analysis to provide an overview of the District’s financial activities for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2019.

The information contained in the Management’s Discussion and Analysis (MD&A) is intended to highlight

significant transactions, events, and conditions and should be considered in conjunction with the District’s

financial statements and notes to financial statements found immediately following the MD&A.

FINANCIAL HIGHLIGHTS

Key financial highlights for the 2018-19 fiscal year are as follows:

As of June 30, 2019, the assets and deferred outflows of resources exceed the liabilities and deferred inflows of resources by $54,165,947.07.

In total, net position increased $584,880.75, which represents a 1.08 percent increase from the 2017-18 fiscal year.

General revenues total $51,937,751.72, or 88.56 percent of all revenues. Program specific revenues in the form of charges for services, operating grants and contributions, and capital grants and contributions total $6,707,300.79, or 11.44 percent of all revenues.

Expenses total $58,060,171.76. Expenses totaling $51,352,870.97 were offset by program specific charges, operating grants and contributions, and capital grants and contributions, with the remainder paid from general revenues.

At the end of the current fiscal year, the fund balance of the General Fund totals $5,624,921.42, which is $1,619,144.72 more than the prior fiscal year balance. The General Fund assigned and unassigned fund balances totaled $5,001,538.98, or approximately 11.37 percent of total General Fund revenues.

OVERVIEW OF FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

The basic financial statements consist of three components: (1) government-wide financial statements;

(2) fund financial statements; and (3) notes to financial statements. This report also includes

supplementary information intended to furnish additional details to support the basic financial statements.

Government-Wide Financial Statements

The government-wide financial statements provide both short-term and long-term information about the

District’s overall financial condition in a manner similar to those of a private-sector business. The

statements include a statement of net position and a statement of activities that are designed to provide

consolidated financial information about the governmental activities of the District presented on the

accrual basis of accounting. The statement of net position provides information about the District’s

financial position, its assets, liabilities, and deferred inflows/outflows of resources, using an economic

resources measurement focus. Assets plus deferred outflows of resources, less liabilities and deferred

inflows of resources, equals net position, which is a measure of the District’s financial health. The

statement of activities presents information about the change in the District’s net position, the results of

operations, during the fiscal year. An increase or decrease in net position is an indication of whether the

District’s financial health is improving or deteriorating.

All of the District’s activities and services are reported in the government-wide financial statements as

governmental activities. The District’s governmental activities include instruction, student support

services, instructional support services, administrative support services, facility maintenance,

transportation, and food services. Property taxes and State revenues finance most of these activities.

Additionally, all capital and debt financing activities are reported as governmental activities.

The government-wide statements present the District’s activities in the following categories:

Governmental activities – This represents most of the District’s services, including its educational programs such as basic, vocational, and exceptional education. Support functions such as transportation and administration are also included. Local property taxes and the State’s education finance program provide most of the resources that support these activities.

Component units – The District presents two charter schools in this report as discretely present component units: Whispering Winds Charter School Project, Inc. and Nature Coast Middle School, Inc. Although legally separate organizations, they are included in this report because they meet the criteria for inclusion provided by generally accepted accounting principles. Financial information for these component units is reported separately from the financial information presented for the District.

The Levy County Public Facilities Finance Authority, Inc. (Authority), although also a legally separate entity, was formed to facilitate financing for the acquisition of facilities and equipment for the District. Due to the substantive economic relationship between the District and the Authority, the financial activities of the Authority are blended in the accompanying basic financial statements.

Fund Financial Statements

Fund financial statements are one of the components of the basic 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 uses fund accounting to ensure and demonstrate

compliance with finance-related legal requirements and prudent fiscal management. Certain funds are

established by law while others are created by legal agreements, such as bond covenants. Fund financial

statements provide more detailed information about the District’s financial activities, focusing on its most

significant or “major” funds rather than fund types. This is in contrast to the entitywide perspective

contained in the government-wide statements. All of the District’s funds may be classified within one of

the broad categories discussed below.

Governmental Funds: Governmental funds are used to account for essentially the same functions

reported as governmental activities in the government-wide financial statements. However, unlike the

government-wide financial statements, governmental fund financial statements focus on near-term

inflows and outflows of spendable resources, as well as on balances of spendable resources available

at the end of the fiscal year. Such information may be useful in assessing a government’s near-term

financing requirements.

Because the focus of governmental funds 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 impact of the government’s near-term financing

decisions. Both the governmental funds balance sheet and the governmental funds statement of

revenues, expenditures, and changes in fund balances provide a reconciliation to facilitate this

comparison between governmental funds and governmental activities.

