Message from the Board of Education Chair Eldon Van Den Bossche

Horizon School Division #205 continues to experience outstanding growth and success. The Board of Education is extremely grateful for the commitment and contributions of students, staffs, parents and communities. Student success remains the top priority for Horizon and we are seeing the positive results of the tremendous efforts that place Horizon among the highest achieving school divisions in . Highlights of the year include the continued rollout of a comprehensive technology plan, support and capacity building of School Community Councils, renewal of the Strategic Plan, signing the LINC agreement and moving forward with our partners to construct a new high school in Humboldt. On March 18, 2009, the provincial government announced significant changes to the funding of education in Saskatchewan. At present there exists considerable uncertainty as to how we will manage the transition period and what the future solution may be. I want to assure you that your Board of Education will do it’s utmost to ensure the future sustainability of Horizon School Division. I thank you all for helping Horizon to be “A Community of Learning and Achieving”.

Message from the Director of Education Marc Danylchuk Horizon School Division comes of age! We are pleased with the tremendous progress evident during the 2008-2009 school and fiscal year. The school division remains focused on the Board’s Strategic Goals: · Focus on Learning v Student Success v Effective Instruction and Administration v Supportive Professional Climate · Engaged Parents, Staff and Communities · Fiscal Accountability and Sustainability We continue to consider data on student achievement from a variety of sources with the deliberate intention of using that data to celebrate successes as well as focus efforts at improving student learning outcomes. These efforts are focused through Learning Improvement Plans developed at the school level and supported by each School Community Council. A new LINC (Local Implementation and Negotiating Committee) agreement was achieved after considerable time and effort at the negotiation table. The LINC agreement brings together seven separate agreements and is a major accomplishment for the School Division. The fact that the overwhelming majority of teachers (95% or better) voted in favor of the agreement augers well for a positive climate and an attractive workplace. Once again our fiscal prudence allowed us to enjoy a surplus as indicated in our Annual Financial Statement. We remain extremely proud of our students and staff who make this school division a great place to learn and grow! We look forward to another year of growth and achievement as we implement new curricula, deploy improved technology into our schools and pilot new learning initiatives.

Chief Financial Officer Vince Gaudet

The Horizon School Division 2008 – 2009 Audited Financial Statement has been completed and was approved by the Board of Education on December 16, 2009. The division experienced a significant consolidated surplus this year of $3,585,651. The Operating Fund, which contains our major revenue and expenditures, had a surplus of $5,212,291 and our Capital Fund operated in a deficit position of ($1,626,734).

2008 – 2009 consolidated revenues were budgeted at $70,608,103 while actual revenues received amounted to $76,996,485. The resulting variance of $6,388,382 is attributed to the following: * Receipt of $3,231,291 in Education Property Tax Rebate. * Unbudgeted School Generated Funds revenue totaling $2,594,664 * $562,427 of additional revenues due to enhanced Federal/Provincial Grants, Sales & Rentals and Miscellaneous Revenues.

Consolidated expenditures for 2008 – 2009 were budgeted at $70,200,446 while actual expenditures totaled $73,410,834. The variance of $3,210,388 is due to the following:

* Over expenditures in the Administration ($263,448), Plant Operation & Maintenance ($3,359,304), School Generated Funds ($2,586,257) and External Services ($35,464) areas due to: o Staff salary/benefit negotiations o Increased costs for annual audit, advertising, computer equipment o Purchase of FAME software o Purchase of risk management reports through SunCorp o Completion of deferred maintenance projects o Implementation of PSAB guidelines (SGF)

* Under expenditures in Governance ($213,640), Instructional ($1,987,911), Student Transportation ($348,490), Tuition and Related Fees ($191,536) and Interest and Bank Charges ($292,508) areas due to: o Unexpended SCC Governance allotments o Unfulfilled Instructional staffing compliments (Ed-Psych, SLP, OT) o Unexpended School Decentralized budgets o New Bus purchases resulting in reduced repairs o Reduced number of student migrating from the division in turn reduced tuition fees o Improved cash flow as a result of timely Provincial Foundation Grant payments lead to reduced bank interest charges

Recognition I take this opportunity to recognize and thank the staff of Horizon School Division for their continued service to the students, parents and electors of the division. Their dedicated efforts in delivering a superlative educational system in the face of escalating fiscal challenges remains very much noticed and appreciated.

