the performance of routine System operations. It is the opinion of management and legal counsel that the System has adequate legal defenses or insurance coverage and these actions will not materially affect the System's results of operations or financial position.
At June 30, 2020, the System's future construction commitments consist of additions to various schools in the amount of approximately $864,750. At June 30, 2020, the System had no significant encumbrances.

TRS, a cost-sharing multiple-employer defined benefit pension plan, is administered by the TRS Board of Trustees (TRS Board). Title 47 of the OCGA, assigns the authority to establish and amend benefit provisions to the State Legislature. TRS issues a publicly available financial report that can be obtained at www.trsga.com/publications.
Benefits provided: TRS provides service retirement, disability retirement, and death benefits. Normal retirement benefits are determined as 2% of the average of the employee's two highest paid consecutive years of service, multiplied by the number of years of creditable service up to 40 years. An employee is eligible for normal service retirement after 30 years of creditable service, regardless of age, or after 10 years of service and attainment of age 60. Ten years of service is required for disability and death benefits eligibility. Disability benefits are based on the employee's creditable service and compensation up to the time of disability. Death benefits equal the amount that would be payable to the employee's beneficiary had the member retired on the date of death. Death benefits are based on the employee's creditable service and compensation up to the date of death.
Contributions: Per Title 47 of the OCGA, contribution requirements of active employees and participating employers, as actuarially determined, are established and may be amended by the TRS Board. Pursuant to OCGA 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% of their annual pay during fiscal year 2020. The System's contractually required contribution rate for the year ended June 30, 2020 was 21.14% of annual school district payroll (excluding payroll attributable to those personnel funded on behalf of the School District by the State). System contributions to TRS (excluding contributions funded by the State on behalf of the System) were $12,893,763 for the year ended June 30, 2020.

NOTE 11:Retirement Plans (Continued)
Benefits Provided: The ERS Plan supports three benefit tiers: Old Plan, New Plan, and Georgia State Employees' Pension and Savings Plan (GSEPS). Employees under the old plan started membership prior to July 1, 1982 and are subject to plan provisions in effect prior to July 1, 1982. Members hired on or after July 1, 1982 but prior to January 1, 2009 are new plan members subject to modified plan provisions. Effective January 1, 2009, new state employees and rehired state employees who did not retain membership rights under the Old or New Plans are members of GSEPS. ERS members hired prior to January 1, 2009 also have the option to irrevocably change their membership to GSEPS.
Under the old plan, the new plan, and GSEPS, a member may retire and receive normal retirement benefits after completion of 10 years of creditable service and attainment of age 60 or 30 years of creditable service regardless of age. Additionally, there are some provisions allowing for early retirement after 25 years of creditable service for members under age 60.
Retirement benefits paid to members are based upon the monthly average of the member's highest 24 consecutive calendar months, multiplied by the number of years of creditable service, multiplied by the applicable benefit factor. Annually, postretirement cost-of-living adjustments may also be made to members' benefits, provided the members were hired prior to July 1, 2009. The normal retirement pension is payable monthly for life; however, options are available for distribution of the member's monthly pension, at reduced rates, to a designated beneficiary upon the member's death. Death and disability benefits are also available through ERS.
Contributions: Member contributions under the old plan are 4% of annual compensation, up to $4,200.00, plus 6% of annual compensation in excess of $4,200.00. Under the old plan, the state pays member contributions in excess of 1.25% of annual compensation. Under the old plan, these state contributions are included in the members' accounts for refund purposes and are used in the computation of the members' earnable compensation for the purpose of computing retirement benefits. Member contributions under the new plan and GSEPS are 1.25% of annual compensation. The System's contractually required contribution rate, actuarially determined annually, for the year ended June 30, 2020 was 24.78% of annual covered payroll for old and new plan members and 21.78% for GSEPS members. The rates include the annual actuarially determined employer contribution rate of 24.66% of annual covered payroll of new and old plan members and 21.66% for GSEPES members, plus a 0.12% adjustment for the HB 751 one-time benefit adjustment of 3% to retired state employees. 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. There were no employer contributions to for the current fiscal year.

