To the Board of Trustees and Taxpayers of the Spring Branch Independent School District:
The Texas Education Code requires that all school districts file a complete set of financial statements with
the Texas Education Agency (TEA) within 150 days of the close of each fiscal year. The financial
statements must be presented in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP) and
audited by a firm of licensed certified public accountants in accordance with auditing standards generally
accepted in the United States of America and Government Auditing Standards, issued by the Comptroller
General of the United States. Pursuant to that requirement, we hereby issue the Comprehensive Annual
Financial Report of the Spring Branch Independent School District (the District) for the fiscal year
ended June 30, 2011.
This report consists of managements representations concerning the finances of the District.
Consequently, management assumes full responsibility for the completeness and reliability of all of the
information presented in this report. To provide a reasonable basis for making these representations,
management of the District has established a comprehensive internal control framework that is designed
both to protect the governments assets from loss, theft, or misuse and to compile sufficient reliable
information for the preparation of the Districts financial statements in conformity with GAAP. Because
the cost of internal controls should not outweigh their benefits, the Districts comprehensive framework
of internal controls has been designed to provide reasonable rather than absolute assurance that the
financial statements will be free from material misstatement. As management, we assert that, to the best
of our knowledge and belief, this financial report is complete and reliable in all material respects.
The Districts financial statements have been audited by Null-Lairson, P.C., CPAs, a firm of licensed
certified public accountants. The goal of the independent audit was to provide reasonable assurance that
the financial statements of the District for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2011, are free of material
misstatement. The independent audit involved 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; and, evaluating the overall financial statement presentation.
The independent auditor concluded, based upon the audit, that there was a reasonable basis for rendering
an unqualified opinion and that the Districts financial statements for the period ended June 30, 2011, are
fairly presented in conformity with GAAP. The independent auditors report is presented as the first
component of the financial section of this report.
The independent audit of the financial statements of the District was part of a broader, federally-mandated
Single Audit designed to meet the special needs of federal grantor agencies. The standards governing
Single Audit engagements require the independent auditor to report not only on the fair presentation of
the financial statements, but also on the audited governments internal controls and compliance with legal
requirements, with special emphasis on internal controls and legal requirements involving the
administration of federal awards. These reports are available in the Districts separately issued Single
Audit Report.

iii

GAAP requires that management provide a narrative introduction, overview, and analysis to accompany
the basic financial statements in the form of Managements Discussion and Analysis (MD&A). This
letter of transmittal is designed to complement MD&A and should be read in conjunction with it. The
Districts MD&A can be found immediately following the report of the independent auditors.
Profile of the District
Spring Branch Independent School District (SBISD) encompasses about 44 square miles of wooded
suburbs and vibrant business and retail districts located west of downtown Houston along Interstate 10,
also known as the Katy Freeway.
About 188,000 district residents live in this region of west Houston and in the incorporated villages of
Bunker Hill, Hedwig, Hilshire, Hunters Creek, Piney Point and Spring Valley. Many families have lived
in the Memorial/Spring Branch area all their lives, while others are new to the area or are relocating for
career reasons.
The school district follows a small neighborhood school concept where attendance areas have been
established for each individual school. Students go to the school in the attendance area in which they
reside. As an established community, SBISDs campus attendance zones rarely change.
Year after year, SBISDs college-readiness indicators exceed regional, state and national averages. More
than 80 percent of SBISD students take either the SAT or ACT, another performance measure and one of
the higher participation rates in the Houston region.
Last fall, 31 top seniors were named 2010 National Merit Scholarship Program Semifinalists or recipients
in the National Hispanic Recognition Program. All National Merit Semifinalists were later named
Finalists, which made them eligible for business or other scholarship opportunities.
SBISD is home to 25 elementary schools, seven traditional middle school campuses, four traditional high
schools and four special campuses. In addition, it operates two innovative public charter schools a
middle school that has been ranked Exemplary by the Texas Education Agency since the school first
opened, and a popular, combined middle and high school campus that offers the highly challenging and
prestigious International Baccalaureate (IB) academic program.
In addition to its IB program, the Westchester Academy for International Studies charter school is the 19th
SBISD campus to earn the federal ranking as a Blue Ribbon School. Other recognized campuses
include Bunker Hill, Frostwood, Hunters Creek, Memorial Drive, Nottingham, Ridgecrest, Rummel
Creek, Spring Shadows and Wilchester elementary schools; Memorial, Northbrook, Spring Branch,
Spring Forest and Spring Oaks middle schools; and Memorial, Northbrook, Spring Woods and Stratford
high schools.
SBISD educates children from all over the world. Its student body reflects the increasing diversity of
Texas and the nation. With an enrollment of roughly 32,400 students, about 56 percent are Hispanic, 30
percent are white, 7 percent are African-American and 6 percent are Asian.
As a leader in early childhood education, SBISD is one of the few districts in the nation to provide fullday prekindergarten for all students. To enroll, a student must be 4 years old on or before Sept. 1 of the
current school year and reside in SBISD. Five Schools for Early Learning are designed especially for 4year-olds with classroom buildings and secure, enclosed outdoor playgrounds. Prekindergarten classes are
also offered at several elementary schools. Students who meet state eligibility requirements attend
prekindergarten at no cost. Others attend at low comparable monthly cost.

iv

Other special offerings in SBISD include Dual Language Programs from prekindergarten through fifth
grade at Cedar Brook Elementary, as well as newer Dual Language Programs now offered at Pine
Shadows and Sherwood elementary schools. Ongoing dual language instruction can be found at the
secondary level, too. SBISD is also home to the recently renovated W.W. Emmons Natatorium, Don
Coleman Coliseum and historic Darrell Tully Stadium with seating for up to 15,000 fans. The privately
run and financed Altharetta Yeargin Art Museum, located on the Westchester Academy campus, houses a
donated collection of 600-plus art and artifacts from around the world valued at more than $2 million. In
addition, Spring Branch offers taxpayers every tax exemption allowed by Texas law, which results in
lower school taxes for homeowners.
In November 2007, Spring Branch voters approved a $597.1 million Bond, the biggest in district history.
Over the years ahead, this bond plan will transform the district for the future. The bond supports
rebuilding 13 of the districts oldest schools, replacing and upgrading critical electrical, HVAC and other
systems, and improving athletic facilities and safety and security systems district-wide. Bond funds have
put 85 new buses on the roads and upgraded technology on every campus.
As of August 2011, seven newly rebuilt elementary campuses have been completed and opened. These
include Edgewood, Hollibrook, Ridgecrest, Shadow Oaks, Spring Branch, Westwood and Wilchester
elementaries. Renovations and systems upgrades have occurred at many other district schools.
Factors Affecting Financial Condition
The information presented in the financial statements is perhaps best understood when it is considered
from the broader perspective of the specific environment within which the District operates.
Local Economy. The District currently enjoys a favorable economic environment and local indicators
point to continued stability. The region has a varied manufacturing and industrial base that adds to the
relative stability of the unemployment rate. Major industries with headquarters or divisions located within
the Districts boundaries include oil field machinery and equipment, industrial machinery, paper and
allied products, and lumber products.
The Districts proximity to Houston provides the area with access to the nations second largest seaport in
total tonnage, one of the nations leading centers for medical education and research, many colleges and
universities, a dynamic cultural arts community, excellent recreational opportunities, and a national center
of commerce, world trade and corporate management. From September 2010 to September 2011,
Houstons employment increase was 1.74%, which registered a net gain of approximately 17,225 jobs.
These economic indicators should continue to effect the Districts tax base.
Relevant Financial Policies
Budget. Budget planning is an integral part of overall program planning so that the budget effectively
reflects the Districts programs and activities, and provides the resources to implement them. In the
budget planning process, general educational goals, specific program goals, and alternatives for achieving
program goals are considered, as well as input from the District and campus-level planning and decisionmaking committees. Budget planning and evaluation are continuous processes and are a part of each
months activities.
Fund Balance. Recognizing fund balance as key in maintaining a strong financial position, the Board
policy regarding fund balance stipulates a goal of maintaining an adequate fund balance. The level of
adequacy for the general fund balance is defined as 19% of the current budget, while the debt service fund
is defined as 15% of the current year debt service requirements.

Financial Planning. The primary foundation for the districts management and decision making is the
Districts five year educational plan. There are several departmental plans which fold into the districts
overall comprehensive plan. The district maintains a Five-Year Technology Plan and a Long-Range
Facilities Plan. Additionally, the Board adopted a Five-Year Educational Plan containing eight goals and
twenty-one objectives. Resources for the accomplishment of these goals are identified in each
departments action plan and are used in the development of multi-year forecasts. Estimated taxable
values are a major factor in forecasting, as the District currently generates 73% of general fund revenue
from local taxes. Other major factors used in developing these forecasts include number of students
enrolled and in average daily attendance, salaries, insurance and cost of inflationary items such as utilities
and fuel. Ultimately, these forecasts are prepared and reviewed several times a year and shared with the
Board, staff, community and other stakeholders.
Awards and Acknowledgements
The Government Finance Officers Association (GFOA) awarded a Certificate of Achievement for
Excellence in Financial Reporting to the District for its Comprehensive Annual Financial Report (CAFR)
for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2010. In order to be awarded a Certificate of Achievement, the
government published an easily readable and efficiently organized CAFR. This report satisfied both
GAAP and applicable legal requirements.
A Certificate of Achievement is valid for a period of one year. We believe that our current CAFR
continues to meet the Certificate of Achievement Programs requirements and will submit it to the GFOA
to determine its eligibility for another certificate.
The TEA has awarded the District a rating of Superior Achievement for the year ended June 30, 2011.
This is the ninth year of the States new financial accountability rating system for school districts (School
FIRST). The rating is based upon an analysis of staff and student data reported for the 2009-10 school
year and budgetary and actual financial data for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2010.
The preparation of this report would not have been possible without the efficient and dedicated services
of the entire staff of the Financial Services Department. We would like to express our appreciation to all
members of the department who assisted and contributed to the preparation of this report. Credit also
must be given to the Board of Trustees for their unfailing support for maintaining the highest standards of
professionalism in the management of the Districts finances. Finally, we would like to thank the
residents of the District for their support of and belief in our public school system, and the teachers and
campus teams who provide the quality education for which our District is known.
Respectfully submitted,

Independent Auditors Report

To the Board of Trustees


Spring Branch Independent School District
Houston, Texas
We have audited the accompanying financial statements of the governmental activities, the business-type
activities, each major fund and the aggregate remaining fund information of Spring Branch Independent
School District (the District) as of and for the year ended June 30, 2011, which collectively comprise
the Districts basic financial statements as listed in the table of contents. These financial statements are
the responsibility of the Districts management. 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 of material
misstatement. 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.
In our opinion, the financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the
respective financial position of the governmental activities, the business-type activities, each major fund,
and the aggregate remaining fund information of the District as of June 30, 2011, and the respective
changes in financial position and cash flows, where applicable, thereof for the year then ended in
conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.
In accordance with Government Auditing Standards, we have also issued our report dated November 21,
2011, on our consideration of the Districts internal control over financial reporting and on our tests of its
compliance with certain provisions of law, regulations, contracts, and grant agreements and other matters.
The purpose of that report is to describe the scope of our testing of internal control over financial
reporting and compliance and the results of that testing, and not to provide an opinion on the internal
control over financial reporting or on compliance. That report is an integral part of an audit performed in
accordance with Government Auditing Standards and should be considered in assessing the results of our
audit.

Accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America require that the managements
discussion and analysis and budgetary comparison information on pages 5 through 13 and 72 through 75
be presented to supplement the basic financial statements. Such information, although not a part of the
basic financial statements, is required by the Governmental Accounting Standards Board, who considers
it to be an essential part of financial reporting for placing the basic financial statements in an appropriate
operational, economic, or historical context. We have applied certain limited procedures to the required
supplementary information in accordance with auditing standards generally accepted in the United States
of America, which consisted of inquiries of management about the methods of preparing the information
and comparing the information for consistency with managements responses to our inquiries, the basic
financial statements, and other knowledge we obtained during our audit of the basic financial statements.
We do not express an opinion or provide any assurance on the information because the limited procedures
do not provide us with sufficient evidence to express an opinion or provide any assurance.
Our audit was conducted for the purpose of forming opinions on the financial statements that collectively
comprise the Districts basic financial statements as a whole. The Introductory Section, Other
Supplementary Information, Required Texas Education Agency Schedules and Statistical Section, are
presented for the purpose of additional analysis and are not a required part of the financial statements.
The Other Supplementary Information and the Required Texas Education Agency Schedules as listed in
the table of contents are the responsibility of management and were derived from and relate directly to the
underlying accounting and other records used to prepare the financial statements. The information has
been subjected to the auditing procedures applied in the audit of the financial statements and certain
additional procedures, including comparing and reconciling such information directly to the underlying
accounting and other records used to prepare the financial statements or to the financial statements
themselves, and other additional procedures in accordance with auditing standards generally accepted in
the United States of America. In our opinion, the information is fairly stated in all material respects in
relation to the financial statements as a whole. The Introductory Section and Statistical Sections have not
been subjected to the auditing procedures applied in the audit of the basic financial statements and,
accordingly, we do not express an opinion or provide any assurance on them.

Managements Discussion and Analysis

(This page intentionally left blank.)

SPRING BRANCH INDEPENDENT SCHOOL DISTRICT


MANAGEMENTS DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS

As management of the Spring Branch Independent School District (the District), we offer readers of the
Districts financial statements this narrative overview and analysis of the financial activities of the District
for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2011. We encourage readers to consider the information presented here
in conjunction with additional information that we have furnished in our letter of transmittal, which can
be found on pages iii to vi of this report.
Financial Highlights

The assets of the District exceeded its liabilities at the close of the fiscal year by $130,679,662
(net assets). Of this amount, $51,545,046 was invested in capital assets net of related debt,
$7,841,168 restricted for debt service, $2,493,836 restricted for the Food Service Program,
$7,204,233 restricted for federal and state programs and $792,225 for campus activities, leaving
the District with a net $60,803,154 in unrestricted net assets.

The Districts total net assets decreased by $839,430 as a result of this years operations.

The Districts governmental funds reported combined ending fund balances of $240,502,183 as
of June 30, 2011. Non-spendable fund balances include $1,628,657 for inventories on hand in
the General Fund and Food Service Program included in the Special Revenue Fund; and
$2,081,390 for prepaid items in the General Fund, Food Service Program and Special Revenue
Local Funds. Restricted fund balances include $2,224,742 for the Food Service Program included
in the Special Revenue Fund, $145,114,405 for Capital Projects Fund projects, $21,982,200 for
ongoing Debt Service Fund expenditures, and $7,199,320 for Special Revenue Funds. Committed
fund balance includes $791,976 for Campus Activity funds included in the Special Revenue
Fund. Management has assigned fund balance of $27,423,625 for General Fund future spending.
The remaining amount in Unassigned fund balance of $32,055,868 includes General Fund
encumbrances re-appropriated in the subsequent years budget of $473,702, and the remaining
amount is available for spending at the governments discretion.
Overview of the Financial Statements

This discussion and analysis is intended to serve as an introduction to the Districts basic financial
statements. The Districts basic financial statements comprise three components: 1) government-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,
including schedules required by the Districts state oversight agency, the Texas Education Agency (TEA).
Government-Wide Financial Statements
The focus of government-wide financial statements is on the overall financial position and activities of
the District. The Districts government-wide financial statements include the Statement of Net Assets and
the Statement of Activities (on pages 17 to 19), which are prepared using accounting principles that are
similar to commercial enterprises. These statements provide information about the activities of the
District as a whole and present a longer-term view of the District's capital assets, debt obligations, and
other financial matters.

SPRING BRANCH INDEPENDENT SCHOOL DISTRICT


MANAGEMENTS DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS (continued)

The Statement of Net Assets includes all the District's assets and liabilities at the end of the year, with the
difference between the two reported as net assets. This difference is similar to the total owners equity
presented by a commercial enterprise. All of the District's assets are reported whether they serve the
current year or future years. Liabilities are considered regardless of whether they must be paid in the
current or future years. Although the purpose of the District is not to accumulate net assets, in general, as
the amount increases, it may indicate that the financial position of the District is improving over time. To
fully assess the overall health of the District, however, other factors should be considered as well, such as
changes in the District's average daily attendance or its property tax base and the condition of the
District's capital assets.
The purpose of the Statement of Activities is to present the revenues and expenses of the District. Again,
the items presented on the Statement of Activities are measured in a manner similar to the approach used
by a commercial enterprise in that revenues are recognized when earned or established criteria are
satisfied and expenses are reported when incurred by the District. Thus, revenues are reported even when
they may not be collected for several months or years after the end of the accounting period and expenses
are recorded even though they may not have used cash during the current period.
The District's revenues are divided into those provided by outside parties who share the costs of some
programs, such as tuition received for summer school and grants provided by the U.S. Department of
Education to assist children with disabilities or from disadvantaged backgrounds (program revenues), and
revenues provided by the taxpayers or by TEA in the equalization funding processes (general revenues).
Although the Statement of Activities looks different from a commercial enterprise income statement, the
financial statement is different only in format, not substance.
The Districts business-type activities include the Districts tuition/fee-based self-sustaining programs,
such as athletic rentals/concessions, after school programs, employee childcare, community education,
fine arts, facility rental and summer school. Business-type activities are intended to recover all or a
significant portion of their costs through user fees and charges.
The District does not have any component units for which it is financially accountable.
Fund Financial Statements
Fund financial statements (starting on page 20) report the District's operations in more detail than the
government-wide statements by providing information about the District's funds. For governmental
activities, these statements tell how services were financed in the short term as well as resources
remaining for future spending. They reflect the flow of current financial resources, and supply the basis
for tax levies and the appropriations budget. For proprietary activities, fund financial statements tell how
goods or services of the District were sold to employees, students and community members, and how the
sales revenues covered the expenses of the goods or services. The remaining statements, fiduciary
statements, provide financial information about activities for which the District acts solely as a trustee or
agent for the benefit of those outside of the district.
Laws and contracts require the District to establish some programs, such as grants received from the U.S.
Department of Education. The District's administration establishes many program revenue and cost
centers to help control and manage money for particular program purposes (such as campus activities).

SPRING BRANCH INDEPENDENT SCHOOL DISTRICT


MANAGEMENTS DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS (continued)

All of the Districts funds can be divided into three categories: governmental funds, proprietary
funds and fiduciary funds.
Governmental funds - Governmental funds are used to account for essentially the same
functions reported as governmental activities in the government-wide financial
statements. However, unlike the government-wide financial statements, governmental
fund financial statements focus on near-term inflows and outflows of spendable
resources, as well as on balances of spendable resources available at the end of the fiscal
year. Such information may be useful in evaluating a governments near-term financing
requirements. The focus of governmental funds is narrower than that of the governmentwide financial statements therefore it is useful to compare the information presented for
governmental funds with similar information presented for governmental activities in the
government-wide financial statements. By doing so, readers may better understand the
long-term impact of the governments near-term financing decisions. Both, the Balance
Sheet and the Statement of Revenues, Expenditures, and Changes in Fund Balances for
governmental funds provide a reconciliation to facilitate this comparison between
governmental funds and governmental activities.
The District maintains four governmental funds. Information is presented separately in
fund financial statements for the general, special revenue, debt service, and capital
projects funds, all of which are considered to be major funds. The District adopts annual
appropriations budgets at the revenue source and functional expenditure levels for its
general fund, the food service program included in the special revenue fund, and debt
service fund as required by TEA. Budgetary comparison schedules have been provided
to demonstrate finance related legal compliance with these budgets. Management has
determined that federal and state approved and administrative budgets for selected special
revenue fund programs are important for readers use and has included non-appropriated
budget comparisons for these programs at the end of this report.
Proprietary funds - Proprietary funds provide the same type of information as the
government-wide financial statements, only in more detail. There are two proprietary
fund types. Enterprise funds are used to report the same function presented as businesstype activities in the government-wide financial statements. The District has one
business-type activity (enterprise fund), which consists of tuition-based self-sustaining
programs, such as Child Care, Adult Education and Drivers Education. The second type
of proprietary fund is the internal service fund. Internal service funds are an accounting
device used to accumulate and allocate costs internally among the various functions. The
District has one internal service fund, the Workers Compensation Fund. The basic
proprietary fund financial statements can be found on pages 27 to 29 of this report.
Fiduciary funds - Fiduciary funds are used to account for resources held for the benefit
of parties outside the government. The District is the trustee, or fiduciary, for money
raised by student activities and scholarships in private-purpose funds. All of the
Districts fiduciary activities are reported in separate Statements of Fiduciary Net Assets
and Changes in Net Assets on pages 30 and 31. We exclude these resources from the
Districts government-wide financial statements because the District cannot use these
assets to finance its operations. The District is only responsible for ensuring that the
assets reported in these funds are used for their intended purposes.