1. Invoices/Payments The finance department processes approximately 1,900 invoices every month. We ensure that every invoice has proper authorization for approval (e.g. purchase order, Principal and/or Superintendent authorization) before the invoice is processed for payment.

Horizon School Division processes payments from approximately 3,000 vendors.

During 2008-09, the finance department generated approximately12,000 cheques and electronic funds transfers (EFT) for payment.

3. Staff Education/Training The finance department consist of 5.5 FTE. A tremendous amount of time has been focused on professional training and the development of controls and procedures to assist central office and school based staff. We have also incorporated management strategies to increase efficiencies and reduce financial risk to the school division.

4. Public Sector Accounting Board (PSAB) The Public Sector Accounting Board (PSAB) implementation has been endorsed by the Ministry effective September 1, 2008.

We have hosted professional development seminars with school based employees to assist in the reporting of school generated funds. We have also provided on site support to school secretaries. School based accounting software (Quick Books Pro 2008) has been installed at every school to provide consisted reporting throughout the division.

In addition to the audited financial statement requirement, Horizon School Division in one of thirteen school division in the province selected to provide Summary Financial Statements to the Provincial Auditor.

Technology

The Horizon School Division employs several staff that are dedicated to technology: a Technology Coordinator, a Network Analyst and seven Computer Technicians.

In addition, there are two Learning Technologists who work directly with students and assist teachers in bringing technology into the classrooms.

Currently we have approximately 420 laptops, 2725 desktops and 60 servers.

Technology decisions are made through a Technology Committee comprised of representation from Executive Council, the Technology Coordinator, the Network Analyst, a Computer Technician, Learning Technologists and school representatives from the elementary, middle years, secondary and principal levels.

Some of the achievements in technology throughout the 2008-2009 year were:

* Computer lab replacements in eight schools (Annaheim, Lake Lenore, Three Lakes – Middle Lake, Watson, Watrous Elementary, Watrous Winston High, William Derby – Strasbourg, Punnichy Community High). * New network wiring installed at William Derby -Strasbourg and Punnichy Community High. There remains 28 facilities that require network wiring. * Ongoing meetings towards the development of a Horizon School Division Learning Technology Plan and a Hardware Division Wide Replacement Plan. * New laptops for 12 principals. * Delivery of several courses through distance education. * Training for computer technicians to become Apple certified. * Purchase of Maplewood, a common student information system with implementation effective fall 2009. * Purchase of L4U library automation system including a new computer and printer for each library (this software was a newly released version which has created several issues that we continue to work with the vendor to resolve). * Membership in Experts Exchange; an on-line source for trouble shooting for technicians. * The Communications Manager developed a new website which has become a valuable source of information for staff, parents and the general public on Horizon School Division. * Planning towards purchasing of equipment to provide a wireless solution in all facilities.

Human Resources Reports

Initiatives: The Teacher Orientation Program that was implemented in the 2006 - 2007 school year was continued during the 2008 - 2009 school year. This program is one that was established in collaboration with the Horizon Teachers' Association and it has provided networking opportunities for teachers new to Horizon School Division. An orientation program for Principals and Vice-Principals remains a work in progress.

A CUPE Agreement for the period January 2006 – August 2008 was ratified in February 2008. This Agreement brought a total of seven previous Agreements together and has provided for more equitable working conditions and benefits among all CUPE employees. Further negotiations with CUPE representatives will commence in the near future. Agreements have also been negotiated with Bus Drivers and Contractors.

LINC negotiations resulted in a two year Agreement, effective August 15, 2009.

Staffing Data for the 2008-2009 School Year As the numbers in the following table illustrate, staffing our schools with the professional and support staff who are essential in meeting the needs of our students, consumes a considerable portion of time from both the Superintendents of Human Resources and from the Area Superintendents. When one keeps in mind that each new contract involves interview processes of one half day or more, the accumulative time that staffing requires becomes clear.

Supervisor of Payroll Corinne Thoms

The payroll department pays approximately 975 regular employees on the 25th of the month and 350 substitute teachers and casuals on the 10th of the month. Throughout the year the payroll department does many changes to employees' monthly payroll. Changes include adding new employees, terminating employees, changing employee benefits, and changing employee's rate of pay.

