December 11, 2014 Board of Trustees and Citizens of Grand Prairie Independent School District 2602 S. Belt Line Road Grand Prairie, TX. 75052 Dear Board of Trustees and Citizens: The Office of Business Operations is pleased to submit the Comprehensive Annual Financial Report for the Grand Prairie Independent School District for the fiscal year ended August 31, 2014. Responsibility for both the accuracy of the data presented and the completeness and fairness of the presentation including all disclosures rests with the District. In our opinion, we believe the data, as presented, is accurate in all material aspects and is presented in a manner designed to fairly set forth the financial position and results of operations of the District as measured by the financial activity of its various funds; and that all disclosures necessary to enable the reader to gain the maximum understanding of the District’s financial affairs are included in this report. The MD&A (Management Discussion and Analysis) is a narrative introduction, overview and analysis to accompany the basic financial statements. This letter of transmittal is designed to complement the MD&A and should be read in conjunction with it. The MD&A can be found immediately following the independent auditors’ report. The Statistical section includes selected financial and demographic information, generally presented on a multi-year basis. The Financial section is prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles for governments, as prescribed by the Governmental Accounting Standards Board and other professional associations. Profile of the District The mission of the Grand Prairie Independent School District is to ensure student success through engaging learning experiences, collaborative leadership, and a focus on maximizing student achievement. To achieve this mission, the District has an overarching vision statement with four goals and five “plays” that drive every decision from academics to finance. Vision Statement We are a learning community vigorously pursuing student success. GPISD Goals Maximization of Student Achievement Exercise Responsible Fiscal Oversight Develop Leadership Capacity st Promote 21 Century Learners who are College and Career Ready The 5 Plays of Grand Prairie Schools Vertically and Horizontally Aligned Curriculum 5E Model of Instruction Data-driven Decisions Relational Capacity 1

Intentional Leadership Description of the Entity Grand Prairie is the 7th largest city in the Dallas-Fort Worth metroplex and the 16th largest city in the state of Texas. Grand Prairie is conveniently located between Dallas and Fort Worth in the far western part of Dallas County. The city offers relaxation, family fun, friendly neighbors and a smart place to live and do business. More than 183,000 people live in Grand Prairie. Residents tend to be 30-something, dual-income homeowners. In Grand Prairie, families who have lived here for generations welcome newcomers who choose to move to Grand Prairie for the same reasons the natives don't leave—location and hometown atmosphere. Schools The Grand Prairie Independent School District is the largest employer in Grand Prairie with approximately 3,700 staff members. More than 2,100 of those are instructional staff. GPISD is a 58-square mile district serving approximately 28,500 students within the Dallas County portion of Grand Prairie. The District anticipates annual student growth of approximately 600 students. Through open enrollment, the District also expects to gain another 400-500 additional students annually. Facilities in GPISD range in construction dates of 1939 to as recently as 2014 (for detail information on age of buildings, refer to Table 18 in the Statistical Section). A K-12 District, the Grand Prairie ISD now boasts 40 schools, including two in-district charter schools. GPISD is an open-enrollment portfolio district featuring numerous schools of choice. In addition to the regular curriculum, the District also offers several programs of choice. ELEMENTARY SCHOOL OF CHOICE Bonham Early Education Center Global Leadership Academy at Barbara Bush Elementary David Daniels Elementary Academy of Science and Math Garner Fine Arts Academy Marshall Leadership Academy Ellen Ochoa STEM Academy at Ben Milam Elementary School School for the Highly Gifted (Charter, Grades 1-3) Whitt Fine Arts Academy Lorenzo de Zavala Environmental Science Academy SECONDARY SCHOOL OF CHOICE Young Men’s Leadership Academy at John F.

What makes our schools different is that we let parents consider their child’s strengths and interests, and then customize his or her education. The District has a diverse student population with 65.94 percent Hispanic students, 17.63 percent black students, 10.8 percent white students, 3.23 percent Asian students, 2.02 percent “two or more” ethnicities, .09 percent Hawaiian/Pacific Islander, and .28 percent American Indian/Alaskan students.

Voted into existence on July 5, 1902, the District had the distinction of acknowledging its 112-year anniversary in 2014. 3

The District has a robust Internet site that includes pages for all campuses and departments. Audiences both internal and external may access pertinent information about the District and its wide array of services at www.gpisd.org. The District also maintains a social media presence on Facebook, Twitter and the GPISD Flickr Photo Gallery at: www.facebook.com/grandprairieisd @grandprairieisd https://www.flickr.com/photos/grandprairieisd/ Education Foundation The Grand Prairie ISD Charitable Trust was originally established in 1970 to raise funds for innovative teaching grants, student scholarships, and educational equipment/program funding to help strengthen our public school system. The renamed GPISD Education Foundation has grown tremendously and today operates with an annual budget of approximately $225,000. The Foundation supports the District’s 28,000+ students and approximately 2,000 teachers through “friendraising” and fundraising. The group seeks out parents, business owners, alumni, community leaders, and Grand Prairie citizens who believe in public education and want to contribute to the success of GPISD. Through these partnerships, the group is able to support financially a wide variety of activities and initiatives that affect the lives of children. Accomplishments: $480,825 in Innovative Teaching Grants $104,434 in scholarships for college-bound students $136,600 in science field experiences for students $16,600 towards fine arts programming More detailed information about the GPISD Education Foundation can be found at http://www.gpisd.org/edfoundation. Economic Condition The information presented in the financial statements is perhaps best understood when it is considered from the broader perspective of the specific environment within which the City of Grand Prairie operates. Grand Prairie, Texas, is centrally located in the Dallas-Fort Worth-Arlington Metropolitan Statistical Area. The community stretches 26 miles long by about eight miles at its widest point. The city covers about 81 square miles (100 square miles including extraterritorial jurisdiction) and has an estimated population of 181,824 (July 2012, American Fact Finder). The city's northern border lies 5 to 10 minutes south of the Dallas/Fort Worth International Airport. The eastern boundary is 12 miles west of downtown Dallas and the western 15 miles east of Fort Worth. Passing east and west through Grand Prairie and linking the city with major markets are Interstate 30, a strong entertainment and business corridor, and Interstate 20, developing as a significant retail and corporate location. Because of its central location and proximity to air and highway transportation infrastructure, Grand Prairie also is a well-established distribution center. Much of the Great Southwest Industrial District's approximately 80-million square feet lies in Grand Prairie. Quick access to the Dallas-Fort Worth International Airport, large local markets of Dallas and Fort Worth, rail and interstate highways continue to attract new construction of warehouse, distribution and manufacturing buildings. Recent industrial, hotel and multifamily development has taken up large tracts in the north Great Southwest Industrial District, yet additional land remains there, nearby and southward. The southernmost section of the city, amid hill country-like vistas around Joe Pool Lake, is attracting high-end residential housing and plans for resort development.

