Responsibility for both the accuracy of the data and completeness and fairness of the presentation, including all disclosures, rests with the management of the Board of Education (“Board”). To the best of our knowledge and belief, the data presented in this report is accurate in all material respects and is reported in a manner designed to present fairly the financial position of the governmental activities, the business-type activities, each major fund and the aggregate remaining fund information at June 30, 2013, and the respective changes in financial position and cash flows, where applicable, for the year then ended. All disclosures necessary to enable the reader to gain an understanding of the District’s financial activities have been included. The CAFR is presented in four sections: introductory, financial, statistical, and single audit. The introductory section includes this transmittal letter (designed to complement Management’s Discussion and Analysis and should be read in conjunction with it), the District’s organizational chart, a roster of officials, independent auditors and advisors and the certificate of excellence in financial reporting. The financial section includes Management’s Discussion and Analysis, basic financial statements, required supplementary information and supplementary information, as well as the auditors’ report therein. The statistical section includes selected financial and demographic information, generally presented on a multi-year basis and is unaudited. The District is required to undergo an annual single audit in conformity with the provisions of the Single Audit Act Amendments of 1996 and the U.S. Office of Management and Budget Circular A-133, “Audits of States, Local Governments, and Nonprofit Organizations,” and the New Jersey OMB Circular 04-04, “Single Audit Policy for Recipients of Federal Grants, State Grants, and State Aid Payments.” Information related to this single audit, including the independent auditors’ reports on internal control and compliance with applicable laws and regulations and findings and questioned costs, is included in the single audit section of this report. 1 1. Reporting Entity and Its Services The Princeton Public Schools is an independent reporting entity within the criteria adopted by the Governmental Accounting Standards Board (GASB). All funds and the government-wide financial statements of the District are included in this report. The Princeton 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 PK through 12. These include regular education as well as special education for handicapped students. The District sends its vocational students to county vocational schools, which are more suited to provide that type of educational program. The District completed the 2012-2013 fiscal year with an average daily enrollment of 3,415 students, which is 37 students more than the previous year's average daily enrollment. The following chart details the changes in the average daily student enrollment of the District over the last five years: Average Daily Enrollment Fiscal Student Percent Year Enrollment Change 2012-13 3,415 1.10% 2011-12 3,378 (0.09) 2010-11 3,381 1.23 2009-10 3,340 (0.95) 2008-09 3,372 0.87 2. Economic Condition and Outlook The municipalities within the Princeton Public Schools, Princeton Township and Princeton Borough, both went through a property re-evaluation in 2010. The property values in both communities more or less doubled. Apparently, the tax for some residents increased while other residents' taxes decreased. The impact of this re-evaluation did not affect the budget of the school district. The two communities consolidated as of January 1, 2013 and this consolidation caused shifts in tax for some residents as well. The economy in the Princeton communities is flat and home properties are somewhat holding their value. Most of the undeveloped
