The purpose of this Official Statement, which includes the cover page and Appendices hereto, is to setforth certain information pertaining to the Union County School District Finance Corporation (the "Corporation")School Building Revenue Bonds, Series of 2020 (the "Bonds").

The Bonds are being issued to finance district wide safety and security upgrades to include installationof a new communication and intercom system at Union County High School, Union County Vocational School,Union County Middle School, Uniontown Elementary School, Morgantown Elementary School and SturgisElementary School (the "Projects").

The Bonds are revenue bonds and constitute a limited indebtedness of the Corporation. The Bonds willbe secured by a pledge of the rental income derived by the Corporation from leasing the Project to the UnionCounty Board of Education (the "Board") on a year to year basis (see "Security" herein).

All financial and other information presented in this Official Statement has been provided by the UnionCounty Board of Education from its records, except for information expressly attributed to other sources. Thepresentation of financial and other information is not intended, unless specifically stated, to indicate future orcontinuing trends in the financial position or other affairs of the Board. No representation is made that pastexperience, as is shown by financial and other information, will necessarily continue or be repeated in the future.

This Official Statement should be considered in its entirety, and no one subject discussed should beconsidered more or less important than any other by reason of its location in the text. Reference should be madeto laws, reports or other documents referred to in this Official Statement for more complete information regardingtheir contents.

Copies of the Bond Resolution authorizing the issuance of the Bonds, the Participation Agreement andthe Lease Agreement dated February 6, 2020, may be obtained at the office of Steptoe & Johnson PLLC, BondCounsel, 700 N. Hurstbourne Parkway, Ste. 115, Louisville, Kentucky 40222.

BOOK-ENTRY-ONLY-SYSTEM

The Bonds shall utilize the Book-Entry-Only System administered by The Depository Trust Company(“DTC”).

The following information about the Book-Entry only system applicable to the Bonds has been suppliedby DTC. Neither the Corporation nor the Paying Agent and Registrar makes any representations, warranties orguarantees with respect to its accuracy or completeness.

DTC will act as securities depository for the Bonds. The Securities will be issued as fully-registeredsecurities registered in the name of Cede & Co. (DTC's partnership nominee) or such other name as may berequested by an authorized representative of DTC.

1

DTC, the world's largest depository, is a limited-purpose trust company organized under the New YorkBanking Law, a "banking organization" within the meaning of the New York Banking Law, a member of theFederal Reserve System, a "clearing corporation" within the meaning of the New York Uniform Commercial Code,and a "clearing agency" registered pursuant to the provisions of Section 17A of the Securities Exchange Act of1934. DTC holds and provides asset servicing for over 2 million issues of U.S. and non-U.S. equity issues,corporate and municipal debt issues, and money market instruments from over 85 countries that DTC's participants("Direct Participants") deposit with DTC. DTC also facilitates the post-trade settlement among Direct Participantsof sales and other securities transactions in deposited securities, through electronic computerized book-entrytransfers and pledges between Direct Participants' accounts. This eliminates the need for physical movement ofsecurities certificates. Direct Participants include both U.S. and non-U.S. securities brokers and dealers, banks,trust companies, clearing corporations, and certain other organizations. DTC is a wholly-owned subsidiary of TheDepository Trust & Clearing Corporation ("DTCC"). DTCC, in turn, is owned by a number of Direct Participantsof DTC and Members of the National Securities Clearing Corporation, Government Securities ClearingCorporation, MBS Clearing Corporation, and Emerging Markets Clearing Corporation, (NSCC, GSCC, MBSCC,and EMCC, also subsidiaries of DTCC), as well as by the New York Stock Exchange, Inc., the American StockExchange LLC, and the National Association of Securities Dealers, Inc. Access to the DTC system is alsoavailable to others such as both U.S. and non-U.S. securities brokers and dealers, banks, trust companies, andclearing corporations that clear through or maintain a custodial relationship with a Direct Participant, eitherdirectly or indirectly ("Indirect Participants"). DTC has a Standard & Poor's rating of AA+. The DTC Rulesapplicable to its Participants are on file with the Securities and Exchange Commission. More information aboutDTC can be found at www.dtcc.com.

Purchases of Bonds under the DTC system must be made by or through Direct Participants, which willreceive a credit for the Bonds on DTC's records. The ownership interest of each actual purchaser of each Bond("Beneficial Owner") is in turn to be recorded on the Direct and Indirect Participants' records. Beneficial Ownerswill not receive written confirmation from DTC of their purchase. Beneficial Owners are, however, expected toreceive written confirmations providing details of the transaction, as well as periodic statements of their holdings,from the Direct or Indirect Participant through which the Beneficial Owner entered into the transaction. Transfersof ownership interests in the Bonds are to be accomplished by entries made on the books of Direct and IndirectParticipants acting on behalf of Beneficial Owners.

To facilitate subsequent transfers, all Bonds deposited by Direct Participants with DTC are registered inthe name of DTC's partnership nominee, Cede & Co., or such other name as may be requested by an authorizedrepresentative of DTC. The deposit of Bonds with DTC and their registration in the name of Cede & Co. or suchother DTC nominee do not effect any change in beneficial ownership. DTC has no knowledge of the actualBeneficial Owners of the Bonds; DTC's records reflect only the identity of the Direct Participants to whoseaccounts such Bonds are credited, which may or may not be the Beneficial Owners. The Direct and IndirectParticipants will remain responsible for keeping account of their holdings on behalf of their customers.

Conveyance of notices and other communications by DTC to Direct Participants, by Direct Participantsto Indirect Participants, and by Direct Participants and Indirect Participants to Beneficial Owners will be governedby arrangements among them, subject to any statutory or regulatory requirements as may be in effect from timeto time. Beneficial Owners of Bonds may wish to take certain steps to augment the transmission to them of noticesof significant events with respect to the Bonds, such as redemptions, tenders, defaults, and proposed amendmentsto the Bond documents. For example, Beneficial Owners of Bonds may wish to ascertain that the nominee holdingthe Bonds for their benefit has agreed to obtain and transmit notices to Beneficial Owners. In the alternative,Beneficial Owners may wish to provide their names and addresses to the Paying Agent and Registrar and requestthat copies of notices be provided directly to them.

