A Briefing Report on School District Debt Key Points of Report A Briefing Report on School District Debt February 1998 Overall Conclusion The magnitude of tax-supported, long-term school district debt may have implications to the State and to school districts. It is imperative that interested parties have complete and accurate information on school district debt and management and monitoring practices. Texas independent school districts throughout the State are experiencing rapid growth in student enrollment. To meet the demands of the increasing student population, these school districts are financing facility renovations and building new facilities by issuing debt. During our research of school district long-term debt we found issues that legislative leaders, the Texas Education Agency, and school district administrators and board members should consider. Issues for Further Consideration C The Texas Education Agency should develop guidelines for school districts to use when reporting accretion on capital appreciation bonds in the independent school districts’ annual financial reports. Long-term debt is understated in school districts’ annual financial reports due in part to a lack of specific guidance on the treatment of capital appreciation bond accretion. C The Permanent School Fund’s insurance capacity should be increased. Without an increase in the amount of bonds the Fund can insure it will reach capacity by 2002. As a result, school districts may be forced to purchase insurance from private companies at an increased cost. As of August 31, 1996, 84 percent of school district bonds were insured through the Fund. C The $300 fee charged by the Texas Education Agency to participate in the Permanent School Fund insurance program should be adjusted to reflect the costs of the program. C Texas should consider formulating a statewide policy on school district long-term debt management. School district debt is a local issue, controlled by local school boards. While complete state oversight of school district debt is not appropriate, the long-range impact of increasing school debt could have statewide implications. Contact Carol A.

School districts report bonds payable in the General Long Term Debt Account Group (GLTDAG) in accordance with generally accepted government accounting principles. Additional information, such as description of new issues and refundings, are disclosed in the Notes to the Financial Statements (Notes). Debt service payments are also disclosed in the Notes in the form of a Debt Service Schedule. School districts can: & Report the annual CAB accretion in the GLTDAG. & Disclose the accretion in the Notes to the Financial Statements. & Not report or disclose the accretion at all. (Most school districts have chosen not to report or disclose the accretion, with a few disclosing the accretion in the Notes and even fewer reporting the accretion on their balance sheet.) Although most school districts have not recognized their future liability on the balance sheet, they have not totally ignored it either. Future CAB principal and interest payments are included in the debt service schedules in the Notes to the AFRs. To pay for the CABs as they mature, school districts normally include the maturity amount in the school district's budget in the year of maturity.

You are not alone. Many agencies try to help people get out of debt. These are called “credit counseling agencies” or “debt counseling agencies.” You should be very careful about consumer credit counseling. Many agencies do more harm than good. What services does a credit counseling agency offer? Credit counseling usually offers three services. • Budget counseling to help you pay your debts on your own. • A debt management plan, or debt repayment plan, run by the agency. • Referral to other agencies, such as social, financial and legal services. What is a debt management plan? In this plan, the agency arranges lower payments with your creditors. Usually these are your credit cards. Your payments are lower because your creditors agree on lower interest rates. When all the creditors who are in your plan agree, you make one monthly payment to the agency. The agency uses that money to make your lower payments to your creditors. When should I think about a debt management plan? You should think about a plan if two things are true. (1) You can’t pay all your bills and debts, and can’t keep current on all your accounts. (2) You have income or property you could lose to a creditor.

  • Tips on Choosing a Reputable Credit Counseling Agency
    NATIONAL CONSUMER LAW Consumer CENTER INC 77 Summer Street, 10th Fl Boston, MA 02110 for Older 617 542-8010 www.nclc.org Facts Americans Tips on Choosing A Reputable Credit Counseling Agency There have been a lot of problems with credit counseling agencies in recent years. For example, the vast majority of credit counseling agencies are non-profit organizations, yet many behave like for-profit businesses. These non-profits in disguise spend huge amounts of money on advertising and aggressively try to sell “debt relief” products to consumers. You should be careful if you think you want to go to a credit counseling agency for help with credit card debt. Credit counseling can be very useful in some cases. Unfortunately, not all credit counseling agencies are acting in your best interests. Below are a few tips to help you decide whether credit counseling is right for you and to help you find a reputable agency. Do You Need a Credit Counseling Agency? 1. Are You In Financial Trouble? Some warning signs of financial trouble are clearer than others. For example, if you are consistently late in paying bills or are already behind in paying some debts, you probably know that you need help. Other warning signs of financial trouble are not so obvious. If your total debt payments, excluding your mortgage and car, are between one-quarter and one-half of your after-tax income, you could benefit from credit counseling or other forms of financial assistance. You should consider seeking assistance even if you are current on all bills.

