These financial statements are the responsibility of the Meriwether County Board of Education's management. Our responsibility is to express opinions on these financial statements based on our audit. \nWe 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 GovernmentAuditing 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 of material misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements, assessing the accounting principles used and the significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believe that our audit provides a reasonable basis for our opinions. \nIn our opinion, the financial statements referred to previously 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 Meriwether County Board of Education, as of June 30, 2010, and the respective changes in financial position thereof for the year then ended in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. \nIn accordance with Government Auditing Standards, we have also issued our report dated May 13, 2011, on our consideration of the Meriwether County Board of Education's internal control over financial reporting and on our tests of its compliance with certain provisions of laws, regulations, contracts, and grant agreements and other matters. The purpose of that report is to describe the scope of our testing of internal control over financial reporting and compliance and the results of \n \n that testing, and not to provide an opinion on the internal control over financial reporting or on compliance. That report is an integral part of an audit performed in accordance with Government Auditing Standardsand should be considered in assessingthe results of our audit. \nAccounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America require that the Management's Discussion and Analysis and the Schedule of Revenues, Expenditures and Changes in \nFund Balances- Budget and Actual, as presented on pages i through vii and page 25 respectively, be \npresented to supplement the basic financial statements.

Hinton, CPA, CGFM State Auditor \n \n MERIWETHER COUNTY BOARD OF EDUCATION MANAGEMENTS DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS FOR THE FISCAL YEAR ENDED JUNE 30,2010 \nIntroduction \nThe discussion and analysis of Meriwether County Board of Education's financial performance provides an overall review of the School District's financial activities for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2010. The intent of this discussion and analysis is to look at the School District's financial performance as a whole; readers should also review the notes to the basic financial statements and the financial statements to enhance their understanding of the School District's financial performance. \nFinancial Highlights \nKey financial highlights for fiscal year 2010 are as follows: \n0 In total, net assets increased $1.0 million, which represents a 4.8 percent increase from \nfiscal year 2009. This total increase was due to governmental activities since the Board has no business-type activities. \n0 On the District-wide financial statements, the assets of the School District exceeded \nliabilities by $22.5 million. \nThe School District has $35.8 million in expenses related to governmental activities; only $23.6 million of these expenses were offset by program specific charges for services, grants and contributions. General revenues (primarily taxes) of $13.1 million were used to provide for these programs. \nAs stated above, general revenues accounted for $13.1 million or 35.7 percent of all \nrevenues totaling $36.8 million. Program specific revenues in the form of charges for services, grants and contributions accounted for the rest. \nOVERVIEW OF THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS \nThis annual report consists of three parts: management's discussion and analysis (this section), the basic financial statements and required supplementary information. The basic financial statements include two levels of statements that present different views of the School District. These include the District-wide and fund financial statements. \nThe District-wide financial statements include the \"Statement of Net Assets\" and \"Statement of Activities\". These statements provide information about activities of the School District presenting both short-term and long-term information about the School District's overall financial status. \nThe fund financial statements focus on individual parts of the School District, reporting the School District's operation in more detail. The \"Governmental Funds\" statements disclose how basic services are financed in the short-term as well as what remains for future spending. \"Fiduciary Funds\" statement provides information about the financial relationships in which the School District acts solely as a trustee or agent for the benefit of others. The fund financial statements reflect the School District's most significant funds. In the case of the Meriwether County School District, the General Fund, District-wide Capital Projects Fund and Debt Service Fund are the most significant funds. \n \n MERIWETHER COUNTY BOARD OF EDUCATION MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS FOR THE FISCALYEAR ENDED JUNE 30,2010 \nThe financial statements also include notes that explain some of the information in the statements and provide more detailed data. The statements are followed by a section of required supplementary information that further explains and supports the financial statements. Additionally, other supplementary information (not required) is also presented that further supplements understanding of the financial statements. \nDistrict-wide Statements \nSince Meriwether County School District has no operations that have been classified as \"Business Activities\", the District-wide financial statements are basically a consolidation of all of the School District's operating funds into one column called governmental activities. In reviewing the Districtwide financial statements, a reader might ask the question, are we in a better financial position than last year? The \"Statement of Net Assets\" and the \"Statement of Activities\" provides the basis for answeringthis question. These financial statements include all School District's assets and liabilities and uses the accrual basis of accounting similar to the accounting used by most private-sector companies. This basis of accounting takes into account all of the current year's revenues and expenses, regardless of when cash is received or paid. \nThese two statements report the School District's net assets and any changes in those assets. The change in net assets is important because it tells