Plan description: PSERS is a cost-sharing multiple-employer defined benefit pension plan established by the Georgia General Assembly in 1969 for the purpose of providing retirement allowances for public school employees who are not eligible for membership in the Teachers Retirement System of Georgia. The ERS Board of Trustees, plus two additional trustees, administers PSERS. Title 47 of the OCGA assigns the authority to establish and amend the benefit provisions to the State Legislature. PSERS issues a publicly available financial report that can be obtained at www.ers.ga.gov/financials.
Benefits provided: A member may retire and elect to receive normal monthly retirement benefits after completion of ten years of creditable service and attainment of age 65. A member may choose to receive reduced benefits after age 60 and upon completion of ten years of service.
Upon retirement, the member will receive a monthly benefit of $15.25, multiplied by the number of years of creditable service. Death and disability benefits are also available through PSERS. Additionally, PSERS may make periodic cost-of-living adjustments to the monthly benefits. Upon termination of employment, member contributions with accumulated interest are refundable upon request by the member. However, if an otherwise vested member terminates and withdraws his/her member contribution, the member forfeits all rights to retirement benefits.
Contributions: The general assembly makes an annual appropriation to cover the employer contribution to PSERS on behalf of local school employees (bus drivers, cafeteria workers, and maintenance staff). The annual employer contribution required by statute is actuarially determined and paid directly to PSERS by the State Treasurer in accordance with OCGA 47-4-29(a) and 60(b). Contributions are expected to finance the costs of benefits earned by employees during the year, with an additional amount to finance any unfunded accrued liability.
Individuals who became members prior to July 1, 2012 contribute $4 per month for nine months each fiscal year. Individuals who became members on or after July 1, 2012 contribute $10 per month for nine months each fiscal year. The State of Georgia, although not the employer of PSERS members, is required by statute to make employer contributions actuarially determined and approved and certified by the PSERS Board of Trustees. The contribution by the State for the year ended June 30, 2020 amounted to $254,109.

The net pension liability for TRS and ERS was measured as of June 30, 2019. The total pension liability used to calculate the net pension liability was based on an actuarial valuation as of June 30, 2018. An expected total pension liability as of June 30, 2019 was determined using standard roll-forward techniques. The System's proportion of the net pension liability was based on contributions during the fiscal year ended June 30, 2019. At June 30 2019, the System's proportion was .480289% for TRS and .005128% for ERS, which was an increase (decrease) of (.007949)% for TRS and (.000060)% for ERS from its proportion measured as of June 30, 2018.
At June 30, 2020, the System did not have a PSERS liability for a proportionate share of the net pension liability because of a Special Funding Situation with the State of Georgia, which is responsible for the net pension liability of the plan. The amount of the State's proportionate share of the net pension liability associated with the System is $1,297,983.

For PSERS, mortality rates were based on the RP-2000 Blue Collar Mortality Table set forward three years for males and two years for females for the period after service retirement, for dependent beneficiaries, and for deaths in active service, and the RP-2000 Disabled Mortality Table set forward five years for both males and females for the period after disability retirement.
The actuarial assumptions used in the June 30, 2018 valuation were based on the results of an actuarial experience study for the period July 1, 2009 June 30, 2014, with the exception of the assumed investment rate of return.
The long-term expected rate of return on TRS, ERS and PSERS 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 asset 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 7.25% for TRS and 7.30% for ERS and PSERS both the current and prior measurement dates. 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 TRS, ERS, and PSERS 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 System's proportionate share of the net pension liability to changes in the discount rate: The following presents the System's proportionate share of the net pension liability calculated using the discount rate of 7.25% for TRS and 7.30% for ERS, as well as what the System's proportionate share of the net pension liability would be if it were calculated using a discount rate that is 1-percentage-point lower (6.25% for TRS and 6.30% for ERS) or 1-percentage-point higher (8.25% for TRS and 8.30% for ERS) than the current rate:

Supplemental Retirement Plan- Public School Employees' Retirement System Only
Plan Description: All employees participating in the Public School Employees' Retirement System are also eligible to participate in the System's Supplemental Retirement Plan. The Board of Education recognized that PSERS was a limited defined benefit plan which did not provide for an adequate retirement for this group of employees and thus established this Plan in 2016 to supplement the retirement for this group of employees.