Redemption notices shall be sent to DTC. If less than all of the Bonds are being redeemed, DTC's practiceis to determine by lot the amount of the interest of each Direct Participant in such issue to be redeemed.

Neither DTC nor Cede & Co. (nor any other DTC nominee) will consent or vote with respect to the Bondsunless authorized by a Direct Participant in accordance with DTC's Procedures. Under its usual procedures, DTCmails an Omnibus Proxy to the Corporation as soon as possible after the record date. The Omnibus Proxy assignsCede & Co.'s consenting or voting rights to those Direct Participants to whose accounts Bonds are credited on therecord date (identified in a listing attached to the Omnibus Proxy).

2

Redemption proceeds, distributions, and interest payments on the Bonds will be made to Cede & Co., orsuch other nominee as may be requested by an authorized representative of DTC. DTC's practice is to credit DirectParticipants' accounts upon DTC's receipt of funds and corresponding detail information from the Corporation orthe Paying Agent and Registrar, on payable date in accordance with their respective holdings shown on DTC'srecords. Payments by Participants to Beneficial Owners will be governed by standing instructions and customarypractices, as is the case with Bonds held for the accounts of customers in bearer form or registered in "street name"and will be the responsibility of such Participant and not of DTC or its nominee, the Paying Agent and Registraror the Corporation, subject to any statutory or regulatory requirements as may be in effect from time to time.Payment of redemption proceeds, distributions, and interest payments to Cede & Co. (or such other nominee asmay be requested by an authorized representative of DTC) is the responsibility of the Corporation or the PayingAgent and Registrar, disbursement of such payments to Direct Participants will be the responsibility of DTC, anddisbursement of such payments to the Beneficial Owners will be the responsibility of Direct and IndirectParticipants.

DTC may discontinue providing its services as depository with respect to the Bonds at any time by givingreasonable notice the Corporation or the Paying Agent and Registrar. Under such circumstances, in the event thata successor depository is not obtained, Bond certificates are required to be printed and delivered. The Corporationmay decide to discontinue use of the system of book-entry transfers through DTC (or a successor securitiesdepository). In that event, Bond certificates will be printed and delivered.

The information in this section concerning DTC and DTC's Book-Entry system has been obtained fromsources that the Corporation believes to be reliable but the Corporation takes no responsibility for the accuracythereof.

The Lease; Pledge of Rental Revenues

The Board has leased the school Project securing the Bonds for an initial period from February 6, 2020,through June 30, 2020, with the option in the Board to renew said Lease from year to year for one year at a time,at annual rentals, sufficient in each year to enable the Corporation to pay, solely from the rental due under theLease, the principal and interest on all of the Bonds as same become due. The Lease provides further that so longas the Board exercises its annual renewal options, its rentals will be payable according to the terms and provisionsof the Lease until February 1, 2040, the final maturity date of the Bonds. Under the lease, the Corporation haspledged the rental revenue to the payment of the Bonds.

STATE INTERCEPT

Under the terms of the Lease and any renewal thereof, so long as the Bonds remain outstanding and inconformance with the intent and purpose of KRS 157.627(5) and KRS 160.160(5), in the event of a failure by theBoard to pay the rentals due under the Lease, and unless sufficient funds have been transmitted to the PayingAgent, or will be so transmitted, for paying said rentals when due, the Board has granted under the terms of theLease and Participation Agreement to the Corporation and the Commission the right to notify and request theKentucky Department of Education to withhold from the Board a sufficient portion of any undisbursed funds thenheld, set aside, or allocated to the Board and to request said Department or Commissioner of Education to transferthe required amount thereof to the Paying Agent for the payment of such rentals.

The Commission has determined that the Board is eligible for an average annual participation equal toapproximately $15,250 from the Commission's appropriation by the Kentucky General Assembly which will beused to meet a portion of the debt service of the Bonds. The plan for financing the Project will require theCommission to pay one-hundred percent (100%) of the debt service of the Bonds.

The Participation Agreement to be entered into with the Board will be limited to the biennial budgetperiod of the Commonwealth of Kentucky, with the first such biennial period terminating on June 30, 2020. Theright is reserved in the Commission to terminate the commitment to pay the agreed participation every two yearsthereafter. The obligation of the Commission to make payments of the agreed participation shall be automaticallyrenewed each two years thereafter unless the Commission gives notice to the Board of its intention not toparticipate not less than sixty days prior to the end of the biennium. However, the Commission has expressed itsintention to continue to pay the agreed participation in successive biennial budget periods until the Bonds areretired, but the Commission is not required to do so.

STATE SUPPORT

Support Education Excellence in Kentucky (SEEK). In determining the cost of the program to SupportEducation Excellence in Kentucky (SEEK), the statewide guaranteed base funding level is computed by dividingthe amount appropriated by the prior year's statewide average daily attendance. The SEEK fund is a guaranteedamount of money per pupil in each school district of Kentucky. The current SEEK allotment is $3,866 per pupil. The $100 capital outlay allotment per each average daily attendance is included within the guaranteed amounts.Each district's base funding from the SEEK program is adjusted for the number of at-risk students, the number andtypes of exceptional children in the district, and cost of transporting students from and to school in the district.

Capital Outlay Allotment. The per pupil capital outlay allotment for each district from the public schoolfund and from local sources shall be kept in a separate account and may be used by the district only for capitaloutlay projects approved by the State Department of Education. These funds shall be used for the followingcapital outlay purposes:

a. For direct payment of construction costs.b. For debt service on voted and funding bonds.c. For payment or lease-rental agreements under which the board will eventually acquire ownership

of the school plant.d. For retirement of any deficit resulting from over-expenditure for capital construction, if such

deficit resulted from certain declared emergencies.e. As a reserve fund for the above named purposes, to be carried forward in ensuing budgets.