SPRING BRANCH INDEPENDENT SCHOOL DISTRICT


MANAGEMENTS DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS (continued)

Notes to the Financial Statements


The notes to the financial statements (starting on page 32) provide narrative explanations or additional
data needed for generally accepted full disclosure in the government-wide and fund financial statements.
Other Information
In addition to the basic financial statements and accompanying notes, this report also presents certain
required supplementary information that further explains and supports the information in the financial
statements. The District has presented the general fund budget to actual comparisons in the
supplementary information found on pages 72 to 73 of this report. Additionally, the Districts Food
Service program included in the special revenue fund has an appropriated budget in accordance with
requirements of TEA. This program budget is included on page 74 of this report as it is considered a
perspective difference regarding required supplemental information for presentation of major special
revenue fund budget comparison information in accordance with generally accepted financial reporting
practices.
Government-Wide Financial Analysis
The government-wide financial statements for the Districts overall financial position and operations for
the fiscal years June 30, 2011 and June 30, 2010, are summarized as follows, based on the information
included in the government-wide financial statements.
The Districts total assets exceeded total liabilities by $130,679,662 as of June 30, 2011, an increase of

Investment in capital assets (e.g. land, buildings, furniture and equipment) less any related debt used to
acquire those assets that is still outstanding is $51,545,046 as of June 30, 2011. Although the Districts
debt issuances are used primarily to acquire capital assets, it should be noted that the resources needed to
repay the Districts debt must be provided from other sources, since the capital assets themselves cannot
be used to liquidate these liabilities. An additional portion of the Districts net assets (approximately
14.0%) represents resources that are subject to external restrictions on how they may be used. The
remaining balance of unrestricted net assets is $60,803,154 which represents amounts available for the
District to meet on-going obligations.

SPRING BRANCH INDEPENDENT SCHOOL DISTRICT


MANAGEMENTS DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS (Continued)

The Districts combined property tax rate remained at $1.3945 per $100 of assessed value. This generated
tax revenues of approximately $238 million in 2011, a decrease of $4.1 million over the 2010 fiscal year.
Total expenses above include depreciation of $13,212,549. Capital outlay of approximately $124.1
million is not included in the above total expenses. In the government-wide financial statements, capital
outlay is shown as an increase in the capital assets reported on the Statement of Net Assets and
depreciation expense is reported in the Statement of Activities in order to spread the recognition of the
cost of capital assets over their useful lives.
Net assets of the District's business-type activities increased $516,063 for the year ending June 30, 2011.
Financial Analysis of the Districts Funds
As noted earlier, the District uses fund accounting to ensure and demonstrate compliance with financerelated legal requirements.
The focus of the Districts governmental funds is to provide information on near-term inflows, outflows,
and balances of spendable resources. Such information is useful in assessing the Districts financing
requirements. In particular, unreserved fund balance may serve as a useful measure of a governments net
resources available for spending at the end of the fiscal year.
At the end of the current fiscal year, June 30, 2011, the Districts governmental funds reported:

Combined ending fund balances of $240,502,183, a decrease of $25,216,976 from the year
ended June 30, 2010. This decrease resulted primarily from construction projects funded by the
capital projects fund.

Approximately 13% of this total amount $32,055,868 constitutes unassigned fund balance. The
remainder of fund balance is non-spendable, restricted, committed or assigned to indicate that it
is not available for new spending because it has already been committed as follows:
(1) inventory $1,628,657
(2) prepaid items $2,081,390
(3) food service $2,224,742
(4) capital projects $145,114,405
(5) debt service $21,982,200
(6) special revenue $7,199,320
(7) campus activity $791,976
(8) capital expenditures for equipment $4,234,600
(9) compensated absences (retirement payoff) $12,859,848
(10) subsequent year expenditures $9,989,773
(11) other assignment totaling $339,404

The general fund is the primary operating fund of the District. At the end of the current fiscal year,
unassigned fund balance of the general fund was $32,055,868 while the total fund balance was
$62,915,284. During the current fiscal year, the fund balance of the general fund decreased by
$4,152,222. The District budgeted to use $9.2 million of Fund Balance. Fund Balance only decreased by
$4.2 million due to the following:

SPRING BRANCH INDEPENDENT SCHOOL DISTRICT


MANAGEMENTS DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS (Continued)

Approximately 1% anticipated under spending

The debt service fund has a total fund balance of $21,982,200 all of which is restricted for the payment of
debt. The net decrease in the fund balance during the period in the debt service fund was $372,937. There
was a decrease from property tax collections of $1.6 million due to property tax value decreases.
The capital projects fund is used to account for financial resources to be used for the construction and
renovation of District facilities. The fund balance of the Districts capital projects fund was $145,114,405
on June 30, 2011. The capital projects fund began the year with $169,988,054 in fund balance as a result
of unspent bond proceeds in previous years. The District had capital expenditures in the capital projects
fund of $128.7 million in the current year. The remaining fund balance is restricted for future
construction projects.
General Fund Budgetary Highlights
Over the course of the year, District administration recommended, and the Board of Trustees approved,
several revisions to budgeted revenue and appropriations. Revisions to the revenue budget are necessary
due to changes in estimates for local and state revenue based on updated information concerning student
attendance and tax collections. Revisions to appropriations are necessary due to staffing adjustments
based on actual enrollment, changes in spending needs over the course of the year and other unexpected
occurrences.
As a high property wealth Chapter 41 district, the District is required to send Recapture money back to
the state. This Recapture is locally assessed tax dollars sent to the state to satisfy statewide school
funding equalization. Revenue is now based on Target Revenue which is calculated as Weighted Average
Daily Attendance (WADA) times a dollar amount. For 2011-12 the amount is $5,625 per WADA.
The Districts major budget amendments during the year are summarized as follows:

The revenue budget increased by $3.6 million during the year.


o
o
o

Local Tax revenue and State revenue are limited as a combined total so that an increase
in one generally creates a decrease in the other.
Tax Revenue increased by $5.5 million due to taxable value increases.
The final budget for state funding indicated a decrease of $1.6 million. This is partially
due to the increase in local tax collections and a required payment to the state for
recapture budgeted at 4.5 million.

The expenditure budget increased by approximately $10.7 million and, although allocated to
multiple functional categories, it can be attributed to 4 major areas.
o

o

Expenditure budgets for salary and benefits increased by approximately $3.3 million. A
required increase in teachers for student growth and district contributions to health
insurance budgets accounted for more than half of that amount. Budgets for other benefits
such as retirement and unemployment increased due to a number of positions being
eliminated in the upcoming budget year.
Budgets for ongoing software implementations were increased by $1.7 million to record
the continuing projects.
A budget increase of $4.5 million was necessary to account for the recapture payment to
the state.

this report.
Debt
Debt-management policies seek to provide the most favorable climate for District debt projects while
upholding the highest rating possible for debt instruments. Management policies include the following
points:

All debt service obligations will be met when due.


Long-term financing will be restricted to capital projects and purchases of related equipment.
Long-term bonds will not be issued to finance current operations.
The District will cooperate and communicate with bond-rating agencies and work toward
obtaining the most favorable municipal bond rating possible.
Outstanding obligations will be reviewed frequently to ensure the most favorable funding
structure for the District.
All necessary information and material regarding the Districts financial status will be provided to
the appropriate parties.

The ratio of net general bonded debt to assessed valuation is a useful indicator of the Districts debt
position. This data is presented in the schedule Ratios of Net General Obligation Bonded Debt
Outstanding in the statistical section and reflects an decrease in the ratio of net bonded debt to assessed
value of 3.78%, as compared to 3.28% last year.
At year-end, the District had $710.8 million in bonds outstanding including accreted interest on capital
appreciation bonds, deferred loss on refunding bonds, and premiums on bonds at issuance.
The District continues to enjoy excellent underlying bond ratings. The AAA long-term rating on the

Economic Factors and Next Year's Budgets and Rates


Economic factors can have a significant impact on the Districts finances. As of September 2011, the
unemployment rate for Harris County is 8.6% while the state and national rates are 8.4 and 8.8 percent,
respectively. Increases in the unemployment rate could result in a reduction in the Districts tax
collections. Inflationary trends in the region tend to be somewhat lower than the national consumer price
index (CPI). In general, this positive factor helps the District keep costs low. However, two specific
trends have required significant increases in school district expenditures. First, the teacher shortage in
this area has mandated significant salary and benefit increases as districts attempt to attract and retain the
most qualified personnel. Second, inflation and other external factors have resulted in budget increases
for health insurance, electricity and gasoline.
The District's elected and appointed officials considered many factors when setting the 2011-12 fiscal
year general fund budget and tax rate. The General Fund expenditures in 2011-12 are budgeted to
decrease by approximately $9 million from the 2010-09 amended budget.
The Districts enrollment was projected a minimal increase.

RECONCILIATION OF THE STATEMENT OF REVENUES, EXPENDITURES, AND
CHANGES IN FUND BALANCE OF GOVERNMENTAL FUNDS TO THE STATEMENT
OF ACTIVITIES
For the Year Ended June 30, 2011

Data
Control
Codes
Net change in fund balances - total governmental funds (from C-3)

(26,716,976)

Amounts reported for governmental activities in the statement of activities (B-1) are
different because:
1

Governmental funds report capital outlays as expenditures. However, in the statement


of activities, the cost of those assets is allocated over their estimated useful lives as
depreciation expense. This is the amount by which capital outlays exceeded
depreciation.
Capital Expenditures reclassified to assets.
Depreciation expense taken to Statement of Activities

124,150,183
(13,197,799)

Governmental funds report the entire net sales price (proceeds) from sale of an asset
as revenue because it provides current financial resources. In contrast, the Statement
of Activities reports only the gain on the sale of the assets. Thus, the change in net
assets differs from the change in fund balance by the cost of the asset sold.

(10,180,971)

3
4
5
6

Property tax revenues in the statement of activities that do not provide current
financial resources are not reported as revenues in the funds.

(495,530)

Repayment of bond principal is an expenditure in the governmental fund, but the


repayment reduces long-term liabilities in the statement of net assets.
Amortization of bond premium

23,940,313

Proceeds from issuance of long-term debt is reported as an other financing source in


the governmental funds. In the government-wide financial statements, proceeds are
treated as an increase in long-term liabilities.

Payment to escrow agent for refunding

Bond issuance costs paid during the current year will be amortized over the life of the
bonds.

Premium received on the sale of bonds.

