INTRODUCTION

The purpose of this Official Statement, which includes the cover page and Appendices hereto, is to setforth certain information pertaining to the Boone County School District Finance Corporation (the "Corporation")School Building Refunding Revenue Bonds, Series 2016 (the "Bonds").

The Bonds are being issued to (i) provide funds to defease the outstanding Boone County School DistrictFinance Corporation School Building Revenue Refunding Bonds, Series 2006, dated December 1, 2006 (the "2006Bonds"), maturing August 1, 2017 and thereafter (the "Refunded Bonds"), by depositing in an escrow account anamount that, together with investment earnings derived therefrom, will be sufficient to pay the accrued interest on,and currently refund on December 21, 2016, the Refunded Bonds; and, (ii) pay the cost of the Bond issuanceexpenses (see "Plan of Refunding" herein). The Board has determined that the plan of refunding the RefundedBonds will result in considerable interest cost savings to the Boone County School District (the "District") and isin the best interest of the District.

The Bonds are revenue bonds and constitute a limited indebtedness of the Corporation. The Bonds willbe secured by a statutory mortgage lien and a pledge of the rental income derived by the Corporation from leasingthe Project to the Boone County Board of Education (the "Board") on a year to year basis (see "Security" herein).

This Official Statement should be considered in its entirety, and no one subject discussed should beconsidered more or less important than any other by reason of its location in the text. Reference should be madeto laws, reports or other documents referred to in this Official Statement for more complete information regardingtheir contents.

Copies of the Bond Resolution authorizing the issuance of the Bonds, the Participation Agreement andthe Contract, Lease and Option, dated as of December 1, 2016, may be obtained at the office of Keating Muething& Klekamp PLL, Bond Counsel, One East 4th Street, Suite 1400, Cincinnati, Ohio 45202.

BOOK-ENTRY-ONLY SYSTEM

The following information concerning DTC and DTC's book-entry system has been obtained from DTCand contains statements that are believed to describe accurately DTC, the method of effecting book-entry transfersof securities distributed through DTC and certain related matters, but neither the Corporation nor the Registrarand Paying Agent takes any responsibility for the accuracy of such statements.

The Bonds initially will be issued solely in book-entry form to be held in the book-entry-only systemmaintained by The Depository Trust Company ("DTC"), New York, New York. So long as such book-entry system

Page 6: PRELIMINARY OFFICIAL STATEMENT...2018/07/11  · Preliminary Official Statement and the information contained herein are subject to completion or amen dment. Under no circumstances

2

is used, only DTC will receive or have the right to receive physical delivery of Bonds and, except as otherwiseprovided herein with respect to tenders by Beneficial Owners of Beneficial Ownership Interests, Beneficial Ownerswill not be or be considered to be, and will not have any rights as, owners or holders of the Bonds under theResolution.

DTC will act as securities depository for the Bonds. The Bonds will be issued as fully-registered securitiesregistered in the name of Cede & Co. (DTC's partnership nominee) or such other name as may be requested byan authorized representative of DTC. One fully-registered Bond certificate will be issued for each maturity ofBonds, each in the aggregate principal amount of such maturity, and will be deposited with DTC.

DTC, the world's largest depository, is a limited-purpose trust company organized under the New YorkBanking Law, a "banking organization" within the meaning of the New York Banking Law, a member of theFederal Reserve System, a "clearing corporation" within the meaning of the New York Uniform Commercial Code,and a "clearing agency" registered pursuant to the provisions of Section 17A of the Securities Exchange Act of1934. DTC holds and provides asset servicing for over 2 million issues of U.S. and non-U.S. equity issues,corporate and municipal debt issues, and money market instruments from over 85 countries that DTC's participants("Direct Participants") deposit with DTC. DTC also facilitates the post-trade settlement among Direct Participantsof sales and other securities transactions in deposited securities, through electronic computerized book-entrytransfers and pledges between Direct Participants' accounts. This eliminates the need for physical movement ofsecurities certificates. Direct Participants include both U.S. and non-U.S. securities brokers and dealers, banks,trust companies, clearing corporations, and certain other organizations. DTC is a wholly-owned subsidiary of TheDepository Trust & Clearing Corporation ("DTCC"). DTCC, in turn, is owned by a number of Direct Participantsof DTC and Members of the National Securities Clearing Corporation, Government Securities ClearingCorporation, MBS Clearing Corporation, and Emerging Markets Clearing Corporation, (NSCC, GSCC, MBSCC,and EMCC, also subsidiaries of DTCC), as well as by the New York Stock Exchange, Inc., the American StockExchange LLC, and the National Association of Securities Dealers, Inc. Access to the DTC system is also availableto others such as both U.S. and non-U.S. securities brokers and dealers, banks, trust companies, and clearingcorporations that clear through or maintain a custodial relationship with a Direct Participant, either directly orindirectly ("Indirect Participants"). DTC has Standard & Poor's highest rating: AAA. The DTC Rules applicableto its Participants are on file with the Securities and Exchange Commission. More information about DTC can befound at www.dtcc.com.

Purchases of Bonds under the DTC system must be made by or through Direct Participants, which willreceive a credit for the Bonds on DTC's records. The ownership interest of each actual purchaser of each Bond("Beneficial Owner") is in turn to be recorded on the Direct and Indirect Participants' records. Beneficial Ownerswill not receive written confirmation from DTC of their purchase. Beneficial Owners are, however, expected toreceive written confirmations providing details of the transaction, as well as periodic statements of their holdings,from the Direct or Indirect Participant through which the Beneficial Owner entered into the transaction. Transfersof ownership interests in the Bonds are to be accomplished by entries made on the books of Direct and IndirectParticipants acting on behalf of Beneficial Owners. Beneficial Owners will not receive certificates representingtheir ownership interests in Bonds, except in the event that use of the book-entry system for the Bonds isdiscontinued.

To facilitate subsequent transfers, all Bonds deposited by Direct Participants with DTC are registered inthe name of DTC's partnership nominee, Cede & Co., or such other name as may be requested by an authorizedrepresentative of DTC. The deposit of Bonds with DTC and their registration in the name of Cede & Co. or suchother DTC nominee do not effect any change in beneficial ownership. DTC has no knowledge of the actualBeneficial Owners of the Bonds; DTC's records reflect only the identity of the Direct Participants to whoseaccounts such Bonds are credited, which may or may not be the Beneficial Owners. The Direct and IndirectParticipants will remain responsible for keeping account of their holdings on behalf of their customers.

Conveyance of notices and other communications by DTC to Direct Participants, by Direct Participantsto Indirect Participants, and by Direct Participants and Indirect Participants to Beneficial Owners will be governedby arrangements among them, subject to any statutory or regulatory requirements as may be in effect from timeto time. Beneficial Owners of Bonds may wish to take certain steps to augment the transmission to them of noticesof significant events with respect to the Bonds, such as redemptions, tenders, defaults, and proposed amendmentsto the Bond documents. For example, Beneficial Owners of Bonds may wish to ascertain that the nominee holdingthe Bonds for their benefit has agreed to obtain and transmit notices to Beneficial Owners. In the alternative,Beneficial Owners may wish to provide their names and addresses to the Registrar and Paying Agent and requestthat copies of notices be provided directly to them.

Redemption notices shall be sent to DTC. If less than all of the Bonds within a maturity are beingredeemed, DTC's practice is to determine by lot the amount of the interest of each Direct Participant in suchmaturity to be redeemed.

Neither DTC nor Cede & Co. (nor any other DTC nominee) will consent or vote with respect to the Bondsunless authorized by a Direct Participant in accordance with DTC's Procedures. Under its usual procedures, DTCmails an Omnibus Proxy to the Corporation as soon as possible after the record date. The Omnibus Proxy assignsCede & Co.'s consenting or voting rights to those Direct Participants to whose accounts Bonds are credited on therecord date (identified in a listing attached to the Omnibus Proxy).

Redemption proceeds, distributions, and interest payments on the Bonds will be made to Cede & Co., orsuch other nominee as may be requested by an authorized representative of DTC. DTC's practice is to credit DirectParticipants' accounts upon DTC's receipt of funds and corresponding detail information from the Corporation orthe Registrar and Paying Agent, on payable date in accordance with their respective holdings shown on DTC'srecords. Payments by Participants to Beneficial Owners will be governed by standing instructions and customarypractices, as is the case with securities held for the accounts of customers in bearer form or registered in "streetname" and will be the responsibility of such Participant and not of DTC or its nominee, the Registrar and PayingAgent or the Corporation, subject to any statutory or regulatory requirements as may be in effect from time to time.Payment of redemption proceeds, distributions, and interest payments to Cede & Co. (or such other nominee asmay be requested by an authorized representative of DTC) is the responsibility of the Corporation or the Registrarand Paying Agent, disbursement of such payments to Direct Participants will be the responsibility of DTC, anddisbursement of such payments to the Beneficial Owners will be the responsibility of Direct and IndirectParticipants.

DTC may discontinue providing its services as depository with respect to the Bonds at any time by givingreasonable notice to the Corporation or the Registrar and Paying Agent. Under such circumstances, in the eventthat a successor depository is not obtained, Bond certificates are required to be printed and delivered.

The Corporation may decide to discontinue use of the system of book-entry transfers through DTC (ora successor securities depository). In that event, Bond certificates will be printed and delivered.

NEITHER THE CORPORATION NOR THE REGISTRAR AND PAYING AGENT WILL HAVE ANYRESPONSIBILITY OR OBLIGATION TO ANY DIRECT PARTICIPANT, INDIRECT PARTICIPANT ORANY BENEFICIAL OWNER OR ANY OTHER PERSON NOT SHOWN ON THE REGISTRATION BOOKSOF THE REGISTRAR AND PAYING AGENT AS BEING A HOLDER WITH RESPECT TO: (1) THEBONDS; (2) THE ACCURACY OF ANY RECORDS MAINTAINED BY DTC OR ANY DIRECTPARTICIPANT OR INDIRECT PARTICIPANT; (3) THE PAYMENT BY DTC OR ANY DIRECTPARTICIPANT OR INDIRECT PARTICIPANT OF ANY AMOUNT DUE TO ANY BENEFICIAL OWNERIN RESPECT OF THE PURCHASE PRICE OF TENDERED BONDS OR THE PRINCIPAL ORREDEMPTION PRICE OF OR INTEREST ON THE BONDS; (4) THE DELIVERY BY ANY DIRECTPARTICIPANT OR INDIRECT PARTICIPANT OF ANY NOTICE TO ANY BENEFICIAL OWNER WHICHIS REQUIRED OR PERMITTED UNDER THE TERMS OF THE INDENTURE TO BE GIVEN TOHOLDERS; (5) THE SELECTION OF THE BENEFICIAL OWNERS TO RECEIVE PAYMENT IN THEEVENT OF ANY PARTIAL REDEMPTION OF THE BONDS; OR (6) ANY CONSENT GIVEN OR OTHERACTION TAKEN BY DTC AS HOLDER.

increasing or decreasing the amount awarded by up to $1,280,000;

ii) the advertisement for the public sale of the Bonds;

iii) the Official Terms and Conditions for the sale of the Bonds to the successful bidder; and

iv) the President and Secretary of the Corporation to execute certain documents relative to the

sale and delivery of the Bonds.