The allotment for each school board of education in the Commonwealth for fiscal year 1978-79 was$1,800 per classroom unit. The 1979 Session of the Kentucky General Assembly approved increases in thisallotment in 1979-80 to $1,900 per classroom unit. This rate remained unchanged in 1980-81. The 1981 Sessionof the Kentucky General Assembly decreased the allotment per classroom to $1,800 and this allotment rate didnot change from the 1981-82 rate, until the 1990-91 school year. Beginning with 1990-91, the Capital Outlayallotment for each district is based on $100 per average daily attendance.

The following table shows the computation of the capital outlay allotment for the Union County SchoolDistrict for certain preceding school years. Beginning 1990-91, the allotment is based on average daily attendanceas required by law.

If the school district has no capital outlay needs, upon approval from the State, the funds can be used forschool plant maintenance, repair, insurance on buildings, replacement of equipment, purchase of school buses andpurchase of modern technological equipment for educational purposes. If any district has a special levy for capitaloutlay or debt service that is equal to the capital outlay allotment or a proportionate fraction thereof, and spendsthe proceeds of the levy for eligible purposes, the State may authorize the district to use all or a proportionatefraction of its capital outlay allotment for current expenses (school districts which use capital outlay allotmentsto meet current expenses are not eligible to participate in the School Facilities Construction Commission funds).

Homestead Exemption. Section 170 of the Kentucky Constitution was amended at the General Electionheld November 2, 1971, to exempt from property taxes $6,500 of value of single unit residential property oftaxpayers 65 years of age or older. The 1972 General Assembly amended KRS Chapter 132 to permit countiesand school districts to adjust their local tax revenues lost through the application of this Homestead Exemption. The "Single Unit" qualification has been enlarged to subsequent sessions of the General Assembly to provide thatsuch exemption shall apply to such property maintained as the permanent resident of the owner and the dollaramount has been construed to mean $6,500 in terms of the purchasing power of the dollar in 1972. Every two yearsthereafter, if the cost of living index of the U.S. Department of Labor has changed as much as 1%, the maximumexemption shall be adjusted accordingly. Under the cost of living formula, the maximum was increased to $39,300effective January 1, 2019.

Limitation on Taxation. The 1979 Special Session of the Kentucky General Assembly enacted HouseBill 44 which provides that no school district may levy a general tax rate, voted general tax rate, or voted buildingtax rate which would generate revenues that exceeds the previous years revenues by four percent (4%).

The 1990 Regular Session of the Kentucky General Assembly in enacting the "School Reform" legislativepackage amended the provisions of KRS 160.470 which prohibited school districts from levying ad valoremproperty taxes which would generate revenues in excess of 4% of the previous year's revenues without said levysubject to recall to permit exceptions to the referendum under (1) KRS 160.470(12) [a new section of the statute]and (2) an amended KRS 157.440.

Under KRS 160.470(12)(a) for fiscal years beginning July 1, 1990 school districts are required to levya "minimum equivalent tax rate" of thirty cents ($.30) for general school purposes. The equivalent tax rate isdefined as the rate which results when the income collected during the prior year from all taxes (includingoccupational or utilities) levied by the district for school purposes divided by the total assessed value of propertyplus the assessment for motor vehicles certified by the State Revenue Cabinet. Failure to levy the minimumequivalent rate subjects the board of the district to removal.

The exception provided by KRS 157.440(1)(a) permits school districts to levy an equivalent tax rate asdefined in KRS 160.470(12)(a) which will produce up to 15% of those revenues guaranteed by the program tosupport education excellence in Kentucky. Levies permitted by this section of the statute are not subject to publichearing or recall provisions as set forth in KRS 160.470.

Local Thirty Cents Minimum. Effective for school years beginning after June 30, 1990, the board ofeducation of each school district shall levy a minimum equivalent tax rate of thirty cents ($0.30) for general schoolpurposes. If a board fails to comply, its members shall be subject to removal from office for willful neglect ofduty.

Additional 15% Not Subject to Recall. Effective with the school year beginning July 1, 1990, eachschool district may levy an equivalent tax rate which will produce up to 15% of those revenues guaranteed by theSEEK program. Effective with the 1990-91 school year, the State will equalize the revenue generated by this levyat one hundred fifty percent (150%) of the statewide average per pupil equalized assessment. For 1993-94 andthereafter, this level is set at $225,000. The additional 15% rate levy is not subject to the public hearing or recallprovisions.

Assessment Valuation. No later than July 1, 1994, all real property located in the state and subject tolocal taxation shall be assessed at one hundred percent (100%) of fair cash value.

(1) Support Education Excellence in Kentucky (SEEK) replaces the minimum foundation program and power equalization funding. Capital Outlay is now computed at $100 per average daily attendance (ADA). Capital Outlay is included in the SEEK base funding.

(2) The Board established a current equivalent tax rate (CETR) of $1.097 for FY 2018-19. The equivalenttax rate" is defined as the rate which results when the income from all taxes levied by the district forschool purposes is divided by the total assessed value of property plus the assessment for motor vehiclescertified by the Commonwealth of Kentucky Revenue Cabinet.

STATE BUDGETING PROCESS

i) Each district board of education is required to prepare a general school budget on formsprescribed and furnished by the Kentucky Board of Education, showing the amount of moneyneeded for current expenses, debt service, capital outlay, and other necessary expenses of theschool during the succeeding fiscal year and the estimated amount that will be received from allsources.

ii) By September 15 of each year, after the district receives its tax assessment data from theDepartment of Revenue and the State Department of Education, 3 copies of the budget areforwarded to the State Department for approval or disapproval.

iii) The State Department of Education has adopted a policy of disapproving a school budget if itis financially unsound or fails to provide for:

a) payment of maturing principal and interest on any outstanding voted schoolimprovement bonds of the district or payment of rental in connection with anyoutstanding school building revenue bonds issued for the benefit of the school district;or

b) fails to comply with the law.