Local Economy The combined 2014 property tax rate of all taxing jurisdictions in the City of Grand Prairie varies because the city's boundaries overlap with six school districts and three counties. The two predominant taxing areas in Grand Prairie are Dallas County/Grand Prairie Independent School District and Tarrant County/Arlington Independent School District. The combined local and state sales tax is 8.25 percent (6.25 percent state, 2 percent city - effective April 1, 2002). Sales tax is collected on rentals, sales, use of tangible property and services. It is not collected on grocery, prescription medicine, property consumed in manufacturing and processing. 2012 median household income in Grand Prairie was estimated to be $52,733 (ESRI). Per capita income was $22,259. Fifty-three and a half percent of the city's households have income above $50,000 (ESRI). With the completion of Lake Ridge Parkway from I-20 to Great Southwest Parkway in 2014, the major new corridor along SH 161 from the north end of town to the south becomes a complete and extremely valuable commodity. Simultaneously, the frontage roads on I-30 and I-20 are being designed, constructed or breaking ground in 2014, giving the City the opportunity to market the available and soon-to-be-available frontage road property on SH 161, I-30 and I-20. Major City Projects: The remodeled Dalworth Recreation Center is more than double the size of the old facility, which opened in the 1960s, and features open and modern space with an expanded gym, activity room, study room, meeting rooms, catering kitchen and more. Grand Prairie recently celebrated the grand opening of the city’s new Fire Station No. 1. The new station has replaced the Fire Station No. 1 on Main Street, which was built in 1949. The new 11,933-square-foot building features four-fold style apparatus bay doors, which open more quickly and will allow for faster truck exiting than the traditional garage style doors. The facility also includes sleeping quarters for up to 10 firefighters and three officers, a kitchen, dining area, laundry room, work room, day room, workshop and emergency treatment area. The voters of the City of Grand Prairie voted to use the two 1/8 cent sales taxes be combined into a ¼ cent sales tax to build a mega recreation center, library, indoor/ outdoor water park, Central Park amphitheater, trails and gigantic playground. The center will be located in west Central Park west of State Highway 161 and adjacent to the future extension of Waterwood Drive, across the lake from The Summit and Public Safety Building. With the recent addition of an in-house clinic, Prairie Paws Animal Adoption Center can perform on-site sterilization and rabies vaccination. All animals adopted from the shelter will now be sterilized and vaccinated for rabies. Planning is underway for a new Fire Station No. 10 at the intersection of South Grand Peninsula and Balboa in the Joe Pool Lake area. The four-bay station, similar in plan layout to Fire Station No. 1, will feature a tower element with a lighthouse/nautical theme. Financial Information Internal Controls – The management of the District is responsible for establishing and maintaining an internal control structure designed to ensure that the assets of the District are protected from loss, theft, and to ensure that adequate accounting data is compiled to allow for the preparation of financial statements in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles. The internal control structure is designed to provide reasonable, but not absolute, assurance that these objectives are met. The concept of reasonable assurance recognizes that: (1) the cost of a control should not exceed the benefits likely to be derived from its implementation; and (2) the valuation of cost and benefits requires estimates and judgments by management. Management believes the District’s internal controls provide reasonable assurance errors or irregularities that could be material to the financial statements would be detected within a timely period by employees in the normal course of performing their assigned functions. 5

Budgetary Controls – In addition, the District maintains budgetary controls. The objective of these budgetary controls is to ensure compliance with legal provisions embodied in the annual budget approved by the Board of Trustees. Activities in the General Fund, National School Breakfast and Lunch Program Fund, and Debt Service Fund are included in the District’s formally adopted budget. Budgets for Special Revenue Funds (other than the National School Breakfast and Lunch Program Fund) and Capital Projects Fund are prepared on a project basis, based on grant regulations or applicable bond ordinances. Budgetary control (the level at which expenditures cannot legally exceed the appropriated amount) is maintained at the fund-function level as required by the Texas Education Agency. The Business Operations Department submits requests for budget transfers from one functional category to another functional category, on a monthly basis, to the Board of Trustees for their approval. Budget changes that would increase/decrease the overall fund are submitted to the Board of Trustees for their approval as well. Independent Audit The Texas Education Code requires an annual audit of all public schools. This audit must be on an organizationwide basis and include all fund types and account groups that are the accounting responsibility of the District. The audit is performed by an independent certified public accountant firm selected by the District’s Board of Trustees. The auditor’s report has been included in this report. Organization of the District The Board of Trustees (the Board) of the Grand Prairie Independent School District (GPISD) is a seven-member body. The Board serves as the taxing authority, contracting body, policy maker, ensures that all other general compliance laws and rules applicable to the District are followed in the expenditure of the District’s funds, and approves the annual budget resolution and tax adoption. Financial Achievements GPISD passed a $222 million bond election in 2007 GPISD passed a $70 million bond election in 2011 which required no tax rate increase GPISD issued refunding bonds in 2011 providing an interest cost savings of $11,485,608 GPISD issued refunding bonds in 2013 providing an interest cost savings of $2,076,337 GPISD’s most recent bond ratings: o AAA based on the Permanent School Fund Guarantee o AA underlying credit rating affirmed by Fitch Ratings o AA- underlying credit rating affirmed by Standard & Poor’s Ratings Services GPISD has almost tripled the General fund balance in the last five years, increasing it from $19,010,054 in the 2009-2010 fiscal year to $56,213,442 in the fiscal year ending 2013-2014 – an increase of more than 195 percent Awards In 1999, the 76th Texas Legislature approved legislation requiring the commissioner of education in consultation with the comptroller of public accounts to develop a rating system for school district financial accountability. The 77th Texas Legislature in 2001 subsequently adopted rules for the implementation and administration of the financial accountability rating system known as School FIRST, Financial Integrity Rating System of Texas. The financial accountability rating system benefits the public by having a system in place to ensure that school districts will be held accountable for the quality of their financial management practices and achieve improved performance in the management of their financial resources. The Grand Prairie Independent School District has received a Superior Achievement rating in ten out of the last eleven years. The Government Finance Officers Association of the United States and Canada (GFOA) awarded a Certificate of Achievement for Excellence in Financial Reporting to Grand Prairie Independent School District for its comprehensive annual financial report for the fiscal year ended August 31, 2013. This was the first year that the government has achieved this prestigious award. In order to be awarded a Certificate of Achievement, a government must publish an easily readable and efficiently organized comprehensive annual financial report. This report must satisfy both generally accepted accounting principles and applicable legal requirements. A 6