THE BONDS

General

The Bonds will be dated December 1, 2016, will bear interest from that date as described herein, payable

semi-annually on February 1 and August 1 of each year, commencing February 1, 2017 and will mature as to

principal on February 1, 2017 and August 1, 2017 and each August 1 thereafter in the years and in the principal

amounts as set forth on the cover page of this Official Statement.

Registration, Payment and Transfer

The Bonds are to be issued in fully-registered form (both principal and interest). U.S. Bank, National

Redemption

The Bonds are not subject to optional redemption prior to their stated maturity.

SECURITY

General

The Bonds are revenue bonds and constitute a limited indebtedness of the Corporation. The Bonds are

payable as to both principal and interest solely from the income and revenues derived from the leasing of the

Project acquired and constructed from the Bond proceeds from the Corporation to the Board.

Mortgage Lien

The Bonds are secured by a statutory mortgage lien on and a pledge of revenues derived from the Project;

provided, however, said lien and pledge shall rank on parity with the lien and pledge securing the Remaining

Bonds.

The Lease

The Board has leased the school Project securing the Bonds for an initial period from December 1, 2016

through June 30, 2017 with the option in the Board to renew said Lease from year to year for one year at a time,

at annual rentals, sufficient in each year to enable the Corporation to pay, solely from the rental due under the

Lease, the principal and interest on all of the Bonds as same become due. The Lease provides further that so long

as the Board exercises its annual renewal options, its rentals will be payable according to the terms and provisions

of the Lease until August 1, 2020, the final maturity date of the Bonds.

VERIFICATION OF MATHEMATICAL ACCURACY

AMTEC, will verify from the information provided to them the mathematical accuracy as of the date of

the closing of the Bonds of (1) the computations contained in the provided schedules to determine that the

anticipated receipts from the securities and cash deposits listed in the Financial Advisor's schedules, to be held in

the Escrow Fund (as defined under “Plan of Refunding” herein), will be sufficient to pay, when due, the principal,

interest and call premium payment requirements, if any, of the Refunded Bonds, and (2) the computations of yield

on both the securities and the Bonds contained in the provided schedules used by Bond Counsel in its

determination that the interest on the Bonds is not includable in gross income for federal income tax purposes.

AMTEC will express no opinion on the assumptions provided to them, nor as to the exemption from taxation of

the interest on the Bonds.

PLAN OF REFUNDING

A sufficient amount of the proceeds of the Bonds at the time of delivery will be deposited into a special

escrow account established for application to the redemption of the Refunded Bonds (the "Escrow Fund"). The

Escrow Fund deposit, together with investment earnings derived therefrom, is intended to be sufficient to pay the

accrued interest and refund on a current basis the Refunded Bonds on December 21, 2016. The Board has

determined that the plan of refunding the Refunded Bonds will result in considerable interest cost savings to the

District and is in the best interest of the District.

The investments purchased for the Escrow Fund shall be limited to (i) direct Obligations of or Obligations

guaranteed by the United States government, or (ii) Obligations of agencies or corporations of the United States

as permitted under KRS 66.480(1)(b) and (c) or (iii) Certificates of Deposit of FDIC banks fully collateralized by

direct Obligations of or Obligations guaranteed by the United States.

7

The Plan of Refunding the Refunded Bonds as set out in the Preliminary Official Statement is tentative

as to what amounts and maturities of the Refunded Bonds shall be refunded and will not be finalized until the sale

of the Bonds.

PURPOSE OF THE PRIOR BONDS

The Refunded Bonds were issued by the Corporation for the purpose of refinancing the Corporation's

outstanding Series 1999 Bonds, Series 2000A Bonds, and Series 2000B Bonds (the "Project").

COMMISSION'S PARTICIPATION

The Commission has determined that the Board is eligible for an average annual participation equal to

approximately $216,538 from the Commission's appropriation by the Kentucky General Assembly which will be

used to meet a portion of the debt service of the Bonds. The plan for financing the Project will require the

Commission to pay approximately fifty percent (50%) of the debt service of the Bonds.

The Participation Agreement to be entered into with the Board will be limited to the biennial budget

period of the Commonwealth of Kentucky, with the first such biennial period terminating on June 30, 2018. The

right is reserved in the Commission to terminate the commitment to pay the agreed participation every two years

thereafter. The obligation of the Commission to make payments of the agreed participation shall be automatically

renewed each two years thereafter unless the Commission gives notice to the Board of its intention not to

participate not less than sixty days prior to the end of the biennium. However, the Commission has expressed its

intention to continue to pay the agreed participation in successive biennial budget periods until the Bonds are

retired, but the Commission is not required to do so.

STATE INTERCEPT

Under the terms of the Lease, and any renewal thereof, the Board has agreed so long as the Bonds remain

outstanding, and in conformance with the intent and purpose of KRS 157.627(5) and KRS 160.160(5), in the event

of a failure by the Board to pay the rentals due under the Lease, and unless sufficient funds have been transmitted

to the Paying Agent, or will be so transmitted, for paying said rentals when due, the Board has granted under the

terms of the Lease to the Corporation the right to notify and request the Kentucky Department of Education to

withhold from the Board a sufficient portion of any undisbursed funds then held, set aside, or allocated to the

Board and to request said Department or Commissioner of Education to transfer the required amount thereof to

the Paying Agent for the payment of such rentals.

STATE SUPPORT

Support Education Excellence in Kentucky (SEEK). In determining the cost of the program to Support

Education Excellence in Kentucky (SEEK), the statewide guaranteed base funding level is computed by dividing

the amount appropriated by the prior year's statewide average daily attendance. The SEEK fund is a guaranteed

amount of money per pupil in each school district of Kentucky. The current SEEK allotment is $3,827 per pupil.

The $100 capital outlay allotment per each average daily attendance is included within the guaranteed amounts.

Each district's base funding from the SEEK program is adjusted for the number of at-risk students, the number and

types of exceptional children in the district, and cost of transporting students from and to school in the district.

Capital Outlay Allotment. The per pupil capital outlay allotment for each district from the public school

fund and from local sources shall be kept in a separate account and may be used by the district only for capital

outlay projects approved by the State Department of Education. These funds shall be used for the following capital

outlay purposes:

a. For direct payment of construction costs.

b. For debt service on voted and funding bonds.

c. For payment or lease-rental agreements under which the board will eventually acquire ownership

of the school plant.

d. For retirement of any deficit resulting from over-expenditure for capital construction, if such

deficit resulted from certain declared emergencies.

e. As a reserve fund for the above named purposes, to be carried forward in ensuing budgets.

The allotment for each school board of education in the Commonwealth for fiscal year 1978-79 was

$1,800 per classroom unit. The 1979 Session of the Kentucky General Assembly approved increases in this

allotment in 1979-80 to $1,900 per classroom unit. This rate remained unchanged in 1980-81. The 1981 Session

of the Kentucky General Assembly decreased the allotment per classroom to $1,800 and this allotment rate did

not change from the 1981-82 rate, until the 1990-91 school year. Beginning with 1990-91, the Capital Outlay

allotment for each district is based on $100 per average daily attendance.

The following table shows the computation of the capital outlay allotment for the Boone County School

If the school district has no capital outlay needs, upon approval from the State, the funds can be used for

school plant maintenance, repair, insurance on buildings, replacement of equipment, purchase of school buses and

purchase of modern technological equipment for educational purposes. If any district has a special levy for capital

outlay or debt service that is equal to the capital outlay allotment or a proportionate fraction thereof, and spends

the proceeds of the levy for eligible purposes, the State may authorize the district to use all or a proportionate

fraction of its capital outlay allotment for current expenses (school districts which use capital outlay allotments

to meet current expenses are not eligible to participate in the School Facilities Construction Commission funds).

Facilities Support Program of Kentucky. School districts may be eligible to participate in the Facilities

Support Program of Kentucky (FSPK), subject to the following requirements:

1) The district must have unmet needs as set forth and approved by the State Department of

Education in a School Facilities Plan;

2) The district must commit to establish an equivalent tax rate of at least 5 cents, in addition to the

30 cents minimum current equivalent tax rate; and,

3) The new revenues generated by the 5 cent addition, must be placed in a restricted account for

school building construction bonding.

Homestead Exemption. Section 170 of the Kentucky Constitution was amended at the General Election

held November 2, 1971, to exempt from property taxes $6,500 of value of single unit residential property of

taxpayers 65 years of age or older. The 1972 General Assembly amended KRS Chapter 132 to permit counties

and school districts to adjust their local tax revenues lost through the application of this Homestead Exemption.

The "Single Unit" qualification has been enlarged to subsequent sessions of the General Assembly to provide that

such exemption shall apply to such property maintained as the permanent resident of the owner and the dollar

amount has been construed to mean $6,500 in terms of the purchasing power of the dollar in 1972. Every two years

thereafter, if the cost of living index of the U.S. Department of Labor has changed as much as 1%, the maximum

exemption shall be adjusted accordingly. Under the cost of living formula, the maximum was increased to $36,900

effective January 1, 2015.

Limitation on Taxation. The 1979 Special Session of the Kentucky General Assembly enacted House

Bill 44 which provides that no school district may levy a general tax rate, voted general tax rate, or voted building

tax rate which would generate revenues that exceeds the previous years revenues by four percent (4%).

The 1990 Regular Session of the Kentucky General Assembly in enacting the "School Reform" legislative

package amended the provisions of KRS 160.470 which prohibited school districts from levying ad valorem

property taxes which would generate revenues in excess of 4% of the previous year's revenues without said levy

subject to recall to permit exceptions to the referendum under (1) KRS 160.470(12) [a new section of the statute]

and (2) an amended KRS 157.440.

Under KRS 160.470(12)(a) for fiscal years beginning July 1, 1990 school districts are required to levy

a "minimum equivalent tax rate" of thirty cents ($.30) for general school purposes. The equivalent tax rate is

defined as the rate which results when the income collected during the prior year from all taxes (including

occupational or utilities) levied by the district for school purposes divided by the total assessed value of property

plus the assessment for motor vehicles certified by the State Revenue Cabinet. Failure to levy the minimum

equivalent rate subjects the board of the district to removal.