POTENTIAL LEGISLATION

No assurance can be given that any future legislation, including amendments to the Code, if enacted intolaw, or changes in interpretation of the Code, will not cause interest on the Bonds to be subject, directly orindirectly, to federal income taxation, or otherwise prevent owners of the Bonds from realizing the full currentbenefit of the tax exemption of such interest. In addition, current and future legislative proposals, if enacted intolaw, may cause interest on state or local government bonds (whether issued before, on the date of, or afterenactment of such legislation) to be subject, directly or indirectly, to federal income taxation by, for example,changing the current exclusion or deduction rules to limit the amount of interest on such bonds that may currentlybe treated as tax exempt by certain individuals. Prospective purchasers of the Bonds should consult their own taxadvisers regarding any pending or proposed federal tax legislation.

Further, no assurance can be given that the introduction or enactment of any such future legislation, orany action of the IRS, including but not limited to regulation, ruling, or selection of the Bonds for auditexamination, or the course or result of any IRS examination of the Bonds or obligations which present similar taxissues, will not affect the market price for the Bonds.

CONTINUING DISCLOSURE; EXEMPTION

As a result of the principal amount of Bonds being offered not exceeding $1,000,000 Bond Counsel hasadvised the Corporation and the Board that they are exempt from application of the Rule 15c2-12c2-12(b)(5) ofthe Securities and Exchange Commission with respect to the Bonds.

The Board and Corporation have been timely in making required filings under the terms of the ContinuingDisclosure Agreement for the past five years.

Financial information regarding the Board may be obtained from Superintendent, Union County SchoolDistrict Board of Education, 510 Mart Street, Morganfield, KY 42437, Telephone 270-389-1694.

TAX EXEMPTION; BANK QUALIFIED

Bond Counsel is of the opinion that:

(A) The Bonds and the interest thereon are exempt from income and ad valorem taxation by theCommonwealth of Kentucky and all of its political subdivisions.

(B) The interest income from the Bonds is excludable from the gross income of the recipient thereof forFederal income tax purposes under existing law and will not be a specific item of tax preference for purposes ofFederal income tax.

(C)As a result of designations and certifications by the Board and the Corporation, indicating the issuanceof less than $10,000,000 of tax-exempt obligations during the calendar year ending December 31, 2020, the Bondsare "qualified tax-exempt obligations" within the meaning of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended.

The Corporation will provide the purchaser the customary no-litigation certificate, and the final approvingLegal Opinions of Steptoe & Union PLLC, Bond Counsel, Louisville, Kentucky approving the legality of theBonds. These opinions will accompany the Bonds when delivered, without expense to the purchaser.

Original Issue Premium

Certain of the Bonds are being initially offered and sold to the public at a premium (“AcquisitionPremium” from the amounts payable at maturity thereon. "Acquisition Premium" is the excess of the cost of abond over the stated redemption price of such bond at maturity or, for bonds that have one or more earlier calldates, the amount payable at the next earliest call date. The Bonds that bear an interest rate that is higher than theyield (as shown on the cover page hereof), are being initially offered and sold to the public at an AcquisitionPremium (the "Premium Bonds"). For federal income tax purposes, the amount of Acquisition Premium on eachbond the interest on which is excludable from gross income for federal income tax purposes ("tax-exempt bonds")must be amortized and will reduce the bondholder's adjusted basis in that bond. However, no amount of amortizedAcquisition Premium on tax-exempt bonds may be deducted in determining bondholder's taxable income forfederal income tax purposes. The amount of any Acquisition Premium paid on the Premium Bonds, or on any ofthe Bonds, that must be amortized during any period will be based on the "constant yield" method, using theoriginal bondholder's basis in such bonds and compounding semiannually. This amount is amortized ratably overthat semiannual period on a daily basis.

Holders of any Bonds, including any Premium Bonds, purchased at an Acquisition Premium shouldconsult their own tax advisors as to the actual effect of such Acquisition Premium with respect to their own taxsituation and as to the treatment of Acquisition Premium for state tax purposes.

14

Original Issue Discount

Certain of the Bonds (the "Discount Bonds") are being initially offered and sold to the public at a discount("OID") from the amounts payable at maturity thereon. OID is the excess of the stated redemption price of a bondat maturity (the face amount) over the "issue price" of such bond. The issue price is the initial offering price to thepublic (other than to bond houses, brokers or similar persons acting in the capacity of underwriters or wholesalers)at which a substantial amount of bonds of the same maturity are sold pursuant to that initial offering. For federalincome tax purposes, OID on each bond will accrue over the term of the bond. The amount accrued will be basedon a single rate of interest, compounded semiannually (the "yield to maturity") and, during each semi-annualperiod, the amount will accrue ratably on a daily basis. The OID accrued during the period that an initial purchaserof a Discount Bond at its issue price owns it is added to the purchaser's tax basis for purposes of determining gainor loss at the maturity, redemption, sale or other disposition of that Discount Bond. In practical effect, accrued OIDis treated as stated interest, that is, as excludible from gross income for federal income tax purposes.

In addition, original issue discount that accrues in each year to an owner of a Discount Bond is includedin the calculation of the distribution requirements of certain regulated investment companies and may result insome of the collateral federal income tax consequences discussed above. Consequently, owners of any DiscountBond should be aware that the accrual of original issue discount in each year may result in an alternative minimumtax liability, additional distribution requirements or other collateral federal income tax consequences although theowner of such Discount Bond has not received cash attributable to such original issue discount in such year.

Holders of Discount Bonds should consult their own tax advisors as to the treatment of OID and the taxconsequences of the purchase of such Discount Bonds other than at the issue price during the initial public offeringand as to the treatment of OID for state tax purposes.