The governmental funds balance sheet and statement of revenues, expenditures, and changes in fund

balances provide detailed information about the District’s most significant funds. The District’s major

funds are the General Fund, Special Revenue – Other Fund, Debt Service – Other Fund, Capital

Projects – Local Capital Improvement Fund, and Capital Projects – Other Fund. Data from the other

governmental funds are combined into a single, aggregated presentation.

The District adopts an annual appropriated budget for its governmental funds. A budgetary comparison

schedule has been provided for the General and major Special Revenue Funds to demonstrate

compliance with the budget.

Proprietary Fund: Proprietary funds may be established to account for activities in which a fee is

charged for services. Internal service funds are used to report activities that provide goods and services

to support the District’s other programs and functions through user charges. The District uses the internal

service fund to account for the self-insurance program. Since these services predominantly benefit

governmental functions, the internal service fund has been included within governmental activities in the

government-wide financial statements.

Fiduciary Funds: Fiduciary funds are used to report assets held in a trustee or fiduciary capacity for the

benefit of external parties, such as student activity funds. Fiduciary funds are not reflected in the

government-wide statements because the resources are not available to support the District’s own

programs. In its fiduciary capacity, the District is responsible for ensuring that the assets reported in

these funds are used only for their intended purposes.

The District uses agency funds to account for resources held for student activities and groups and to

account for the activity of the employee medical and dependent care reimbursement program.

Notes to Financial Statements

The notes provide additional information that is essential for a full understanding of the data provided in

the government-wide and fund financial statements.

Other Information

In addition to the basic financial statements and accompanying notes, this report also presents required

supplementary information concerning the District’s net pension liability and the changes in its total other

postemployment benefits liability.

GOVERNMENT-WIDE FINANCIAL ANALYSIS

As noted earlier, net position over time may serve as a useful indicator of a government’s financial health.

The following is a summary of the District’s net position as of June 30, 2019, compared to net position as

of June 30, 2018:

Net Position, End of Year

6-30-19 6-30-18

Current and Other Assets 15,813,676.16$ 10,212,693.00$

Restricted 7,412,227.21 3,639,666.86

Unrestricted (Deficit) (21,184,261.63) (21,959,998.88)

Total Net Position 54,165,947.07$ 53,587,816.32$

Governmental

Activities

The largest portion of the District’s net position is investment in capital assets (e.g., land; buildings;

furniture, fixtures, and equipment), less any related debt still outstanding. The District uses these capital

assets to provide services to students; consequently, these assets are not available for future spending.

Although the investment in capital assets is reported net of related debt, the resources used to repay the

debt must be provided from other sources, since the capital assets cannot be used to liquidate these

liabilities.

The restricted portion of the District’s net position represents resources that are subject to external

restrictions on how they may be used. The deficit unrestricted net position was the result, in part, of

accruing $3,382,837.81 in compensated absences payable, $2,342,428 in other postemployment benefit

obligations, and $29,092,167 in net pension liability.

The key elements of the changes in the District’s net position for the fiscal years ended June 30, 2019,

and June 30, 2018, are as follows:

Net Position - Ending 54,165,947.07$ 53,587,816.32$

Governmental

Activities

(1) Adjustment to beginning net position is due to the restatement of the Florida Retirement Service Pension Liability Schedules.

The largest revenue source is the State of Florida (60.55 percent). Revenues from State sources for

current operations are primarily received through the Florida Education Finance Program (FEFP) funding

formula. The FEFP funding formula utilizes student enrollment data and is designed to maintain equity

in funding across all Florida school districts, taking into consideration the District’s funding ability based

on the local property tax base.

Capital Grants and Contributions increased by $2,600,128.26, or 87.52 percent, primarily due to the sale

of school property.

Property tax levied for operational purposes increased by $463,846.52, or 4.74 percent.

FINANCIAL ANALYSIS OF THE DISTRICT’S FUNDS

Governmental Funds

The focus of the District’s governmental funds is to provide information on near-term inflows, outflows,

and balances of spendable resources. Such information is useful in assessing the District’s financing

requirements. Specifically, unassigned fund balance may serve as a useful measure of a government’s

net resources available for discretionary use as it represents the portion of fund balance that has not

been limited to a particular purpose by an external party, the District, or a group or individual delegated

authority by the Board to assign resources for particular purposes.