The exception provided by KRS 157.440(1)(a) permits school districts to levy an equivalent tax rate as

defined in KRS 160.470(12)(a) which will produce up to 15% of those revenues guaranteed by the program to

support education excellence in Kentucky. Levies permitted by this section of the statute are not subject to public

hearing or recall provisions as set forth in KRS 160.470.

Local Thirty Cents Minimum. Effective for school years beginning after June 30, 1990, the board of

education of each school district shall levy a minimum equivalent tax rate of thirty cents ($0.30) for general school

purposes. If a board fails to comply, its members shall be subject to removal from office for willful neglect of duty.

necessary expenses of the school during the succeeding fiscal year and the estimated amount that

will be received from all sources.

ii) By September 30 of each year, after the district receives its tax assessment data from the

Department of Revenue and the State Department of Education, 3 copies of the budget are

forwarded to the State Department for approval or disapproval.

financially unsound or fails to provide for:

improvement bonds of the district or payment of rental in connection with any

outstanding school building revenue bonds issued for the benefit of the school district;

or

b) fails to comply with the law.

DISCLOSURE AGREEMENT" to the Preliminary Official Statement.

taxation by the Commonwealth of Kentucky and all of its political subdivisions.

(B) Interest on the Bonds is excludable from gross income under the Internal Revenue Code of 1986,

as amended (the "Code"). Furthermore, interest on the Bonds is not a specific item of tax preference for purposes

Independent Auditors' Report

To the Members of the Board of Education Boone County School District Florence, Kentucky

Report on the Financial Statements

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 the Boone County School District as of and for the year ended June 30, 2015, and the related notes to the financial statements, which collectively comprise the Boone County School District's basic financial statements as listed in the table of contents.

Management's Responsibility for the Financial Statements

Management is responsible for the preparation and fair presentation of these financial statements in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America; this includes the design, implementation, and maintenance of internal control relevant to the preparation and fair presentation of financial statements that are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error.

Auditors' Responsibility

Our responsibility is to express opinions on these financial statements based on our audit. We conducted our audit in accordance with auditing standards generally accepted in the United States of America and the standards applicable to financial audits contained in Government Auditing Standards, issued by the Comptroller General of the United States. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free from material misstatement.

An audit involves performing procedures to obtain audit evidence about the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. The procedures selected depend on the auditor's judgment, including the assessment of the risks of material misstatement of the financial statements, whether due to fraud or error. In making those risk assessments, the auditor considers internal control relevant to the entity's preparation and fair presentation of the financial statements in order to design audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the entity's internal control. Accordingly, we express no such opinion. An audit also includes evaluating the appropriateness of accounting policies used and the reasonableness of significant accounting estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall presentation of the financial statements.

We believe that the audit evidence we have obtained is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our audit opinions.

Opinions

In our opinion, the financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the respective financial position of the governmental activities, the business-type activities, each major fund, and the aggregate remaining fund information of the Boone County School District, as of June 30, 2015, and the respective changes in financial position and, where applicable, cash flows thereof for the year then ended in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.

Independent Auditors' Report (Continued)

As described in note 18 to the financial statements, the District adopted GASB Statement No. 68, Accounting and Financial Reporting for Pensions and GASB Statement No. 71, Pension Transition for Contributions Made Subsequent to the Measurement Date. Our opinion is not modified with respect to this item.

Required Supplementary Information

Accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America require that the management's discussion and analysis and budgetary comparison information as listed in the table of contents be presented to supplement the basic financial statements. Such infonnation, although not a part of the basic financial statements, is required by the Governmental Accounting Standards Board, who considers it to be an essential part of financial reporting for placing the basic financial statements in an appropriate operational, economic, or historical context. We have applied certain limited procedures to the required supplementary information in accordance with auditing standards generally accepted in the United states of America, which consisted of inquiries of management about the methods of preparing the information and comparing the information for consistency with management's responses to our inquiries, the basic financial statements, and other knowledge we obtained during our audit of the basic financial statements. We do not express an opinion or provide any assurance on the information because the limited procedures do not provide us with sufficient evidence to express an opinion or provide any assurance.

Other Information

Our audit was conducted for the purpose offorming opinions on the financial statements that collectively comprise the Boone County School District's basic financial statements. The management's discussion and analysis and combining and individual nonmajor fund financial statements are presented for purposes of additional analysis and are not a required part of the basic financial statements. The schedule of expenditures of federal awards is presented for purposes of additional analysis as required by U.S. Office of Management and Budget Circular A-133, Audits of States, Local Governments, and Non-Profit Organizations, and is also not a required part of the basic financial statements.

The combining and individual nonmajor fund financial statements and the schedule of expenditures of federal awards are the responsibility of management and were derived from and relate directly to the underlying accounting and other records used to prepare the basic financial statements. Such infonnation has been subjected to the auditing procedures applied in the audit of the basic financial statements and certain additional procedures, including comparing and reconciling such information directly to the underlying accounting and other records used to prepare the basic financial statements or to the basic financial statements themselves, and other additional procedures in accordance with auditing standards generally accepted in the United States of America. In our opinion, the combining and individual nonmajor fund financial statements and the schedule of expenditures of federal awards are fairly stated in all material respects in relation to the basic financial statements as a whole.

Other Reporting Required by Government Auditing Standards

In accordance with Government Auditing Standards, we have also issued our report dated November 13, 2015 on our consideration of the Boone County School District's internal control over financial reporting and on our tests of its compliance with certain provisions of laws, regulations, contracts, and grant agreements and other matters. The purpose of that report is to describe the scope of our testing of internal control over financial reporting and compliance and the results of that testing, and not to provide an opinion on internal control over financial reporting or on compliance. That report is an integral part of an audit performed in accordance with Government Auditing Standards in considering Boone County School District's internal control over financial reporting and compliance.

BOONE COUNTY SCHOOL DISTRICT

Management's Discussion and Analysis (MD&A) Year Ended June 30,2015

As management of the Boone County School District (District), we offer readers of the District's financial statement this narrative overview and analysis of the financial activities of the District for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2015. We encourage readers to consider the information presented here in conjunction with additional information found within the body of the audit.

FINANCIAL HIGHLIGHTS

Boone County Schools' student enrollment reached 20,570 students in the 2014-15 fiscal year, an increase of 292 students since the previous school year. Over the last ten years the District's membership has grown by approximately 25%. These students are housed in 23 schools including 4 high schools, 5 middle schools and 14 elementary schools. More than half of these schools exceed their student capacity level.

In the most recent years student growth has occurred at moderate levels. To accommodate the growth, the District is making plans to construct a new middle school, a new wing on the largest high school and renovate an existing elementary school. Bonds are issued as the District modifies its facilities consistent with a long-range facilities plan that is established with community input and in keeping with Kentucky Department of Education (KDE) stringent compliance regulations.

The General Fund recognized $132.9 million in revenue consisting primarily of local property, occupational license, utilities, and motor vehicle taxes and the state program (SEEK) allocation. An additional $30 million representing payments made on the District's behalf, by the State, for teachers' retirement contribution and employees' health insurance was recognized as revenue. The following shows recent trends in general fund revenues on a per pupil basis (average daily attendance). Current year's revenues show a 2.7% increase in the amount collected.

2014-2015 2013-2014 2012-2013

$7,415 $7,288 $7,094

The District administered over $10 million in Federal, State and local grants and other programs during the year.

The state's level of support (SEEK) was increased from a guaranteed base of $3,827 to $3,911 per pupil. Funding for Boone County Schools, after adjustments and local effort, was at $3,029, an increase of $133 per pupil. Per pupil funding is based on prior year average daily attendance factored with a current year growth rate. The comparative statewide average was $4,071. The SEEK allocation to Boone County Schools continues to be among the lowest in the state. The formula calculating the allocation becomes punitive for districts experiencing growth and rewards districts in economic decline. Because property values in the Boone County School District did not appreciate, funding through SEEK increased by 4.5%.

Boone County Board of Education collected $10.0 million in utility taxes and $9.6 million in occupational license taxes, indicative of a relatively stable economy in Boone County. These permissive taxes account for 12% of general fund revenues providing some relief in the funding gap created by the state's funding formula. Without permissive tax revenues, the Boone County Board of Education would face severe funding deficits, further reducing the per pupil revenues to a level lowest in the state.

BOONE COUNTY SCHOOL DISTRICT

Management's Discussion and Analysis (MD&A) Year Ended June 30,2015

(Continued)

FINANCIAL HIGHLIGHTS (Continued)

General Fund expenditures were $162 million. Salaries and related costs total $112.3 million or 69% of the general operating expenditures. Included in this amount is $30 million in retirement contributions and insurance benefits paid by the state on the District's behalf.

Boone County Schools are celebrating the results of the Kentucky Performance Rating for Educational Progress (K-PREP) released by the Kentucky Department of Education. The results show that Boone County is a distinguished district and in the top 10% of all districts in the Commonwealth.

The success the District has achieved as one of the top performing large school districts in the state is partially credited to the commitment from the city and county governments as well and the business partnerships in the form of donations and other support to our schools. The District has also made a more aggressive effort to obtain competitive grants that will allow the District to achieve and maintain the status of a premier school district.

As of the year ended June 30, 2015, the Boone County Board of Education sustained a stable financial status attributed to conservative spending practices. It is evident the Board has effectively and efficiently managed its resources and at the same time continues to make progress toward education proficiency.

Our primary financial concern continues to be state funding which has not kept up with the increases in operating expenses due to inflation, increased salaries - some of which are a direct result of mandates by the state, and an increasing portion of the retirement shortfall that we have been asked to fund. After many years of not making the necessary contributions to fully fund the Kentucky Teachers' Retirement System (KTRS), the legislature passed along a portion of the funding shortfall to employees and a larger portion to school districts. As a result, our district has paid hundreds of thousands of dollars into the retirement system over the past five years and will pay millions of dollars in the future in an effort to help stabilize the fund. For the first time this year we are also being required to record the portion of the unfunded state liability in our financial statements attributable to our employees, as determined by KTRS. While it remains to be seen if districts, including our own, will end up shouldering more of this deficit over the years to come, if the state does not start responsibly funding the system it can be safely assumed that we will. This will continue to shift more of the responsibility for funding our education system onto the backs of school districts and subsequently local tax payers. The continual erosion of state funding makes it increasingly difficult to maintain the high standard of education and programming that our students deserve without increasing taxes locally. In this climate of shrinking state support the Boone County School District will maintain fiscally responsible policies in order to continue providing quality academic, extra-curricular and community service programs to all of its students

OVERVIEW OF FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

This discussion and analysis is intended to serve as an introduction to the District's basic financial statements. The District's basic financial statements are comprised of three components: 1) district-wide financial statements; 2) fund financial statements; and 3) notes to the financial statements. This report also contains other supplementary information in addition to the basic financial statements themselves.