ABSENCE OF MATERIAL LITIGATION

There is no controversy or litigation of any nature now pending or threatened (i) restraining or enjoiningthe issuance, sale, execution or delivery of the Bonds, or in any way contesting or affecting the validity of theBonds or any proceedings of the Board or Corporation taken with respect to the issuance or sale thereof or (ii)which if successful would have a material adverse effect on the financial condition of the Board.

Legal matters incident to the authorization and issuance of the Bonds are subject to the approving legalopinion of Steptoe & Johnson PLLC, Bond Counsel. The form of the approving legal opinion of Bond Counselwill appear on each printed Bond.

State Committee for School District Audits Members of the Board of Education Union County School District Morganfield, Kentucky

Report on the Financial Statements

INDEPENDENT AUDITOR'S REPORT

We have audited the accompanying financia l statements of the governmental activities, the business-type activities, each major fund, and the aggregate remaining f1md information of the Union C0unty School Disll'ict, as of and for the year ended June 30, 2019, and the related notes to the financial statements, which co)lectively comprise the Union County School District' basic financial statements as listed in the table of contents.

Management's Responsibility for the Financial Statements

Managemei.1t is responsible for the preparation and fair presenta tion of these financial statements in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United tates of America; this includes the design, implementation, and maintenance of internal control rel.evant to the prepa ration and fair presentation of financial statements that are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error.

Auditor's Responsibility

0 Lu· responsibility is to express opin ions on these financia l statements based on our audit. We conducted our audit in accordance with auditing standards genera lly accepted in the United States of America and the standards applicable to financial. audits contained in Government Auditing tandnrds, issued by the Comptrnller General of the United States and the audit reqniJ:ements prescribed by the Kentucky State Committee for chool District Audits Fiscal Year 2018-20 19 Financial Auclit Contract Th se standards require that we µ lan aud perform the audit to btain reasonable assurance about whether the financ ial statements are free from material misstatement.

An audit involves perfo1ming procedw·es to obtain audit evidence about the amounts and disc losw-es in the fi11anc ial statements. The procedures selected depend on U1e auditor 's j udgment, including the assessment of the risks of rnatedal misstatement of the 6na:ncial statements whether due to fraud or error. In making those risk assessments, the auditor considers internal control relevant to the en.tity s preparation and fa ir presentation of the financial statements in orcler to design audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but uot for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the entity's internal control. Accordingly, we exptess 1,0 such opinion. An audit also inc ludes valuating the apptOJ)riateness of accoun ting policies used and the reasonableness of significant accounting estimates made by managerne1\t, as well as evaluating the overall presentation of the financial statements.

We believe that the audit evidence we have obtained is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our audit opinions.

Opinions

1n our opinion tl1e fina ncial statem nts referred to above p:resent fair ly, in all material respects, lhe respective financial position of the governmental activities, the business-type activities, each major fund, and the aggregate remaining fund information of the Union County School District as of June 30, 20 l9, and the respective changes in financ ial position, and, where applicable, cash flows thereof fodhe year then ended in accordance with acco'm1ting principles generally accepted in t:h.e United Slates of America.

Other Matters

Required Supplementary Information

Accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America require that the management's discussion and analysis, budgetary comparison information, pension schedules, and OPEB schedules on pages 3 th.rough 9 and pages 52 through 65 be presented to supplement the basic financial statements. Sucl1 information, altho ugh not a part of the basic financial statements, is required by the Governmenta l Accounting Standards Board, who considers it to be an essenlial part of financial reporting for placing the ba~ic financial statements in an appropriate operational, economic, or hjstorical context We have applied certain limited procedures to the required supplementary information in accordance with auditing standards generally accepted in the Un:ited States of America, which consisted of inqu iries of management about the methods of preparing the ulformation and comparing the information for consistency with management's responses to our inquities, the basic financial statements, and other knowledge we obtained during our audit of the basic financial statements. We do not express an opinion or provide ru1y assurance on the information because the linliled procedures do .not provide us with sltfficicmt evidence to express nn opinion or provide any assurance.

Other Information

Our audit was conducted for Lhe purpose of forming opiruons on the financial statements that collectively comprise the Union County School District's basic fu1ancial statements. The combining and individual nonmajor fund financ ial statements/schedules as listed in the table of contents are presented for purposes of additional analysis and are not a required part of the ba,; i.c financiaJ statements. The schedule of expenditures of federal awards is presented for purposes of additional analysis as requiJed by Title 2 U.S·. Code of .Federal Regulations (CFR) Part 200 Uniform Administrative Requil'ements, Cost Principles, and Audit Requirements for Federal Awards, and is also 1101 a required part fthe basic financial statements.

The combining and individual nonmajor fund .financial statements/ chedules and the schedule of expenditures of federa l awards are the responsibility of management and were derived from and relate directly to the tmderlying accounting and other records used to prepare the 'bas ic financfa l statements. Such information has been subjected to the auditing procedw-es applied in the audit of the basic financial statements and certaJn additional procedures, including comparing and reconciling such information di.rectly to the underlyiJ1g accounting and otbcr records used to prepare the basic finai,cial statements or to the basic frnanciaJ. statements themselves, and other additionaJ procedures in accordance with auditing standards generally accepted in the United tates America. Ln our opinion lhe combining and individual nonmajor fond financial statements and the schedule of expenditures of federal awards are fairly stated in all matecial respects.in relation to the basic financial statements as a whole.

Other Reporting Required by Government Auditing Standards

As management of the Union County School District (Distdct), we offer readers of the Distiict's financjal statement this narrative overview and analysis of the financial activities of the District for the Ciscal year ended June 30, 2019. The int nt of this discussion and ar.1alysis is to review the District's financial performance as a whole. We encom·age readers to consider the information presented here in coajunction w.ith the additional informati n found wilhin the audit Teport.

Financial Highlights

• The District continues to maintain a solvent financial condition and has been able to withstand the financial pressures of numerous unfunded Stale mandates. Through budget reductions, cost containment, conununity partnershlps and effectjve utilization of grant funding, the district continues to diligently monitor all staffing, instructional and support programs. In total, net position_ of the District increased $852,600. Net position of governmental activities increased by $803,666, and the net position of business-type activities increased by $48,934.