the reader that, for the School District as a whole, the financial position of the School District has improved or diminished. The causes of this change may be the results of many factors, including those not under the School District's control, such as the reduction in state funding, property tax base, facility conditions, required educational programs and other factors. \nThe \"Statement of Net Assets\" and the \"Statement of Activities\" reflects the School District's governmental activities. \nFund Financial Statements \nThe School District uses many funds to account for a multitude of financial transactions during the fiscal year. However, the fund financial statements presented in this report provide detail information about only the School District's significant or major funds. \nGovernmental Funds: The School District's activities are reported in governmental funds, which focus on how money flows into and out of those funds and the balances left at year-end available for spending in future periods. These funds are reported using the modified accrual method of accounting, which measures cash and all other financial assets that can readily be converted to cash. \nThe governmental fund statements provide a detailed short-term view of the School District's general government operations and the basic services it provides. Governmental fund information helps you determine whether there are more or fewer financial resources that can be spent in the near future to finance educational programs. The relationship (or differences) between governmental activities (reported in the Statement of Net Assets and the Statement of Activities) and governmental funds is reconciled in the financial statements. \nFiduciary Funds: The School District is the trustee, or fiduciary, for assets that belong to clubs, organizations and others within the principals' accounts. The School District is responsible for ensuring that the assets reported in these funds are used only for their intended purposes and by those to whom the assets belong. The School District excludes these activities from the District-wide financial statements because it cannot use these assets to finance its operations. \n \n MERIWETHER COUNTY BOARD OF EDUCATION MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS FOR THE FISCAL YEAR ENDED JUNE 30,2010 \n \nFINANCIAL ANALYSIS OF THE SCHOOL DISTRICT AS A WHOLE \nRecall that the Statement of Net Assets provides the perspective of the School District as a whole. Table 1provides a summary of the School District's net assets for fiscal year 2010 compared to fiscal year 2009. \n \nTable 1 Net Assets (In Thousands) \n \nGovernmental Activities \n \nFiscal \n \nFiscal \n \nYear 2010 \n \nYear 2009 \n \nAssets Current and Other Assets Capital Assets, Net \n \nTota I Assets \n \nLiabilities Current and Other Liabilities Long-Term Liabilities \n \nTotal Liabilities \n \nNet Assets Invested in Capital Assets, Net of Related Debt Restricted Unrestricted \n \nTotal Net Assets \n \nTotal net assets increased $1.0 million in fiscal year 2010. \nTable 2 shows the changes in net assets for fiscal year 2010 compared to the changes in net assets for fiscal year 2009. \n \n MERIWETHER COUNTY BOARD OF EDUCATION MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS FOR THE FISCAL YEAR ENDED JUNE 30,2010 \n \nTable 2 Change in Net Assets \n(In Thousands) \n \nGovernmental Activities \n \nFiscal Year \n \nFiscal Year \n \nRevenues Program Revenues: Charges for Services and Sales Operating Grants and Contributions Capital Grants and Contributions \nTotal Program Revenues \nGeneral Revenues: Taxes Property Taxes For Maintenanceand Operations For Debt Services Railroad Cars Sales Taxes Special Purpose Local Option Sales Tax For Debt Services Intangible RecordingTax Grants and Contributionsnot Restrictedto Specific Programs Investment Earnings Miscellaneous \nTotal General Revenues \nTotal Revenues \nProgram Expenses: Instruction Support Services Pupil Services Improvement of InstructionalServices Educational Media Services General Administration School Administration Business Administration Maintenance and Operation of Plant Student Transportation Services Central Support Services Other Support Services Operations of Non-Instructional Services Enterprise Operations Food Services Interest on Short-Term and Long-Term Debt \nTotal Expenses \nIncrease (Decrease) in Net Assets \n \n MERIWETHER COUNTY BOARD OF EDUCATION MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS FOR THE FISCAL YEAR ENDED JUNE 30,2010 \n \nGovernmental Activities \nlnstruction comprises 60.4 percent of governmental program expenses. lnterest expense was 2.5 percent of governmental program expenses. lnterest expense was attributable to capital leases and the outstanding bonds for capital projects. \nThe Statement of Activities shows the cost of program services and the charges for services and grants offsetting those services. Table 3 shows, for governmental activities, the total cost of services and the net cost of services comparing fiscal year 2010 with fiscal year 2009. Net cost of services can be defined as the total cost less fees generated by the activities and intergovernmental revenue provided for specific programs. \n \nTable 3 Governmental Activities \n(In Thousands) \n \nTotaI Cost of Services \n \nFiscal \n \nFiscal \n \nYear 2010 \n \nYear 2009 \n \nNet Cost of Services \n \nFiscal \n \nFiscal \n \nYear 2010 \n \nYear 2009 \n \nlnstruction Support Services: \nPupil Services Improvement of Instructional Services Educational Media Services General Administration School Administration Business Administration Maintenance and Operation of Plant Student Transportation Services Central Support Services Other Support Services Operations of Non-Instructional Services: Enterprise Operations Food Services Interest on Short-Term and LongTerm Debt \n \nTotal Expenses \n \nAlthough program revenues make up a majority of the revenues, the School District is still dependent upon tax revenues for governmental activities. Over 28.4 percent of instruction activities are supported through taxes and other general revenues; for all governmental activities general revenue support is 33.8 percent. \nFINANCIAL ANALYSIS OF THE SCHOOL DISTRICT'S FUNDS \nThe School District's governmental funds are accounted for using the modified accrual basis of accounting. Total governmental funds had revenues and other financing sources of $37.1 million and expenditures and other financing uses of $36.2 million. \n \n MERIWETHER COUNTY BOARD OF EDUCATION MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS FOR THE FISCALYEAR ENDED JUNE 30,2010 \n \nGeneral