District-wide financial statements. The district-wide financial statements are designed to provide readers with a broad overview of the District's finances, in a manner similar to a private-sector business.

The statement of net position presents information on all of the District's assets and liabilities, with the difference between the two reported as net position. Over time, increases or decreases in net position may serve as a useful indicator of whether the financial position of the District is improving or deteriorating.

FINANCIAL HIGHLIGHTS (Continued)

District-wide financial statements (Continued).

The statement of activities presents information showing how the District's net position changed during the most recent fiscal year. All changes in net position are reported as soon as the underlying event giving rise to the change occurs, regardless of the timing of related cash flows. Thus, revenues and expenses are reported in this statement for some items that will only result in cash flows in future fiscal periods.

The district-wide financial statements outline functions of the District that are principally supported by property taxes and intergovernmental revenues (governmental activities). The governmental activities of the District include instruction, support services, operation and maintenance of plant, student transportation and operation of non-instructional services. Fixed assets and related debt is also supported by taxes and intergovernmental revenues.

The district-wide financial statements can be found on pages 8 and 9 of this report.

Fund financial statements. A fund is a grouping of related accounts that is used to maintain control over resources that have been segregated for specific activities or objectives. This is a state mandated uniform system and chart of accounts for all Kentucky public school districts utilizing the MUNIS administrative software. The District uses fund accounting to ensure and demonstrate compliance with finance-related legal requirements. All of the funds of the District can be divided into three categories: governmental funds, proprietary funds and fiduciary funds. Fiduciary funds are trust funds established by benefactors to aid in student education, welfare and teacher support. The only proprietary funds are our vending and food service operations and day care operations. All other activities of the District are included in the governmental funds.

The basic governmental fund financial statements can be found on pages 10 through 17 of this report.

Notes to the financial statements. The notes provide additional information that is essential to a full understanding of the data provided in the district-wide and fund financial statements. The notes to the financial statements can be found on pages 18 through 39 of this report.

DISTRICT-WIDE FINANCIAL ANALYSIS

Net position may serve over time as a useful indicator of a government's financial position. In the case of the District, assets and deferred revenues exceeded liabilities by $106,816,816 as of June 30,2015.

The largest portion of the District's net position reflects its investment in capital assets (i.e. land and improvements, buildings and improvements, vehicles, furniture and equipment); less any related debt used to acquire those assets that is still outstanding. The District uses these capital assets to provide services to its students; consequently, these assets are not available for future spending. Although the District's investment in its capital assets is reported net of related debt, it should be noted that the resources needed to repay this debt must be provided from other sources, since the capital assets themselves cannot be used to liquidate these liabilities.

The District's financial position is the product of several financial transactions, including the net results of activities, the acquisition and payment of debt, the acquisition and disposal of capital assets, and the depreciation of capital assets.

• The District's total revenues in the General Fund for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2015, were $166,098,264, net of inter-fund transfers and sale of assets, of $422,240 and $5,684, respectively.

• General Fund budgeted revenue compared to actual revenue varied slightly from line item to line item with the ending actual balance being $5,668,423 more than budget or approximately 3.5% of General Fund Budget. The majority of this variance is the result of the District recording "on-behalf" payments made by the state.

• General Fund actual expenditures were $162,362,715, net of inter-fund transfers of $437,705.

• General Fund actual expenditures were less than budgeted expenditures by $15,610,344.

Reconciliation of the Statement of Revenues, Expenditures and Changes in Fund Balances of Governmental Funds to the Statement of Activities

Year Ended June 30,2015

Amounts reported for go\€mmental acti'v1ties in the statement of net position are different because:

Net changes-go\€mmental funds

Go\€mmental funds report capital outlays as expenditures because they use current financial resources. Howe\€r in the statement of acti'v1ties the cost of those assets is allocated o\€r their estimated usefulli\€s and reported as depreciation expense. This is the amount by vvhich capital outlays exceed depreciation expense for the year.

Depreciation expense Capital outlays Retirement of capital assets

Bond and capital lease proceeds are reported as financing sources in go\€mmental funds and thus contribute to the change in fund balance. In the statement of net position howe\€r, issuing debt increases long-tenn liabilities and does not affect the statement ofacti'v1ties. Similarly, repayment of principal is an expenditure in the go\€rnmental funds but reduces the liability in the statement of net position.

Bond principal paid Bond proceeds Deferred outflow Tom bond refinancing Capital lease principal paid

Deferred outflow CERS contributions made after the measurement date

Generally, expenditures recognized in this fund financial statement are limited to only those that use current financial resources, but expenses are recognized in the statement of acti'v1ties when they are incurred.

Notes to the Financial Statements

NOTE 1 SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

Reporting Entity

The Boone County Board of Education (Board), a five member group, is the level of government which has oversight responsibilities over all activities related to public elementary and secondary school education within the jurisdiction of the Boone County School District (District). The District receives funding from local, state and federal government sources and must comply with the commitment requirements of these funding source entities. However, the District is not included in any other governmental "reporting entity" as defined in Section 2100, Codification of Governmental Accounting and Financial Reporting Standards. Board members are elected by the public and have decision making authority, the power to designate management, the responsibility to develop policies which may influence operations, and primary accountability for fiscal matters.

The District, for financial purposes, includes all of the funds and account groups relevant to the operation of the Boone County Board of Education. The financial statements presented herein do not include funds of groups and organizations, which although associated with the school system, have not originated within the Board itself such as Parent-Teacher Associations, etc.

The financial statements of the District include those of separately administered organizations that are controlled by or dependent on the Board. Control or dependence is determined on the basis of budget adoption, funding and appointment of the respective governing board.

Based on the foregoing criteria, the financial statements of the following organization are included in the accompanying financial statements:

Boone County School District Finance Corporation - The Board authorized the establishment of the Boone County School District Finance Corporation (a non-profit, non-stock, public and charitable corporation organized under the School Bond Act and KRS 273 and KRS 58.180) as an agency of the District for financing the costs of school building facilities. The Board Members of the Boone County Board of Education also comprise the Corporation's Board of Directors.

Basis of Presentation

District-wide Financial Statements - The statement of net position and the statement of activities display information about the District as a whole. These statements include the financial activities of the primary government, except for fiduciary funds. The statements distinguish between those activities of the District that are governmental and those that are considered business-type activities.

The district-wide statements are prepared using the economic resources measurement focus. This is the same approach used in the preparation of the proprietary fund financial statements but differs from the manner in which governmental fund financial statements are prepared. Governmental fund financial statements therefore include reconciliation with brief explanations to better identify the relationship between the district-wide statements and the statements for governmental funds.

Notes to the Financial Statement (Continued)

NOTE 1 SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (Continued)

Basis of Presentation (Continued)

The district-wide statement of activities presents a comparison between direct expenses and program revenues for each segment of the business-type activities of the District and for each function or program of the District's governmental activities. Direct expenses are those that are specifically associated with a service, program or department and are therefore clearly identifiable to a particular function. Program revenues include charges paid by the recipient of the goods or services offered by the program and grants and contributions that are restricted to meeting the operational or capital requirements of a particular program. Revenues that are not classified as program revenues are presented as general revenues of the District, with certain limited exceptions. The comparison of direct expenses with program revenues identifies the extent to which each business segment or governmental function is self-financing or draws from the general revenues of the District

Fund Financial Statements - Fund financial statements report detailed information about the District The focus of governmental and enterprise fund financial statements is on major funds rather than reporting funds by type. Each major fund is presented in a separate column. Nonmajor funds are aggregated and presented in a single column. Fiduciary funds are reported by fund type.

The accounting and reporting treatment applied to a fund is determined by its measurement focus. All governmental fund types are accounted for using a flow of current financial resources measurement focus. The financial statements for governmental funds are a balance sheet, which generally includes only current assets and current liabilities, and a statement of revenues, expenditures and changes in fund balances, which reports on the changes in total net position. Proprietary funds and fiduciary funds are reported using the economic resources measurement focus.

The District has the following funds:

(A) The General Fund is the primary operating fund of the District It accounts for financial resources used for general types of operations. This is a budgeted fund and any unrestricted fund balances are considered as resources available for use. This is a major fund of the District

(8) The Special Revenue Fund accounts for proceeds of specific revenue sources (other than expendable trusts or major capital projects) that are legally restricted to disbursements for specified purposes. It includes federal financial programs where unused balances are returned to the grantor at the close of specified project periods as well as the state grant programs. Project accounting is employed to maintain integrity for the various sources of funds. The separate projects of federally funded grant programs are identified in the schedule of expenditures of federal awards included in this report on page 63. This is a major fund of the District

NOTE 1 SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (Continued)

Basis of Accounting

The basis of accounting determines when transactions are recorded in the financial records and reported on the financial statements. District-wide financial statements are prepared using the accrual basis of accounting. Governmental funds use the modified accrual basis of accounting. Proprietary and fiduciary funds also use the accrual basis of accounting.

Revenues - Exchange and Non-exchange Transactions - Revenues resulting from exchange transactions, in which each party receives essentially equal value, is recorded on the accrual basis when the exchange takes place. On a modified accrual basis, revenues are recorded in the fiscal year in which the resources are measurable and available. Available means that the resources will be collected within the current fiscal year or are expected to be collected soon enough thereafter to be used to pay liabilities of the current fiscal year. For the District, available means expected to be received within sixty days of the fiscal year end.

Nonexchange transactions, in which the District receives value without directly giving equal value in return, include property taxes, grants, entitlements and donations. On an accrual basis, revenue from property taxes is recognized in the fiscal year for which the taxes are levied. Revenue from grants, entitlements and donations is recognized in the fiscal year in which all eligibility requirements have been satisfied. Eligibility requirements include timing requirements, which specify the year when the resources are required to be used or the fiscal year when use is first permitted, matching requirements, in which the District must provide local resources to be used for a specified purpose, and expenditure requirements, in which the resources are provided to the District on a reimbursement basis. On a modified accrual basis, revenues from nonexchange transactions must also be available before they can be recognized.

Unearned Revenue - Unearned revenue arises when assets are recognized before revenue recognition criteria have been satisfied.

Grants and entitlements received before the eligibility requirements are met are recorded as unearned revenue.

Expenses/Expenditures - On the accrual basis of accounting, expenses are recognized at the time they are incurred.