• During fiscal year 2019 the Disfrict received $8,354,275 iu general fund state SEEl<.. fonding. The guaranteed per pupil base for 2019 was $4,000. Transportation was not fully funded through the SEEK calculation. dtu·ing lhe fiscal year 2019. Transportation funding received in the amount 0f $1,007,507 was prorated at 65.22% of tb.e total cost of $1,544,692 with leaving a balance of unfunded costs of $537,185 to be funded at the local !eve.I.

• Local taxes continue to provide approximately 33% of the aJJnual general fond budget and are critical to the General Fund. For the 2019 tax year, both property and motor vehlc!e assessed values experienced a slight decrease of .5% or $660,000.

Assessment of property subject to taxation on January 1, 2018, wJ, ich was certified to lhe District Board of Education by the Commissioner, reported total real and personal pro-perty valuatiC>,n of $862,673,109 and motor vehicle valuation of $126,103,139. The reaJ estate and personal property rate assessed was 68.10 cents per $100 of assessed property. The total properly tax collected was $5,608,621. The motor vehlcle property tax rat was 55.7 cents per $100 of assessed property, and tl1e total collected was $758,864. The growth and stability of the real estate market as well as indust,y activity in the county remains critical In sustaining local tax revenues and stabilizing tax rates for Union County taxpayers.

• Utility receipts decreased 2.05% OT $24 131 from the prior year. The total collection for the year was $1,152,482. During any given year tl1e change can be attributed to a combinaliQn of usage, fluctuating prices and rate of collection. The Department of Revenue collects the utilities tax on behalf of the school districts in Kentucky for a fee not to exceed one percent.

• Tbe Annual Financial Report and 2019 Audit report includes the on behalf payments in revenue due to GASB 34 regulation. The revenue amount was $6,049,L23 of that amOLmt $5,675, I l6 was expensed to the General Fund, $108,294 Food Service, $14, 136 Day Care and $251,577 was expensed to lbe Debt Service Fund.

• TotaJ capita l assets of governmental activities decreased in the net amount of $198,462. A net increase in total assets consisted of depreciable asset additions of $1,043,433 less disp sals of $30,629 and a net decrease in construction in progress of$60,789. The net cbange jn accumulated depreciation was $1,150,477 which consisted of $1,181,106 of depreciation expense offset by a $30,629 reduction in accumulated depreciation for as ·et disposals.

• Total assets of business type activities decreased in the 11et amount of $2,026. The 11el increase in total assets of .$7,918 consisted of asset additions of $9,600 less asset disposals of $1,682. The net change in accumulated depreciation of $9,944 consisted of $11,626 of depreciation expense offset by a $1,682 reduction in accumuJated depreciation for asset disposals.

• As with most school districts our unmet needs exceeds our current bonding potential. The District will continue to monitor facilities and refer to its long-range facility plan established with community input as stipulated by the Kentucky Department of Educations' regulations. The cun·ent District Facility Plan was completed in 2019 by the District's Local Planning Committee and will be reevaluated in 2023.

The total project cost was $780,614 and was funded by the use ofrestricted Capital Outlay funds p rmitted by means of a Capital Funds Request approved by the Kentucky Deparbnent of Education.

Using the Basic Financial Statements

This discussion and analysis is intended to serve as an introduction to the District's basic financial statements. The District's basic financial statements are comprised of three components: 1) government-wide financial tateme11ts, 2) ftu1d financial statements, and 3) notes to the financial statements. This report also contains other supplementary information in addition to the basic financial statements themselves.

Government-wide Financial Statements. The government-wide financial statements are designed to provide the readers with a broad overview of the District's finances, in a manner similar to a private sector business.

• The Statement of Net Position presents inti rmation on all of the District's assets and liabilities, with the difference between llie two rep rted as net position. Over time, increases or decreases in net position may serve as a useful indicator of whether the financial position of the district is improving or deteriorating.

• The Statement of Activities presents information showing how the District's net position changed during llie most recent fiscal year. All changes in net position are reported as soon as the underlying event giving rise to the change

ccurs, regardless of the timing of the related cash flows. Thus, revenues a11d expenses are reported i.o this statement for some items that will rnsult in cash flows in futur fiscal periods.

Both of these district-wide statements are divided into two district kinds of activities:

• Government Activities - The government-wide financial statements outline functions of the District that are principa.lly supported by property taxes and intergovernmental revenues (governmental activities) . Tbe governmental activities of the Districl include instruction, support services, operation and ma.intenance f plant, student transportation, and operation of non-instrnctional se1vices. Capital Assets and related debt that are also supported by taxes and intergovernmental revenues are reported within this section.

• Business Type Act/11/ties - These services are provided on a charge for goods or services basis to recover aJI of the expenses of the goods or services provided. The types f activities reported in this category are the food service operations and childcare centers. These activities are funded througb fee. charged and supported by federal grants and federal commodities used in the fo d service operations.

Futtd Fi11ancial Stfttements. A fund is a grouping of related accounts that is used to maintain control over resources that have been segregated for specific activities or objectives. This is a state mandated uniform system and chart of accounts for all Kentucky public school districts utilizing the MUNIS adn:iinisb·ative software system. The District uses fund accotmting to ensure and demonstrate comp liallce with fina1 ce related legal requirements. All of the funds of the District can be divided into three categories: governmental, proprietary, and fiduciary funds.

• Govcmme11tal Fmuls - Most o.f the School District's activities are reported in the governmenta.1 funds that include: general fw1d, special revenue (grants), capital outlay, bui lding fund (F'S.PK), c011slruction fond, an,d debt service fund. hese funds are reported using an accounting method called modified accrual accounting, which measures cash and all other financial assets that can readily be converted into cash. The governmental fund statements provide a detailed short-term view of tl1e School District's general government operations and the basic services it provides. Govemmental fund inform tion helps determine whether there are more or fewer financial resources that can be spent in the near foture to finance educatioual programs. The relationship (or difference) between governmental activities (reported in the Statement o[Net Position and the Statement of Activities) and governmenta l funds is reconciled in the financial statements provided.