10

Repayment of capital lease

11

Some expenses reported in the statement of activities do not require the use of current
financial resources and these are not reported as expenditures in governmental funds:
Increase in interest payable not recognized in fund statements

(137,910,000)
45,416,762
1,171,466
(10,038,466)
165,807

(2,804,032)

12

Decrease in long-term portion of accrued compensated absences

2,196,709

13

Accreted interest on capital appreciation bonds and amortization of bond issuance


costs

3,167,324

14
15

Deferred loss on refunding

Exhibit F-1

NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

Note 1 - Summary of Significant Accounting Policies


The Spring Branch Independent School District (the "District") is an independent public educational
agency operating under applicable laws and regulations of the State of Texas. The District is
autonomously governed by a seven-member Board of Trustees elected by the District's residents.
The District prepares its basic financial statements in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting
principles promulgated by the Governmental Accounting Standards Board (GASB) and other
authoritative sources identified in Statement on Auditing Standards No. 69, as amended by Statement on
Auditing Standards No.s 91 and 93 of the American Institute of Certified Public Accountants; and it
complies with the most recent requirements of the Texas Education Agency's Financial Accountability
System Resource Guide (the "Resource Guide" or FASRG) and the requirements of contracts and grants
of agencies from which it receives funds.
The following is a summary of the most significant accounting policies.
A. Reporting Entity
The District is considered an independent entity for financial reporting purposes and is considered a
primary government. The Board of Trustees (the Board) is elected by the public and has the authority
to make decisions, appoint administrators and managers, and significantly influence operations. It also
has the primary accountability for fiscal matters. Therefore, the District is a financial reporting entity as
defined by the Governmental Accounting Standards Board (GASB) in its Statement No. 14, The
Financial Reporting Entity.
As required by U.S. generally accepted accounting principles, these basic financial statements have been
prepared, based on considerations regarding the potential for inclusion of other entities, organizations, or
functions, as part of the Districts financial reporting entity. The District has implemented GASB
Statement No. 39, Determining Whether Certain Organizations are Component Units. The District
receives support from various PTO, booster clubs and foundation organizations. None of these
organizations meet the criteria specified by GASB 39 to be included in the Districts financial statements.
Therefore, there are no component units included within the reporting entity.
Considerations regarding the potential for inclusion of other entities, organizations, or functions in the
Districts financial reporting entity are based on criteria prescribed by generally accepted accounting
principles. These same criteria are evaluated in considering whether the District is part of any other
governmental or other type of reporting entity. The overriding elements associated with prescribed
criteria considered in determining that the Districts financial reporting entity status is that of a primary
government are: that it has a separately elected governing body; it is legally separate; and it is fiscally
independent of other state and local governments.

32

SPRING BRANCH INDEPENDENT SCHOOL DISTRICT

Exhibit F-1

NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (continued)

Note 1 - Summary of Significant Accounting Policies (continued)


B. Government-Wide and Fund Financial Statements
The Statement of Net Assets and the Statement of Activities are government-wide financial statements.
They report information on all of the Spring Branch Independent School District operating activities and
activities other than the Districts fiduciary (Agency-type) activities. For the most part, the effect of
interfund activities has been removed from these statements. Governmental activities include programs
supported primarily by taxes, state foundation funds, grants and other intergovernmental revenues. The
District Business-type activities rely to a significant extent on fees and charges for support.
The Statement of Activities demonstrates how other people or entities that participate in programs the
District operates have shared in the payment of direct costs. The "charges for services" column includes
payments made by parties that purchase, use, or directly benefit from goods or services provided by a
given function or segment of the District. Examples include tuition paid by students not residing in the
district, school lunch charges, etc. The "Grants and Contributions" column includes amounts paid by
organizations outside the District to help meet the operational or capital requirements of a given function.
Examples include grants under the Elementary and Secondary Education Act (ESEA). If a revenue is not
a program revenue, it is a general revenue used to support all of the District's functions. Property taxes
are considered general revenues.
Interfund activities between governmental funds and proprietary funds appear as Due To/Due From on
the Governmental Fund Balance Sheet and Proprietary Fund Statement of Net Assets. All interfund
transactions between governmental funds are eliminated on the government-wide statements except for
internal services provided. Interfund activities between governmental funds and the enterprise fund
remain on the government-wide statements and appear on the government-wide Statement of Net Assets
as internal balances.
The fund financial statements provide reports on the financial condition and results of operations for three
fund categories - governmental, proprietary, and fiduciary. Since the resources in the fiduciary funds
cannot be used for District operations, they are not included in the government-wide statements. The
District considers all governmental and enterprise funds to be major and reports their financial condition
and results of operations in a separate column.
Proprietary funds distinguish operating revenues and expenses from non-operating items. Operating
revenues and expenses result from providing services and producing and delivering goods in connection
with a proprietary fund's principal ongoing operations. All other revenues and expenses are nonoperating.

33

SPRING BRANCH INDEPENDENT SCHOOL DISTRICT

Exhibit F-1

NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (continued)

Note 1 - Summary of Significant Accounting Policies (continued)


C. Measurement Focus, Basis of Accounting, and Financial Statement Presentation
The government-wide financial statements use the economic resources measurement focus and the accrual
basis of accounting, as do the proprietary fund and trust fund financial statements. Revenues are recorded
when earned and expenses are recorded when a liability is incurred, regardless of the timing of the 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.
Governmental fund financial statements use the current financial resources measurement focus and the
modified accrual basis of accounting. With this measurement focus, only current assets, current liabilities
and fund balances are included on the balance sheet. Operating statements of these funds present net
increases and decreases in current assets (i.e., revenues and other financing sources, and expenditures and
other financing uses).
The modified accrual basis of accounting recognizes revenues in the accounting period in which they
become both measurable and available. It recognizes expenditures in the accounting period in which the
fund liability is incurred, if measurable, except for unmatured interest and principal on long-term debt,
which is recognized when due. The expenditures related to certain compensated absences and claims and
judgments are recognized when the obligations are expected to be liquidated with expendable available
financial resources. The District considers all revenues available if they are collectible within sixty days
after year-end.
Revenues from local sources consist primarily of property taxes. Property tax revenues and revenues
received from the state are recognized under the susceptible-to-accrual concept. Miscellaneous revenues
are recorded as revenue when received in cash because they are generally not measurable until actually
received. Investment earnings are recorded as earned, since they are both measurable and available.
Grant revenues are considered to be earned to the extent of expenditures made under the provisions of the
grant. Accordingly, when such funds are received, they are recorded as deferred revenues until related
and authorized expenditures have been made. If balances have not been expended by the end of the
project period, grantors sometimes require the District to refund all or part of the unused amount.
The Proprietary Fund Types and Trust Funds are accounted for on a flow of economic resources
measurement focus and utilize the accrual basis of accounting. This basis of accounting recognizes
revenues in the accounting period in which they are earned and become measurable and expenses in the
accounting period in which they are incurred and become measurable. The District applies all GASB
pronouncements as well as the Financial Accounting Standards Board pronouncements issued on or
before November 30, 1989, unless these pronouncements conflict or contradict GASB pronouncements.
With this measurement focus, all assets and all liabilities associated with the operation of these funds are
included on the fund Statement of Net Assets. The fund equity is segregated into invested in capital
assets net of related debt, restricted net assets, and unrestricted net assets.
When both restricted and unrestricted resources are available for use, it is the Districts policy to use
restricted resources first when appropriate, and then unrestricted resources as they are needed.

Note 1 - Summary of Significant Accounting Policies (continued)


D. Fund Accounting
The accounts of the District are organized on the basis of funds in accordance with the provisions of the
Resource Guide. Each fund is considered to be a separate accounting entity. The operations of each fund
are accounted for by providing a separate set of self-balancing accounts, which comprise its assets,
liabilities, fund equity, revenues, and expenditures or expenses. For financial statement presentation, the
Districts fund financial statements provide more detailed information about the District's funds-not the
District as a whole. All of the Districts governmental and enterprise funds are considered major funds in
accordance with generally accepted financial reporting criteria.
Governmental Funds:
General Fund
The General Fund is the governments primary operating fund. It is used to account for all
financial transactions not properly includable in other funds. The principal sources of revenues
include local property taxes, state funding under the Foundation School Program, interest
earnings on fund investments, and federal source revenues for indirect costs reimbursed by the
programs accounted for in the Special Revenue Fund. Expenditures include all costs associated
with the daily operations of the District, except for specific programs funded by the federal or
state government, food service, debt service and capital projects.
Special Revenue Fund
The Special Revenue Fund is used to account for all financial resources restricted to, or
designated for, specific purposes by a grantor. Specifically, this type of fund is used to account
for the Districts Food Service program, including local and federal revenue sources, for federally
financed programs (grants) where unused balances are returned to the grantor at the close of
specified project periods and other revenue specific programs. Project accounting is employed to
maintain integrity for the various sources of revenues. Resources accounted for in these
programs are awarded to the District for the purpose of accomplishing specific educational tasks
as defined by grantors in contracts or other agreements.
Debt Service Fund
The Debt Service Fund is used to account for the payment of interest and principal on all bonds
of the District. The primary sources of revenue for debt service are local property taxes.
Capital Projects Fund
The Capital Projects Fund is used to account for the expenditures of resources accumulated from
sales of bonds and related interest earnings for the renovation, acquisition and construction of
school facilities.

Note 1 - Summary of Significant Accounting Policies (continued)


D. Fund Accounting (continued)
Proprietary Funds:
Proprietary funds distinguish operating revenues and expenses from nonoperating items.
Operating revenues and expenses generally result from providing services and producing and
delivering goods in connection with a proprietary funds principal ongoing operations.
Enterprise Fund
The Enterprise fund is used to account for revenues and expenses related to the Districts
tuition/fee-based self-sustaining programs such as Employee Child Care, Adult Education and
Drivers Education. The District accounts for revenues and expenses related to services provided
to parties inside the District. Revenues are received based on fees charged for services. Expenses
include payments to employees and charges incurred in administering the programs.
Internal Service Fund
The districts internal service fund is used to account for the operations of the Districts partially
self-funded workers compensation plan, which is supported by employer contributions.
Expenses include plan benefit payments to employees and charges incurred in administering the
plan.
Fiduciary funds:
Private Purpose Trust Funds
Funds set up for handling specific scholarship money received by the District.
Agency Funds
The Agency Funds are used to account for activities of student groups. These funds have no
equity; assets are equal to liabilities and do not include revenues and expenditures for general
operations of the District. The agency fund accounts for resources held in a custodial capacity by
the District, and consists of funds that are property of students and others and cannot be used by
the District in operations.
E. Other Accounting Policies - Assets, Liabilities and Net Assets or Equity
1. Cash and Cash Equivalents
The District's cash and cash equivalents are considered to be cash on hand, demand deposits,
balances in private-managed public funds investment pools (TexPool, TexSTAR and Lone Star),
and short-term investments with original maturities of three months or less from the date of
acquisition. For the purpose of the Statement of Cash Flows, the Proprietary Fund Types consider
temporary investments, with maturity of three months or less when purchased, to be cash
equivalents. For cash management purposes, the District transfers balances to either a money
market mutual or an externally pooled investment account. The cash is transferred back to the
District as needed.