The measurement focus of governmental fund accounting is on decreases in net financial resources (expenditures) rather than expenses. Expenditures are generally recognized in the accounting period in which the related fund liability is incurred, if measurable. Allocations of cost, such as depreciation, are not recognized in governmental funds.

Taxes

Property Tax Revenues - Property taxes are levied each September on the assessed value listed as of the prior January 1, for all real and personal property in the county. The billings are considered due upon receipt by the taxpayer; however, the actual date is based on a period ending 30 days after the tax bill mailing. Property taxes collected are recorded as revenues in the fiscal year for which they were levied. All taxes collected are initially deposited into the General Fund and then transferred to the appropriate fund.

NOTE 1 SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (Continued)

Budgetary Process

Budgetary Basis of Accounting: The District's budgetary process accounts for certain transactions on a basis other than Generally Accepted Accounting Principles (GAAP) of the United States of America. The major differences between the budgetary basis and the GAAP basis are:

Revenues are recorded when received in cash (budgetary) as opposed to when susceptible to accrual (GAAP).

Expenditures are recorded when paid in cash (budgetary) as opposed to when susceptible to accrual (GAAP).

Cash and Cash Equivalents

The District considers demand deposits, money market funds, and other investments with an original maturity of 90 days or less, to be cash equivalents.

Inventories

Supplies and materials are charged to expenditures when purchased, except for inventories in the Proprietary Fund, which are capitalized at the lower of cost or market.

Capital Assets

General capital assets are those assets not specifically related to activities reported in the proprietary funds. These assets generally result from expenditures in the governmental funds. These assets are reported in the governmental activities column of the district-wide statement of net assets but are not reported in the fund financial statements. Capital assets utilized by the proprietary funds are reported both in the business-type activities column of the district-wide statement of net assets and in the respective funds.

All capital assets are capitalized at cost (or estimated historical cost) and updated for additions and retirements during the year. Donated fixed assets are recorded at their fair market values as of the date received. The District maintains a capitalization threshold of one thousand dollars, with the exception of computers, digital cameras and real property, for which there is no threshold. The District does not possess any infrastructure. Improvements are capitalized; the cost of normal maintenance and repairs that do not add to the value of the asset or materially extend an asset's life are not.

Notes to the Financial Statement (Continued)

NOTE 1 SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (Continued)

Capital Assets (Continued)

All reported capital assets are depreciated. Improvements are depreciated over the remaining useful lives of the related capital assets. Depreciation is computed using the straight-line method over the following useful lives for both general capital assets and proprietary fund assets:

Description

Buildings and improvements Land improvements Technology equipment Vehicles General equipment Food ser\ice equipment Furniture and fixtures Other

Accumulated Unpaid Sick Leave Benefits

Governmental Activities Estimated Lives

25-50 years 20 years 5 years

5-10 years 10 years

10-12 years 7 years

10 years

Upon retirement from the school system, an employee will receive from the District an amount equal to 30% of the value of accumulated sick leave. Sick leave benefits are accrued as a liability using the termination payment method. An accrual for earned sick leave is made to the extent that it is probable that the benefits will result in termination payments. The liability is based on the District's experience of making termination payments. The entire compensated absence liability is reported on the district-wide financial statements.

Interfund Balances

On fund financial statements, receivables and payables resulting from short-term interfund loans are classified as "interfund receivables/payables". These amounts are eliminated in the governmental and business-type activities columns of the statements of net assets, except for the net residual amounts due between governmental and business-type activities, which are presented as internal balances.

Accrued Liabilities and Long-Term Obligations

All payables, accrued liabilities and long-term obligations are reported in the district-wide financial statements, and all payables, accrued liabilities and long-term obligations payable from proprietary funds are reported on the proprietary fund financial statements.

In general, payables and accrued liabilities that will be paid from governmental funds are reported on the governmental fund financial statements regardless of whether they will be liquidated with current resources. However, claims and judgments, the noncurrent portion of capital leases, accumulated sick leave, contractually required pension contributions and special termination benefits that will be paid from governmental funds are reported as a liability in the fund financial statements only to the extent that they will be paid with current, expendable, available financial resources. In general, payments made within sixty days after year-end are considered to have been made with current available financial resources. Bonds and other long-term obligations that will be paid from governmental funds are not recognized as a liability in the fund financial statements until due.

Fund Balance Reserves

Beginning with fiscal year 2012 the District implemented GASB Statement 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 the District's fund balance more transparent. The following classifications describe the relative strength of the spending constraints placed on the purposes for which resources can be used:

Nonspendable fund balance - amounts that are not in a spendable form (such as inventory) or are required to be maintained intact;

Restricted fund balance - amounts constrained to specific purposes by their providers (such as grantors, bondholders and higher levels of government), through constitutional provisions, or by enabling legislation.

Committed fund balance - amounts constrained to specific purposes by the District itself, using its decision-making authority; to be reported as committed, amounts cannot be used for any other purpose unless the District takes the action to remove or change the constraint.

Assigned fund balance - amounts the District intends to use for specific purpose (such as encumbrances); intent can be expressed by the District or by an official or body to which the District delegates the authority.

Unassigned fund balance - amounts that are available for purpose; positive amounts are reported only in the General fund.

It is the Board's practice to liquidate funds when conditions have been met releasing these funds from legal, contractual, Board or managerial obligations, using restricted funds first, followed by committed funds, assigned funds, then unassigned funds.

Encumbrances are not liabilities and are not recorded as expenditures until receipt of material or service. Encumbrances remaining open at the end of the fiscal year are automatically re­budgeted in the following fiscal year. Encumbrances are considered a managerial assignment of fund balance in the governmental funds balance sheet.

Net Position

Net position represents the difference between assets and liabilities. Net position invested in capital assets, net of related debt, consists of capital assets, net of accumulated depreciation, reduced by the outstanding balances of any borrowings used for the acquisition, construction or improvement of those assets. Net position is reported as restricted when there are limitations imposed on their use either through the enabling legislation adopted by the District or through external restrictions imposed by creditors, grantors or laws or regulations of other governments.

Operating Revenues and Expenses

Operating revenues are those revenues that are generated directly from the primary activity of the proprietary funds. For the District, those revenues are primarily charges for meals provided by the various schools.

BOONE COUNTY SCHOOL DISTRICT

Notes to the Financial Statement (Continued)

NOTE 1 SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (Continued)

Interfund Activity

Exchange transactions between funds are reported as revenues in the seller funds and as expenditures/expenses in the purchaser funds. Flows of cash or goods from one fund to another without a requirement for repayment are reported as interfund transfers. Interfund transfers are reported as other financing sources/uses in governmental funds and as non-operating revenues/expenses in proprietary funds. Repayments from funds responsible for particular expenditures/expenses to the funds that initially paid for them are not presented on the financial statements.

Pensions

For purposes of measuring the net pension liability, deferred outflows of resources and deferred inflows of resources related to pensions, and pension expense, information about the fiduciary net position of the County Employees Retirement System Non-Hazardous ("CERS") and Teachers Retirement System of the State of Kentucky ("KTRS") and additions to/deductions from fiduciary net position have been determined on the same basis as they are reported by the pensions. For this purpose, benefit payments (including refunds of employee contributions) are recognized when due and payable in accordance with the benefit terms. Investments are reported at fair value.

NOTE 2 ESTIMATES

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect reported amounts of assets, liabilities, designated fund balances, and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the general purpose financial statements, and the reported amounts of revenues and expenditures during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

NOTE 3 CASH AND CASH EQUIVALENTS

The District maintains its cash in bank deposit accounts which, at times, exceed federally insured limits. The amounts exceeding the federally insured limits are covered by a collateral agreement and the collateral is held by the pledging banks' trust departments in the District's name. The District has not experienced any losses in such accounts and the District believes it is not exposed to any significant credit risk on cash and cash equivalents.

The District, through the General Fund (including utility taxes and the Support Education Excellence in Kentucky (SEEK) Capital Outlay Fund) is obligated to make lease payments in amounts sufficient to satisfy debt service requirements on bonds issued by the Kenton County Fiscal Court and the Boone County School District Finance Corporation to construct school facilities.

The District entered into "participation agreements" with the School Facility Construction Commission (Commission). The Commission was created by the Kentucky General Assembly for the purpose of assisting local school districts in meeting school construction needs. Note 17 sets forth the amount to be paid by the District and the Commission for each year until maturity of all bond issues. The liability for the total bond amount remains with the District and, as such, the total principal has been recorded in the financial statements.

All issues may be called prior to maturity and redemption premiums are specified in each issue. Assuming no bonds are called prior to scheduled maturity, the minimum obligations of the District, including amounts to be paid by the Commission, at June 30, 2015 for debt service (principal and interest) are reported in Note 17.

NOTE 8 RETIREMENT PLANS

The District's employees are provided with two pension plans, based on each position's college degree requirement. The County Employees Retirement System covers employees whose position does not require a college degree or teaching certification. The Kentucky Teachers Retirement System covers positions requiring teaching certification or otherwise requiring a college degree.

General information about the County Employees Retirement System Non-Hazardous

Plan description

Employees whose positions do not require a degree beyond a high school diploma are covered by the CERS, a cost-sharing multiple-employer defined benefit pension plan administered by the Kentucky Retirement System, an agency of the Commonwealth of Kentucky. Under the provisions of the Kentucky Revised Statute ("KRS") Section 61.645, the Board of Trustees of the Kentucky Retirement System administers CERS and has the authority to establish and amend benefit provisions. The Kentucky Retirement System issues a publicly available financial report that includes financial statements and required supplementary information for CERS. That report may be obtained from http /jkyret.ky.govl.

Benefits provided

CERS provides retirement, health insurance, death and disability benefits to Plan employees and beneficiaries. Employees are vested in the plan after five years' service. For retirement purposes, employees are grouped into three tiers, based on hire date:

Tier 1 Participation date Before Septem ber 1, 2008

Unreduced retirement 27 years serv1ce or 65 years old

Reduced retirement At least 5 years serv1ce and 55 years old

At least 25 years serv1ce and any age

Tier 2 Participation date September 1, 2008 - December 31, 2013

Unreduced retirement At least 5 years serv1ce and 65 years old

Or age 57+ and sum of serv1ce years plus age equal 87

Reduced retirement At least 10 years serv1ce and 60 years old

Tier 3 Participation date After December 31, 2013

Unreduced retirement At least 5 years serv1ce and 65 years old

Or age 57+ and sum of serv1ce years plus age equal 87

Reduced retirement Not available

Cost of living adjustments are provided at the discretion of the General Assembly. Retirement is based on a factor of the number of years' service and hire date multiplied by the average of the highest five years' earnings. Reduced benefits are based on factors of both of these components. Participating employees become eligible to receive the health insurance benefit after at least 180 months of service. Death benefits are provided for both death after retirement and death prior to retirement. Death benefits after retirement are $5,000 in lump sum. Five years' service is required for death benefits prior to retirement and the employee must have suffered a duty-related death. The decedent's beneficiary will receive the higher of the normal death benefit and $10,000 plus 25% of the decedent's monthly final rate of pay and any dependent child will receive 10% of the decedent's monthly final rate of pay up to 40% for all dependent children. Five years' service is required for nonservice-related disability benefits.