Fund Budgeting Highlights \nThe School District's budget is prepared according to Georgia law. The most significant budgeted fund is the General Fund. During the course of fiscal year 2010, the School District amended its general fund budget as needed. \nFor the General Fund, the actual revenues and other financing sources of $34.5 million was less than the original budgeted amount of $35.7 million by $1.2 million. This difference (actual vs. original budget) was primarily due to less actual state revenue received along with increased actual Federal revenue and charges for services. \nThe actual revenues and other financing sources of $34.5 million were less than the final budgeted amounts by $1.7 million. Conservative budgeting for property taxes, sales taxes and state funds more than offset any shortfall in other revenue categories. \nThe final budgeted expenditures and other financing uses of $36.2 million was more than the original budgeted amount of $35.7 million by $0.5 million. The difference was primarily due to an increase in expenditures to coincide with increased revenues from Federal sources and the inclusion of our school principal accounts in our financial statements, which were not included in our budget. \nCAPITAL ASSETS AND DEBT ADMINISTRATION \nCapital Assets \nAt the end of fiscal year 2010 the School District had $40.9 million invested in capital assets, all in governmental activities. Table 4 shows fiscal year 2010 balances compared with fiscal year 2009 balances, net of depreciation. \nTable 4 Capital Assets (Net of Depreciation, in Thousands) \n \nGovernmental Activities \n \nFiscal \n \nFiscal \n \nYear 2010 \n \nYear 2009 \n \nLand \n \n$ \n \nLand Improvements \n \nBuildings and Building Improvements \n \nEquipment \n \n532 $ 2,624 35,950 \n \n532 2,835 37,180 \n \nTotal \n \n MERIWETHER COUNTY BOARD OF EDUCATION MANAGEMENTS DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS FOR THE FISCALYEAR ENDED JUNE 30,2010 \n \nDebt \nAt June 30, 2010, the School District had $13.6 million in bonds outstanding with $1.3 million due within one year and $7.5 million in intergovernmental contracts outstanding with $284 thousand due within one year.

It is fifty miles from Atlanta and fifty miles from Columbus. It is poised for growth over the next decade. The School District has made extraordinary efforts to upgrade facilities with the replacement of five aging elementary schools with three state of the art elementary schools. The School District has also replaced one of its two high schools and extensively upgraded the other high school. The School District also just completed the replacement of a middle school in fiscal year 2010. While these capital projects have put a strain on the fiscal integrity of the School District, recent untimely \"austerity\" reductions in state funding have been devastating to the system's reserves. To address this deficit situation, the School District has begun a process of revenue enhancements and staff reduction through attrition to restore the financial integrity to the School District. \nContactingthe Board's Financial Management \nThis financial report is designed to provide our citizens, taxpayers, investors and creditors with a general overview of the School District's finances and to show the School District's accountability for the money it receives.

The Board is organized as a separate legal entity and has the power to levy taxes and issue bonds. Its budget is not subject to approval by any other entity. Accordingly, the School District is a primary government and consists of all the organizations that compose its legal entity. \nNOTE 2: SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES \nBASIS OF PRESENTATION \nThe School District's basic financial statements are collectively comprised of the District-wide financial statements, fund financial statements and notes to the basic financial statements of the Meriwether County Board of Education. \nDistrict-wide Statements: The Statement of Net Assets and the Statement of Activities display information about the financial activities of the overall School District, except for fiduciary activities. Eliminations have been made t o minimize the double counting of internal activities. Governmental activities generally are financed through taxes, intergovernmental revenues, and other nonexchangetransactions. \nThe Statement of Activities presents a comparison between direct expenses and program revenues for each function of the School District's governmental activities. \nDirect expenses are those that are specifically associated with a program or function and, therefore, are clearly identifiable to a particular function. Indirect expenses (expenses of the School District related to the administration and support of the School District's programs, such as office and maintenance personnel and accounting) are not allocated to programs. \nProgram revenues include (a) charges paid by the recipients of goods or services offered by the programs and (b) grants and contributions that are restricted to meetingthe operational or capital requirements of a particular program. Revenues that are not classified as program revenues, including all taxes, are presented as general revenues. \nFund Financial Statements The fund financial statements provide information about the School District's funds, including fiduciary funds. Eliminations have been made to minimize the double counting of internal activities. Separate statements for each category (governmental and fiduciary) are presented. The emphasis of fund financial statements is on major governmental funds, each displayed in a separate column. \nThe School District reports the following major governmental funds: \nGeneral Fund is the School District's primary operating fund. It accounts for all financial resources of the School District, except those resources required to be accounted for in another fund. \nDistrict-wide Capital Projects Fund accounts for financial resources including Bond Proceeds to be used for the acquisition, construction or renovation of major capital facilities. \n \n MERIWETHER COUNTY BOARD OF EDUCATION NOTES TO THE BASIC FINANCIAL STATEMENTS \nJUNE 30,2010 \n \nEXHIBIT \"H\" \n \nDebt Service Fund accounts for taxes (property and sales) legally restricted for the payment of general long-term principal, interest and paying agent's fees. \nThe School District reports the following fiduciary fund type: \nAgency funds account for assets held by the School District as an agent for various funds, governments or individuals. \nBASIS OF ACCOUNTING \nThe basis of accounting determines when transactions are reported on