  9. Financial Integrity Rating System of Texas Wylie ISD Was total Fund Balance lessReserved Fund Balance greater thanzero in the General Fund? Indicator #1 School districts must legally have a fund balance to ensure adequate funding for operations. This indicator is designed to ensure that the district has a positive amount of fund balance cash (savings) that is not designated or “reserved” for a specific purpose. In other words, “Does the district have funds set aside for a rainy day?” Fund balance less reserved fund balance was $11,692,657 as of June 30, 2009. Status Yes Data Supporting Indicator

  10. Financial Integrity Rating System of Texas Wylie ISD Was the Total Unrestricted Net Asset Balance (Net of Accretion of Interest on Capital Appreciation Bonds) in the Governmental Activities Column in the Statement of Net Assets Greater than Zero? (If the District’s 5 Year % Change in Students was 10% more) Indicator #2 This indicator simply asks, “Did the district’s total assets exceed the total amount of liabilities (according to the very first financial statement in the annual audit report)?” Fortunately this indicator recognizes that high-growth districts incur large amounts of debt to fund construction, and that total debt may exceed the total amount of assets under certain scenarios. The District’s five year percentage change was 44.5%. Status Yes Data Supporting Indicator

  11. Financial Integrity Rating System of Texas Wylie ISD Were there NO disclosures in the Annual Report and/or other sources of information concerning default on bonded indebtedness obligations? Indicator #3 This indicator seeks to make certain that the district has paid our bills/obligations on bonds issued to pay for school construction, etc. There were no disclosures concerning default on bonded indebtedness obligations in the Annual Report and/or other sources of information. Status Yes Data Supporting Indicator

  12. Financial Integrity Rating System of Texas Wylie ISD Was the Annual Financial Report filed within one month after the November 27 or January 28 deadline depending upon the district’s Fiscal Year end date (June 30 or August 31)? Indicator #4 A simple indicator. Was the Annual Financial Report filed by the deadline? The Annual Financial Report was filed on October 30, 2009. Status Yes Data Supporting Indicator

  13. Financial Integrity Rating System of Texas Wylie ISD Was there an Unqualified Opinion in the Annual Financial Report? Indicator #5 A “qualification” on the financial report means that we need to correct some of our reporting or financial controls. A district’s goal, therefore, is to receive an “unqualified opinion” on its Annual Financial Report. This is a simple “Yes” or “No” indicator. There was an unqualified opinion in the Annual Financial Report. Status Yes Data Supporting Indicator

  14. Financial Integrity Rating System of Texas Wylie ISD Did the Annual Financial Report NOT disclose any instance(s) of material weakness in internal controls? Indicator #6 A clean audit of the Annual Financial Report would state that our district has no material weaknesses in internal controls. Any internal weaknesses create a risk of our District not being able to properly account for its use of public funds, and should be immediately addressed. The Annual Financial Report did NOT disclose any instances of material weakness in internal controls. Status Yes Data Supporting Indicator

  15. Financial Integrity Rating System of Texas Wylie ISD Did the district’s academic rating exceed academically unacceptable? Indicator #7 This indicator simply asks whether the district’s accreditation status is in good standing. The District did not receive an Academically Unacceptable rating. Points 5 Data Supporting Indicator

  16. Financial Integrity Rating System of Texas Wylie ISD Was the three-year average percent of total tax collections (including delinquent) greater than 98 percent? Indicator #8 This indicator measures the district’s success in collecting the taxes owed to us by our community’s businesses and homeowners, placing a 98 percent minimum collections standard. We must collect more than 98 percent of our taxes, includingany delinquent taxes owed from past years. A district earns up to five points under this indicator based upon its relative performance. The three-year average tax collection rate (including delinquent taxes) was 99.71%. Points 5 Data Supporting Indicator

  17. Financial Integrity Rating System of Texas Wylie ISD Did the comparison of PEIMS data to like information in the Annual Financial Report result in an aggregate variance of less than 3 percent of expenditures per fund type (Data Quality Measure)? Indicator 9 This indicator measures the quality of data reported to PEIMS and in our Annual Financial Report to make certain that the data reported in each case “matches up.” If the difference in numbers reported in any fund type is more than 3 percent, our district “fails” this measure. The aggregate variance between PEIMS data and information in the Annual Financial Report was 0.0001519%. Points 5 Data Supporting Indicator

  18. Financial Integrity Rating System of Texas Wylie ISD Were Debt-Related Expenditures (net of IFA and/or EDA allotment) less than $250 per student? (If the district’s five-year percent change in students was a 7 percent increase or more, or if property taxes collected per penny of tax effort were more than $200,000, then answer this indicator YES.) Indicator #10 This indicator shows the Legislature’s intent for school districts to spend money on education, rather than fancy buildings, by limiting the amount of money district’s can spend on debt to $250 per student. Fortunately, the Legislature did allow for fast-growth schools to exceed this cap. A district earns up to five points under this indicator based upon its relative performance. Debt related expenditures (net of IFA and EDA allotments) for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2009 were $923 per student. However, our five-year percent change in students was greater than 7 percent (44.5%), and one penny of tax effort was more than $200,000 ($308,587) for the year ended June 30, 2009.

(If Deferred Revenues are less than Delinquent Taxes Receivable, then the district receives 5 points.) Indicator #15 This indicator measures whether or not our district has sufficient cash and investments to balance Fund Balance monies such as TEA overpayments (deferred revenues). In other words, our District should have fund balance monies of its own that are at least equal to those dollars that are there due to overpayments from TEA, and we should not be spending “next year’s” monies this year.