General information about the Teachers' Retirement System of the State of Kentucky

Plan description

Teaching certified employees of the District and other employees whose positions require at least a college degree are provided pensions through the Teachers' Retirement System of the State of Kentucky-a cost-sharing multiple-employer defined benefit pension plan with a special funding situation established to provide retirement annuity plan coverage for local school districts and other public educational agencies in the Commonwealth. KTRS was created by the 1938 General Assembly and is governed by Chapter 161 Section 220 through Chapter 161 Section 990 of the KRS. KTRS is a blended component unit of the Commonwealth of Kentucky and therefore is included in the Commonwealth's financial statements. KTRS issues a publicly available financial report that can be obtained at http://www.ktrs.ky.gov/05 publi cations/index. htrn

Benefits provided

For employees who have established an account in a retirement system administered by the Commonwealth prior to July 1, 2008, employees become vested when they complete five (5) years of credited service. To qualify for monthly retirement benefits, payable for life, employees must either:

1.) Attain age fifty-five (55) and complete five (5) years of Kentucky service, or 2.) Complete 27 years of Kentucky service.

Employees that retire before age 60 with less than 27 years of service receive reduced retirement benefits. Non-university employees with an account established prior to July 1, 2002 receive monthly payments equal to two (2) percent (service prior to July 1, 1983) and two and one-half (2.5) percent (service after July 1, 1983) of their final average salaries for each year of credited service. New employees (including second retirement accounts) after July 1, 2002 will receive monthly benefits equal to 2% of their final average salary for each year of service if, upon retirement, their total service less than ten years. New employees after July 1, 2002 who retire with ten or more years of total service will receive monthly benefits equal to 2.5% of their final average salary for each year of service, including the first ten years. In addition, employees who retire July 1, 2004 and later with more than 30 years of service will have their multiplier increased for all years over 30 from 2.5% to 3.0% to be used in their benefit calculation. Effective July 1, 2008, the System has been amended to change the benefit structure for employees hired on or after that date.

Contribution rates are established by Kentucky Revised Statutes. Non-university employees are required to contribute 12.105% of their salaries to the System. University employees are required to contribute 9.895% of their salaries. KRS 161.580 allows each university to reduce the contribution of its employees by 2.215%; therefore, university employees contribute 7.68% of their salary to KTRS. The contribution requirement for KTRS for the year ended June 30, 2015, was $12,476,261, which consisted of $2,117,192 from the District and $10,359,069 from the employees. Total contributions for the year ended June 30, 2014 and 2013 were $11,091,824 and $10,231,894, respectively. The contributions have been contributed in full for fiscal years 2015, 2014 and 2013.

The Commonwealth of Kentucky, as a non-employer contributing entity, pays matching contributions at the rate of 13.105% of salaries for local school district and regional cooperative employees hired before July 1, 2008 and 14.105% for those hired after July 1, 2008. For local school district and regional cooperative employees whose salaries are federally funded, the employer contributes 15.355% of salaries. If an employee leaves covered employment before accumulating five (5) years of credited service, accumulated employee pension contributions plus interest are refunded to the employee upon the member's request.

Medical Insurance Plan

Plan description

In addition to the pension benefits described above, KRS 161.675 requires KTRS to provide post­employment healthcare benefits to eligible employees and dependents. The KTRS Medical Insurance Fund is a cost-sharing multiple employer defined benefit plan. Changes made to the medical plan may be made by the KTRS Board of Trustees, the Kentucky Department of Employee Insurance and the General Assembly.

To be eligible for medical benefits, the member must have retired either for service or disability. The KTRS Medical Insurance Fund offers coverage to employees under the age of 65 through the Kentucky Employees Health Plan administered by the Kentucky Department of Employee Insurance. Once retired employees and eligible spouses attain age 65 and are Medicare eligible, coverage is obtained through the KTRS Medicare Eligible Health Plan.

NOTE 8 RETIREMENT PLANS (CONTINUED)

Funding policy

In order to fund the post-retirement healthcare benefit, six percent (6%) of the gross annual payroll of employees before July 1, 2008 is contributed. Three percent (3%) is paid by member contributions and three quarters percent (.75%) from Commonwealth appropriation and two and one quarter percent (2.25%) from the employer. Also, the premiums collected from retirees as described in the plan description and investment interest help meet the medical expenses of the plan.

Pension Liabilities, Pension Expense, and Deferred Outflows of Resources and Deferred Inflows of Resources Related to Pensions

At June 30, 2015, the District reported a liability for its proportionate share of the net pension liability for CERS. The District did not report a liability for the District's proportionate share of the net pension liability for KTRS because the Commonwealth of Kentucky provides the pension support directly to KTRS on behalf of the District. The amount recognized by the District as its proportionate share of the net pension liability, the related Commonwealth support, and the total portion of the net pension liability that was associated with the District were as follows:

District's proportionate share of the CERS net pension liability

Commonwealth's proportionate share of the KTRS net pension

liability associated vvith the District

$ 34,098,000

554,477,174

$ 588,575,174

The net pension liability for each plan was measured as of June 30, 2014, and the total pension liability used to calculate the net pension liability was determined by an actuarial valuation as of that date.

The District's proportion of the net pension liability for CERS was based on the actual liability of the employees and former employees relative to the total liability of the System as determined by the actuary. At June 30, 2014, the District's proportion was 1.050980% percent.

For the year ended June 30, 2015, the District recognized pension expense of $4,551,883 related to CERS and $27,170,510 related to KTRS. The District also recognized revenue of $27,170,510 for KTRS support provided by the Commonwealth. At June 30, 2014, the District reported deferred outflows of resources and deferred inflows of resources related to pensions from the following sources:

NOTE 8 RETIREMENT PLANS (CONTINUED)

$4,347,033 reported as deferred outflows of resources related to pensions resulting from District contributions subsequent to the measurement date will be recognized as a reduction of the net pension liability in the year ended June 30, 2016. other amounts reported as deferred outflows of resources and deferred inflows related to pensions will be recognized in pension expense as follows:

Actuarial assumptions

Year ended June 30:

2016 $761,200

2017 761,200

2018 761,200

2019 761,200

2020 761,200

The total pension liability in the June 30, 2014 actuarial valuation was determined using the following actuarial assumptions, applied to all periods included in the measurement:

CERS KTRS

Inftation 3.50% 3.50%

Projected salary increases 4.50% 4.0-8.2%

Investment rate of return, net of

investment expense and inflation 7.75% 7.50%

For CERS, Mortality rates for the period after service retirement are according to the 1983 Group Annuity Mortality Table for all retired employees and beneficiaries as of June 30, 2006 and the 1994 Group Annuity Mortality Table for all other employees. The Group Annuity Mortality Table set forward five years is used for the period after disability retirement.

For KTRS, Mortality rates were based on the RP-2000 Combined Mortality Table for Males or Females, as appropriate, with adjustments for mortality improvements based on a projection of Scale AA to 2020 with a setback of 1 year for females. The last experience study was performed in 2011 and the next experience study is scheduled to be conducted in 2016.

For CERS, the long-term expected return on plan assets is reviewed as part of the regular experience studies prepared every five years. The most recent analysis, performed for the period covering fiscal years 2005 through 2008, is outlined in a report dated August 25, 2009. Several factors are considered in evaluating the long-term rate of return assumption including long-term historical data, estimates inherent in current market data, and a log-normal distribution analysis in which best-estimate ranges of expected future real rates of return (expected return, net of investment expense and inflation) were developed by the investment consultant for each major asset class. These ranges were combined to produce the long-term expected rate of return by weighting the expected future real rates of return by the target asset allocation percentage and then adding expected inflation. The capital market assumptions developed by the investment consultant are intended for use over a 10-year horizon and may not be useful in setting the long­term rate of return for funding pension plans which covers a longer timeframe. The assumption is intended to be a long-term assumption and is not expected to change absent a significant change in the asset allocation, a change in the inflation assumption, or a fundamental change in the market that alters expected returns in future years.

NOTE 8 RETIREMENT PLANS (CONTINUED)

Actuarial assumptions (Continued)

For KTRS, the long-term expected rate of return on pension plan investments was determined using a log-normal distribution analysis in which best-estimate ranges of expected future real rates of return (expected returns, net of pension plan investment expense and inflation) are developed for each major asset class. These ranges are combined to produce the long-term expected rate of return by weighting the expected future real rates of return by the target asset allocation percentage and by adding expected inflation. The target allocation and best estimates of arithmetic real rates of return for each major asset class, as provided by KTRS's and CERS's investment consultant, are summarized in the following table:

KTRS Target KTRS Long-Term Expected CERS Target CERS Long-Term Expected

Asset Class Allocation Real Rate of Return Allocation Real Rate of Return

US equity 45% 6.40% 30% 8.45% Non-US equity 17% 6.50% 22% 8.85%

Emerging market equity 5% 10.50% Private equity 7% 1.25% Core US fixed income 10% 5.25%

Cash 2% 1.50% 1% 3.25% Total 100% 100%

Discount rate

For CERS, the discount rate used to measure the total pension liability was 7.75%. The projection of cash flows used to determine the discount rate assumed that contributions from plan employees and employers will be made at statutory contribution rates. Projected inflows from investment earnings were calculated using the long-term assumed investment return of 7.75%. The long-term investment rate of return was applied to all periods of projected benefit payments to determine the total pension liability.

For KTRS, the discount rate used to measure the total pension liability was 5.23%. The projection of cash flows used to determine the discount rate assumed that plan member contributions will be made at the current contribution rates and the employer contributions will be made at statutorily required rates. Based on those assumptions, the pension plan's fiduciary net position was projected to be available to make all projected future benefit payments of current plan employees until the 2036 plan year. Therefore, the long-term expected rate of return on pension plan investments was applied to all periods of projected benefit payments through 2035 and a municipal bond index rate of 4.35% was applied to all periods of projected benefit payments after 2035. The Single Equivalent Interest Rate (SEIR) that discounts the entire projected benefit stream to the same amount as the sum of the present values of the two separate benefit payments streams was used to determine the total pension liability.