Note 1 - Summary of Significant Accounting Policies (continued)


E. Other Accounting Policies - Assets, Liabilities and Net Assets or Equity (continued)
2. Investments
Investments consist largely of U.S. government agency securities, and government investment
pools. The Districts investments are carried at fair value based on quoted market prices at yearend, in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles. Investments having a
maturity of three months or less are reported as cash and cash equivalents.
3. Short-Term Interfund Receivables/Payables
During the course of operations, transactions occur between individual funds for specified
purposes. These receivables and payables are classified as due from other funds or due to
other funds on the combined fund balance sheets.
4. Inventories
Inventories consisting of supplies and materials are stated at first-in, first-out method and they
include consumable custodial, maintenance, transportation, instructional, food consumables and
office supplies. Inventories of governmental funds are recorded as expenditures when the
supplies and materials are used or consumed (consumption method) rather than when purchased.
Inventories of food commodities are recorded at fair market value supplied by the Texas
Department of Human Services on the date received. Commodity inventory are recorded at
market values supplied by the Texas Department of Human Services. Although commodities are
received at no cost, their fair market value is supplied by the State and recorded as inventory and
revenue when received in the government funds. A portion of fund balance is non-spendable to
reflect minimum inventory quantities considered necessary for the Districts continuing
operations, generally in an amount equal to inventory values on hand at the end of the year.
5. Capital Assets
Capital Assets, which include land, buildings, furniture and equipment, are reported in the
applicable governmental or business-type activities column in the government-wide financial
statements. Capital assets are defined by the District as assets with an initial individual 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. Costs of the Facilities
Acquisition and Construction function that relate to overall planning of District facilities,
managing overall District assets and overall construction projects are treated as period costs and
are not capitalized unless related to specific assets. 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 assets lives are not capitalized. Major outlays for capital assets and improvements are
capitalized as projects are constructed.
When assets are retired or otherwise disposed of, the related costs or other recorded amounts are
removed.

6. Long-Term Obligations
In the government-wide financial statements and proprietary fund types in the fund financial
statements, long-term debt and other long-term obligations are reported as liabilities in the
applicable governmental activities, business-type activities, or proprietary fund type statement of
net assets.
Bond premiums and discounts, as well as issuance costs, are deferred and amortized over the life
of the bonds using the effective interest method. Bonds payable are reported net of the applicable
bond premium or discount. Bond issuance costs are reported as deferred charges and amortized
over the term of the related debt. Accretion of interest on the Capital Appreciation Bonds is
recorded at the accreted value through the end of the fiscal year.
In the fund financial statements, governmental fund types recognize bond premiums and
discounts, as well as bond issuance costs, during the current period. The face amount of debt
issued is reported as other financing sources. Premiums received on debt issuances are reported
as other financing sources while discounts on debt issuances are reported as other financing uses.
7. Transactions Between Funds
Transactions which constitute reimbursements to a fund for expenditures or expenses initially
made from that fund, which are properly attributable to another fund, are recorded as expenditures
or expenses in the reimbursing fund and as reductions of the expenditures or expenses in the fund
that is reimbursed.
Other legally authorized transfers are treated as operating transfers and are included in the results
of operations of the governmental funds.

E. Other Accounting Policies - Assets, Liabilities and Net Assets or Equity (continued)
8. Compensated Absences - Accumulated Vacation Pay and Sick Leave
The District maintains a policy allowing employees meeting established requirements to be
compensated for unused sick leave at retirement. The estimated liability for accumulated sick
leave is reported in the government-wide statement of net assets for the portion that is not
currently payable from available financial resources at year-end and is accounted for as an
assigned fund balance in the governmental funds-general fund. Annual vacation time is granted
to full-time employees assigned to the auxiliary salary schedule in positions normally requiring
12 months of service and non-duty days are allowed for certain employees on a 223 and 230 day
work calendar. No more than 30 days may be accumulated. The liability for unused vacation and
non-duty days is only recorded in the long-term debt note, since the amount is not material to the
financial statements.
9. Fund Equity
Beginning with fiscal year 2011, Spring Branch Independent School District implemented GASB
Statement No. 54 Fund Balance Reporting and Governmental Fund Type Definitions. This
Statement provides more clearly defined fund balance categories to make the nature and extent of
the constraints placed on a governments fund balances more transparent. The following
classifications describe the relative strength of the spending constraints:
Nonspendable fund balance - amounts that are not in spendable form or are required to be
maintained intact. As such, the inventory and prepaid items have been properly classified in the
Governmental Funds Balance Sheet (Exhibit C-1).
Restricted fund balance - Amounts that can be spent only for specific purposes because of local,
state or federal laws, or externally imposed conditions by grantors or creditors.
Committed fund balance - amounts constrained to specific purposes by the District itself, using
its highest level of decision-making authority (i.e. the Board of Trustees). To be reported as
committed, amounts cannot be used for any other purposes unless the District takes the same
highest level of action to remove or change the constraint. The District establishes (and modifies
or rescinds) fund balance commitments by passage of a resolution. A fund balance commitment is
further indicated in the budget document as a commitment of the fund. The District has
committed 100 percent of Fund 461 Campus Activity Funds fund balance.
Assigned fund balance - amounts the District intends to use for a specific purpose. Assignment
can be expressed by the Districts Board of Directors finance committee. The District did have
assigned fund balance as of June 30, 2011, see Note 13 for additional details.

39

SPRING BRANCH INDEPENDENT SCHOOL DISTRICT

Exhibit F-1

NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (continued)

Note 1 - Summary of Significant Accounting Policies (continued)


E. Other Accounting Policies - Assets, Liabilities and Net Assets or Equity (continued)
9. Fund Equity (continued)
Unassigned fund balance - amounts that are available for any purpose. Positive amounts are
reported only in the general fund.
Beginning fund balances for the Districts governmental funds have been restated to reflect the
above classifications.
When an expenditure is incurred for purposes for which both restricted and unrestricted fund
balance is available, the District considers restricted funds to have been spent first. The District
has not adopted a policy stating which fund balance category is spent first when committed,
assigned or unassigned fund balances are available. By default, the District will consider amounts
to have been spent first out of committed funds, then assigned and finally unassigned funds.
The Board passed a resolution stating the District will strive to maintain an annual fund balance
in the general operating fund in which the total fund balance is 19 percent of the total operating
expenditures and the unassigned general fund balance is 15 percent, which equals two and half
months of total operating expenditures.
10. Use of Estimates
The presentation of financial statements, in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting
principles, requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported
amounts of assets and liabilities, disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the
financial statements, and the reported amounts of revenues and expenditures during the reporting
period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
11. Data Control Codes
The data control codes refer to the account code structure prescribed by TEA in the Financial
Accountability System Resource Guide. TEA requires school districts to display these codes in
the financial statements submitted to them in order to insure accuracy in building a statewide
database for policy development and funding plans.

Note 2 - Reconciliation of Government-Wide and Fund Financial Statements


A. Explanation of Certain Differences Between the Governmental Fund Balance Sheet and the
Government-Wide Statement of Net Assets
Exhibit C-2 provides the reconciliation between the fund balance for total governmental funds on the
governmental fund balance sheet and the net assets for governmental activities as reported in the
government-wide statement of net assets. One element of that reconciliation explains that capital assets
are not financial resources and are therefore not reported in governmental funds. In addition, long-term
liabilities, including bonds payable, are not due and payable in the current period and are not reported as
liabilities in the funds. Also, the property taxes receivable which is included as deferred in the fund
financial statements are adjusted based on when the tax levy was made and adjusted for uncollectible
amounts.
B. Explanation of Certain Differences Between the Governmental Fund Statement of Revenues,
Expenditures, and Changes in Fund Balances and the Government-Wide Statement of
Activities
Exhibit C-4 provides a reconciliation between the net changes in fund balance as shown on the
governmental fund statement of revenues, expenditures, and changes in fund balances and the changes in
net assets of governmental activities as reported on the government-wide statement of activities. One
element of that reconciliation explains that current year capital outlays and debt principal payments are
expenditures in the fund financial statements, but should be shown as increases in capital assets and
decreases in long-term debt in the government-wide statements. This adjustment affects both the net asset
balance and the change in net assets. The debt payments on retirement of debt are recorded as
expenditures for fund basis financial statements but are a reduction of debt in the government wide
financial statements. The capital asset additions are expenditures in the fund basis financial statements
but are capitalized in the government-wide financial statements. The fund-basis financial statements do
not include depreciation expense. The depreciation expense is a deduction to reconcile to the
Government-Wide Statement of Activities. New debt issues are treated as sources of revenue for fundbasis financial statements, but for the government-wide statements, those amounts are recorded as a
liability. Property taxes are adjusted for the accrual basis and the deferred revenues are adjusted based on
prior year levies and current year uncollectible amounts.
Note 3 - Stewardship, Compliance, and Accountability
A. Budgetary Data
The Board of Trustees adopts an annual "appropriated budget" for the General and Debt Service Funds
and the Food Service Program included in the Special Revenue Fund. Budgets are prepared using the
same method of accounting as for financial reporting. The District is required to present the adopted and
final annual amended budgeted revenues and expenditures for all funds and programs that have
appropriated budgets. The General Fund and Food Service Program budget reports appear in the
required supplementary information section where the District compares the final annual amended budget
to actual revenues and expenditures. Per TEA regulatory requirements, the Debt Service Fund is required
to be reported with the annual original budget, amended budget, and actual revenues and expenditures.
This statement is included as Other Supplementary Information at the end of the Financial Section of the
School Districts Annual Financial and Compliance Report in Exhibit G-1.

Note 3 - Stewardship, Compliance, and Accountability (continued)


A. Budgetary Data (continued)
The Capital Projects Fund budget is prepared on a project-basis based on the proceeds available from
bond issues and planned expenditures outlined in applicable bond ordinances. Capital Projects Fund
equity, which represents unexpended appropriations, is re-appropriated in the subsequent fiscal years
budget until available funds for acquisition and construction of facilities have been utilized. Each major
construction contract is approved based on the existing availability of bond proceeds and/or approved but
unissued bonds.
The following procedures are followed in establishing the budgetary data reflected in the fund financial
statements:
1. Prior to June 19th, the District prepares a budget for the next succeeding fiscal year beginning July
1st. The operating budget includes proposed expenditures and the means of financing them.
2. A meeting of the Board is then called for the purpose of adopting the proposed budget. At least
ten days public notice of the meeting must be given.
3. Prior to July 1, the budget is legally enacted through passage of a resolution by the Board. Once
a budget is approved, it can only be amended at the function and fund level by approval of a
majority of the members of the Board. During the year, amendments are presented to the Board
at its regular meetings. As required by law, such amendments are made before the fact, are
reflected in the official minutes of the Board, and are not made after fiscal year-end. Because the
District has a policy of careful budgetary control, several amendments were necessary during the
year. All supplemental appropriations must be within limits of available revenues and fund
equity.
4. Each budget is controlled by the budget director at the revenue and expenditure function/object
level. All budget appropriations lapse at year-end.
B. Encumbrances
Encumbrance accounting, under which purchase orders, contracts and other commitments are recorded in
order to reserve that portion of the applicable appropriation, is used in all governmental funds.
Encumbrances outstanding at year-end are commitments that do not constitute expenditures or liabilities.
Since under Texas law, appropriations lapse at the end of each fiscal year, outstanding encumbrances are
appropriately provided for in the subsequent fiscal years budget to provide for the liquidation of the prior
commitments.