the financial statements. The District-wide governmental and fiduciary fund financial statements are reported using the economic resources measurement focus and the accrual basis of accounting. Revenues are recorded when earned and expenses are recorded at the time liabilities are incurred, regardless of when the related cash flows take place. Nonexchange transactions, in which the School District gives (or receives) value without directly receiving (or giving) equal value in exchange, include property taxes, sales taxes, and grants. On an accrual basis, revenue from property taxes is recognized in the fiscal year for which the taxes are levied. Revenue from sales taxes is recognized in the fiscal year in which the underlying transaction (sale) takes place. Revenue from grants and donations are recognized in the fiscal year in which all eligibility requirements have been satisfied. \nThe School District uses funds to report on its financial position and the results of its operations. Fund accounting is designed to demonstrate legal compliance and to aid financial management by segregating transactions related to certain governmental functions or activities. A fund is a separate accounting entity with a self-balancing set of accounts. \nGovernmental funds are reported using the current financial resources measurement focus and the modified accrual basis of accounting. Under this method, revenues are recognized when measurable and available. The School District considers all revenues reported in the governmental funds to be available if they are collected within sixty days after year-end. Property taxes, sales taxes and interest are considered to be susceptible to accrual. Expenditures are recorded when the related fund liability is incurred, except for principal and interest on general long-term debt, claims and judgments, and compensated absences, which are recognized as expenditures to the extent they have matured. Capital asset acquisitions are reported as expenditures in governmental funds. Proceeds of general long-term liabilities and acquisitions under capital leases are reported as other financing sources. \nThe School District funds certain programs by a combination of specific cost-reimbursement grants, categorical grants, and general revenues. Thus, when program costs are incurred, there are both restricted and unrestricted net assets available to finance the program. It is the School District's policy to first apply grant resources to such programs, followed by cost-reimbursement grants, then general revenues. \nThe State of Georgia reimburses the School District 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 1through August 31. In accordance with the respective rules and regulations of the QBE program, the State of Georgia reimburses the School District 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 District recognizesthe same QBE as a receivable and revenue, consistent with symmetrical recognition. \n \n MERIWETHER COUNN BOARD OF EDUCATION NOTES TO THE BASIC FINANCIAL STATEMENTS \nJUNE 30,2010 \n \nEXHIBIT \"H\" \n \nNEW ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS \nIn fiscal year 2010, the School District adopted the Governmental Accounting and Standards Board (GASB) Statement No. 51, Accounting and Reporing for Intangible Assets. The provisions of this Statement generally require retroactive reportingfor intangible assets acquired after June 30, 1980, with the exception of those intangible assets that have indefinite useful lives and those that are considered internally generated. \nIn addition, the School District adopted GASB Statement No. 53, Accounting and Financial Reporting for Derivative Instruments. The provisions of this Statement impacts disclosure regarding derivative instruments entered into by the state and local governments. Derivative disclosures, if any, will be identified in Note 3. \nCASH AND CASH EQUIVALENTS \nComposition of Deposits Cash and cash equivalents consist of cash on hand, demand deposits and short-term investments with original maturities of three months or less from the date of acquisition in authorized financial institutions. Official Code of Georgia Annotated 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. \nINVESTMENTS \nComposition of lnvestments lnvestments made by the School District in nonparticipating interest-earning contracts (such as certificates of deposit) and repurchase agreements are reported at cost. Participating interestearning contracts and money market investments with a maturity at purchase of one year or less are reported at amortized cost. Both participating interest-earning contracts and money market investments with a maturity at purchase greater than one year are reported at fair value. The Official Code of Georgia Annotated Section 36-83-4 authorizes the School District to invest its funds. In selecting among options for investment or among institutional bids for deposits, the highest rate of return shall be the objective, given equivalent conditions of safety and liquidity. Funds may be invested in the following: \n1. Obligations issued by the State of Georgia or by other states, \n2. Obligations issued by the United States government, \n3. Obligations fully insured or guaranteed by the United States government or a United States government agency, \n4. Obligations of any corporation of the United States government, \n5 . Prime banker's acceptances, \n6. The Georgia Fund 1administered by the State of Georgia, Office of Treasury and Fiscal Services, \n7. Repurchase agreements, and \n8. Obligationsof other political subdivisions of the State of Georgia. \nThe School District does not have a formal policy regarding investment policies that address credit risks, custodial credit risks, concentration of credit risks, interest rate risks or foreign currency risks. \n \n MERIWETHER COUNTY BOARD OF EDUCATION NOTES TO THE BASIC FINANCIAL STATEMENTS \nJUNE 30.2010 \n \nEXHIBIT \"H\" \n \nRECEIVABLES \nReceivables consist of amounts due from property and sales taxes, grant reimbursements due on Federal, State or other grants for expenditures made but not reimbursed and other receivables disclosed from information available. Receivables are recorded when either the asset or revenue recognition criteria has been met. Receivables recorded on the basic financial statements do not include any amounts which would necessitate the need for an allowance for uncollectible receivables. \nPROPERTY TAXES \nThe Meriwether County Board of Commissioners fixed the property tax levy for the 2009 tax digest year (calendar year) on November 24, 2009 (levy date). Taxes were due on February 2, 2010 (lien