• Using the Basic Financial Statements, continued

• Governmental Funds, continued

• Proprietary Funds - The proprietary fund includes the food service and childca.J,'e centers Lhat are also fmmd in the business type activities fund. 111ese funds use the same basis of accounting as business type acLiVilies; lilerefore, the statements for tl1e proprietary fund will essentially match.

• Fiduciary Funds - The fiduciary funds are trust funds established by benefactors to aid in student education and student welfare. The District's fiduciary funds are the school activity fw1ds roain:tained. at the school level. Fund Balance for schools' activity amount due to student groups increased during fiscal year by $34,997 ending the year with a total Fund Balance of$376,916.

• Notes to the jluancial stateme11ts. The notes provide additional information that is essential to a full understanding of tbe data provided in the government-wide and fund fmancial statements.

Government-wide Financial Analysis

The largest po1iion of the Dis lTict's net position reflects its investment in cap,ital assets (e.g. land and improvements, buildings and improvements, vehicles, fumitur and equipment) less any related debt used to acquire those assets, which is outstanding at year-end.

The District's !inancial position is the producl of several financia l b·ansactions including the net results of activitit1s, the acquisition and payment of debt, the acquisition and disposal of capital assets, and the depreciation of those capital assets. In I.he prim fiscal year 2018, the District implemented GASB Statement No. 75, Accounting and Reporting for Postemployrnent Benefits Other than Pensions and included the District's liability for the uel pension obligation and the liabili y for other postemployment benefits.

Comments on General Fund Budget Comparisons

General Fund Revenues

The total General fund operating revenues budgeted for fiscal year 2019 in the original budget was $20,204,958 . The final operating revenue budget for the General fund was $20,3 09,382. The actual perating revenue received was $21,993,293. That is an increase of $1,683,911 under the final General fund revenue budget which .is primarily attributed to variances in the amount of state on behalf payments received.

General Fund Expenses

The original general fund budget for expenditures was $2l,L18,003. The original contingency amotmtbudgeted in lhal total was $1,282,022. The final genera l fond budget for expenditures was $20,37 1,126. The final budgeted amouol for contingencies was $1,282,022. Actual expenditures fOJ' the general fund for fiscal year 2019 were $20,882,789. The district's general fund had favorable variance for actual expenditures resulting from the preservation of the amount budgeted. for contingency offset by an unfavorable variance of on-behalf expenditures.

General Fund Budgetary Implications and District Challenges for the Future

As mentioned in the introduction of this report, the legislative body of the tate has 11ot fully funded many of the mandates passed on to local school districts. This bas presented a significant financial challenge as the District has worked to fund an as. ortment of mandates with inadequate state fonding. This practice, over Lime, has placed a significant strain on the Dislrict s resources. The District mai11t·ains a contingency plan to deal with inadequacies in , tate funding, but the oonti,ngency plan wou ld only address funding shorlfalls for a sho1t-term tirnc period. A long-term solution at the state level must be developed and enacted by the state legislature to ensure adequate funding for Kentucky's public school districts. To balance inadequate state funding, local boards have been forced to ir1crease taxes, placing a burden on local taxpayer and local school districts.

In additions to inadequate funding by the State, tbe District also faces rising retirement/pension costs and the overall furnncial instability in the state pension fund. Kentucky school boards now contribute 3% for certified staff in order t stabilize the KTRS medical fund and is faced with an increasing county retirement employer match for support personnel. The District has been forced to cover the increased costs at a local level with no additional funding provided by the State.

As the level of funding provided by the State declines, local districts are forced to rely upon local tax revenue. Local taxes co11tinue to provide approximately 33% of the annual get1eral1 fund budget and are critical to the General Fund. Although both property and motor vehicle assessed values experienced a slight increase for the 2018 tax year, a significant decrease in

General Fund Budgetary Implications and District Challenges for the Future, continued

assessments for 2019 has forced local tax rates to increase dramatically. The growth and stability of the real estate market as well as industry activity remains critical in sustaining local tax revenues and reasonable tax rates for taxpayers.

The financial impact of declining emollment has also been a difficult challenge for the school d:istrict over the past few years. The district's student emollment, which drives the majority of our funding, has experienced a d w11ward trend over the past few years. Decreased funding has resulted in reduced instructional resources and positions, professional development opportunities and the inabiHty to fund cost of living sa lary adjustments.

Another challenge facing the District is the ability to recruit and retain quality teachers and to continue to deliver a quaJity and ever imprnving education for our students with limited revemtc resomces. Due to budget constraints many benefits have been ceased or reduced and teacher salaries are no longer competitive.

In the upcoming budget cycle for fiscal year 2020 the management team in cooperation with the Board of Education must continue to implement plans to stabilize the Genera l •tmd to provide a quality education for our students and secure a positive financial future for the District.

AND CHANGES IN FUND BALANCES OF GOVERNMENTAL FUNDS TO THE STATEMENT OF ACTIVITIES

FOR THE YEAR ENDED JUNE 30, 2019

Net change in fund balance - total governmental funds

Amounts reported for governmental activities in the statement of activities are different because:

Capital outlays are reported as expenditures in this fund financial statement because they use current financial resources, but they are presented as assets in the statement of activities and depreciated over their estimated economic lives. The difference is the amount by which depreciation expense exceeds capital outlays for the year.

Certain accruals do not require the use of current financial resources and, therefore, are not reported as expenditures in the governmental fund statements.(Change in accrued sick leave and change in KSBIT assessment payable)

Bond and capital lease payments are recognized as expenditures of current financial resources in the fund financial statements, but are reductions of liabilities in the statement of net position.