The District receives funding from local, State, and Federal sources. Revenue from local sources is

primarily generated by ad valorem property taxes. Revenues from State sources for current operations

are primarily received through the FEFP funding formula. Federal awards are received for the

enhancement of various educational programs, including Title I, National School Lunch, and others.

Funding for current education operations received from local, State, and Federal sources totaled

$56,064,770.54. Local revenue collections were $14,101,566.79 (25.15 percent), State revenues

amounted to $33,949,528.83 (60.55 percent), and Federal revenues of $8,013,674.92 (14.30 percent).

The total fund balances of governmental funds increased by $4,992,419.08 during the fiscal year to

$12,413,766.19 at June 30, 2019. Approximately 29.37 percent of this amount is unassigned fund

balance ($3,655,505.47), which is available for spending at the District’s discretion. The remainder of

the fund balance is nonspendable, restricted, or assigned to indicate that it is (1) not in spendable form

for inventories ($55,026.32), (2) restricted for food service expenditures ($1,052,835.62), State required

carryover programs ($296,714.76), debt service payments ($279.70), capital projects expenditures

($5,680,703.13), and other District purposes ($326,667.68); and (3) assigned for purchase commitments,

capital projects, and local projects ($1,346,033.51).

Major Governmental Funds

The General Fund is the District’s chief operating fund. General Fund revenues and other financing

sources are greater than expenditures and other financing uses by $1,619,144.72, increasing the General

Fund fund balance to $5,624,921.42 at June 30, 2019. State revenues increased by $48,799.90,

primarily the result of increasing FEFP revenues. Local property taxes increased $463,846.52. In

addition, the expenditures and other financing uses increased by $904,789.92, primarily from capital

transfers. The total fund balance represents 12.79 percent of revenues available to the District. Some

of the balance is restricted for State-required carryover programs ($306,021.76) and fuel tax refund

collections ($326,667.68), which leaves an assigned and unassigned fund balance of $4,992,231.98 or

11.35 percent of total revenues.

The Special Revenue – Other Fund has total revenues and expenditures of $4,102,220.05 each and the

funding was used for the continuing of Federal related education programs, primarily the Title I and

Special Education programs. Because grant revenues are not recognized until expenditures are

incurred, this fund generally does not accumulate a fund balance.

The Debt Service – Other Fund has total other financing sources and expenditures of $669,097.58 each

and ended the fiscal year with no fund balance. Expenditures were made to pay the scheduled principal

and interest costs associated with the District’s certificates of participation.

The Capital Projects – Local Capital Improvement Fund reported revenues and other financing sources

and expenditures and other financing uses of $3,058,226.33 and $2,878,423.87, respectively, and ended

the year with a fund balance of $1,343,950.81. Transfers out totaled $1,753,576.64, and of this amount,

$1,084,479.06 was transferred to the General Fund for property and casualty insurance and maintenance

salaries and expenditures and $669,097.58 was transferred to the Debt Service Fund to pay certificates

of participation debt payments.

The Capital Projects – Other Fund reported revenues and other financing sources and expenditures and

other financing uses of $339,009.87 and $252,144.03, respectively and ended the year with a fund

balance of $3,669,176.34. Impact fees totaled $120,058.44.

Proprietary Funds

Unrestricted net position of the Internal Service Fund totaled $1,898,039.19 at June 30, 2019. Operating

expenses totaled $5,334,012.63, primarily comprised of insurance claims and purchased services for the

District’s self-insurance program. Net position increased by $638,773.29.

GENERAL FUND BUDGETARY HIGHLIGHTS

The District’s budget is prepared according to Florida law and is reported on the modified accrual basis

of accounting. The most significant budgeted fund is the General Fund.

During the course of fiscal year 2018-19, the District amended its General Fund budget as needed. The

District uses school-based budgeting for non-personnel, non-energy, and non-fixed cost items. Schools

are allocated budgets based on student enrollment.

For the General Fund, differences between the final budgeted revenues and final budgeted expenditures

as compared to the original budget were insignificant. Similarly, the revenues actually collected and the

expenditures actually incurred were not significantly different from the original and final budgets. None

of these differences are expected to have a significant effect on future services or liquidity.

CAPITAL ASSETS AND LONG-TERM DEBT

Capital Assets

The District’s investment in capital assets for its governmental activities as of June 30, 2019, is

$74,359,120.45 (net of accumulated depreciation). This investment in capital assets includes land;

improvements other than buildings; buildings and fixed equipment; furniture, fixtures, and equipment;

motor vehicles; construction in progress; and computer software. The total decrease in capital assets

(net of accumulated depreciation) was $4,833,181.24, or 6.1 percent from the prior fiscal year. During

the fiscal year, the District disposed of 7,371,435.96 with a historical cost of $7,371,435.96 and

accumulated depreciation of $5,333,016.30 resulting in a loss (net of proceeds) of $2,038,419.66.