Note 4 - Deposits (Cash) and Investments


A. Deposits (Cash)
Deposits and investment transactions of the District are regulated by State statutes through provisions of
Chapter 23, Subchapter E, Sections 23.71 through 23.8 (the School Depository Act) of the Texas
Education Code and other Code sections referenced therein and through provisions of the Texas Revised
Civil Statutes, Title 47, Articles 2529c, and 2548a regarding security for District funds in depository
institutions.
In accordance with applicable statutes, the District has a depository contract with an area bank
(depository). All depository contracts have a term of two years, commencing with the start of every oddnumbered fiscal year. Depository contracts are awarded on the basis of competitive bids received from
area banks and can be awarded to more than one bank if the bids received are relatively equal.
The District may place funds with the depository in interest and non-interest bearing accounts. Statutes
and the depository contract require that all funds in the depository institution be fully secured by federal
depository insurance or a combination of federal depository insurance and acceptable collateral securities
and/or an acceptable surety bond. The collateral securities must be delivered to the District or placed with
an independent trustee institution with safekeeping receipts delivered to the District. In accordance with
State statutes pertaining to lawful collateralization of District deposits, safekeeping receipts are issued in
the name of the depository with proper indication that the collateral securities are pledged by the
depository to secure funds of the District. The District has opted for additional protection of bank
deposits under provisions of the Frank-Dodd Act.
Acceptable collateral securities include direct obligations of the United States of America (U.S.), bonds of
any agency of the U.S. (except Farmers Home Administration Insured Notes), Bonds of the State of
Texas or of any county, school district, city, or town of the State of Texas that have been rated A or better
by Moody's Investors Service, Inc., as authorized by Chapter 2257 Collateral for Public Funds of the
Government Code.
The District must approve all collateral securities prior to the security being pledged. The depository can
change collateral securities pledged to secure District funds only upon obtaining the written approval of
the District.
All demand and time deposits in the depository bank were entirely covered by federal depository
insurance and by acceptable collateral securities held in the District's name by an agent of the District at
year-end in accordance with provisions of the depository contract.
At June 30, 2011, the carrying amount of the Districts deposits was $18,245,174 and the bank balance
was $22,540,895 . The District deposits in Bank of America were secured by $1,313,192 of pledged
collateral and $250,000 of FDIC coverage with the remaining cash balance protection under the
provisions of Frank-Dodd Act.

B. Investments
The Board of Trustees of the District has adopted a written investment policy (the Investment Policy)
regarding the investment of its funds as defined in the Public Funds Investment Act of 1995 (Chapter
2256, Texas Government Code). The Public Funds Investment Act requires an annual audit of investment
practices. Audit procedures in this area, conducted as part of the audit, disclosed that in the area of
investment practices, management reports, and establishment of appropriate policies, the District was in
substantial compliance with the requirements of the Act. Additionally, the investments and investment
practices of the District are in compliance with the Trustees' investment policies.
The Districts Investment Policy emphasizes safety of principal and liquidity, addresses investment
diversification, yield, and maturity, and addresses the quality and capability of investment personnel. The
Investment Policy includes a list of authorized investment instruments, a maximum allowable stated
maturity of any individual investment and the maximum average dollar weighted maturity allowed for
fund groups. In addition, it includes an Investment Strategy Statement that specifically addresses each
funds investment options and describes the priorities of suitability of investment type, preservation and
safety of principal, liquidity, marketability, diversification and yield.
The District is authorized to invest in the following investment instruments provided that they meet the
guidelines of the Investment Policy:
1. Obligations of the United States or its agencies and instrumentalities;
2. Direct obligations of the State of Texas, or its agencies and instrumentalities;
3. Other obligations, the principal and interest on which are unconditionally guaranteed or insured
by the State of Texas or the United States, or its agencies and instrumentalities;

6. Repurchase agreements fully collateralized (102%), pledged to and held in the Districts name,
and deposited at the time the investment is made with the District or with a third party selected
and approved by the District, with a defined termination date, and placed through a primary
government securities dealer;
7. Commercial paper having a stated maturity of 270 days or fewer and a rating of not less than A1/P-1 by two nationally recognized credit rating agencies; or a fully secured irrevocable letter of
credit from a U.S. bank and one A-1/P-1 credit rating;
8. Money Market Funds approved by the Board, with its funds only in investments approved by the
Investment Policy;
9. Public Funds Investment Pools approved by the Board, with its funds only in investments

The Districts investments are insured, registered, or the Districts agent holds the securities in the
Districts name. Therefore, the District is not exposed to custodial credit risk. Custodial Credit risk for
investments is the risk that, in event of the failure of the counterparty (e.g. broker dealer) to a transaction,
a government will not be able to recover the value of its investments or collateral securities that are in the
possession of another party. The Districts policy requires that a third party bank trust department hold all
securities owned by the District.
The District generally holds all U.S. government securities to maturity. The District did not purchase any
derivative investment products during the current year nor participate in any reverse repurchase
agreements or security lending agreements during the fiscal year 2011.

Local Government Investment Pools
As of June 30, 2011, the Districts investments included the Texas Local Pool (TexPool), Lone Star
Investment Pool (LSIP) and the Texas Short Term Asset Reserve Program (TexSTAR). The TexPool,
Lone Star and TexSTAR investment pools investments are not evidenced by securities that exist in
physical or book entry form and, accordingly, do not have custodial risk.
TexPool policies require that local government deposits be used to purchase investments authorized by
the Public Funds Investment Act of 1987, as amended. The Texas State Comptroller of Public Accounts
exercises oversight responsibility over TexPool. Federated Investors manages the daily operations of the
pool under a contract with the Comptroller.
LSIP is a Texas public investment pool sponsored by the Texas Association of School Boards (TASB) for
investment of funds by state and local government entities, primarily local school districts. The Board
has entered into an agreement with First Public, LLC (First Public), a Texas limited liability company and
a member of the National Association of Securities Dealers, Securities Investor Protection Corporation,
and Municipal Securities Rulemaking Board, pursuant to which first Public serves as administrator of
LSIPs operations. AMR Investments, Fort Worth, Texas, and Standish Mellon Asset Management,
Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, provide investment management services to LSIP regarding the investment and
reinvestment of the pools assets. The funds credit quality is excellent as its portfolio is composed of
U.S. government and U.S. agency securities. Investments in LSIP provide for investment in securities
with maturities and returns generally greater than money market instruments. LSIP is marked-to-market
daily to maintain an accurate net asset value. The Districts fair value in LSIP is the same as the value of
the pool shares. LSIP is currently rated AAAm by Standard and Poors. This rating indicates that the
pools portfolio holdings provide extremely strong protection against losses from credit default.
TexSTAR is an investment pool managed by J.P. Morgan Fleming Asset Management (USA), Inc.
(JPMFAM) and First Southwest Asset Management, Inc. (FSAM). JPMFAM provides investment
services and FSAM provides participant services and marketing. Custodial, transfer agency, fund
accounting and depository services are provided by JPMorgan Chase Bank and/or its subsidiary J.P.
Morgan Investor Services Co. TexSTAR will seek to maintain a credit rating no lower than AAA, AAAm, or the equivalent by at least one nationally recognized rating agency.
The value of District portions in TexPool, Lone Star and TexSTAR are the same as the value of the
shares. These external pooled funds operate in a manner consistent with the SECs Rule 2a7 of the
Investment Company Act of 1940. The external pooled funds use amortized cost rather than market value
to report net assets to compute share price. Accordingly, the fair value of the positions of the pooled
funds is the same as the value of the external pool shares. The funds are structured similar to a money
market mutual fund which allows shareholders the ability to deposit or withdraw funds on a daily basis.
Interest rates are also adjusted on a daily basis. Such funds seek to maintain a constant net asset value of
$1, although this cannot be fully guaranteed. TexPool, Lone Star and TexSTAR pooled funds have
weighted average maturity dates of 45, 40 and 50 days, respectively. However, the District can redeem its
share position within one day when necessary.

Investment Risk
The risk exposure for governmental and business-type activities, major funds, the internal service fund,
and fiduciary fund types of the District are not significantly greater than the deposit and investment risk
of the overall primary government. The Districts Investment Policy segregates the portfolios into
strategic categories including:
1.
2.
3.
4.

General Fund
Debt Service Fund
Capital Projects Fund
Special Revenue and Other Special-Purpose Funds

The Districts Investment Policy seeks to control credit risk. Such risk is controlled by investing in
compliance with the Districts Investment Policy, qualifying the broker and financial institutions with
whom the District will purchase investments, sufficient collateralization, portfolio diversification, and
limiting maturity.
On August 5, 2011, Standard & Poors lowered the long-term sovereign debt rating of the United States
of America from AAA to AA+. Subsequently, on August 8, 2011, Standard & Poors lowered the longterm credit ratings for the Government Sponsored Enterprises (GSEs), including Fannie Mae (FNMA),
Freddie Mac (FHLMC), Federal Farm Credit Bank (FFCB), and Federal Home Loan Bank (FHLB) from
AAA to AA+.
Interest Rate Risk
Interest rate risk is the risk that changes in interest rates may adversely affect the value of the investments.
The District monitors interest rate risk utilizing weighted average maturity analysis. In accordance with
the Investment Policy, the District reduces its exposure to declines in fair market values by limiting the
weighted average maturity of its investment portfolio to no more than 365 days, with the exception of
debt service and capital projects funds which are matched to a specific cash flow for liquidity. In
addition, the District shall not directly invest in an individual security maturing more than three years
from the date of purchase. All investments at year-end complied with the Investment Policy in regard to
maximum maturity dates and weighted average maturity limitations.

Adjustment to Investments Fair Value
The Districts portfolio value fluctuates in an inverse relationship to any change in interest rate.
Accordingly, if interest rates have risen, the portfolio value will have declined. If interest rates have
fallen, the portfolio value will have risen. Market values of U.S. Treasury Notes, U.S. Government
Agency Securities, and Commercial Paper, are based on quoted market values. The investments are
reported by the District at fair value in accordance with Governmental Accounting Standards. The
amount of increase or decrease in the fair value of investments is included in investment income. The
District recorded a $74,901 increase in the fair value of investments for the year that is included in
investment income.

Note 5 - Property Taxes


Property taxes are levied by October 1st or within 60 days of receiving a certified roll in conformity with
Subtitle E, Texas Property Tax Code. Taxes are due on receipt of the tax bill and are delinquent if not
paid before February 1st of the year following the year in which imposed. On January 1st of each year, a
tax lien attaches to property to secure the payment of all taxes, penalties, and interest ultimately imposed.
Appraised values are established by the Central Appraisal District (CAD) of Harris County, Texas. Taxes
are levied by the District's Board of Trustees based on the appraised values received from Harris County
Appraisal District. Billing and collection of tax levies are performed by the District.
Property tax rates, established in accordance with state law, are levied on real and personal property
within the District's boundaries for use in financing general government and debt service expenditures.
Tax rates levied to finance general government and debt service expenditures for the fiscal year were
$1.09 and $0.3045, respectively, based on an assessed property valuation of approximately $18.1 billion
resulting in an adjusted tax levy of approximately $238.4 million. Allowances for uncollectible taxes are
based on historical experience in collecting property taxes. Uncollectible personal property taxes are
periodically reviewed and written off, but the District is prohibited from writing off real property taxes
without specific statutory authority from the Texas Legislature.