The payroll department also receives a month end report from 44 schools, 1 division office, 2 service centers, and bus drivers. From this report we pay the substitute teachers and casual staff. From the month end report we also keep track of employee absenteeism. For the 2008-2009 school year we had 21,263 absences to enter.

With the implementation of PSAB, school divisions are required to add future employee benefits to the financial statements. The payroll department completed spreadsheets on all the staff including employee name, job title, date of birth, seniority date, rate of pay, FTE, hours and days worked per year and sick leave balances for December 2006, December 2007, December 2008 and the type of benefits employees have and sent that information to the Actuary to determine the calculation of benefits. . The payroll department calculated retro payments for the following agreements:

* The Last Mountain Bus Drivers settled on an agreement from July 1, 2008 to June 30, 2009 on January 27, 2009. The payroll department calculated retro pay for the 14 employees for 5 months.

* The Ituna Bus Drivers negotiated an agreement from January 1, 2008 to June 30, 2009. The agreement was reached on December 31, 2008. We calculated retro for 5 bus drivers for 9 months.

* The Non-CUPE staff negotiated agreements for January 2009 to August 31, 2010. The agreement was reached in April 2009. The payroll department calculated retro pay for 13 employees for 9 months.

* A Teacher LINC agreement was signed May 6, 2009 effective for the 2009-2010 school year. Upon ratification on May 6, 2009 itinerant teachers were entitled to a new calculation of their special allowance. Payroll recalculated the special allowance for our 28 itinerant staff.

Members of School Community Councils include parents, community members, students and school staff. School Community Councils encourage, enhance and facilitate parent and community engagement in schools by focusing on improvement and continuous growth.

Annual meetings and elections for School Community Councils were held during January and February across Horizon School Division. Forty-one School Community Councils operated in Horizon School Division during the 2008 – 2009 school year. Each council consisted of between five and nine elected representatives including both parents and community members. Workshops for SCC development were held in Humboldt and Wadena in March. School Community Councils continue to evolve and grow as they fulfill their roles and responsibilities.

Professional Learning Communities

Horizon School Division identified professional learning communities (PLC’s) as a means to improve student learning. On four days in the 2008 – 2009 school year, teachers met as grade alike/subject alike teams within the four quadrants of the school division. Through their PLC’s, teachers identified essential learning outcomes, current levels of student achievement, set achievement goals and researched best practices to improve teaching strategies and student learning.

Learning Improvement Plans

Each school in Horizon School Division is required to develop a learning improvement plan (LIP). The intent of these plans is to strategically plan for improved student learning and well- being in each school. The development of the plan is undertaken by the school staff along with the input and involvement of the School Community Council. Goals are identified and action plans are developed in the areas of reading, mathematics and student well-being. Learning Improvement Plans are reviewed on an ongoing basis.

Partnerships During the 2008-09 school year many of the established partnership continued to serve the needs of students in the Horizon School Division. Schools and communities continue to be actively involved in the local Buddies Programs in Kelvington and Wadena, and with provincial programs such as In Motion and Nutrition Positive. Partnerships with various businesses continue to augment the learning that is happening in schools especially in the area of Career and Work Exploration credits for students at the grade 10, 11 and 12 levels.AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA

The Career Transition Project in Punnichy Community High School introduced Trades and Skills Training during the months of March to June, 2009. A lease agreement was reached with the Village of Punnichy to rent the Curling rink for this 4 month time period. The mission of the project states that “as partners we work collaboratively to ensure every student has the opportunity to succeed, proudly building on strengths and celebrating diversity, in a mutually respectful atmosphere.” The goals of the program was to help students gain experience and skills that will help students to be successful in the next step of their life and to enable students to earn credits toward post-secondary education. Programs were offered in the Carpentry and Human Services areas. The program was a huge success with students securing high school credits, apprenticeship hours, SIAST modules and various safety tickets, all of which will help to better prepare students for the transition from school to work.AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA

Much of the 2008-09 school year was devoted to the planning of the new HCI School which is jointly administered between Greater School Division (St. Paul's RCSSD) and Horizon School Division. The school divisions and communities held a number of consultative meetings throughout the year as the planning stage unfolded. Many thanks to all of those who attended various meetings and who provided positive feedback to the Joint Operating Committee (JOC).aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa

Administrator of Student Activities (ASA)aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa

The Administrator of Student Activities (ASA) assists our schools' staff and students with extra-curricular planning and execution. The ASA frees coaches and supervisors from many administrative duties associated with coaching, and thus allows coaches and supervisors to focus on teaching and coaching. The contributions of the ASA position helps retain and encourage recruitment of coaches/supervisors for extra-curricular activities.aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa

Our schools continued to run strong extra-curricular programs in 2008-2009. Students had a wide variety of activities to choose from, and due to our smaller school sizes, a very high percentage of our students had the opportunity to take part.aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa

Our teacher and other staff volunteers continued to selflessly dedicate large amounts of their personal time to ensure our students had such opportunities, and to ensure these opportunities were of high quality.