date). Taxes collected within the current fiscal year or within 6 0 days after year-end on the 2009 tax digest are reported as revenue in the governmental funds for fiscal year 2010. The Meriwether County Tax Commissioner bills and collects the property taxes for the School District, withholds 2.5% of taxes collected as a fee for tax collection and remits the balance of taxes collected to the School District. Property tax revenues, at the fund reporting level, during the fiscal year ended June 30, 2010, for maintenance and operations amounted to $8,245,414.96 and for school bonds amounted to $540,181.18. \nTax millage rates levied for the 2009 tax year (calendar year) for the Meriwether County Board of Education were as follows (a mill equals $ 1 per thousand dollars of assessed value): \n \nSchool Operations School Bonds \n \n16.90 mills 1.10 mills \n \n18.00 mills \nSALES TAXES \nSpecial Purpose Local Option Sales Tax, at the fund reporting level, during the year amounted to $1,711,119.33 and is to be used for capital outlay for educational purposes or debt service. This sales tax was authorized by local referendum and the sales tax must be re-authorized at least every five years. \nINVENTORIES \nFood Inventories On the basic financial statements, inventories of donated food commodities used in the preparation of meals are reported at their Federally assigned value and purchased foods inventories are reported at cost (first-in, first-out). The School District uses the consumption method to account for inventories whereby donated food commodities are recorded as an asset and as revenue when received, and expenses/expenditures are recorded as the inventory items are used. Purchased foods are recorded as an asset when purchased and expenses/expenditures are recorded as the inventory items are used. \nPREPAID ITEMS \nPayments made to vendors for services that will benefit periods subsequent t o June 30, 2010, are recorded as prepaid items. \n \n MERIWETHER COUNTY BOARD OF EDUCATION NOTES TO THE BASIC FINANCIAL STATEMENTS \nJUNE 30,2010 \n \nEXHIBIT \"H\" \n \nCAPITAL ASSETS \n \nCapital assets purchased, including capital outlay costs, are recorded as expenditures in the fund financial statements at the time of purchase (including ancillary charges). On the District-wide financial statements, all purchased capital assets are valued at cost where historical records are available and at estimated historical cost based on appraisals or deflated current replacement cost where no historical records exist. Donated capital assets are recorded at estimated fair market value on the date donated. Disposals are deleted at depreciated recorded cost. The cost of normal maintenance and repairs that do not add to the value of assets or materially extend the useful lives of the assets is not capitalized. Depreciation is computed using the straight-line method. The School District does not capitalize book collections or works of art. During the fiscal year under review, no events or changes in circumstances affecting a capital asset that may indicate impairment were known to the School District. \n \nCapitalization thresholds and estimated useful lives of capital assets reported in the District-wide \n \nstatements are as follows: \n \nCapitalization \n \nEstimated \n \nPolicy \n \nUseful Life \n \nLand Land Improvements Buildings and Improvements Equipment Intangible Assets \n \n$ \n \n5,000.00 \n \n$ \n \n5,000.00 \n \nN/A 20 years \n \n$ \n \n5,000.00 \n \n7 to 4 0 years \n \n$ \n \n5,000.00 \n \n5 to 1 5 years \n \n$ 500,000.00 individually determined \n \nDepreciation is used to allocate the actual or estimated historical cost of all capital assets over estimated useful lives, with the exception of intangible assets which are amortized. \n \nAmortization of intangible assets such as water, timber, and mineral rights, easements, patents, trademarks, copyrights and internally generated software is computed using the straight-line method over the estimated useful lives of the assets. \n \nCOMPENSATED ABSENCES \n \nMembers of the Teachers Retirement System of Georgia (TRS) may apply unused sick leave toward early retirement. The liability for early retirement will be borne by TRS rather than by the individual school districts. Otherwise, sick leave does not vest with the employee, and no liability is reported in the School District's financial statements. \n \nVacation leave of 1 2 days is awarded on a fiscal year basis to all full time personnel employed on a twelve month basis. No other employees are eligible to earn vacation leave. Vacation leave not utilized during the fiscal year may be carried over to the next fiscal year, providing such vacation leave does not exceed 1 0 days. \n \n MERIWETHER COUNTY BOARD OF EDUCATION NOTES TO THE BASIC FINANCIAL STATEMENTS \nJUNE 30,2010 \n \nBeginningof Year Liability \n \nIncreases \n \nDecreases \n \nEXHIBIT \"H\" \nEnd of Year Liability \n \nGENERAL OBLIGATION BONDS \nThe School District issues general obligation bonds to provide funds for the acquisition and construction of major capital facilities. In the District-wide financial statements, bond premiums and discounts, as well as issuance costs, are deferred and amortized over the life of the bonds using the straight-line method. Bond issuance costs are reported as deferred charges and amortized over the term of the debt. \nIn the fund financial statements, the School District recognizes bond premiums and discounts, as well as bond issuance costs during the fiscal year bonds are issued. Premiums received on debt issuances are reported as other financing sources while discounts on debt issuances are reported as other financing uses. Issuance costs, whether or not withheld from the actual debt proceeds received, are reported as debt service expenditures. In addition, general obligation bonds have been issued to refund existing general obligation bonds. General obligation bonds are direct obligations and pledge the full faith and credit of the government. The outstanding amount of these bonds is recorded in the Statement of Net Assets. \nNET ASSETS \nThe School District's net assets in the District-wide Statements are classified as follows: \nInvested in capital assets, net of related debt - This represents the School District's total investment in capital assets, net of outstanding debt obligations related to those capital assets. To the extent debt has been incurred but not yet expended for capital assets, such amounts are not included as a component of invested in capital assets, net of related debt. \nRestricted net assets-These represent resources for which the School District is legally or contractually