In January 2013, the State was awarded a “AAA” rating from Fitch Ratings, Inc., the agency’s highest rating. Fitch joined Standard and Poor’s (whom upgraded the State to AAA in December 2011) and Moody’s Investors Service (whom upgraded the State to Aaa in November 2010) as recognizing the strength of the State’s current strong fiscal position. The ability of the State to maintain this elite position is a function of many factors including: financial management, moderate debt levels and strong and responsible leadership. A carefully considered debt management plan can be a useful tool to policy leaders and government professionals to determine appropriate levels of debt while meeting the need of funding the State’s capital program The State of Alaska is unique in both its strengths and challenges.

  • Debt Relief Services & the Telemarketing Sales Rule
    DEBT RELIEF SERVICES & THE TELEMARKETING SALES RULE: A Guide for Business Federal Trade Commission | ftc.gov Many Americans struggle to pay their credit card bills. Some turn to businesses offering “debt relief services” – for-profit companies that say they can renegotiate what consumers owe or get their interest rates reduced. The Federal Trade Commission (FTC), the nation’s consumer protection agency, has amended the Telemarketing Sales Rule (TSR) to add specific provisions to curb deceptive and abusive practices associated with debt relief services. One key change is that many more businesses will now be subject to the TSR. Debt relief companies that use telemarketing to contact poten- tial customers or hire someone to call people on their behalf have always been covered by the TSR. The new Rule expands the scope to cover not only outbound calls – calls you place to potential customers – but in-bound calls as well – calls they place to you in response to advertisements and other solicita- tions. If your business is involved in debt relief services, here are three key principles of the new Rule: ● It’s illegal to charge upfront fees. You can’t collect any fees from a customer before you have settled or other- wise resolved the consumer’s debts. If you renegotiate a customer’s debts one after the other, you can collect a fee for each debt you’ve renegotiated, but you can’t front-load payments. You can require customers to set aside money in a dedicated account for your fees and for payments to creditors and debt collectors, but the new Rule places restrictions on those accounts to make sure customers are protected.

  • Need Help with Debts?
    Need Help with Debts? Don’t get burned by scammers – know the facts about debt relief! March 2018 Print in PDF Debt relief is the generic name for different ways you can manage your bills. This fact sheet covers different types of debt relief and what you should watch out for. Debt relief scammers often target people in financial distress, such as those affected by a natural disaster. So people looking for assistance after a hurricane, flood, or fire should be especially cautious about scams. DEBT SETTLEMENT Companies offering debt settlement tell you to pay them instead of your creditors. They promise that if you make payments to them instead. They will settle your debts for a smaller lump sum payment once you have saved enough money in a special account. What you should know: Companies charge monthly fees for debt settlement plans, often for years. Debt collectors will keep calling you and may even sue you if you stop paying them. Your bills will keep growing with interest and late fees until there is a settlement (if there ever is one). If a debt settlement plan works, it can take years to complete, but many people drop out because they can’t afford it. There are no guarantees. Your creditors don’t have to agree to accept a smaller lump sum payment. and some will not even talk to debt settlement firms. Debt settlement is unlikely to help you resolve your debts, and you may even end up owing more than when you started. DEBT CONSOLIDATION Some companies offer to help you combine all your old bills into one new, bigger loan.

  • What You Should Know About Bankruptcy
    FACTS FOR OLDER CONSUMERS National Consumer Law Center® What You Should Know About Bankruptcy What Is Bankruptcy? Bankruptcy is a process under federal law designed to help people and businesses get protection from their creditors. An important goal of bankruptcy is to give individuals with debt problems a chance for a fresh financial start. For some elders, bankruptcy does this by eliminating the legal obligation to pay debts. Others gain an opportunity to get current on mortgages and car loans or to pay off debts at a reduced amount. Filing bank- ruptcy also immediately stops most creditors from seeking to collect debts, at least until things are sorted out in the bankruptcy process. Things to Think About Before Deciding Whether to File A decision to file bankruptcy should be made only after determining that bankruptcy is the best way to deal with your financial problems. Other options to deal with unmanage- able debt usually should be considered first. • Credit Counseling When done well, credit counseling can be very helpful for consumers in financial distress. Unfortunately, there are many people who offer counseling and credit repair in order to rip you off. You should be careful to avoid scams and offers of costly debt consolidation plans as a way out of debt. Most of these deals will only make your situation worse. If you decide to go ahead with bankruptcy, the law requires that you meet with an ap- proved credit counseling agency first to consider your options in credit counseling. You should be very careful in choosing an agency for the required counseling.