INDEPENDENT AUDITORS’ REPORT

The Board of Trustees of Grand Prairie Independent School District 2602 S. Beltline Road Grand Prairie, Texas 75052 Report on the Financial Statements We have audited the accompanying financial statements of the governmental activities, each major fund, and the aggregate remaining fund information of Grand Prairie Independent School District (District), as of and for the year ended August 31, 2014, and the related notes to the financial statements, which collectively comprise the 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. Auditor’s Responsibility Our responsibility is to express opinions on these financial statements based on our audit. We conducted our audit in accordance with auditing standards generally accepted in the United States of America and the standards applicable to financial audits contained in Government Auditing Standards, issued by the Comptroller General of the United States. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free from material misstatement. An audit involves performing procedures to obtain audit evidence about the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. The procedures selected depend on the auditors’ judgment, including the assessments of the risk of material misstatement of the financial statements, whether due to fraud or error. In making those risk assessments, the auditor considers internal control relevant to the entity’s preparation and fair presentation of the financial statements in order to design audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the entity’s internal control. Accordingly, we express no such opinion. An audit also includes evaluating the appropriateness of accounting policies used and the reasonableness of significant accounting estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall presentation of the financial statements. We believe that the audit evidence we have obtained is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our audit opinions. Opinions In our opinion, the financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the respective financial position of the governmental activities, each major fund, and the aggregate remaining fund information of Grand Prairie Independent School District, as of August 31, 2014, and the respective changes in financial position, thereof and the respective budgetary comparison for the General Fund for the year then ended in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.

Other Matters Required Supplementary Information Accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America require that the management’s discussion and analysis, as listed in the table of contents, be presented to supplement the basic financial statements. Such information, although not a part of the basic financial statements, is required by the Governmental Accounting Standards Board, who considers it to be an essential part of financial reporting for placing the basic financial statements in an appropriate operational, economic, or historical context. We have applied certain limited procedures to the required supplementary information in accordance with auditing standards generally accepted in the United States of America, which consisted of inquiries of management about the methods of preparing the information and comparing the information for consistency with management’s responses to our inquiries, the basic financial statements, and other knowledge we obtained during our audit of the basic financial statements. We do not express an opinion or provide any assurance on the information because the limited procedures do not provide us with sufficient evidence to express an opinion or provide any assurance. Other Information Our audit was conducted for the purpose of forming opinions on the financial statements that collectively comprise Grand Prairie Independent School District’s basic financial statements. The introductory section, combining and individual fund financial statements, supplementary information, and statistical section, 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 fund financial statements, supplementary information, and the schedule of expenditures of federal awards are the responsibility of management and were derived from and relate directly to the underlying accounting and other records used to prepare the basic financial statements. Such information has been subjected to the auditing procedures applied in the audit of the basic financial statements and certain additional procedures, including comparing and reconciling such information directly to the underlying accounting and other records used to prepare the basic financial statements or to the basic financial statements themselves, and other additional procedures in accordance with auditing standards generally accepted in the United States of America. In our opinion, the combining and individual fund financial statements, supplementary information, and the schedule of expenditures of federal awards are fairly stated in all material respects in relation to the basic financial statements as a whole. The introductory and statistical sections have not been subjected to the auditing procedures applied in the audit of the basic financial statements and, accordingly, we do not express an opinion or provide any assurance on them. Other Reporting Required by Government Auditing Standards In accordance with Government Auditing Standards, we have also issued our report dated December 1, 2014, on our consideration of the Grand Prairie Independent 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 Grand Prairie Independent School District’s internal control over financial reporting and compliance. Respectfully,

Hereford, Lynch, Sellars & Kirkham, P.C. HEREFORD, LYNCH, SELLARS & KIRKHAM, P.C. Certified Public Accountants Conroe, Texas December 1, 2014

Management's Discussion and Analysis As management of the Grand Prairie Independent School District (“the District”), we offer readers of the accompanying report this narrative overview and analysis of the financial activities of the District for the fiscal year ended August 31, 2014. (In reviewing this report, readers should be mindful that it is often necessary for management to make and use estimates in the preparation of financial statements. Examples of the use of such estimates may be found in amounts reported for depreciation, net taxes receivable and claims payable of the District’s self-insured workers’ compensation program.) Financial Highlights • Governmental Activities assets and deferred outlflows of resources exceeded liabilities at year-end by $42,459,091. • The District’s total net position increased by $16,613,820 from current operations. • As of the close of the year, the District’s governmental funds had combined ending fund balances of $75,566,019, an increase of $9,023,411 as compared to the preceding year. • At the end of the year, unassigned fund balance of the general fund was $54,102,352, or 26 percent of the year’s total general fund expenditures. • The District’s total bonded debt decreased by $15,116,688 (3 percent) during the year. Overview of the 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 comprise three components: 1) government-wide financial statements, 2) fund financial statements, and 3) notes to the basic financial statements. This report also contains other supplementary information in addition to the basic financial statements. Government-wide financial statements. The government-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 enterprise. The Statement of Net Position (Exhibit A-1) presents information on all of the District’s assets, liabilities, and deferred inflows/outflows of resources, with the difference reported as net position. Over time, increases or decreases in net position may serve as an indicator of how the financial position of the District is changing. The Statement of Activities (Exhibit B-1) presents information showing how the District’s net position changed during the year. Changes in net position are reported upon occurrence of the underlying event giving rise to the change, regardless of the timing of related cash flows. Thus, revenues and expenses are reported in this statement for some transactions that will not result in cash flows until future fiscal periods (e.g., uncollected taxes and incurred but unpaid workers’ compensation benefits). The government-wide financial statements of the District are principally supported by taxes and intergovernmental revenues (governmental activities). The governmental activities of the District include Instruction, Instructional Resources and Media Services, Curriculum and Staff Development, Instructional Leadership, School Leadership, Guidance, Counseling, and Evaluation Services, Social Work Services, Health Services, Student Transportation, Food Services, Extracurricular Activities, General Administration, Plant Maintenance and Operations, Security and Monitoring Services, Data Processing Services, Community Services, Interest on Long-term Debt, Issuance Costs and Fees, Facilities Repair and Maintenance, Payments Related to Shared Services Arrangements, Payments to Juvenile Justice Alternative Education Programs, Payments to Tax Increment Fund, and Other Intergovernmental Charges. Fund financial statements. A fund is a grouping of related accounts that is used to maintain control over resources that have been segregated for specific activities or objectives. The District, as do other state and local governments, uses fund accounting to ensure and demonstrate compliance with finance-related legal requirements. All of the funds of the District can be divided into two categories: governmental funds and fiduciary funds. Governmental funds. Governmental funds are used to account for essentially the same functions reported as governmental activities in the government-wide financial statements. However, unlike the government-wide financial statements, governmental fund financial statements focus on near-term inflows and outflows of cash resources, as well as on balances of cash resources available at the end of the fiscal year. Such information may be useful in evaluating near-term financing requirements.

