The statistical section includes selected financial and demographic information, generally presented on a multiyear basis. The District is required to undergo an annual single audit in conformity with the provisions of the Single Audit Act of 1984 and amendments of 1996 and the U.S. Office of Management and Budget Circular A-133, Audits of States, Local Governments and Non-Profit Organizations; and New Jersey OMB' s Circular Letter 04-04, Single Audit Policy for Recipients of Federal Grants, State Grants and State Aid, and are not a required part of the general-purpose financial statements. Information related to this single audit, including the auditor's report on the internal control structure and compliance with applicable laws, regulations, findings and recommendations, are included in the single audit section of this report. -2- 1) REPORTING ENTITY AND ITS SERVICES: The Jamesburg District is an independent reporting entity within the criteria adopted by the GASB as established by NCGA ST. No.3. All funds and account groups of the District are included in this report. The Jamesburg Board of Education and all its schools constitute the District's reporting entity. The District provides a full range of educational services appropriate to grade levels K through 8. These include regular and vocational; as well as special education for handicapped youngsters. The District completed the 2013-2014 fiscal year with an enrollment of 643 students, which is 28 students more the previous year's enrollment. The following details the changes in the student enrollment of the District over the last five years. AVERAGE DAlLY ENROLLMENT Fiscal Year Student Enrollment Percent Change 2013-2014 643 4.55% 2012-2013 615 -3.45% 2011-2012 637 -2.90% 2010-2011 656 5.63% 2009-2010 621 .016% 2008-2009 620 -1.43% 2.) ECONOMIC CONDITION AND OUTLOOK: The Jamesburg area is experiencing stability in real estate values after a previous period of declining real estate values. There has also been a steady increase in new business/restaurant opportunities after a previous decrease in the number of businesses relocating to the area, resulting in an increase in employment opportunities and in commercial tax base and ratables. 3.) MAJOR INITIATIVES: The Jamesburg Board of Education has met state mandated requirements for education and passed its periodical monitoring review. As part of its governance initiatives for the 2013-14 and 2014-15 school years, the Board has emphasized the importance of building maintenance by developing a comprehensive action plan to keep school facilities in the best condition possible. The plan includes the creation of a Supervisor of Building and Grounds position, developing ongoing building maintenance schedules, creating an annual painting calendar, and aggressively securing resources necessary to correct current deficiencies across the two buildings. In addition, the Board is investigating updating of the district's phone system and improving security by installing additional security cameras both inside and outside of the buildings.