NOTE 11:Retirement Plans (Continued)
This Plan, as a defined contribution plan, puts 3% of salary for all PSERS employees into a 403(b) type plan. The plan requires 36 months of service or meeting normal retirement age to vest 100% in the employer portion. Failure to complete the 36 month vesting requirement will result in forfeiture of the employer contributions. The employee contributions will be refunded 100%, if the vesting requirement is not met.
Funds accumulated in the employer paid accounts are only available to the employee upon termination of employment and 3 years of service to the System. If an employee terminates employment prior to achieving 3 years of service, funds paid on behalf of the non-vested employee are credited back to the System.
Valic Retirement Services is the supplemental plan provider and National Benefit Services, LLC, has been set up as the third party administrator. The plan offers an investment menu from which the employees may select their investment mix.
Funding Policy: the System contributes 3% of the employee's monthly compensation for all eligible employees. Contributions are sent monthly to the third party administrator to be invested based upon the employee's investment choices.
The System's contributions to the Supplemental Retirement Plan for the fiscal year ending June 30, 2020 were $149,398.

Actuarial assumptions: The total OPEB liability as of June 30, 2019 was determined by an actuarial valuation as of June 30, 2018, with update procedures used to roll forward the total OPEB liability to June 30, 2019. The roll forward calculation adds the annual normal cost (also called service cost), subtracts the actual benefit payments for the same year, and then applies the expected rate of return for the period. This actuarial valuation used the following actuarial assumptions:
OPEB:
Inflation
Salary increases
Long-term expected rate of return
Healthcare cost trend rate Pre-Medicare Eligible Medicare Eligible
Ultimate trend rate Pre-Medicare Eligible Medicare Eligible
Year of Ultimate trend rate Pre-Medicare Eligible Medicare Eligible

For TRS members: The RP-2000 White Collar Mortality Table projected to 2025 with projection scale BB (set forward one year for males) is used for death after service retirement and beneficiaries. The RP-2000 Disabled Mortality Table projected to 2025 with projection scale BB (set forward two years for males and four years for females) is used for death after disability retirement.

For PSERS members: The RP-2000 Blue-Collar Mortality Table projected to 2025 with projection scale BB (set forward three years for males and two years for females) is used for the period after service retirement and for beneficiaries of deceased members. The RP-2000 Disabled Mortality Table projected to 2025 with projection scale BB (set forward five years for both males and females) is used for the period after disability retirement.
The actuarial assumptions used in the June 30, 2018 valuation were based on the results of an actuarial experience study for the pension systems, which covered the five-year period ending June 30, 2014, and adopted by the pension Board on December 17, 2015. The next experience study for TRS will be for the period ending June 30, 2018.
The remaining actuarial assumptions (e.g., initial per capital costs, health care cost trends, rate of plan participation, rates of plan election, etc.) used in the June 30, 2018 valuation were based on a review of recent plan experience done concurrently with the June 30, 2018 valuation.
Projection of benefits for financial reporting purposes are based on the substantive plan (the plan as understood by the employer and plan members) and include the types of benefits provided at the time of each valuation and the historical pattern of sharing of benefit costs between the employer and plan members to that point. The actuarial methods and assumptions used include techniques that are designed to reduce the effects of short-term volatility in actuarial accrued liabilities and the actuarial value of assets, consistent with the long-term perspective of the calculation.
The long-term expected rate of return on OPEB plan investments was determined using a log-normal distribution analysis in which best-estimate ranges of expected future real rates of return (expected nominal returns, net of investment expense and the assumed rate of inflation) are developed for each major asset class. These ranges are combined to produce the long-term expected rate of return by weighting the expected future real rates of return by the target asset allocation percentage and by adding expected inflation.

Discount rate: In order to measure the total OPEB liability for the School OPEB Fund, a single equivalent interest rate of 3.58% was used as the discount rate, as compared with last year's rate of 3.87%. This is comprised mainly of the yield or index rate for 20 year taxexempt general obligation municipal bonds with an average rating of AA or higher (3.50% per the Municipal Bond Index Rate). The projection of cash flows used to determine the discount rate assumed that contributions from members and from the employer will be made at the current level as averaged over the last five years, adjusted for annual projected changes in headcount. Projected future benefit payments for all current plan members were projected through 2119. Based on these assumptions, the OPEB plan's fiduciary net position was projected to be available to make OPEB payments for inactive employees through year 2026. Therefore, the calculated discount rate of 3.58% was applied to all periods of projected benefit payments to determine the total OPEB liability.