17

Because the focus of governmental funds financial statements is narrower than that of the government-wide financial statements, it is useful to compare the information presented for governmental funds with similar information presented for governmental activities in the government-wide financial statements. By doing so, readers may better understand the long-term effect of the District's near-term financing decisions. Both the governmental fund balance sheet and the governmental fund statement of revenues, expenditures, and changes in fund balances provide a reconciliation to facilitate this comparison between governmental funds and governmental activities. The District maintained thirty-two individual governmental funds during the year. Information is presented separately in the governmental fund balance sheet and in the governmental fund statement of revenues, expenditures, and changes in fund balances for the general fund, debt service fund, and capital projects funds, which are considered to be major funds. Data from the other twenty-nine governmental funds are combined into a single, aggregated presentation titled other governmental funds. The District adopts an annual revenue and appropriations budget for its general fund. Subsequent to adoption, amendments approved by the governing body are reflected in a revised budget. A budgetary comparison statement has been provided for the general fund to demonstrate compliance with this budget. The basic governmental fund financial statements are noted in the table of contents of this report. Fiduciary funds. Fiduciary funds are used to account for resources held for the benefit of students and student organizations. Fiduciary funds are not reflected in the government-wide financial statements because the resources of those funds are not available to support the District’s own programs and activities. A statement of fiduciary assets and liabilities is presented as noted in the table of contents of this report. Notes to the basic financial statements. The notes provide additional information that is essential to a full understanding of the data provided in the government-wide and fund financial statements. The notes to the basic financial statements are noted in the table of contents of this report. Other information. In addition to the basic financial statements and accompanying notes, this report presents combining funds financial statements and other supplementary information, which includes schedules required by the Texas Education Agency. Such supplementary information is noted in the table of contents of this report. Government-wide Financial Analysis As mentioned earlier, net position may, over time, serve as an indicator of a District's changing financial position. At the close of the District’s most recent fiscal year, assets and deferred outflows of resources exceeded liabilities in the amount of $42,459,091, an increase of $16,613,820 over the preceding year.

The District’s investment in capital assets (e.g., land, buildings and improvements, furniture and equipment and construction in progress), less any related debt used to acquire those assets that are still outstanding totaled $3,311,636 or 8 percent of net position. The District uses these capital assets to provide services to 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. Net 18

position that is restricted for grants totals $3,830,709 or 9 percent of net position. The remaining balance, unrestricted net position $35,316,746 or 83 percent of net position, may be used to meet future obligations to students and creditors. Governmental activities.

The increase in governmental activities net position was primarily the result of increases in grants and contributions revenues was greater than the increase in instruction expenditures. Revenues, aggregating $290,116,842, were generated primarily from two sources. Property taxes $71,601,609 represent 25 percent of total revenues while grants and contributions (including those not restricted for programspecific use as well as for general operations, totaling $210,998,075), represent 72 percent of total revenues. The remaining 3 percent is generated from investment earnings, charges for services, and miscellaneous revenues. The primary functional expense of the District is Instruction $144,213,958, which represents 52 percent of total expenses, while all remaining expense categories are 10 percent or less of total expenses. 19

Financial Analysis of the Government's Funds As mentioned earlier, the District uses fund accounting to ensure and demonstrate compliance with financerelated legal requirements. Governmental funds. At the end of the fiscal year, the District’s governmental funds had combined ending fund balances of $75,566,019, an increase of $9,023,411 from the preceding year. Comments as to each individual fund’s change in fund balance follow. The general fund is the primary operating fund of the District. At year-end, unassigned fund balance of the general fund was $54,102,352, while total fund balance was $56,213,442. To evaluate the general fund’s liquidity, it may be helpful to compare both unassigned fund balance and total fund balance to total fund expenditures. Unassigned fund balance represents 26 percent of total general fund expenditures, while total fund balance represents 27 percent of that same total. The fund balance of the general fund increased $8,380,634 during the year from current activities, primarily due to the increase in local revenues (increased assessed property values), state revenues and other items exceeded the increase in the function for instruction expenditures. The debt service fund ending fund balance of $13,187,125 is restricted for the payment of principal and interest on debt. The debt service fund balance increased $396,615 during the year, primarily due to an increase in tax (increased assessed property values) and state revenue. The capital projects fund ending fund balance of $828,403 is restricted for capital expenditures. The net decrease in fund balance during the current year in the capital projects fund was $656,040. The decrease was due to expenditure of funds as authorized per the bond issue. Governmental funds financial statements may be found by referring to the table of contents. General Fund Budgetary Highlights Differences between the originally-adopted budget and the final amended budget of the general fund were to increase appropriations $14,526,186.

The District’s total bonded debt decreased by $15,116,688 due to regularly scheduled debt payments. The District’s general obligation debt is backed by the full faith and credit of the District and is further guaranteed by the Texas Permanent School Fund Guarantee Program. State statutes do not limit the tax rate or amount of local tax support of school districts’ bonded indebtedness. However, approval of the Attorney General of the State of Texas is required prior to the sale of bonds. Additional information on the District’s long-term debt can be found as noted in Note III. E. Long-term Liabilities of the notes to the financial statements per the table of contents of this report.

RECONCILIATION OF THE STATEMENT OF REVENUES, EXPENDITURES, AND CHANGES IN FUND BALANCES OF GOVERNMENTAL FUNDS TO THE STATEMENT OF ACTIVITIES FOR THE YEAR ENDED AUGUST 31, 2014 Total Net Changes in Fund Balances - Governmental Funds (Exhibit B-2)

$

9,023,411

Amounts reported for governmental activities in the statement of activities are different because: Capital outlays are reported in governmental funds as expenditures. However, in the statement of activities, the cost of those assets is allocated over their estimated useful lives as depreciation expense. $

Capital Assets increased Depreciation Expense

4,223,755 (18,102,440)

(13,878,685)

The net effect of miscellaneous transactions involving capital assets (transfers, adjustments and dispositions) is a increase (decrease) to net position.

5,888,588

Because some property taxes will not be collected for several months after the District's fiscal year end, they are not considered "available" revenues and are deferred in the governmental funds. Deferred tax revenues increased (decreased) by this amount this year.

(103,058)

Repayment of bond principal is an expenditure in the governmental funds, but the repayment reduces long-term liabilities in the statement of net position.

