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.

A. Courses and programs available to students eligible for Career Pathways
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.
