NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS- CONTINUED<br />
<strong>June</strong> 30, <strong>2011</strong><br />
NOTE K- INTERFUND TRANSFERS- continued<br />
As authorized by the SPLOST referendum, a portion of SPLOST receipts are to be used toward principal<br />
and interest payments on certain general obligation debt. During the year, $5,000,000 of SPLOST receipts<br />
were transferred to the Debt Service Fund in order to make these debt service payments.<br />
The General Fund provides funding for various programs accounted for in special revenue funds but<br />
which are not completely funded by state, federal or local grants.<br />
NOTE L- RISK MANAGEMENT<br />
The School System is exposed to various risks of loss for claims associated with torts; theft of, damage to<br />
and destruction of assets; errors and omissions; job related injuries to employees; natural disasters and<br />
unemployment compensation.<br />
Risk Pool<br />
The School System has elected to be a member of the Georgia School Boards Association- Risk<br />
Management Fund (GSBA-RMF), an interlocal risk management agency created under Georgia law.<br />
Coverage for losses arising from certain liability and property risks to the School System is provided<br />
through a group self-insurance plan. For accounting purposes, this plan is considered to be a Risk<br />
Transfer Pool. Under this plan, the School System is responsible for the flrst $5,000 of each property<br />
loss, the first $500 of auto physical damage loss, the flrst $2,500 of each auto liability claim and the first<br />
$10,000 of each school leader's liability claim. The plan assumes certain risks of the School System in<br />
excess of the stated retentions up to certain customary coverage limits. The School System is required to<br />
make a financial contribution to the plan each year in an amount that is determined on the basis of<br />
actuarial projections of losses.<br />
Management of GSBA-RMF has informed the School System it had no outstanding liabilities within the<br />
loss retentions stated in the preceding paragraph. Management of GSBA-RMF has also informed the<br />
School System that there is a possibility of additional contribution liability in the event that the plan is<br />
terminated or the School System elects to withdraw prematurely. No amount has been recorded in<br />
financial statements due to the belief that plan termination is unlikely and withdrawal by the School<br />
System is not contemplated.<br />