13,195,438

Interest on long-term debt in the statement of activities differs from the amount reported in the governmental funds because interest is recognized as an expenditure in the funds when it is due, and thus requires the use of current financial resources. In the statement of activities, however, interest expense is recognized as the interest accrues, regardless of when it is due. The (increase) decrease in interest reported in the statement of activities consist of the following: Accrued Interest on Current Interest Bonds Payable (increased) decreased $ Accreted Interest Paid Interest Accreted on the Capital Appreciation Bonds Amortization of Bond Premium and Discount Amortization of Defeasance Costs

GRAND PRAIRIE INDEPENDENT SCHOOL DISTRICT NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS AUGUST 31, 2014

I. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies A. Description of Government-wide Financial Statements The government-wide financial statements (i.e., the statement of net position and the statement of activities) report information on all of the nonfiduciary activities of the primary government (District). All fiduciary activities are reported only in the fund financial statements. Governmental activities are normally supported by taxes, intergovernmental revenues, and other nonexchange transactions. B. Reporting Entity The Grand Prairie Independent School District (District) is governed by a seven-member board of trustees (Board), which has governance responsibilities over all activities related to public, elementary and secondary, education within the District. Members of the Board are elected by the public; have authority to make decisions; appoint management and significantly influence operations; and have primary accountability for fiscal matters; the District is not included in any other governmental reporting entity. The accompanying financial statements present the District. C. Basis of Presentation – Government-wide Financial Statements While separate government-wide and fund financial statements are presented, they are interrelated. The governmental activities column incorporates data from governmental funds. Separate financial statements are provided for governmental funds, and fiduciary funds, even though the latter are excluded from the government-wide financial statements. As a general rule, the effect of interfund activity has been eliminated from the government-wide financial statements. D. Basis of Presentation – Fund Financial Statements The fund financial statements provide information about the District’s funds, including its fiduciary funds. Separate statements for each fund category—governmental and fiduciary—are presented. The emphasis of fund financial statements is on major governmental funds, each displayed in a separate column. All remaining governmental funds are aggregated and reported as nonmajor funds. Major individual governmental funds are reported as separate columns in the fund financial statements. The District reports the following major governmental funds: The general fund is the District’s primary operating fund. It accounts for all financial resources of the District, except those accounted for in another fund. The debt service fund is used to account for the accumulation of resources that are restricted, committed, or assigned for the payment of principal and interest on long-term obligations of governmental funds. The capital projects fund accounts for the acquisition and construction of the District’s major capital facilities, other than those financed by proprietary funds. Additionally, the District reports the following fund types: The agency fund accounts for assets held by the District for student organizations. The fund is custodial in nature (assets equal liabilities) and does not involve measurement or results of operations. During the course of operations, the District has activity between funds for various purposes. Any residual balances outstanding at year end are reported as due from/to other funds and advances to/from other funds. While these balances are reported in fund financial statements, certain eliminations are made in the preparation of the government-wide financial statements. Balances between the governmental funds included in the governmental activities (i.e., the governmental funds) column are eliminated. Further, certain activity occurs during the year involving transfers of resources between funds. In fund financial statements these amounts are reported at gross amounts as transfers in/out. While reported in fund financial statements, certain eliminations are made in the preparation of the government-wide financial statements. Transfers between the governmental funds included in governmental activities are eliminated. 35

GRAND PRAIRIE INDEPENDENT SCHOOL DISTRICT NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS AUGUST 31, 2014

E. Measurement Focus and Basis of Accounting The accounting and financial reporting treatment is determined by the applicable measurement focus and basis of accounting. Measurement focus indicates the type of resources being measured such as current financial resources or economic resources. The basis of accounting indicates the timing of transactions or events for recognition in the financial statements. The government-wide financial statements are reported using the economic resources measurement focus and the accrual basis of accounting. Revenues are recorded when earned and expenses are recorded when a liability is incurred, regardless of the timing of related cash flows. Property taxes are recognized as revenues in the year for which they are levied. Grants and similar items are recognized as revenue as soon as all eligibility requirements imposed by the provider have been met. The governmental fund financial statements are reported using the current financial resources measurement focus and the modified accrual basis of accounting. Revenues are recognized as soon as they are both measurable and available. Revenues are considered to be available when they are collectible within the current period or soon enough thereafter to pay liabilities of the current period. For this purpose, the District considers revenues to be available if they are collected within 60 days of the end of the current fiscal period. Expenditures generally are recorded when a liability is incurred, as under accrual accounting. However, debt service expenditures, as well as expenditures related to compensated absences, and claims and judgments, are recorded only when payment is due. General capital asset acquisitions are reported as expenditures in governmental funds. Issuance of long-term debt and acquisitions under capital leases are reported as other financing sources. Interest associated with the current fiscal period is considered to be susceptible to accrual and has been recognized as revenues of the current fiscal period. Entitlements are recorded as revenues when all eligibility requirements are met, including any time requirements, and the amount is received during the period or within the availability period for this revenue source (within 60 days of year end). Expenditure-driven grants are recognized as revenue when the qualifying expenditures have been incurred and all other eligibility requirements have been met, and the amount is received during the period or within the availability period for this revenue source (within 60 days of year end). All other revenue items, including property taxes, are considered to be measurable and available only when cash is received by the District. The agency fund has no measurement focus but utilizes the accrual basis of accounting for reporting its assets and liabilities. F. Assets, Liabilities, Deferred Outflows/Inflows of Resources, and Net Position/Fund Balance 1. Cash and Cash Equivalents The District’s cash and cash equivalents are considered to be cash on hand, and demand or time deposits with original maturities of three months or less from the date of acquisition. 2. Investments Investments for the District are reported at fair value (generally based on quoted market prices) except for the position in investment pools. In accordance with state law, the pools operate in conformity with all of the requirements of the Securities and Exchange Commission’s (SEC) Rule 2a7 as promulgated under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended. Accordingly, the pools qualify as a 2a7-like pool and are reported at the net asset value per share (which approximates fair value) even though it is calculated using the amortized cost method. The pools are subject to regulatory oversight by the State Treasurer, although it is not registered with the SEC. 3. Inventories and Prepaid Items Inventories are valued at cost using the first-in/first-out (FIFO) method and consist of expendable supplies. The cost of such inventories is recorded as expenditures/expenses when consumed rather than when purchased. Certain payments to vendors reflect costs applicable to future accounting periods and are recorded as prepaid items in both the government-wide and fund financial statements. The cost of prepaid items is recorded as expenditures/expenses when consumed rather than when purchased.