The Board must be commended for their continued support of extra-curricular activities through funding assistance to the programs, the renewal of the ASA position, and the understanding that such programs are an essential piece of the well-rounded educational needs of our students.

Auditor's Report and Financial Statement

Of the Horizon School Division School Division No. 2050500

For the Period Ending: August 31, 2009

Vincent Gaudet Chief Financial Officer

Breen & Associates, Chartered Accountants Auditor

Note - Copy to be sent to Ministry of Education, Regina HORIZON SCHOOL DIVISION NO. 205

NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

AUGUST 31, 2009

1. AUTHORITY AND PURPOSE:

Pursuant to Ministerial Order in 2005, Horizon School Division No. 205 was created and its Board of Education elected June 15, 2005. The new school division was created to amalgamate certain existing school divisions (or portions thereof) on January 1, 2006. On this date, the Board assumed full legal and operational responsibility related to the former disestablished Humboldt Public School Division No. 104, Humboldt Rural School Division No. 47, Lanigan School Division No. 40, Lakeview School Division No. 142, Sask Central School Division No. 121, and Wakaw School Division No. 48 (except St. Louis Community School).

The Board of Education of the Horizon School Division No. 205 of Saskatchewan delivers education programs under the authority of Section 87 of The Education Act, 1995.

The Board is responsible for administering and managing the educational affairs of the School Division in accordance with the intent of The Education Act, 1995 and Regulations.

2. SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES:

a. Basis of Accounting and Presentation ( These financial statements have been prepared in accordance with The Education Act, 1995 and are considered appropriate for Saskatchewan School Divisions.

The Ministry of Education implemented Public Sector Accounting Board (PSAB) standards for and has adopted this reporting basis for the September 1, to August 31, 2009 fiscal year. The recording of Physical Assets, annual amortization and accumulated amortization is to be adopted retroactively in accordance with PSAB recommendations effective September 1, 2009 for the fiscal year September 1, 2009 to August 31, 2010.

b. Fund Accounting

A fund is a separate self-balancing group of accounts provided for each accounting entity established within the accounting system to segregate those transactions of a particular activity. The funds established by the school division are:

Operating Fund — The Operating Fund contains the current revenues, expenditures, assets and liabilities pertaining to the general operations of the school division.

Capital Fund — The Capital Fund contains the capital assets, which are property and equipment, other capital related assets and long-term debt, transactions relating to capital fund activities, and the equity in capital fund assets. Page 2 HORIZON SCHOOL DIVISION NO. 205

NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

AUGUST 31, 2009

2. SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES — continued:

b. Fund Accounting - continued

Reserve Fund (Other Funds) — The Reserve Fund contains assets, liabilities, transactions and fund balances of reserves that have been designated for anticipated future costs of planned projects.

Reserves consist of externally restricted funds received by the Board and/or internally restricted reserves are created by authorization of the Board of Education. Contributions to, and expenditures from, reserves are made in accordance with terms and conditions established by the donor (externally restricted) or the Board (internally restricted).

Interfund debt represents funds that have been advanced to and is owing from one fund to another.

c. Cash and Cash Equivalents

Cash and cash equivalents consists of cash on hand, cash in banks, and short-term investments, less bank indebtedness.

d. Physical Assets

Physical assets are recorded at cost in the Capital Fund and are not depreciated. The cost of repairs, maintenance and replacement for existing equipment are recorded as expenditures in the year.

The original asset cost is written off against the equity of the Capital Fund when the assets are disposed of or its useful economic life has expired.

That portion of asset acquisitions financed from current operations is included in interfund transfers for capital expenditures of the operating fund. That portion of asset acquisitions financed from reserves is included in interfund transfers for capital expenditures of the other funds.