obligated to spend resources for continuation of Federal Programs, debt service, and capital projects in accordance with restrictions imposed by external third parties. \nUnrestricted net assets - Unrestricted net assets represent resources derived from property taxes, sales taxes, grants and contributions not restricted to specific programs, charges for services, and miscellaneous revenues. These resources are used for transactions relating to the educational and general operations of the School District, and may be used at the discretion of the Board to meet current expenses for those purposes. \nFUND BALANCES \nReserved Reserves represent those portions of fund balance equity that are legally segregated for a specific future use. \n- Unreserved Designated \nDesignatedfund balances represent tentative plans for future use of financial resources. \n \n MERIWETHER COUNTY BOARD OF EDUCATION NOTES TO THE BASIC FINANCIAL STATEMENTS \nJUNE 30,2010 \n \nEXHIBIT \"H\" \n \nUSE OF ESTIMATES \nThe 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. \nNOTE 3: DEPOSITS AND INVESTMENTS \nCOLIATERALIZATION OF DEPOSITS \nOfficial Code of Georgia Annotated (O.C.G.A.) Section 45-8-12 provides that there shall not be on deposit at any time in any depository for a time longer than ten days a sum of money which has not been secured by surety bond, by guarantee of insurance, or by collateral. The aggregate of the face value of such surety bond and the market value of securities pledged shall be equal to not less than 1 1 0 percent of the public funds being secured after the deduction of the amount of deposit insurance. If a depository elects the pooled method (O.C.G.A. Section 45-8-13.1) the aggregate of the market value of the securities pledged to secure a pool of public funds shall be not less than 1 1 0 percent of the daily pool balance. \nAcceptable security for deposits consists of any one of or any combination of the following: \n1. Surety bond signed by a surety company duly qualified and authorized to transact business within the State of Georgia, \n2. lnsurance on accounts provided by the Federal Deposit lnsurance Corporation, \n3. Bonds, bills, notes, certificates of indebtedness or other direct obligations of the United States or of the State of Georgia, \n4. Bonds, bills, notes, certificates of indebtedness or other obligations of the counties or municipalities of the State of Georgia, \n5 . Bonds of any public authority created by the laws of the State of Georgia, providing that the statute that created the authority authorized the use of the bonds for this purpose, \n6. Industrial revenue bonds and bonds of development authorities created by the laws of the State of Georgia, and \n7.

The School District does not have a formal policy for managing custodial credit risk. At June 30, 2010, the bank balances were $4,381,333.09. The bank balances were entirely covered by Federal depository insurance. The School District does not have a formal policy for managing custodial credit risk. \n \n MERIWETHER COUNTY BOARD OF EDUCATION NOTES TO THE BASIC FINANCIAL STATEMENTS \nJUNE 30,2010 \n \nEXHIBIT \"H\" \n \nCATEGORIZATION OF INVESTMENTS \n \nAt June 30, 2010, the carrying value of the School District's total investments was $479,271.77, which is materially the same as fair value. This investment consisted entirely of funds invested in the Georgia Fund 1,formerly referred to as LGIP, administered by the State of Georgia, Office of Treasury and Fiscal Services which are 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 Treasury and Fiscal Services for the Georgia Fund 1(Primary Liquidity Portfolio) does not provide for investment in derivatives or similar investments. Additional information on the Georgia Fund 1is disclosed in the State of Georgia Comprehensive Annual Financial Report. This audit can be obtained from the Georgia Department of Audits and Accounts at htt~://www.audits.~a.~ov/SGD/cafr.html. \n \nThe Primary Liquidity Portfolio consists of Georgia Fund 1which is not registered with the SEC as an investment company but does operate in a manner consistent with the SEC's Rule 2a-7 of the Investment Company Act of 1940.

Additional insurance coverage is provided through an agreement by the Fund with the Safety National Casualty Corporation to provide coverage for potential losses sustained by the Fund in excess of $500,000.00 loss per occurrence, up to the statutory limit. Employers' Liability insurance coverage is also provided by Safety National Casualty Corporation to provide coverage for potential losses sustained by the Fund in excess of $500,000.00 loss per occurrence, up to $2,000,000.00. \nThe School District has purchased surety bonds to provide additional insurance coverage as follows: \n \nPosition Covered \n \nAmount \n \nSuperintendent Other Employees \n \nNOTE 8: SHORT-TERM DEBT \n \nThe School District issues tax anticipation notes in advance of property tax collections, depositing the proceeds in its General Fund.

These lease agreements qualify as capital leases for accounting purposes, and, therefore, have been recorded at the present value of the future minimum lease payments as of the date of their inception. \nCOMPENSATED ABSENCES \nCompensated absences represent obligations of the School District relating to employees' rights to receive compensation for future absences based upon service already rendered. This obligation relates only to vesting accumulating leave in which payment is probable and can be reasonably estimated. Typically, the General Fund is the fund used to liquidate this long-term debt. The School District uses the vesting method t o compute compensated absences. \nINTERGOVERNMENTAL CONTRACT \nThe Meriwether County Board of Education entered into a contract with the Meriwether County Public Facilities Authority (Authority) dated October 1,1999, for the issuance of bonds to provide funds for the financing of the construction and renovation of various school facilities owned by the School District. Under the terms of the contract, the Authority issued $8,810,000.00 (less issuance costs of $229,391.00) in revenue bonds on behalf of the School District. On January 4, 2006, the Authority issued refunding bonds in the amount of $8,160,000.00 (less issuance costs of $171,600.00) to refund a portion of the October 1,1999 issue due from October 1,2010 through October 1,2026. The School District has contractually agreed to make semi-annual payments to the Authority sufficient to retire principal and interest on the outstanding bonds. The obligation of the School District is absolute and unconditional so long as any of the bonds remain outstanding.