GRAND PRAIRIE INDEPENDENT SCHOOL DISTRICT NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS AUGUST 31, 2014

4. Capital Assets Capital assets, which include land and improvements, construction in progress, buildings and improvements, and furniture and equipment, are reported in the applicable governmental activities column in the governmentwide financial statements. The District’s infrastructure includes parking lots and sidewalks associated with various buildings. The cost of the infrastructure was initially capitalized with the building cost and is being depreciated over the same useful life as the building. Capital assets are defined by the District as assets with an initial, individual cost of more than $5,000, and an estimated useful life in excess of two years. In the case of the initial capitalization of general infrastructure assets (i.e., those reported by governmental activities), the District chose to include all such items regardless of their acquisition date or amount. The District was able to estimate the historical cost for the initial reporting of these assets through back trending (i.e., estimating the current replacement cost of the infrastructure to be capitalized and using an appropriate price-level index to deflate the cost to the acquisition year or estimated acquisition year). As the District constructs or acquires additional capital assets each period, including infrastructure assets, they are capitalized and reported at historical cost. The reported value excludes normal maintenance and repairs which are essentially amounts spent in relation to capital assets that do not increase the capacity or efficiency of the item or increase its estimated useful life. Donated capital assets are recorded at their estimated fair value at the date of donation. Land and improvements and construction in progress are not depreciated. The buildings and improvements and furniture and equipment of the District are depreciated using the straight line method over the following estimated useful lives: Capital Asset Classes Buildings and Improvements Furniture and Equipment

Lives 7-50 3-25

5. Deferred Outflows/Inflows of Resources In addition to assets, the statement of financial position will sometimes report a separate section for deferred outflows of resources. This separate financial statement element, deferred outflows of resources, represents a consumption of net position that applies to a future period(s) and so will not be recognized as an outflow of resources (expense/ expenditure) until then. The District only has one item that qualifies for reporting in this category. It is the deferred charge on refunding reported in the government-wide statement of net position. A deferred charge on refunding results from the difference in the carrying value of refunded debt and its reacquisition price. This amount is deferred and amortized over the shorter of the life of the refunded or refunding debt. In addition to liabilities, the statement of financial position will sometimes report a separate section for deferred inflows of resources. This separate financial statement element, deferred inflows of resources, represents an acquisition of net position that applies to a future period(s) and so will not be recognized as an inflow of resources (revenue) until that time. The District has only one type of item, which arises only under a modified accrual basis of accounting, that qualifies for reporting in this category. Accordingly, the item, unavailable revenue - property taxes, is reported only in the governmental funds balance sheet. The amount is deferred and recognized as an inflow of resources in the period that the amount becomes available. 6. Net Position Flow Assumption Sometimes the District will fund outlays for a particular purpose from both restricted (e.g., restricted bond or grant proceeds) and unrestricted resources. In order to calculate the amounts to report as restricted – net position and unrestricted – net position in the government-wide financial statements, a flow assumption must be made about the order in which the resources are considered to be applied. It is the District’s policy to consider restricted – net position to have been depleted before unrestricted – net position is applied. 7. Fund Balance Flow Assumptions Sometimes the District will fund outlays for a particular purpose from both restricted and unrestricted resources (the total of committed, assigned, and unassigned fund balance). In order to calculate the amounts to report as restricted, committed, assigned, and unassigned fund balance in the governmental fund financial statements a flow assumption must be made about the order in which the resources are considered to be applied. It is the 37

GRAND PRAIRIE INDEPENDENT SCHOOL DISTRICT NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS AUGUST 31, 2014

District’s policy to consider restricted fund balance to have been depleted before using any of the components of unrestricted fund balance. Further, when the components of unrestricted fund balance can be used for the same purpose, committed fund balance is depleted first, followed by assigned fund balance. Unassigned fund balance is applied last. 8. Fund Balance Policies Fund balance of governmental funds is reported in various categories based on the nature of any limitations requiring the use of resources for specific purposes. The District itself can establish limitations on the use of resources through either a commitment (committed fund balance) or an assignment (assigned fund balance). The committed fund balance classification includes amounts that can be used only for the specific purposes determined by a formal action of the District’s highest level of decision-making authority. The board of trustees is the highest level of decision-making authority for the District that can, by board action or adoption of a resolution prior to the end of the fiscal year, commit fund balance. Once adopted, these amounts can only be used for the purpose intended, which requires formal Board action to establish (as noted in Board minutes or resolution), unless the Board modifies or removes the specified use by taking the same formal Board action. Amounts in the assigned fund balance classification are intended to be used by the District for specific purposes but do not meet the criteria to be classified as committed. The board of trustees (Board) has by resolution authorized the superintendent or his designee to assign fund balance. The Board may also assign fund balance as it does when appropriating fund balance to cover a gap between estimated revenue and appropriations in the subsequent year’s appropriated budget. Unlike commitments, assignments generally only exist temporarily. In other words, an additional action does not normally have to be taken for the removal of an assignment. Conversely, as discussed above, an additional action is essential to either remove or revise a commitment. G. Revenues and Expenditures/Expenses 1. Program Revenues Amounts reported as program revenues include 1) charges to customers or applicants who purchase, use, or directly benefit from goods, services, or privileges provided by a given function or segment and 2) grants and contributions that are restricted to meeting the operational or capital requirements of a particular function or segment. All taxes, including those dedicated for specific purposes, and other internally dedicated resources are reported as general revenues rather than as program revenues. 2. Property Taxes Property values are determined by the Appraisal District as of January 1 of each year. Prior to September 1 of each year, the District must adopt its annual budget and as soon thereafter as practicable, shall adopt a tax rate thus creating the tax levy. Property taxes for current calendar year are levied on approximately October 1 of each year and are payable by January 31 of the following year. Property tax receivables are recorded as of the date levied. Unpaid taxes become delinquent on February 1 and a tax lein on real property is created as of July 1 of each year. 3. Compensated Absences It is the District's policy to permit employees to accumulate earned but unused sick leave bene ts. Payment for unused sick leave days accumulated locally will be made upon retirement (in accordance with guidelines established by the Teacher Retirement System of Texas). All sick pay is accrued when incurred (employee is eligible for retirement) in the government-wide financial statements. A liability for these amounts is reported in governmental funds only if they have matured, for example, the result of employee terminations. The District does not have a liability for unpaid vacation at year end due to the District's policy does not allow a carryover of vacation not taken at August 31. 4. Use of Estimates The presentation of financial statements, in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles, requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements, and the reported amounts of revenues and expenditures during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates. 38