Proceeds for the disposal of capital assets, grants and other revenues received for the purchase of capital assets are recorded as revenue of the Capital Fund. Funding for capital acquisitions provided by the Operating Fund and/or the Reserve Fund is included in interfund transfers.

e. Long-Term Investments

Long-term investments are stated at cost unless there has been a permanent impairment in their value, in which case the investment is stated at market value. Page 3 HORIZON SCHOOL DIVISION NO. 205

NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

AUGUST 31, 2009

2. SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES — continued:

f. Net-Financial Assets

Net-financial assets at the end of an accounting period are the net amount of financial assets less liabilities outstanding. Financial assets represent items such as cash and those other assets on hand which could provide resources to discharge existing liabilities or finance future operations. These include realizable assets which are convertible to cash and not intended for consumption in the normal course of operations.

g. Employee Future Benefits

Post-employment and compensated absence benefits accrue to the School Division's employees. The cost of these benefits is recorded as the benefits are earned by employees. The liability relating to these benefits is actuarially determined using the projected benefit method prorated on service (which incorporates management's best estimate of future salary levels, other cost escalation, employee turnover, retirement ages and other actuarial factors.)

Actuarial gains and losses are amortized on a straight line basis over the expected average remaining service life of the employees of 14 years.

Recognition of employee future benefits obligations commenced on September 1, 2008. The Division recorded the full value of the obligation related to those benefits for employees' past service at this time.

h. Revenue Recognition

The school division's major sources of revenues are property taxation and provincial operating grants.

Property tax is levied and collected on a calendar year basis. The division estimates the tax revenue for the January to August portion of its fiscal year based on estimate information provided by municipalities who levy levy and collect the property tax and records that amount in property taxation revenue. The final annual taxation amounts are reported to the division by each municipality following the conclusion of each taxation/calendar year.

Provincial operating grants are recognized on a 12 month basis. Capital grants are recognized when the division has earned the entitlement and the amount is measurable. Unrestricted grants are recognized as revenue of the appropriate fund when received or receivable. Restricted grants are recognized as revenue of the appropriate fund in the year in which the related expenditures are incurred.

The provincial operating grant revenue for the year is subject to adjustments by Saskatchewan Education for a number of factors, including enrolment numbers and taxable assessment. The School Division has adjusted its revenue for these factors based on the information available; however, this is subject to further review and decisions by Saskatchewan Education which could result in further adjustments relating to this reporting period.

Tuition fee revenue and other services revenue are recognized when the service is provided. Page 4 HORIZON SCHOOL DIVISION NO. 205

NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

AUGUST 31. 2009

2. SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES — continued:

I. Revenue Contributions to Capital

Certain capital expenditures not financed through capital building grants or debentures proceeds are funded through interfund transfers from the operating fund and are expensed in the capital fund.

These capital additions are also reflected as additions to property and equipment with a corresponding increase to investment in physical assets.

j. School Generated Funds

School Generated Funds are comprised of revenues and expenditures collected/paid at the school level for certain school based activities.

lc. Use of Estimates

The preparation of financial statements in accordance with Canadian generally accepted accounting principles, require management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amount of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Assumptions underlying deferred cost valuations are limited by the availability of reliable comparable data and the uncertainty concerning future events.

By nature, asset valuations are subjective and do not necessarily result in precise determinations. Should underlying assumptions change, the estimated net recoverable amount could change by a material amount.

The primary estimates made by the School Division related to tax revenue, allowance for uncollectible taxes, Provincial Operating Grant, grants receivable and revenue, and asset and accrued liability valuations.

I. Financial Instruments

There are no significant terms or conditions related to financial instruments classified as current assets or current liabilities that may affect the amount, timing or certainty of future cash flows. The carrying amount of cash resources, receivable, payables and other accrued assets and liabilities approximates their fair value due to their immediate short-term nature.

m. Future Changes in Basis of Accounting

The Ministry of Education has advised school divisions of its intention to adopt full implementation of Public Sector Accounting Board (PSAB) recommendations of the Canadian Institute of Chartered Accountants for financial reporting for the period ending August 31, 2010.

