State and federal statutes require that the School District issue annual financial reports and that such reports be audited by an independent firm of certified public accountants. Pursuant to that requirement, we hereby issue the CAFR and all appropriate disclosures for the FY ended June 30, 2007 in an effort to provide all interested parties information on the financial condition of Detroit Public Schools. Responsibility for both the accuracy of the data and the completeness and fairness of the presentation, including all disclosures, rests with the Division of Finance of the Detroit Public Schools. To provide a reasonable basis for making these representations, management of the Detroit Public Schools has established a comprehensive internal control framework that is designed both to protect the Detroit Public Schools’ assets from loss, theft, or misuse and to compile sufficient reliable information for the preparation of the School District’s financial statements in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP). As the cost of internal controls should not outweigh their benefits, the Detroit Public Schools’ comprehensive framework of internal controls has been designed to provide reasonable rather than absolute assurance that the financial statements will be free from material misstatement. To the best of our knowledge and belief, the enclosed data is accurate in all material respects and is reported in a manner designed to present fairly the financial position and results of all operations of the various government-wide and governmental funds of the School District. All disclosures necessary to enable the reader to gain an understanding of the Detroit Public Schools’ financial activities have been included. The School District’s financial statements have been audited by KPMG LLP, a firm of licensed certified public accountants. The goal of the independent audit was to provide reasonable assurance that the financial statements of the School District for the FY ended June 30, 2007 are free of material misstatement. The independent audit consisted of reviewing, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements; assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management; and evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. The independent auditor concluded, based upon the audit, that there was a reasonable basis for rendering an unqualified opinion, suggesting that the School District’s financial statements for the FY ended June 30, 2007 are fairly presented in conformity with GAAP. In addition, in accordance with Government Auditing Standards, the School District issued the federally mandated single audit, designed to meet the special needs of federal grantor agencies. The standards governing single audit engagements require the independent auditor to report on both the fair presentation of the financial statements and on the School District’s internal controls and compliance with legal i requirements, especially concerning the administration of federal awards. This report is available separately in the report on federal awards issued by the School District. Reporting Entity and Organization The Detroit Public Schools is an independent reporting entity that follows the criteria established by the Governmental Accounting Standards Board. All funds of the School District are included in this report. Budgetary Controls The adopted annual budget serves as the foundation for the School District’s financial planning and control. Enrollment projections that drive staffing and expenditure allocations for local schools are developed in February. Also in February, central office managers are given a preliminary budget, based on current activities in order to begin the Zero Based Budgeting (ZBB) process. Both the allocations and preliminary budgets are used as the starting point for budget development. A proposed budget prepared by the schools and central office department heads approved by the budget department is presented to the General Superintendent and his/her Cabinet for review. After review by the General Superintendent and Cabinet, the proposed budget is reviewed by the Board of Education Finance, Budget and Title I Committee, after review is completed, and approved, the proposed budget is displayed for three days in June for public viewing, after which a public hearing is held in late June. The budget is then adopted by the Board of Education on July 1st of each year. The budget presentation and the adopted budget are then posted to the School District’s Web site along with updates at various times throughout the year to provide public access and viewing. Management is responsible for maintaining budgetary controls to ensure that budgets are in compliance with the legal provisions of the State of Michigan Uniform Budgeting and Accounting Act, and within the annual appropriations adopted by the General Superintendent. Detailed line item budgetary reports are provided to the appropriate managers, who have been delegated the responsibility for monitoring and controlling their respective budget allocations. The School District’s financial accounting system allows budget managers online access to their budget, expenditure,