5. Data Control Codes The Data Control Codes refer to the account code structure prescribed by TEA in the Financial Accountability System Resource Guide. Texas Education Agency requires school districts to display these codes in the financial statements filed with the Agency in order to ensure accuracy in building a statewide data base for policy development and funding plans. II. Stewardship, Compliance, and Accountability A. Budgetary Information Annual budgets are adopted on a basis consistent with generally accepted accounting principles for the general fund, National School Breakfast and Lunch Program special revenue fund and, debt service fund. All other governmental funds adopt project length budgets. All annual appropriations lapse at fiscal year-end. The following procedures are followed in establishing the budgetary data reflected in the financial statements. 1. Prior to August 20 of the preceding fiscal year, the District prepares a budget for the next succeeding fiscal year beginning September 1. The operating budget includes proposed expenditures and the means of financing them. 2. A meeting of the Board is then called for the purpose of adopting the proposed budget after ten days’ public notice of the meeting has been given. 3. Prior to September 1, the budget is legally enacted through passage of a resolution by the Board. The appropriated budget is prepared by fund, function, and campus/department. The District's campus/department heads may make transfers of appropriations within a campus/department. Transfers of appropriations between campus/departments require the approval of the District’s management. Transfers of appropriations between functions require the approval of the Board. The legal level of budgetary control (i.e., the level at which expenditures may not legally exceed appropriations) is the function level within a fund. The District made several supplemental budgetary appropriations throughout the year that were not significant to a function. B. Encumbrances Encumbrance accounting is employed in governmental funds. Encumbrances (e.g., purchase orders, contracts) outstanding at year-end are reported as restricted, committed, or assigned fund balances as appropriate. The encumbrances do not constitute expenditures or liabilities because the commitments will be reappropriated and honored during the subsequent year. Encumbrances are reported as restricted, committed, or assigned in the governmental funds. At August 31, 2014, significant encumbrances included in governmental fund balances are as follows: Assigned Fund Balance $ 705,741

Encumbrances Included in: General Fund

III. Detailed Notes on All Funds A. Deposits and Investments Cash Deposits. The District’s funds are required to be deposited and invested under the terms of a depository contract pursuant to the Texas School Depository Act. The depository bank pledges securities which comply with state law and these securities are held for safekeeping and trust with the District’s and the depository banks’ agent bank. The pledged securities are approved by the Texas Education Agency (TEA) and shall be in an amount sufficient to protect District funds on a day-to-day basis during the period of the contract. The pledge of approved securities is waived only to the extent of the depository bank’s dollar amount of Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (FDIC) insurance.

Investments. The District’s investment policy is in accordance with the Public Funds Investment Act (PFIA), the Public Funds Collateral Act, and federal and state laws. State law and District policy limits credit risk by allowing investing in 1) Obligations of the United States or its agencies which are backed by the full faith and credit of the United States, obligations of the State of Texas or its agencies, counties, cities and other political subdivisions of any state rated as to investment quality by a nationally recognized investment rating firm (NRIRF) not less than A or its equivalent; 2) Certificates of deposit issued by a depository located in Texas which is insured by the FDIC or purchased through a broker who has an office located in Texas; 3) Repurchase agreements secured by obligations of the United States or its agencies not to exceed 90 days to maturity from the date of purchase; 4) Securities lending program if the loan is secured by pledged securities, irrevocable letters of credit, or cash and the term of the loan is one year or less; 5) Bankers acceptances with a stated maturity of 270 days or fewer which are eligible for collateral for borrowing from a Federal Reserve Bank; 6) Commercial paper that has a stated maturity of 270 days or fewer from the date of issuance is rated not less than A-1 or P-1 or an equivalent rating by at least two nationally recognized credit rating agencies; 7) No-load money market mutual funds which shall be registered with the Securities and Exchange Commission which have an average weighted maturity of less than two years, investments comply with the Public Funds Investment Act and are continuously rated not less than AAA by at least one NRIRF. 8) A guaranteed investment contract (for bond proceeds only) which meets the criteria and eligibility requirements established by the Public Funds Investment Act; 9) Public funds investment pools which meets the requirements of the Public Funds Investment Act. As of August 31, 2014, the District had the following governmental fund investments: Investment Type Texpool Texas Class Lonestar TexStar Total Fair Value Portfolio Weighted Average Maturity

Weighted Average Maturity (Years) 0.22 0.18 0.08 0.78 0.21

Credit risk. For fiscal year 2014, the District invested in Texpool, Texas Class, Lone Star, and TexStar. Texpool is duly chartered and administered by the State Comptroller’s Office. Texas Class is duly chartered by the State of Texas Interlocal Cooperation Act and is administered by Public Trust Advisors, LLC. Lone Star Investment Pool is duly chartered by the State of Texas Interlocal Cooperation Act and is administered by First Public, LLC., formerly the Texas Association of School Boards Financial Services. TexStar is duly chartered by the State of Texas Interlocal Cooperation Act and is administered by First Southwest Asset Management, Inc. and JPMorgan Chase. At year end, the District’s investments were rated as noted in the table above. All credit ratings met acceptable levels required by legal guidelines prescribed in both the PFIA and the District’s investment policy. Interest rate risk. Interest rate risk is the risk that changes in interest rates may adversely affect the value of the investments. The District monitors interest rate risk utilizing weighted average maturity analysis. In accordance with its investment policy, the District reduces its exposure to declines in fair values by limiting the weighted average maturity of any internally created pool to no more than 180 days, and any other individual investment shall not exceed one year from the time of purchase, unless specifically authorized by the Board of Trustees. Concentration of credit risk. The District’s investment policy does not limit an investment in any one issuer. The investment portfolio shall be diversified in terms of investment instruments, maturity scheduling, and financial institutions to reduce risk of loss resulting from over-concentration of assets in a specified class of investments, specific maturity, or specific issuer. Custodial credit risk – deposits. In the case of deposits, this is the risk that in the event of a bank failure, the District’s deposits may not be returned to it. As of August 31, 2014, District’s bank balances of $8,834,534 were not exposed to custodial credit risk because the balance was secured by FDIC Insurance and pledged securities as required by the Texas School Depository Act.