Retirement Systems Changes of assumptions: For TRS, in 2010 and later, the expectation of retired life mortality was changed to the RP-2000 Mortality Tables rather than the 1994 Group Annuity Mortality Table, which was used prior to 2010. In 2010, rates of withdrawal, retirement, disability and mortality were adjusted to more closely reflect actual experience. In 2010, assumed rates of salary increase were adjusted to more closely reflect actual and anticipated experience. For ERS and PSERS, On March 15, 2018, the Board adopted a new funding policy. Because of this new funding policy, the assumed investment rate of return was reduced from 7.50% to 7.40% for June 30, 2017 actuarial valuation. In addition, based on the Board's new funding policy, the assumed investment rate of return was further reduced by 0.10% from 7.40% to 7.30% as of the June 30, 2018 Measurement Date.

Expenditure tests focus on spending 100% of allotted direct instructional funds on a system-wide basis rather than by school or program. However, certain programs such as twenty days additional instruction, media, and professional development are under a 100% expenditure requirement. Griffin-Spalding County School System met the spending requirements for fiscal year June 30, 2020.

Notes: In addition to the System's debt obligations, property owners in the System are responsible for certain debt obligations of other taxing entities in the proportion to which the jurisdiction of the System overlaps such entities. Set forth below is the estimated overlapping general obligation debt and estimated overlapping property tax supported or guaranteed revenue debt of the System as of June 30, 2020. The percentage of overlapping debt applicable is estimated using taxable assessed property values. Applicable percentages were estimated by determining the portion of the municipality/authority's taxable assessed value that is within the School System's boundaries and dividing it by the municipality/authority's total taxable assessed value. Although the System has attempted to obtain accurate information as to the outstanding overlapping debt, it does not warrant its completeness or accuracy, as there is no central reporting entity which has this information available, and the amounts are based on information supplied by others.

SINGLE AUDIT, COMPLIANCE AND INTERNAL CONTROL SECTION
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
The Board of Education Griffin-Spalding County School System Griffin, 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 Griffin-Spalding County School System as of and for the year ended June 30, 2020, and the related notes to the financial statements, which collectively comprise Griffin-Spalding County School System's basic financial statements, and have issued our report thereon dated November 17, 2020.
Internal Control over Financial Reporting
In planning and performing our audit of the financial statements, we considered Griffin-Spalding County 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 Griffin-Spalding County School System's internal control. Accordingly, we do not express an opinion on the effectiveness of Griffin-Spalding County 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 government'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 over financial reporting 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 financial reporting that might be material weaknesses or significant deficiencies. Given these limitations, during our audit we did not identify any deficiencies in internal control over financial reporting 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 Griffin-Spalding County School System'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. We noted certain matters that we reported to management of the System in a separate letter dated November 17, 2020. 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 results of that testing, and not to provide an opinion on the effectiveness of the government'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 in Accordance with the Uniform Guidance
The Board of Education Griffin-Spalding County School System Griffin, Georgia
Report on Compliance for Each Major Federal Program
We have audited Griffin-Spalding County School System's compliance with the types of compliance requirements described in the U.S. Office of Management and Budget Compliance Supplement that could have a direct and material effect on each of Griffin-Spalding County School System's major federal programs for the year ended June 30, 2020. Griffin-Spalding County 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 the requirements of laws, regulations, contracts, and grants applicable to its federal programs.
Auditor's Responsibility
Our responsibility is to express an opinion on compliance for each of Griffin-Spalding County 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 ("CFR") 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 compliance 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 Griffin-Spalding County 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 on Griffin-Spalding County School System's compliance.

Opinion on Each Major Federal Program
In our opinion, Griffin-Spalding County School System complied, in all material respects, with the compliance requirements referred to above that could have a direct and material effect on each of its major federal programs for the year ended June 30, 2020.
Report on Internal Control over Compliance
Management of Griffin-Spalding County 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 Griffin-Spalding County 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 as a basis for designing 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 Griffin-Spalding County 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.