For the period of September 1, 2009 to August 31, 2010, tangible capital assets will be capitalized and classified as a non-financial asset in the statement of financial position. The amortization of the costs of tangible capital assets will be accounted for as expenses in the statement of operations. Page 5 HORIZON SCHOOL DIVISION NO. 205

NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

AUGUST 31. 2009

12. PENSIONS:

Employees of the School Division participate in one of the following pension plans. Teachers participate in one of the multi-employer defined benefit plans of the Saskatchewan Teachers Federation, the Saskatchewan Teachers Retirement Plan (STRP) or the Saskatchewan Teacher's Superannuation Commission (STSC), whom are responsible for the plans. Other employees participate in the Municipal Employees Pension Plan (MEPP), which is a defined benefit plan.

The Board's obligation to the STF, STRP, and STSC plans is limited to collecting and remitting contributions of the employees. The school division's obligation to the MEPP is limited to making required payments to match amounts contributed by employees for current services.

13. TAX COLLECTION RISK:

In accordance with Provincial legislation, collection of taxes levied by the School Division is delegated to municipal government authorities within the Division's designated boundaries. Accordingly, the collection of taxes receivable and related collection policies are subject to the discretion of those municipalities.

The Division does not have a significant exposure to any single ratepayer.

14. FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS:

The School Division as part of its operations carries a number of financial instruments. The carrying amounts of cash resources, receivables, payables and other accrued assets and liabilities approximates -their fair value due to their immediate or short-term nature. It is management's opinion that the School Division is not exposed to significant interest, currency or credit risks arising from these financial instruments except as otherwise disclosed.

Credit Concentration- Financial instruments that potentially subject the School Division to concentrations of credit risk consist primarily of taxes and other receivables. Credit exposure is limited due to School Division's large tax base.

Interest Rate Risk- Interest rate risk is the risk that the value of a financial instrument might be adversely affected by a change in the interest rates. In seeking to minimize the risks from interest rate fluctuations, the School Division manages exposure through its normal operating and financing activities. The School Division is exposed to interest rate risk on its long-term debt. Page 10 HORIZON SCHOOL DIVISION NO. 205

NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

AUGUST 31, 2009

15. TRUST FUNDS UNDER ADMINSTRATION:

The school division periodically receives funds in trust primarily for scholarship programs, and agrees to administer these funds pursuant to conditions and restrictions specified by the donors. As these trust funds are not the property of the school division, and it has only entered into a fiduciary relationship with the donor and beneficiary, the assets and activities of these funds are excluded from the accompanying financial statements.

As at August 31, 2009, the school division held and administered $603,638 (August 31, 2008 - $602,404) in trust for the above purposes.

16. BUDGET FIGURES:

In common with practices followed by Saskatchewan school divisions, the current year budget figures, provided for the purpose of comparison, are unaudited and are derived from the Division's August 31, 2009 budget prepared by the Division's management.

17. CURRENT YEAR REPORTING CHANGES AND COMPARATIVE FIGURES:

a. Compliance with PSAB standards:

Effective September 1, 2008, the School Division implemented certain reporting standards as recommended by the Public Sector Accounting Board of the Canadian Institute of Chartered Accountants. As a result, the following changes in accounting policies have been reflected prospectively as of September 1, 2008 in the accompanying financial statements, and prior year's comparative figures have not been restated.

i. School Generated Funds:

Revenues and expenditures related to these funds were excluded from prior year's statements. These amounts, along with related assets and liabilities balances are recorded in the current year's figures.

ii. Employee Future Benefits:

Compensations related to employee future benefits were previously recorded as expenditures in the year payments were made related to these benefits rather than recorded when earned by employees. The liability for accrued employee future benefits was recorded September 1, 2008 and the amount accrued during the current year reflected in the accompanying financial statements. The prior year's figures have not been restated to reflect those accrued benefits. Page 11 HORIZON SCHOOL DIVISION NO. 205

NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

AUGUST 31, 2009

17. CURRENT YEAR REPORTING CHANGES AND COMPARATIVE FIGURES - continued:

b. Tuition and Provincial Operating Grant Revenues:

The Province of Saskatchewan instituted significant changes in the year regarding the sources of funding related to School Divisions. This new funding model effectively transferred the responsibility for the setting of mill rates and accordingly transaction revenue for School Divisions to the Province complimented by Provincial Operating Grant Funding. Accordingly, for the 2009 calendar year, mill rates were set by the Province and reflect significantly reduced funding from taxation revenues, with an increase in Provincial Operating Grant Funding.