IV. Other Information A. Risk Management Property/Liability The District is exposed to various risks of loss related to property/liability losses for which the District carries commercial insurance and participates in the Texas Association of Public Schools Property and Liability Fund (Fund) for property, liability, vehicle coverage, and crime. The Fund was created to formulate, develop and administer a program of modified self-funding for the Fund’s membership, obtain competitive costs for coverages and develop a comprehensive loss control program. The District pays an annual premium to the Fund for its liability coverage and transfers the risk of loss to the Fund. The District’s agreement with the Fund provides that the Fund will be self-sustaining through member premiums and may provide, through commercial companies, reinsurance contracts. In the event that the Fund was to discontinue operations, the member districts would be responsible for any eligible claims not funded by the Fund. In addition, there were no significant reductions in coverage in the past fiscal year and there were no settlements exceeding insurance coverage for each of the past three fiscal years. Health Care Coverage During the year ended August 31, 2014, employees of the District were covered by a health insurance plan. The District paid premiums of $301 per month per employee to the plan and employees, at their option, authorized payroll withholdings to pay premiums for dependents. All premiums were paid to a licensed insurer. The contract between the District and the licensed insurer is renewable annually and terms of coverage and premium costs are included in the contractual provisions. Workers’ Compensation During the year ended August 31, 2014, Grand Prairie ISD met its statutory workers’ compensation obligations by participating as a self-funded member of the TASB Risk Management Fund (the Fund). The Fund was created and is operated under the provisions of the Interlocal Cooperation Act, Chapter 791 of the Texas Government Code and Chapter 504, Texas Labor Code. All members participating in the Fund execute Interlocal Agreements that define the responsibilities of the parties. As a self-funded member of the TASB Risk Management Fund, Grand Prairie ISD is solely responsible for all claim costs, both reported and unreported. Workers’ compensation liability is discounted at a rate of 3%. The Fund provides administrative services to its self-funded members including claims administration and customer service. Liabilities of the fund are reported when it is probable that a loss has occurred and the amount of the loss can be reasonably estimated. Liabilities also include an estimated amount for claims that have been incurred but not reported (IBNRs). The result of the process to estimate the claims liability is not an exact amount as it depends on many complex factors, such as inflation, changes in legal doctrines, and damage awards. Accordingly, claims are reevaluated periodically to consider the effects of inflation, recent claim settlement trends (including frequency and amount of pay-outs), and other economic and social factors. The estimate of the claims liability also includes amounts for incremental claim adjustment expenses related to specific claims and other nonincremental claims adjustment expenses regardless of whether allocated to specific claims. Estimated recoveries, for example for subrogation, are another component of the claims liability estimate. Workers’ compensation liability is discounted at a rate of 3%. An excess coverage insurance policy covers individual claims in excess of $1,000,000. Settlements have not exceeded coverages for each of the past 45

GRAND PRAIRIE INDEPENDENT SCHOOL DISTRICT NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS AUGUST 31, 2014

three fiscal years and there were no significant reductions in insurance coverage from the prior year. The workers’ compensation claims liability is presented at a discounted rate of 3% in the amount of $1,159,280. Changes in the balances of claims liabilities during the past two years are as follows:

Unpaid Claims, Beginning of Fiscal Year Incurred Claims, including incremental provision (adjustment) for IBNRs Claim Payments Unpaid Claims, End of Fiscal Year

Source: Grand Prairie ISD's Financial Records Note: The District adopted the provisions of GASB 54 in 2011 which changed the fund balance classifications to Nonspendable, Restricted, Committed, Assigned and Unassigned. GASB 54 provides more clearly defined fund balance categories to make the nature and extent of the constraints placed on a government's fund balances more transparent.

Percentages were estimated by determining the portion of the overlapping taxing authorities actual taxable value that is within the District's boundaries and dividing it by the overlapping taxing authorities' total actual taxable value. (2) The District's debt is reported gross for comparability due to premiums and discounts of overlapping entities not being readily available.

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

The Board of Trustees of Grand Prairie Independent School District 2602 S. Beltline Road Grand Prairie, Texas 75052 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, each major fund, and the aggregate remaining fund information of Grand Prairie Independent School District (District), as of and for the year ended August 31, 2014, and the related notes to the financial statements, which collectively comprise the District’s basic financial statements and have issued our report thereon dated December 1, 2014. Internal Control Over Financial Reporting In planning and performing our audit of the financial statements, we considered the 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 the District’s internal control. Accordingly, we do not express an opinion on the effectiveness of the 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 combination of deficiencies, in internal control, such that there is a reasonable possibility that a material misstatement of the District’s financial statements will not be prevented, or detected and corrected on a timely basis. A significant deficiency is a deficiency, or a combination of deficiencies, in internal control that is less severe than a material weakness, yet important enough to merit attention by those charged with governance. Our consideration of internal control was for the limited purpose described in the first paragraph of this section and was not designed to identify all deficiencies in internal control that might be material weaknesses or, significant deficiencies. Given these limitations, during our audit we did not identify any deficiencies in internal control that we consider to be material weaknesses. However, material weaknesses may exist that have not been identified. Compliance and Other Matters As part of obtaining reasonable assurance about whether the 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. 123

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 District’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 District’s internal control and compliance. Accordingly, this communication is not suitable for any other purpose. Respectfully,

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

The Board of Trustees of Grand Prairie Independent School District 2602 S. Beltline Road Grand Prairie, Texas 75052 Report on Compliance for Each Major Federal Program We have audited Grand Prairie Independent School District’s (District) 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 the District’s major federal programs for the year ended August 31, 2014. The 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 the 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 the District’s compliance with those requirements and performing such other procedures as we considered necessary in the circumstances. We believe that our audit provides a reasonable basis for our opinion on compliance for each major federal program. However, our audit does not provide a legal determination of the District’s compliance. Opinion on Each Major Federal Program In our opinion, Grand Prairie Independent 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 August 31, 2014.

125

Report on Internal Control Over Compliance Management of the 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 the 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 A133, 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 District’s internal control over compliance. A deficiency in internal control over compliance exists when the design or operation of a control over compliance does not allow management or employees, in the normal course of performing their assigned functions, to prevent, or detect and correct, noncompliance with a type of compliance requirement of a federal program on a timely basis. A material weakness in internal control over compliance is a deficiency, or combination of deficiencies, in internal control over compliance, such that there is a reasonable possibility that material noncompliance with a type of compliance requirement of a federal program will not be prevented, or detected and corrected, on a timely basis. A significant deficiency in internal control over compliance is a deficiency, or a combination of deficiencies, in internal control over compliance with a type of compliance requirement of a federal program that is less severe than a material weakness in internal control over compliance, yet important enough to merit attention by those charged with governance. Our consideration of internal control over compliance was for the limited purpose described in the first paragraph of this section and was not designed to identify all deficiencies in internal control over compliance that might be material weaknesses or significant deficiencies. We did not identify any deficiencies in internal control over compliance that we consider to be material weaknesses. However, material weaknesses may exist that have not been identified. The purpose of this report on internal control over compliance is solely to describe the scope of our testing of internal control over compliance and the results of that testing based on the requirements of OMB Circular A-133. Accordingly, this report is not suitable for any other purpose. Respectfully,