The Georgia School Personnel Post-employment Health Benefit Fund (School OPEB Fund) is a cost-sharing multiple-employer defined benefit post-employment healthcare plan that covers eligible former employees of public school systems, libraries and regional educational service agencies. The School OPEB Fun provides health insurance benefits to eligible former employees and their qualified beneficiaries through the State Employees Health lnsurance Plan administered by the Department of Community Health. The Official Code of Georgia Annotated (OCGA) 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). \nFunding Policy. The contribution requirements of plan members and participating employers are established by the Board in accordance with the current Appropriations Act and may be amended by the Board. Contributions of plan members or beneficiaries receiving benefits vary based on plan election, dependent coverage, and Medicare eligibility and election. On average, plan members pay approximately 25 percent of the cost of health insurance coverage. \nParticipating 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. \nThe combined active and retiree contribution rates established by the Board for employers participating in the School OPEB Fund were as follows for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2010: \n \n MERIWETHER COUNTY BOARD OF EDUCATION NOTES TO THE BASIC FINANCIAL STATEMENTS \nJUNE 30,2010 \n \nEXHIBIT \"H\" \n \nFor certificated teachers, librarians and regional educational service agencies: \n \nJuly 2009 August 2009 -October 2009 November 2009 -June 2010 \n \n18.534% of covered payrollfor August Coverage \n14.492% of covered payrollfor September - November Coverage \n18.534% of covered payrollfor December- July Coverage \n \nFor non-certificated school personnel: \n \nJuly 2009 -June 2010 \n \n$162.72 per member per month plus Department of Education contribution of $22,838,311.00 \n \nNo additional contribution was required by the Board for fiscal year 2010 nor contributed to the State OPEB Fund to prefund retiree benefits. Such additional contribution amounts are determined annually by the Board in accordance with the State plan for other post-employment benefits and are subject to appropriation. \n \nThe School District's combined active and retiree contributions to the health insurance plans, which \n \nequaled the required contribution, for the current fiscal year and the preceding two fiscal years were \n \nas follows: \n \nPercentage \n \nRequired \n \nFiscal Year \n \nContributed \n \nContribution \n \nNOTE 14: RETIREMENT PLANS \nTEACHERS RETIREMENT SYSTEM OF GEORGIA (TRS) \nPlan Description. The TRS is a cost-sharing multiple-employer defined benefit plan created in 1943 by an act of the Georgia General Assembly to provide retirement benefits for qualifying employees in educational service. A Board of Trustees comprised of active and retired members and ex-officio State employees is ultimately responsible for the administration of TRS. The Teachers Retirement System of Georgia issues a separate stand alone financial audit report and a copy can be obtained from the Georgia Department of Audits and Accounts. \nOn October 25, 1996, the Board created the Supplemental Retirement Benefits Plan of the Georgia Teachers Retirement System (SRBP-TRS). SRBP-TRS was established as a qualified excess benefit plan in accordance with Section 415 of the Internal Revenue Code (IRC) as a portion of TRS. The purpose of SRBP-TRS is to provide retirement benefits to employees covered by TRS whose benefits are otherwise limited by IRC Section 415. Beginning July 1,1997, all members and retired former members in TRS are eligible to participate in the SRBP-TRS whenever their benefits under TRS exceed the IRC Section 415 imposed limitation on benefits. \nTRS provides service retirement, disability retirement, and survivor's benefits. The benefit structure of TRS is defined and may be amended by State statute. A member 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. A member is eligible for early retirement after 2 5 years of creditable service. \n \n MERIWETHER COUNTY BOARD OF EDUCATION NOTES TO THE BASIC FINANCIAL STATEMENTS \nJUNE 30,2010 \n \nEXHIBIT \"H\" \n \nNormal retirement (pension) benefits paid to members are equal to 2% of the average of the member's two highest paid consecutive years of service, multiplied by the number of years of creditable service up to 4 0 years. Early retirement benefits are reduced by the lesser of one-twelfth of 7% for each month the member is below age 6 0 or by 7% for each year or fraction thereof by which the member has less than 3 0 years of service. It is also assumed that certain cost-of-living adjustments, based on the Consumer Price Index, will be made in future years. Retirement benefits are payable monthly for life. A member may elect to receive a partial lump-sum distribution in addition to a reduced monthly retirement benefit. Death, disability and spousal benefits are also available. \n \nFunding Policy. TRS is funded by member and employer contributions as adopted and amended by the Board of Trustees. Members become fully vested after 10 years of service. If a member terminates with less than 1 0 years of service, no vesting of employer contributions occurs, but the member's contributions may be refunded with interest. Member contributions are limited by State law to not less than 5% or more than 6% of a member's earnable compensation. Member contributions as adopted by the Board of Trustees for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2010, were 5.25% of annual salary. The member contribution rate will increase to 5.53% effective July 1,2010. Employer contributions required for fiscal year 2010 were 9.74% of annual salary as required by the June 30, 2007, actuarial valuation. The employer contribution rate will increase to 10.28% effective July 1,2010. \n \nEmployer contributions for the current fiscal year and the preceding two fiscal years are as follows: \n \nFiscal Year \n \nPercentage Contributed \n \nRequired Contribution \n \n (This page left intentionally blank) \n \n MERIWETHER COUNTY BOARD OF EDUCATION GENERAL FUND \nSCHEDULE OF REVENUES, EXPENDITURESAND CHANGES IN FUND BALANCES BUDGET AND ACTUAL \nYEAR ENDEDJUNE 30.2010 \n \nSCHEDULE \"1\" \n \nREVENUES \nProperty Taxes Sales Tax State Funds Federal Funds Charges for Services Investment Earnings Miscellaneous \nTotal Revenues \nEXPENDITURES \nCurrent Instruction Support Services Pupil Services Improvement of Instructional Services Educational Media Services General Administration School Administration Business Administration Maintenance and Operation of Plant Student Transportation Services Central Support Services Other Support Services Enterprise Operations Food Services Operation Debt Service \nTotal Expenditures \nExcess of Revenues over (under) Expenditures \nOTHER FINANCING USES \nOther Uses \nNet Change in Fund Balances \n- Fund Balances Beginning \nAdjustments \n \nNONAPPROPRIATED BUDGETS \n \nORIGINAL (1) \n \nFINAL (1) \n \nACTUAL AMOUNTS \n \nFund Balances- Ending \n \nNotes to the Schedule of Revenues, Exoendituresand ChanPes in Fund Balances Budget and Actual (1) Originaland Final Budget amounts do not include budgeted revenuesor expenditures of the various principal accounts.