Note 10 - Long-Term Debt and Debt Service Requirements


The District issues general obligation bonds to provide funds for the renovation, acquisition and
construction of major capital facilities. The general obligation bonds are direct obligations and pledge the
full faith and credit of the District.
General long-term debt consists of bonds payable, related accretion on premium compound interest
bonds, capital leases and compensated absences. Bonds are payable solely from future revenues of the
Debt Service Fund which consists principally of property taxes collected by the District, and investment
income. Certain outstanding bonds may be redeemed at their par value prior to their normal maturity
dates in accordance with the terms of the related bonds indentures. The District has never defaulted on
any bond principal or interest payment. Debt service requirements for accrued compensated absences are
payable from the General Fund when due. The capital lease is payable from the General and Special
Revenue Funds.
On December 7, 2010 the District issued $37,910,000 of Limited Tax Refunding Bonds, $25,000,000 of
Unlimited Tax Schoolhouse Bonds and $75,000,000 of Unlimited Tax Schoolhouse Bonds, Taxable also
as known as direct payment Build America Bonds. For the bonds issued the interest rates range from
4.00% to 5.00%. Proceeds from the sale of the Refunding Bonds will be used for refunding certain
outstanding District bonds, proceeds from the Schoolhouse Bonds will be used for (i) the construction,
acquisition and equipment of school buildings in the District, including technology upgrades, (ii) the
purchases of the necessary sites for school buildings, (iii) the purchases of new school buses, and (iv) the
payment of costs of issuance associated with the sale.
Direct payment Build America Bonds provides a direct reimbursement of 35 percent of the interest paid
on the bonds. The District received reimbursements totaling $1,280,317 during the fiscal year.

Note 11 - Refunding of General Long-Term Debt


Advance Refunding
The District issued $37,910,000 of unlimited tax refunding bonds to provide resources to purchase U.S.
Government securities that were placed in an irrevocable trust for the purpose of generating resources for
all future debt service payments of $42,700,000 of general obligation bonds. As a result, the refunded
bonds are considered to be defeased and the liability has been removed from the governmental activities
column of the statement of net assets. The reacquisition price exceeded the net carrying value of the old
debt by $2,084,081. This amount is being netted against the new debt and amortized over the remaining
life of the refunded debt, which is shorter than the life of the new debt issued. This advance refunding
was undertaken to reduce total debt service payments over the next 8 years by $5,133,752 and resulted in
an economic gain of $4,716,110.
Prior Year Refundings
In 2005 and 2007, the District defeased certain outstanding bonds by placing proceeds of new bonds in
irrevocable escrow accounts to provide for all future debt service payments on the old bonds.
Accordingly, the escrow accounts to provide for all future bonds are not included in the Districts
financial statements. At June 30, 2011, $19.1 million of previously refunded bonds outstanding are
considered defeased.

Note 16 - Retirement Plan


Plan Description
The Teacher Retirement System of Texas (TRS), a Public Employee Retirement System (PERS), is a
multiple-employer defined benefit contribution plan. TRS is a cost-sharing PERS with one exception, all
risks and costs are not shared by the employer, but are the liability of the State of Texas. By statute, the
State of Texas contributes to the retirement system an amount equal to the current authorized rate times
the aggregate annual compensation of all members of the retirement system during that fiscal year. The
payroll for District employees covered by the system for the fiscal year ending June 30, 2011, was
approximately $209.7 million; the District's total payroll was approximately $217.2 million.
For members of the retirement system entitled to the minimum salary for certain school personnel under
Section 16.056, Texas Education Code, the District pays the state's contribution on the portion of the
member's salary that exceeds the statutory minimum.
Types of Employees Covered
All employees of public, state-supported educational institutions in Texas who are employed for one-half
or more of the standard workload and who are not exempted from membership under Texas Government
Code, Title 8, Subtitle C, Section 822.002, are covered by the plan.
Benefit Provisions
The Teacher Retirement System of Texas administers retirement and disability annuities and death and
survivor benefits to employees and beneficiaries of employees of the public school system of Texas. It
operates primarily under the provisions of Texas Constitution Article XVI, Section 67 and Texas
Government Code, Title 8, Subtitle C. The system also administers proportional retirement benefits
under Texas Government Code, Title 8, Chapter 803 and 805, respectively.
Service Retirement
1. Normal: Age 65 with 5 years of service
Age 60 with 20 years of service
Age 50 with 30 years of service
Any combination of age plus years of service which equals 80
2. Reduced: Age 55 with at least 5 years of service
Any age below 50 with 30 years of service
A member is fully vested after five years of creditable service and entitled to any benefit for which
eligibility requirements have been met.
Funding Policy
State law provides a state contribution rate of 6.6440% for fiscal year 2011, 2010 and 6.58% for fiscal
years 2009. State law further provides a member contribution rate of 6.4% for fiscal years 2011, 2010
and 2009. In certain instances, the reporting district is required to make all or a portion of the states
6.644% contribution, 6.644% fiscal year 2011, for the fiscal year 2010 the rate was limited to 6.4% and
6.58% for fiscal years 2009.

SPRING BRANCH INDEPENDENT SCHOOL DISTRICT

Exhibit F-1

NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (continued)

Note 16 - Retirement Plan (continued)


Funding Policy (continued)
Contribution requirements are not actuarially determined but are legally established each biennium
pursuant to the following state funding policy: (1) The State constitution requires the legislature to
establish a member contribution rate of not less than 6% of the members annual compensation and a state
contribution rate of not less than 6% and not more than 10% of the aggregate annual compensation of all
members of the system during that fiscal year. (2) A State statute prohibits benefit improvements or
contribution reductions, if, as a result of the particular action, the time required to amortize TRSs
unfunded actuarial liabilities would be increased to a period that exceeds 31 years, or if the amortization
period exceeds 31 years, the period would be increased by such action.
Staff members of the District are required to pay 7.05% of their eligible gross earnings to TRS. Of the
7.05%, 0.65% is a contribution toward retiree health insurance. In fiscal year 2011, a district contribution
was required by the State of Texas to provide additional funds for retiree health insurance. This rate is
0.55% of eligible gross earnings. The State of Texas contributes 6.0 % for fiscal year 2011, 6.644% for
fiscal year 2010 and 6.58% for fiscal years 2009 of all employees eligible gross earnings, except for
those District staff members subject to statutory minimum requirements and those staff members being
paid from and participating in federally funded programs. State statutes establish these rates. For staff
members funded by federal programs, the federal programs are required to contribute 6.0% for 2011,
6.644% for fiscal year 2010 and 6.58% for fiscal years 2009.
Contributions for the retirement plan for the employees of the District represent 100% of the annual
pension cost. Contributions made by the State, District, and employees, and the Districts annual covered
payroll for the fiscal years 2009, 2010, and 2011, are as follows:

Note 18 - Risk Management


The District is exposed to various risks related to torts: theft of, damage to, and destruction of assets;
errors and omissions; and natural disasters. The District's risk management program encompasses various
means of protecting the District against loss by obtaining property, casualty, and liability coverage
through commercial insurance carriers, health insurance and workers compensation through commercial
carriers. Settled claims have not exceeded insurance coverage in any of the previous three fiscal years.
There has not been any significant reduction in insurance coverage from the previous year.
Health Care Coverage
The District sponsors a fully-insured insurance plan to provide health care benefits to staff members and
their dependents. Partial staff member contributions are required for personal coverage and total staff
member contributions are required for coverage of dependents.
Workers Compensation
The District established a risk management program for workers' compensation in 2007 by participating
as a member of the TASB Risk Management Fund (the Fund). The Fund was created and is operated
under the provisions of the Interlocal Cooperation Act, Chapter 791 of the Texas Government Code and
Chapter 504, Texas Labor Code. As a member of the Fund, the District is responsible for all claims costs
up to an aggregate deductible in addition to an annual contribution to the Fund. This annual contribution
is based upon actual payroll costs of the District. The Fund provides administrative service to its members
including claims administration and customer service.
The workers compensation plan is accounted for in the Workers Compensation Internal Service Fund.
The Internal Service Fund charges the General and Special Revenue Funds premiums for the Districts
contribution.
Note 19 - Compensated Absences
Sick Leave Policy
The District has established policies regarding the compensation of employees for unused sick leave upon
retirement from service. In order to be compensated for unused sick leave, an employee must have been
in the District for ten years or more and must terminate employment as a result of retirement through the
Teacher Retirement System of Texas. Compensation for unused sick leave is limited and based on the
years employed with the District, which are used to calculate the number of days and salary amounts that
will be paid upon retirement.
The District records the payments for sick leave as an expenditure in the General Fund. The District
records a liability at year-end in the General Fund for payments to be made to employees who have given
notice before the end of the fiscal year and the amounts will be paid out of current resources early in the
following fiscal year. The District had no current liability at year-end.
The District estimates the long-term portion of the sick leave liability and records this amount in the
government-wide financials as a long-term liability. The long-term liability for compensated absences
was $10,124,656 as of June 30, 2011. The management of the District has designated a portion of the
fund balance in the General Fund to pay the accrued sick leave liability.
Vacation Leave
The Districts employees earn vacation time that can be accumulated for a one-year period. Liability is
only recorded in the long-term debt note for accumulated vacation pay since the amount is not material to
the financial statements.

Note 20 - Shared Service Arrangements


The District participates in a Shared Service Arrangement (SSA) for deaf education services with eight
other school districts. Approximately 2% of the students served by the SSA are attributable to the District.
The District does not account for the revenues or expenditures for this program and does not disclose
them in these financial statements. The District neither has a joint ownership interest in fixed assets
purchased by the fiscal agent, nor does the District have a net equity interest in the fiscal agent. The fiscal
agent is neither accumulating significant financial resources nor fiscal contingencies that would give rise
to a future additional benefit or burden to Spring Branch Independent School District. The fiscal agent
manager is responsible for all financial activities of the SSA. The expenditures attributable to the
Districts participation totaled $388,064.
Note 21 - Litigation, Commitments and Contingencies
From time to time, the District is a defendant in legal proceedings relating to its operations as a school
district. In the best judgment of the District's management, the outcome of any present legal proceedings
will not have any adverse material effect on the accompanying financial statements.
The District received significant financial assistance from federal and state governmental agencies in the
form of grants. The disbursements of funds received under these programs generally requires compliance
with terms and conditions specified in the grant agreements and are subject to audit by the grantor
agencies and the TEA. Any disallowed claims resulting from such audits could become a liability of the
General Fund. However, in the opinion of management, such disallowed claims, if any, will not have a
material effect on any of the financial statements of the individual fund types included herein or on the
overall financial position of the District at year-end.
Note 22 - Arbitrage
In accordance with the provisions of Section 148(f) of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended,
bonds must satisfy certain arbitrage rebate requirements. Positive arbitrage is the excess of (1) the
amount earned on investments purchased with bond proceeds, or (2) the amount that such investments
would have earned had such investments been invested at a rate equal to the yield on the bond issue. In
order to comply with the arbitrage rebate requirements, positive arbitrage must be paid to the U.S.
Treasury at the end of each five-year anniversary date of the bond issue. The District has estimated that
there is no arbitrage liability as of June 30, 2011.
Note 23 - Juvenile Justice Alternative Education Program
The District is required by law to participate in a Juvenile Justice Alternative Education Program (JJAEP)
in coordination with the county juvenile board. A JJAEP is mandated by Chapter 37 of the Texas
Education Code to provide education for certain expelled and adjudicated youth based on standards of
academic accountability and performance as approved by the Texas Juvenile Probation Commission. The
District paid $83,160 to place students in a JJAEP in 2010-2011.