  • WSU University Relations Division Records
    University Relations Division Collection Papers, 1936-1977 (predominantly, 1949-1977) 64.5 linear feet Accession # 5 OCLC # DALNET # The papers of the University Relations Division reflect the activities of Wayne’s public relations offices. They consist of press releases, photographs, correspondence, minutes, reports, and clippings. The papers focus on general subjects, including the promotion of the United States Bicentennial, Wayne's Centennial, the Michigan Legislature's allocation and Wayne's budget, and Wayne's athletics program. The Division underwent several name changes to more accurately reflect its services. In the 1940s it was called the Community Relations Program and aimed to establish a working relationship between the University and any group or individual within the community with the intent of selling the University as a service institution to the community. In August of 1949, all University activities and programs related to public communication and interpretation of the University’s work were integrated to form the Division of Community Relations under the direction of Percival Dodge. The new division included the Office of Press Relations, Wayne University Speakers’ Bureau, and the Office of Community Services. William E. Stirton replaced Dodge as the director on July 1, 1952. Frank X. Tuohey replaced Stirton in October of 1955. The Office of Press Relations and Publication Services, under Tuohey’s direction, assisted all units of the University in internal and external relations projects. The office was divided into art, printing, publications, and press relations. The primary function of the Office of Press Relations was to interpret the University to the community through all available media such as newspapers, magazines, radio and television.

  • Practicing Medicine in Ancient Egypt
    Practicing Medicine in Ancient Egypt Michael R. Zimmerman March 28, 2017 Michael Zimmerman is Adjunct Professor of Biology at Villanova University, Lecturer in Anthropology at the University of Pennsylvania, and Visiting Professor at the University of Manchester (UK) KNH Centre for Biomedical Egyptology. et us start by imagining what Albert Einstein called a “thought experiment.” It is the year 5015 CE L and an excavation of an ancient hospital, ca. 2016 CE, uncovers an ancient book, written on paper rather than on the current electronic device. Although the book is in poor condition there is a partial hieroglyphic title, transcribed by an Egyptologist and a paleopathologist as Merck Manual. The book seems to be a compilation of disease descriptions and treatments by a long forgotten Dr. Merck. The diseases are difficult to decipher in an era when humans live to the age of 150 and die only when aged organs fail. It appears that the body could be attacked by minute parasitic organisms, visible only with an ancient tool called a “microscope.” Some cells appear to have taken on a life of their own, destroying the body by causing diseases known by a variety of poorly preserved terms such as “cancer” or “neoplasm.” The task of our future paleopathologist is analogous to that of the difficult undertaking of deciphering ancient Egyptian medical papyri. There are a number of surviving papyri, in various degrees of completeness, which have been studied by physicians and Egyptologists. They have done remarkably well, particularly in that the writing is mostly in the difficult hieratic rather than hieroglyphic text.

  • For Immediate Release Dso Celebrates Conclusion of Orchestra Hall Centennial with Unveiling of Artist Ken Aptekar's I Hear An
    FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE DSO CELEBRATES CONCLUSION OF ORCHESTRA HALL CENTENNIAL WITH UNVEILING OF ARTIST KEN APTEKAR’S I HEAR AN ECHO Commissioned by Gary L. Wasserman & Charles A. Kashner in honor of DSO President and CEO Anne Parsons, painting will remain on display in the William Davidson Atrium of the Max M. and Marjorie S. Fisher Music Center Detroit, (October 26, 2020) – On Friday, the Detroit Symphony Orchestra (DSO) unveiled a new work by celebrated artist Ken Aptekar titled I hear an echo (2020). The painting, which references Orchestra Hall’s opening in 1919 and DSO’s then-music director Ossip Gabrilowitsch, was commissioned by Gary L. Wasserman & Charles A. Kashner as a tribute to the Orchestra Hall centennial and in honor of DSO President and CEO Anne Parsons. The unveiling ceremony took place on Orchestra Hall’s 101st birthday, Friday, October 23 at 6:30 p.m. for a small number of socially distanced guests in the William Davidson Atrium of the Max M. and Marjorie S. Fisher Music Center (The Max), where the painting will remain on display and viewable through the DSO’s front doors on Woodward Avenue. This partnership exemplifies the DSO’s collaborative spirit and shared vision for combining and supporting arts, artists, and culture of all kinds at The Max. The ceremony also featured a performance by DSO Acting Concertmaster Kimberly Kaloyanides Kennedy. Born and raised in Detroit, Aptekar is the son of art and music educators and credits the DSO and the Detroit Institute of Arts (DIA) as “keys to who [he] became as an artist.” He grew up attending DSO concerts at the orchestra’s then home of Ford Auditorium under music director Paul Paray, but heard DSO recordings from Orchestra Hall and longed to experience the outstanding acoustics firsthand.