NOTE 9 CONTINGENCIES

Grant Fund Approval The District receives funding from federal, state, and local government agencies and private contributions. These funds are to be used for designated purposes only. For government agency grants, if the grantor's review indicates that the funds have not been used for the intended purpose, the grantors may request a refund of monies advanced or refuse to reimburse the District for its disbursements. The amount of such future refunds and unreimbursed disbursements, if any, is not expected to be significant. Continuation of the District's grant programs is predicated upon the grantors' satisfaction that the funds provided are being spent as intended and the grantors' intent to continue the programs.

NOTE 10 INSURANCE AND RELATED ACTIVITIES

The District is exposed to various forms of loss of assets associated with the risks of fire, personal liability, theft, vehicular accidents, errors and omissions, fiduciary responsibility, etc. Each of these risk areas are covered through the purchase of commercial insurance. The District has purchased certain policies which are retrospectively rated, which includes workers' compensation insurance.

NOTE 11 RISK MANAGEMENT

BOONE COUNTY SCHOOL DISTRICT

Notes to the Financial Statement (Continued)

The District is exposed to various risks of loss related to torts; theft of, damage to, and destruction of assets; errors and omissions; injuries to employees; and natural disasters. To obtain insurance for errors and omissions, and general liability coverage, the District participates in the Kentucky School Boards Insurance Trust Liability Insurance Fund. These public entity risk pools operate as common risk management and insurance programs for all school districts and other tax supported educational agencies of Kentucky who are members of the Kentucky School Boards Association. The District pays an annual premium to each fund for coverage. The Liability Insurance fund pays insurance premiums of the participating members established by the insurance carrier. The Trust can terminate coverage if it is unable to obtain acceptable excess general liability coverage and for any reason by giving ninety (90) days' notice. In the event the Trust terminated coverage, any amount remaining in the Fund (after payment of operational and administrative costs and claims for which coverage was provided) would be returned to the member on a pro rata basis.

The District is self-insured for unemployment insurance benefits. The District reimburses the state for any claims paid. The District purchases workers' compensation insurance through the Kentucky School Boards Insurance Trust. In addition, the District continues to carry commercial insurance for all other risks of loss. Settled claims resulting from these risks have not exceeded commercial insurance coverage in any of the past three fiscal years.

NOTE 12 - DEFICIT OPERATING/FUND BALANCES

The District currently has no funds with a deficit fund balance. However, the following funds have operations that resulted in a current year deficit of revenues over expenditures, resulting in a corresponding reduction of fund balance:

Notes to the Financial Statement (Continued)

NOTE 18 - CHANGE IN ACCOUNTING PRINCIPLE

Effective July 1, 2014, the District was required to adopt Governmental Accounting Standards Board (GAS B) Statement no. 68, "Accounting and Financial Reporting for Pensions" (GASB 68). GASB 68 replaced the requirements of GASB 27, "Accounting for Pensions by State and Local Governmental Employers" and GASB 50, "Pension Disclosures", as they relate to governments that provide pensions through pension plans administered as trusts or similar arrangements that meet certain criteria. GASB 68 requires governments providing defined benefit pensions to recognize their long-term obligation for pension benefits as a liability to more comprehensively and comparably measure the annual costs of pension benefits. Cost-sharing governmental employers, such as the District, are required to report a net pension liability, pension expense and pension-related assets and liabilities based on their proportionate share of the collective amounts for all governments in the plan.

GASB 68 required retrospective application. Since the District only presents one year of financial information, the beginning net pension was adjusted to reflect the retrospective application. The adjustment resulted in a $33,175,133 reduction in beginning net position on the Statement of Activities and an increase of $4,347,033 of deferred outflows of resources - District contributions subsequent to the measurement date. As a result of GASB 68, the Day Care Fund has a negative net position of $30,104 as of June 30, 2015.

Changes of benefit terms: None

2005

Changes of assumption: In the 2011 valuation and later, the expectation of retired life mortality was changed to the RP-2000 Mortality Table rather than the 1994 Group Annuity Mortality Table, which was used prior to 2011. In the 2011 valuation, rates of withdrawal, retirement, disability and mortality were adjusted to more closely reflect actual experience. In the 2011 valuation, the Board adopted an interest smoothing methodology to calculate liabilities for purposes of determining the actuarially determined contributions.

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 Members of the Board of Education Boone County School District Florence, Kentucky

We have audited, in accordance with the auditing standards generally accepted in the United States of America and the standards applicable to financial audits contained in Government Auditing Standards issued by the Comptroller General of the United States, the financial statements of the governmental activities, the business-type activities, each major fund, and the aggregate remaining fund information of Boone County School District, as of and for the year ended June 30, 2015, and the related notes to the financial statements, which collectively comprise Boone County School District's basic financial statements, and have issued our report thereon dated November 13, 2015.

Internal Control Over Financial Reporting

In planning and performing our audit of the financial statements, we considered Boone County School District's internal control over financial reporting (internal control) to determine the audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances for the purpose of expressing our opinions on the financial statements, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of Boone County School District's internal control. Accordingly, we do not express an opinion on the effectiveness of Boone County School District's internal control.

A deficiency in internal control exists when the design or operation of a control does not allow management or employees, in the normal course of performing their assigned functions, to prevent, or detect and correct, misstatements on a timely basis. A material weakness is a deficiency, or a combination of deficiencies, in internal control, such that there is a reasonable possibility that a material misstatement of the entity's financial statements will not be prevented, or detected and corrected on a timely basis. A significant deficiency is a deficiency, or a combination of deficiencies, in internal control that is less severe than a material weakness, yet important enough to merit attention by those charged with governance.

Our consideration of internal control was for the limited purpose described in the first paragraph of this section and was not designed to identify all deficiencies in internal control that might be material weaknesses or, significant deficiencies. Given these limitations, during our audit we did not identify any deficiencies in internal control that we consider to be material weaknesses. However, material weaknesses may exist that have not been identified.

Compliance and Other Matters

As part of obtaining reasonable assurance about whether Boone County School District's financial statements are free from material misstatement, we performed tests of its compliance with certain provisions of laws, regulations, contracts, and grant agreements, noncompliance with which could have a direct and material effect on the determination of financial statement amounts. However, providing an opinion on compliance with those provisions was not an objective of our audit, and accordingly, we do not express such an opinion. The results of our tests disclosed no instances of noncompliance or other matters that are required to be reported under Government Auditing Standards.

We noted other matters that we reported to management of the District in a separate letter dated November 13, 2015.

Purpose of this Report

The purpose of this report is solely to describe the scope of our testing of internal control and compliance and the results of that testing, and not to provide an opinion on the effectiveness of the entity's internal control or on compliance. This report is an integral part of an audit performed in accordance with Government Auditing Standards in considering the entity's internal control and compliance. Accordingly, this communication is not suitable for any other purpose.

INDEPENDENT AUDITORS' REPORT ON COMPLIANCE FOR EACH MAJOR PROGRAM AND ON INTERNAL CONTROL OVER COMPLIANCE REQUIRED BY OMB CIRCULAR A-133

Members of the Board of Education Boone County School District Florence, Kentucky

Report on Compliance for Each Major Federal Program We have audited Boone County School District's compliance with the types of compliance requirements described in the OMB Circular A-133 Compliance Supplement that could have a direct and material effect on each of Boone County School District's major federal programs for the year ended June 30, 2015. Boone County School District's major federal programs are identified in the summary of auditor's results section of the accompanying schedule of findings and questioned costs.

Management's Responsibility

Management is responsible for compliance with the requirements of laws, regulations, contracts, and grants applicable to its federal programs.

Auditor's Responsibility

Our responsibility is to express an opinion on compliance for each of Boone County School District's major federal programs based on our audit of the types of compliance requirements referred to above. We conducted our audit of compliance in accordance with auditing standards generally accepted in the United States of America; the standards applicable to financial audits contained in Government Auditing Standards, issued by the Comptroller General of the United States; and 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 Boone County School 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 on compliance for each major federal program. However, our audit does not provide a legal determination of Boone County School District's compliance.

Opinion on Each Major Federal Program

In our opinion, Boone County School District complied, in all material respects, with the types of compliance requirements referred to above that could have a direct and material effect on each of its major federal programs for the year ended June 30, 2015.

Report on Internal Control Over Compliance

Management of Boone County School District is responsible for establishing and maintaining effective internal control over compliance with the types of compliance requirements referred to above. In planning and performing our audit of compliance, we considered Boone County School District's internal control over compliance with the types of requirements that could have a direct and material effect on each major federal program to determine the auditing procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances for the purpose of expressing an opinion on compliance for each major federal program and to test and report on internal control over compliance in accordance with 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 Boone County School District's internal control over compliance.

INDEPENDENT AUDITORS' REPORT ON COMPLIANCE FOR EACH MAJOR PROGRAM AND ON INTERNAL CONTROL OVER COMPLIANCE REQUIRED BY OMB CIRCULAR A-133

(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 material noncompliance with a type of compliance requirement of a federal program will not be prevented, or detected and corrected, on a timely basis. A significant deficiency in internal control over compliance is a deficiency, or a combination of deficiencies, in internal control over compliance with a type of compliance requirement of a federal program that is less severe than a material weakness in internal control over compliance, yet important enough to merit attention by those charged with governance.

Our consideration of internal control over compliance was for the limited purpose described in the first paragraph of this section and was not designed to identify all deficiencies in internal control over compliance that might be material weaknesses or significant deficiencies. We did not identify any deficiencies in internal control over compliance that we consider to be material weaknesses. However, material weaknesses may exist that have not been identified.

The purpose of this report on internal control over compliance is solely to describe the scope of our testing of internal control over compliance and the results of that testing based on the requirements of OMB Circular A-133. Accordingly, this report is not suitable for any other purpose.

STATE SUPPORT OF EDUCATION

The 1990 Regular Session of the General Assembly of the Commonwealth enacted a comprehensive legislativepackage known as the Kentucky Education Reform Act ("KERA") designed to comply with the mandate of the KentuckySupreme Court that the General Assembly provide for as efficient and equitable system of schools throughout theCommonwealth. KERA became fully effective on July 13, 1990. Elementary and secondary education in theCommonwealth is supervised by the Commissioner of Education, as the chief executive of the Kentucky Department ofEducation. The Commissioner is appointed by the Kentucky Board of Education, which Board consists of 11 votingmembers appointed by the Governor (seven of which members represent the Supreme Court districts and four of whichare at-large members) and one non-voting member that serves as the president of the Council on PostsecondaryEducation. Some salient features of KERA are as follows:

• KRS 157.330 establishes the fund to Support Education Excellence in Kentucky ("SEEK"), which is fundedfrom biennial appropriations from the General Assembly for distribution to school districts. The base fundingguaranteed to each school district by SEEK for operating and capital expenditures is determined in each fiscalyear by dividing the total annual SEEK appropriation by the statewide total of pupils in average daily attendance("ADA") in the preceding fiscal year; the ADA for each district is subject to adjustment to reflect the numberof at risk students (approved for free lunch programs under state and federal guidelines), number and types ofexceptional children, and transportation costs.