Additional information on the District’s capital assets can be found in notes to financial statements.

Long-Term Debt

At June 30, 2019, the District had total long-term debt outstanding of $6,421,138.96. The year-end

balance consists of $2,023,969.64 in bonds payable, $4,288,941.07 in certificates of participation

payable, and $108,228.25 in an installment-purchase payable.

Additional information on the District’s long-term debt can be found in notes to financial statements.

OTHER MATTERS OF SIGNIFICANCE

The primary source of revenue from the State for the District is based on the number of full-time

equivalent students (FTE). A student count is taken twice a year, October and February. Outlined below

is a 5-year history of our FTE information:

2014-15 2015-16 2016-17 2017-18 2018-19

FTE 5,382 5,414 5,436 5,501 5,391

The District operated 9 schools during the 2018-19 school year, including 4 elementary schools,

3 middle-high schools, 1 K-8 school, and 1 K-12 school. In addition, it sponsored 2 charter schools,

Whispering Winds Charter School Project, Inc. and Nature Coast Middle School, Inc.

The District is rural and has unique issues concerning the operations of 9 school sites. The Board will

continue to be vigilant in monitoring its resources to meet the demands of our public education system.

1. A Career Pathway is a coherent sequence of rigorous academic and technical courses

that prepare students for successful completion of state academic standards and

support an accelerated transition to postsecondary coursework in a related career area

of interest. A Secondary Career Pathways Student is defined as a career and technical

education student who has participated in a locally developed Program of Study that

has a written articulation agreement in place which establishes and validates the

career pathway. Such is the purpose of this articulation agreement between Santa Fe

College and School Board.

2. Courses to be provided by Santa Fe College under this Articulation Agreement will

be mutually agreed upon by Santa Fe College and School Board and will avoid

unnecessary duplication of existing courses at the secondary level. Career Pathways

course and program offerings will include those listed in Appendices 1-3, true and

correct copies of which are attached hereto and incorporated by reference herein.

Appendices 1-3 each entitled “Career Pathways Articulated Program of Study,” remain

in full force and effect for the full duration of the Articulation Agreement. Alterations

to this list of offerings may be made with mutual written consent of Santa Fe College’s

Provost and Vice President, and School Board personnel by way of letter agreement.

3. Santa Fe College will develop a student education plan for each student who has been

awarded Career Pathways college credit and has been officially enrolled at Santa Fe

College. In order to develop said plan, the student will present a high school

transcript, which will be evaluated for purposes of determining college credits to be

applied toward an Associate of Arts (A.A.) degree, Associate in Science (A.S.)

degree, Associate of Applied Science (A.A.S.) degree, technical certificate, Bachelor of

Applied Science (B.A.S.) degree, Bachelor of Science (B.S.) degree or Bachelor of Arts

(B.A.) degree. Said Associate of Arts (A.A.) degree, Associate in Science (A.S.) degree,

Associate of Applied Science (A.A.S.) degree, technical certificate, Bachelor of Applied

Science (B.A.S.) degree, Bachelor of Science (B.S.) degree or Bachelor of Arts (B.A.)

degree will be the student’s stated education objective.


B. Process for notifying students and parents of the option to participate in Career

Pathways Programs

1. Santa Fe College will provide printed, published, electronic, or other information to

the secondary schools regarding requirements for participation in, and the educational

benefits to be derived from, Career Pathways accelerated programs.

2. The secondary schools, in turn, will utilize printed, published, electronic, or other

media to notify students and their parents or guardians of the opportunity to

participate in these articulated acceleration programs. The secondary schools will

additionally provide information, using these same methods, to students and their

parents or guardians, of the eligibility criteria for participation in these programs.

3. Eligible Career Pathways students should have transcripts reviewed by the secondary

school Career and Technical Education teachers and/or guidance counselors to

determine which programs at Santa Fe College are available and appropriate.

C. Process by which students and parents exercise their option to participate

Students and the parents or guardians of students wishing to pursue participation in a Career

Pathways program should contact their secondary school guidance counselors for information

about Career Pathways.

D. Eligibility criteria for student participation*

Students may receive college credit either through comprehensive college examination or

industry certification. This college credit may or may not be accepted for transfer credit by

other institutions.
