Hemaudez, CPA Assistant Superintemlent for Business 14 HARLANDALE INDEPENDENT SCHOOL DISTRICT FINANCIAL INTEGRITY RATING SYSTEM OF TEXAS (FIRST) REPORT FOR 2014-15 Table of Contents Page Introduction 1 Overview of the Worksheet 2 Reporting Disclosures 3 FIRST Worksheet for 2014-15 4-6 Reimbursements received by Superintendent and Board Members Exhibit A 15 Introduction During the 77th regular session of the Texas Legislatme (2001 ), Senate Bill 218 was passed and Governor Perry signed it into law shortly thereafter. This law requires each school district to prepare an annual financial accountability report of the district's final rating, which is included in this repo1t and reflects a rating of "Superior Achievement". Many business-related issues are covered in this report. The primary reporting tool, however, is the Financial Accountability Ratings Worksheet. This worksheet was developed by representatives of the Texas Education Agency (TEA), the Texas Business & Education Council (TBEC) and the Texas Association of School Business Officials (TASBO). It is administered by TEA and calculated on information submitted to the Agency via our PEIMS submission each year and other documentation procured by TEA. The accuracy of PEIMS data has always been critical on the student side of the submission, and this reporting requirement adds a high degree of importance to the District's finance submission each year. The worksheet consists of 15 criteria, each weighted on a point system with the exception of the Critical Indicators. A "No" response in criteria# l, #2A, #3, #4 or #5 will automatically result in a rating of Substandard Achievement, so these first five criteria are of utmost impo1tance. Currently, the District enjoys a rating of "Superior Achievement", scoring 98 points out of a possible I 00 points on the financial accountability worksheet.