• KRS 157.420 establishes a formula which results in the allocation of funds for capital expenditures in schooldistricts at $100 per ADA pupil which is included in the SEEK allotment ($3,911) for the current bienniumwhich is required to be segregated into a Capital Outlay Allotment Fund which may be used only for (1) directpayment of construction costs; (2) debt service on voted and funding bonds; (3) lease rental payments in supportof bond issues; (4) reduction of deficits resulting from over-expenditures for emergency capital construction;and (5) a reserve for each of the categories enumerated in 1 through 4 above.

• KRS 160.470(9) requires that effective for fiscal years beginning July 1, 1990 each school district shall levy aminimum equivalent tax rate of $.30 for general school purposes. The equivalent tax rate is defined as the ratewhich results when the income collected during the prior year from all taxes levied by the district for schoolpurposes is divided by the total assessed value of property, plus the assessment for motor vehicles certified bythe Revenue Cabinet of the Commonwealth. Any school district board of education which fails to comply withthe minimum equivalent tax rate levy shall be subject to removal from office.

• KRS 157.440(1) provides that for fiscal years beginning July 1, 1990 each school district may levy an equivalenttax rate which will produce up to 15% of those revenues guaranteed by the SEEK program. Revenue generatedby the 15% levy is to be equalized at 150% of the statewide average per pupil assessment. Levies permitted bySection 157.440(1) are not subject to the public hearing or recall provisions set forth in KRS 160.470.

• KRS 157.440(2) permits school districts to levy up to 30% of the revenue guaranteed by the SEEK program, plusthe revenue produced by the 15% levy, but said additional tax will not be equalized with state funds and will besubject to recall by a simple majority of those voting on the question.

• KRS 157.620(1) also provides that in order to be eligible for participation from the Kentucky School FacilitiesConstruction Commission for debt service on bond issues the district must levy a tax which will producerevenues equivalent to $.05 per $100 of the total assessed value of all property in the district (including tangibleand intangible property and motor vehicles) in addition to the minimum $.30 levy required by KRS 160.470(9).A district having a special voted tax which is equal to or higher than the required $.05 tax, must commit andsegregate for capital purposes at least an amount equal to the required $.05 tax. Those districts which levy theadditional $.05 tax are also eligible for participation in the Kentucky Facilities Support ("KFS") program forwhich funds are appropriated separately from SEEK funds and are distributed to districts in accordance with aformula taking into account outstanding debt and funds available for payment from both local and state sourcesunder KRS 157.440(1)(b).

• KRS 160.460 provides that as of July 1, 1994 all real property located in the Commonwealth subject to localtaxation shall be assessed at 100% of fair cash value.

TAX EXEMPTION

Bond Counsel is of the opinion that:

(A) Interest on the Bonds is exempt from income taxation and the Bonds are exempt from ad valoremtaxation by the Commonwealth of Kentucky and all of its political subdivisions.

(B) Interest on the Bonds is excludable from gross income under the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, asamended (the "Code"). Furthermore, interest on the Bonds is not a specific item of tax preference for purposes of thefederal alternative minimum tax imposed on individuals and corporations.

The Corporation has covenanted to comply with the applicable provisions of the Code, and such compliance bythe Corporation is necessary to maintain the federal income tax status described above. No opinion is expressed regardingother federal tax consequences arising with respect to Bonds.

BOOK-ENTRY-ONLY SYSTEM

The Depository Trust Company ("DTC"), New York, NY, will act as securities depository for the Bonds. TheBonds initially will be issued as fully-registered securities registered in the name of Cede & Co. (DTC's partnershipnominee) or such other name as may be requested by an authorized representative of DTC. One fully-registered Bondcertificate will be issued for each maturity of the Bonds, each in the aggregate principal amount of such maturity, andwill be deposited with DTC.

DTC, the world's largest depository, is a limited-purpose trust company organized under the New York BankingLaw, a "banking organization" within the meaning of the New York Banking Law, a member of the Federal ReserveSystem, a "clearing corporation" within the meaning of the New York Uniform Commercial Code, and a "clearingagency" registered pursuant to the provisions of Section 17A of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934. DTC holds andprovides asset servicing for over 2 million issues of U.S. and non-U.S. equity issues, corporate and municipal debt issues,

Page 123: PRELIMINARY OFFICIAL STATEMENT...2018/07/11  · Preliminary Official Statement and the information contained herein are subject to completion or amen dment. Under no circumstances

(D-7)

and money market instruments from over 85 countries that DTC's participants ("Direct Participants") deposit with DTC.DTC also facilitates the post-trade settlement among Direct Participants of sales and other securities transactions indeposited securities, through electronic computerized book-entry transfers and pledges between Direct Participants'accounts. This eliminates the need for physical movement of securities certificates. Direct Participants include both U.S.and non-U.S. securities brokers and dealers, banks, trust companies, clearing corporations, and certain otherorganizations. DTC is a wholly-owned subsidiary of The Depository Trust & Clearing Corporation ("DTCC"). DTCC,in turn, is owned by a number of Direct Participants of DTC and Members of the National Securities ClearingCorporation, Government Securities Clearing Corporation, MBS Clearing Corporation, and Emerging Markets ClearingCorporation, (NSCC, GSCC, MBSCC, and EMCC, also subsidiaries of DTCC), as well as by the New York StockExchange, Inc., the American Stock Exchange LLC, and the National Association of Securities Dealers, Inc. Access tothe DTC system is also available to others such as both U.S. and non-U.S. securities brokers and dealers, banks, trustcompanies, and clearing corporations that clear through or maintain a custodial relationship with a Direct Participant,either directly or indirectly ("Indirect Participants"). DTC has Standard & Poor's highest rating: AAA. The DTC Rulesapplicable to its Participants are on file with the Securities and Exchange Commission. More information about DTCcan be found at www.dtcc.com.

Purchases of Bonds under the DTC system must be made by or through Direct Participants, which will receivea credit for the Bonds on DTC's records. The ownership interest of each actual purchaser of each Bond ("BeneficialOwner") is in turn to be recorded on the Direct and Indirect Participants' records. Beneficial Owners will not receivewritten confirmation from DTC of their purchase. Beneficial Owners are, however, expected to receive writtenconfirmations providing details of the transaction, as well as periodic statements of their holdings, from the Direct orIndirect Participant through which the Beneficial Owner entered into the transaction. Transfers of ownership interestsin the Bonds are to be accomplished by entries made on the books of Direct and Indirect Participants acting on behalfof Beneficial Owners. Beneficial Owners will not receive certificates representing their ownership interests in Bonds,except in the event that use of the book-entry system for the Bonds is discontinued.

To facilitate subsequent transfers, all Bonds deposited by Direct Participants with DTC are registered in the nameof DTC's partnership nominee, Cede & Co., or such other name as may be requested by an authorized representative ofDTC. The deposit of Bonds with DTC and their registration in the name of Cede & Co. or such other DTC nominee donot effect any change in beneficial ownership. DTC has no knowledge of the actual Beneficial Owners of the Bonds;DTC's records reflect only the identity of the Direct Participants to whose accounts such Bonds are credited, which mayor may not be the Beneficial Owners. The Direct and Indirect Participants will remain responsible for keeping accountof their holdings on behalf of their customers.

Conveyance of notices and other communications by DTC to Direct Participants, by Direct Participants toIndirect Participants, and by Direct Participants and Indirect Participants to Beneficial Owners will be governed byarrangements among them, subject to any statutory or regulatory requirements as may be in effect from time to time.Beneficial Owners of Bonds may wish to take certain steps to augment the transmission to them of notices of significantevents with respect to the Bonds, such as redemptions, tenders, defaults, and proposed amendments to the Bonddocuments. For example, Beneficial Owners of Bonds may wish to ascertain that the nominee holding the Bonds for theirbenefit has agreed to obtain and transmit notices to Beneficial Owners. In the alternative, Beneficial Owners may wishto provide their names and addresses to the Bond Registrar and request that copies of notices be provided directly tothem.

Redemption notices shall be sent to DTC. If less than all of the Bonds within a maturity are being redeemed,DTC's practice is to determine by lot the amount of the interest of each Direct Participant in such maturity to beredeemed.

Neither DTC nor Cede & Co. (nor any other DTC nominee) will consent or vote with respect to Bonds unlessauthorized by a Direct Participant in accordance with DTC's Procedures. Under its usual procedures, DTC mails anOmnibus Proxy to the Corporation as soon as possible after the record date. The Omnibus Proxy assigns Cede & Co.'sconsenting or voting rights to those Direct Participants to whose accounts Bonds are credited on the record date(identified in a listing attached to the Omnibus Proxy).

Redemption proceeds, distributions, and interest payments on the Bonds will be made to Cede & Co., or suchother nominee as may be requested by an authorized representative of DTC. DTC's practice is to credit DirectParticipants' accounts upon DTC's receipt of funds and corresponding detail information from the Corporation or theBond Registrar and Paying Agent, on payable date in accordance with their respective holdings shown on DTC's records.

(D-8)

Payments by Participants to Beneficial Owners will be governed by standing instructions and customary practices, as isthe case with securities held for the accounts of customers in bearer form or registered in "street name," and will be theresponsibility of such Participant and not of DTC or its nominee, the Bond Registrar and Paying Agent, or theCorporation, subject to any statutory or regulatory requirements as may be in effect from time to time. Payment ofredemption proceeds, distributions, and interest payments to Cede & Co. (or such other nominee as may be requestedby an authorized representative of DTC) is the responsibility of the Corporation or the Bond Registrar and Paying Agent,disbursement of such payments to Direct Participants will be the responsibility of DTC, and disbursement of suchpayments to the Beneficial Owners will be the responsibility of Direct and Indirect Participants.

DTC may discontinue providing its services as depository with respect to the Bonds at any time by givingreasonable notice to the Corporation or the Bond Registrar. Under such circumstances, in the event that a successordepository is not obtained, Bond certificates are required to be printed and delivered.

The Corporation may decide to discontinue use of the system of book-entry transfers through DTC (or asuccessor securities depository). In that event, Bond certificates will be printed and delivered.

The information above concerning DTC and DTC's book-entry system has been obtained from sources that theCorporation believes to be reliable, but the Corporation takes no responsibility for the accuracy thereof.