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. \nInternal Control Over Financial Re~orting \nIn planning and performing our audit, we considered Meriwether County Board of Education's internal control over financial reporting as a basis for designing our auditing procedures 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 Meriwether County Board of Education's internal control over financial reporting. Accordingly, we do not express an opinion on the effectiveness of the Meriwether County Board of Education's internal control over financial reporting. \nA 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 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. \nOur consideration of internal control over financial reportingwas 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 deficiencies, significant deficiencies or material weaknesses. We did not identify any deficiencies in internal control over financial reporting that we consider t o be material weaknesses, as defined above. \n \n Compliance and Other Matters \nAs part of obtaining reasonable assurance about whether Meriwether County Board of Education's financial statements are free of 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. \nThis report is intended solely for the information and use of management, members of the Meriwether County Board of Education, others within the entity, Federal awarding agencies and passthrough entities and is not intended to be and should not be used by anyone other than these specified parties. \nRespectfully submitted, \n~ u b e lWl .

Ci~ulaAr -233 Compliance Supplement that could have a direct and material effect on each of its major Federal programs for the year ended June 30, 2010. Meriwether County Board of Education's major Federal programs are identified in the Summary of Auditor's Results section of the accompanying Schedule of Findings and Questioned Costs. Compliance with the requirements of laws, regulations, contracts, and grants applicable to each of its major Federal programs is the responsibility of Meriwether County Board of Education's management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on Meriwether County Board of Education's compliance based on our audit. \nWe 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 OMB Circular A-133, Audi\u0026 of States, Low1 Governments, and Non-Profit Organizations. Those standards and OMB Circular A-133 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 Meriwether County Board of Education'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. Our audit does not provide a legal determination on Meriwether County Board of Education's compliance with those requirements. \nIn our opinion, the Meriwether County Board of Education 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 programsfor the year ended June 30,2010. \n \n Internal Control Over Com~liance \nManagement of Meriwether County Board of Education is responsible for establishing and maintaining effective internal control over compliance with the requirements of laws, regulations, contracts, and grants applicable to Federal programs. In planning and petforming our audit, we considered Meriwether County Board of Education's internal control over compliance with the requirements that could have a direct and material effect on a major Federal program to determine the auditing procedures for the purpose of expressing our opinion on compliance and to test and report on internal control over compliance in accordance with OMB Circular A-133, 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 Meriwether County Board of Education's internal control over compliance. \nA deficiency in internal control over complianceexists 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 complince 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. \nOur 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 deficiencies, significant deficiencies, or material weaknesses. We did not identify any deficiencies in internal control over compliance that we consider to be material weaknesses,as defined above. \nThis report is intended solely for the information and use of management, members of the Meriwether County Board of Education, others within the entity, Federal awarding agencies and passthrough entities and is not intended to be and should not be used by anyone other than these specified parties. \nRespectfully submitted, \n~ u j l s e lWl .

These financial statements are the responsibility of the Meriwether County Board of Education's management. Our responsibility is to express opinions on these financial statements based on our audit. \nWe 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 of material misstatement. An audit includes consideration of internal control over financial reporting as a basis for designing audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the Meriwether County Board of Education's internal control over financial reporting. Accordingly, we express no such opinion. An audit also includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements, assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believe that our audit provides a reasonable basis for our opinions. \n \n                                                          "}],"pages":{"current_page":2,"next_page":null,"prev_page":1,"total_pages":2,"limit_value":10,"offset_value":10,"total_count":12,"first_page?":false,"last_page?":true},"facets":[{"name":"type_facet","items":[{"value":"Text","hits":12}],"options":{"sort":"count","limit":16,"offset":0,"prefix":null}},{"name":"creator_facet","items":[{"value":"Georgia.