NOTES TO REQUIRED SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION

Budgets and Budgetary Accounting


Each school district in Texas is required by law to prepare annually a budget of anticipated revenues and
expenditures for the General and Debt Service Funds and the Food Service program included in the
Special Revenue Fund before the beginning of the fiscal year. For fiscal year beginning July 1st, the
Texas Education Code requires the budget to be prepared not later than June 19th and adopted by June
30th of each year. The Districts administration determines budgetary funding priorities using a modified
zero-based budgeting concept, which is consistent with GAAP. Final budget allocations are determined
by the Board, which subsequently establishes a tax rate sufficient to support the approved budget. The
annual budget, which is prepared on the modified accrual basis of accounting, must be adopted by the
Board at a scheduled meeting after giving ten days public notice of the meeting. The District annually
adopts legally authorized appropriated budgets for the General and Debt Service Funds and the Food
Service program included in the Special Revenue Fund.
The Districts administration performs budget reviews during the year in which budget requirements are
re-evaluated and revisions are recommended to the Board. The Board may approve amendments to the
budget, which are required when a change is made to any one of the functional expenditure categories or
revenue object accounts defined by the TEA. Expenditures may not legally exceed budgeted
appropriations, as amended, at the function level by fund. Unexpended appropriations lapse at year-end.
Management may amend the budget without seeking Board approval if appropriations are not transferred
between functions. During fiscal year 2011 General Fund appropriations were increased by $10.7
million, Food Service program appropriations were increased by $101,668.

Exhibit J-4
This exhibit includes budget and actual information for selected special revenue fund programs. These
budgets are either approved and controlled by the federal government, state government, TEA, or are
established by the Districts administration to assist in controlling program expenditures and to aid
management generally in oversight of these programs. These budgets are not considered Board
appropriated budgets, but are reviewed by the Board in routine monthly financial reports received by
the Districts financial administrators.
In the case of federally funded programs (federal grants), most of which are passed through to the District
by TEA, the Board accepts federal or state approved program budgets through specific agreements related
to each grant received. In the case of local programs, the Districts administration sets these budgets for
purposes of controlling the use of program revenues.
Federal grants are included in program control codes 204 through 289. State grants are included in
program control codes 392 through 429. Local programs are included in program control codes 461
though 498.
Data control codes prescribed by TEA in the Financial Accountability System Resource Guide have been
included in this exhibit to provide consistency with financial reports that the Districts financial
administrators provide routinely to the Board and management.

Independent Auditors Report on Internal Control over Financial Reporting


and on Compliance and Other Matters Based on an Audit of Financial
Statements Performed in Accordance with Government Auditing Standards
To the Board of Trustees
Spring Branch Independent School District
Houston, Texas
We have audited the financial statements of the governmental activities, the business-type activities, each
major fund, and the aggregate remaining fund information of Spring Branch Independent School District (the
District) as of and for the year ended June 30, 2011, which collectively comprise the Districts basic
financial statements and have issued our report thereon dated November 21, 2011. 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.
Internal Control over Financial Reporting
In planning and performing our audit, we considered the Districts internal control over financial reporting as
a basis for designing our auditing procedures for the purpose of expressing our opinion on the financial
statements, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the Districts internal
control over financial reporting. Accordingly, we do not express an opinion on the effectiveness of the
Districts internal control over financial reporting.
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 combination of deficiencies, in
internal control such that there is a reasonable possibility that a material misstatement of the entitys financial
statements will not be prevented, or detected and corrected on a timely basis.
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 deficiencies, significant deficiencies or material weaknesses. We did not
identify any deficiencies in internal control over financial reporting that we consider to be material
weaknesses, as defined above. However, we identified certain deficiencies in internal control over financial
reporting, described in the accompanying schedule of findings and questioned costs that we consider to be
significant deficiencies in internal control over financial reporting. The significant deficiency identified is
item #11-01. 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.

Compliance and Other Matters


As part of obtaining reasonable assurance about whether the District'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.
The Districts response to the findings identified in our audit are described in the accompanying schedule of
findings and questioned costs. We did not audit the Districts response and, accordingly, we express no
opinion on it.
This report is intended solely for the information and use of the board of trustees, management, others within
the organization, the Texas Education Agency and other applicable federal awarding agencies and passthrough entities and is not intended to be, and should not be used by anyone other than these specified
parties.

Independent Auditors Report on Compliance with Requirements That Could Have a Direct
and Material Effect on Each Major Program and on Internal Control over Compliance
in Accordance with OMB Circular A-133
To the Board of Trustees
Spring Branch Independent School District
Houston, Texas
Compliance
We have audited Spring Branch Independent School Districts (the District) compliance with the types of
compliance requirements described in the U. S. Office of Management and Budget (OMB) Circular A-133
Compliance Supplement that could have a direct and material effect on each of the Districts major federal
programs for the year ended June 30, 2011. The District's major federal programs are identified in the
summary of auditors 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 the Districts management. Our responsibility is to express an
opinion on the District's compliance based on our audit.
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 OMB Circular A-133, Audits of
States, Local 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 District'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 of the District's compliance with those requirements.
In our opinion, the District 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, 2011.
Internal Control over Compliance
Management of the District 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 performing our audit, we considered the Districts 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 Districts internal control over compliance.

Internal Control over Compliance (continued)


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 a material noncompliance with a type of compliance requirement of a federal
program will not be prevented, or detected and corrected, on a timely basis.
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 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.
Schedule of Expenditures of Federal Awards
We have audited the financial statements of the governmental activities, the business-type activities, each
major fund, and the aggregate remaining fund information of the District as of and for the year ended
June 30, 2011 and have issued our report thereon dated November 21, 2011, which contained an
unqualified opinion on those financial statements. Our audit was performed for the purpose of forming
our opinions on the financial statements as a whole. The Schedule of Expenditures of Federal Awards is
presented for purposes of additional analysis as required by OMB Circular A-133 and is not a required
part of the basic financial statements. Such information is the responsibility of management and was
derived from and relates directly to the underlying accounting and other records used to prepare the
financial statements. The information has been subjected to the auditing procedures applied in the audit of
the financial statements and certain other procedures, including comparing and reconciling such
information directly to the underlying accounting and other records used to prepare the financial
statements or to the financial statements themselves, and other additional procedures in accordance with
auditing standards generally accepted in the United States of America. In our opinion, the Schedule of
Expenditures of Federal Awards is fairly stated in all material respects in relation to the financial
statements as a whole.
This report is intended solely for the information and use of the board of trustees, management, others
within the organization, the Texas Education Agency and other applicable federal awarding agencies and
pass-through entities and is not intended to be, and should not be used by anyone other than these
specified parties.

II.

Financial Statement Findings

Finding #11-01 General Ledger Maintenance, Reconciliations, and Review


Criteria:

Internal controls should be in place to assure that balances reported in the Districts
financial statements reflect actual amounts. The purpose of key account
reconciliations is to ensure that account balances are correct and to provide an
appropriate level of accountability over major assets. Appropriate internal controls
generally include proper staffing within the organization to provide the assurances
noted above.

Condition:

Audit adjusting entries were necessary to reflect actual amounts at fiscal year-end for
capital assets, and cash and investments accounts in the student activity fund.

Effect:

Misstatements in the financial statements could occur as well as loss of assets.

Cause:

The Districts conversion of 1) decentralized activity funds to centralized activity


funds and 2) capital asset record listings, both as a part of the new financial software
financial conversion.
During the year, SBISD was without a controller position that oversees all general
ledger maintenance, reconciliations, and review procedures and processes that
accounting staff perform.

Recommendation: SBISD added a controller position in the 2010-11 year and the position was filled in
the fall of 2011, subsequent to the close out process for fiscal 2011. The position
included experience requirements and other qualification requirements to oversee
general ledger maintenance, reconciliations, and review procedures and processes.
Management should include the new controller in the development of closing
procedures and controls that minimize the risk of material misstatement in the
financial statements and potential loss of assets. These closing procedures should
include:

A description of reconciliation procedures for SBISD staff to perform on a


monthly basis for all other significant balance sheet accounts,
Designation of personnel (by position) responsible for completing procedures for
each of the accounts,
Written procedures for investigating and clearing outstanding reconciling items,
Standards for documentation of procedures expected to be performed, and
Timelines for the completion of each closing activity.

NOTES TO SCHEDULE OF EXPENDITURES OF FEDERAL AWARDS

Note 1 - Basis of Accounting


The District accounts for all awards under federal programs in the General and Special Revenue Fund in
accordance with the Texas Education Agency's Financial Accountability System Resource Guide. These
programs are accounted for using a current financial resources measurement focus. With this
measurement focus, only current assets and current liabilities generally are included on the balance sheet.
Operating statements of these funds present increases (i.e. revenues and other financing sources) and
decreases (i.e. expenditures and other financing uses) in net current assets.
The modified accrual basis of accounting is used for these funds. This basis of accounting recognizes
revenues in the accounting period in which they become susceptible to accrual, i.e., both measurable and
available, and expenditures in the accounting period in which the liability is incurred, if measurable,
except for certain compensated absences and claims and judgments, which are recognized when the
obligations are expected to be liquidated with expendable available financial resources.
Federal grant revenues are considered to be earned to the extent of expenditures made under the
provisions of the grant, and, accordingly, when such amounts are received, they are recorded as deferred
revenues until earned. Generally, unused balances are returned to the grantor at the close of specified
project periods.
Note 2 - Basis of Presentation
The accompanying schedule of expenditures of federal awards (the Schedule) includes the federal grant
activity of the District under programs of the federal government for the year ended June 30, 2011. The
information in this schedule is presented in accordance with the requirements of the Office of
Management and Budget (OMB) Circular A-133, Audits of States, Local Government, and Non-Profit
Organizations. Because the schedule presents only a selected portion of the operations of the District, it
is not intended to and does not present the financial position, changes in net assets or cash flows of the
District.
