The District’s Business Office prepared this report. Responsibility for both the accuracy of the data presented and the completeness and fairness of the presentation, including all disclosure, rests with the District. We believe the data as presented is accurate in all material aspects; that it 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 have been included. The CAFR is presented in three sections: introductory, financial, and statistical. The introductory section includes the transmittal letter, the District’s organizational chart and a list of principal officials. The financial section includes the management’s discussion and analysis as well as the basic financial statements including government-wide financial statements, governmental funds and other supplemental information. Also included is the auditors’ report on the financial statements and schedules. The statistical section includes selected financial and demographic information, generally presented on a multiyear basis. Management’s discussion and analysis (MD&A) immediately follows the independent auditors’ report and provides a narrative introduction, overview, and analysis of the basic financial statements. The MD&A complements this letter of transmittal and should be read in conjunction with it. This report includes all funds of the District. For all governmental fund types, the District reports on a modified accrual basis of accounting, which is applied to the District’s budget and accounting records. The notes to the financial statements expand upon the modified accrual basis as well as the District’s accounting policies and procedures. All District funds are included in this report and have been audited by McGill, Power, Bell & Associates, LLP. iii Profile of the District Demographic Information The Conneaut School District is located in northwest Pennsylvania's Crawford County and geographically encompasses approximately the western third of the county.