Capitalized savings from bond refundings must be amortized over the remaining life of the bonds

Net effect on pension expense of the allocation of pension expense per GASB 68

Net effect on employee benefits of the allocation of OPEB expense per GASB 75

Accruals of interest payments on long-term debt do not require the use of current financial resources and, therefore, are not reported as expenditures in the governmental fund statements. (Net of receivable for KSFCC for their share of accrued interest)

These financial statements present the District and its component units, entities for which the District entity is considered to be financially accountable. Blended component units, although legally separate entities, are in substance, part of the governmental entity's operations ru1d so data from 1J1ese un'its would be combined with data of the primary governmental entity. The Union County Sebo I District has ne blended c mponent uni.

Blended Component Unit:

The Board Members of the Union County Board of Education also comprise the Corporation's Board of Directors.

b. Basis of Presentation

Government-wide Financial Statements-The statement of net position and the statement of activities display information about the District as a whole. These statements include the financial activities of the primary government, except for fiduciary funds. The statements distinguish between those activities of the District that are governmental and those that are considered business-type activities. The effect of interfund activity has been substantially removed from these statements.

The government-wide financial statements are prepared using the economic resources measurement focus. This is the same approach used in the preparation of the proprietary fund financial statements but differs from the manner in which governmental fund financial statements are prepared. Governmental fund financial statements therefore include reconciliation with brief explanations to better identify the relationship between the government-wide statements and the statements for governmental funds.

The government-wide statement of activities presents a comparison between direct expenses and program revenues for each segment of the business-type activities of the District and for each function or program of the District's governmental activities. Direct expenses are those that are specifically associated with a service program or department and are therefore, clearly identifiable with a specific function or segment. Program revenues include charges paid by the recipient of the goods or services offered by the program and grants and contributions that are restricted to meeting the operational or capital requirements of a particular program.

Revenues that are not classified as program revenues are presented as general revenues of the District, with certain limited exceptions. The comparison of direct expense with program revenues identifies the extent to which each business segment or governmental function is self-financing or draws from th general revenues of the District.

Fund Financial Statements - Fund financial statements report detailed information about the District. The ti cus of governmental and enterprise fund financial statements is on major funds rather Lhat reporting funds by type. Each major fund is presented in a separate column. Non-major funds are aggregated and presented in a ingle column. Fiduciary funds are reported by fund type.

The financial reporting treatment applied to a fund i determined by its measurement focus. AU governmental funds aJe accounted for by using a current financial resources measurement focus. With this measurement focus, only ounent assets and current liabilities generally are included on the balance sheet. Operating statements of the e funds present increases (i.e., revenues and other financing sources) and decreases (i.e., expenditures and other financing uses) in the fund balance.

The proprietary fw1d is accounted for on a flow of economic resources measurement focus. With this measurement focus, all assets and liabilities associated with lhe operation of these fund 'an: included n the balance sheet. Proprietary fund type operating tatements present increases (i.e., revenues) and decreases (i.e., expen es) in retained earnings. Operating revenues are those revenue that are generated directly from the primary activity of the proprietruy fund. For the District those revenues arc primarily charges for meals pr vided by the various schools. All revenues not meeting this definition are reported as nonoperating revenu . The District applies all applicable FASB pronouncements in accounting and rep rting for its proprietary operations.

When both restricted and unrestricted resources are available for use, it is the District's policy to use restricted resources first, then unrestricted resources as they are needed.

The District has the following funds:

Governmental Fw1d Types

1) The General .Ftmd i the primary operatiug fund of the District. It aCCOllnts for financial resomces used for general types of operations. Thi is a budgeted fm1d, and any unreserved fund balances aJe considered as resources avaiJable for use. This is a major fund of the District.

2) Special Revenue Funds account for proceeds of specific revenue somces ( other than expendable trusts or major capital projects) that are legally restricted t disbursements foT specified ptupo es.

a) The Special Revenue (Graut) F,md accou nts for proceeds of federal, state and local grants that are lega lly restTicted to disbursements for specified purp ses. Unused balances are returned to the grantor at the close of specified project peri.ods. Proj ect ace nnting is employed to maintain integrity for th various sources of fonds. The eparate pr ~ects of federally fw1ded grant progrnms are identified in the Schedule of Expenditures of Federal Awards included in this report. This is a major fund of the District.

b) The District Activity Fund i used to account for funds to support co-curricular and extra-curricular activities not raised r expended by student groups.

Ente1prise Fllflds are used to accounl for those operations that are finaJ1ced and operated in a mam1er similar to private business or where the Board has decided that the dete□nination of revenue earned, costs incurred and/or net income is necessary for management accountability. The District has two enterprise fund s: the School Food Services Fund, and the After School Program Fund.

1) The School Food Services F1111d is used to account for school food service activities, including the National School Lunch Program, which is conducted in cooperation with the U. S. Department of Agriculture (USDi\). Amounts have been recorded for in-kind contribution of commodities from the USDA. The School Food Services Fund is a maj r fu1Jd.

2) The Child Cf1re Program Fund is used to account for after school programs established to provide supervi ed activities for children in the afternoon.

c. Basis of Accounting

The government-wide financial statements, as weU a the proprietary fund and fiduciary fund financial statements, are reported using- the accrual basis of accounting. Revenue, are recorded when earned and expenses are recorded when a liability is incurrec~ regardless of the timing ofrelated cash flows.

Governmental fund financial statements are reported using the modified accrual basis of accounting, whereby revenues are recognized when they become both mea urable and available. Revenues are cons·id red to be "available" when they are collectible within the current period or soon enough thereafter to pay liabilities of the current period. For this purpose, the D.istsict oonsiders revenues to be available if they are collected within 60 days of the end of the current fiscal year. Unearned revenue ari es when assets are recognized before r venue recognition criteria have been satisfied. Expenditures are genera lly recognized when the related liability is incurred.

Non-exchange transactions in which the District received value without directly giving equal value in return, include properly taxes granls, entitlements and donations. On an accrual basis, revenue from property taxes is recognized in the fiscal year for which the taxes are levied. Revenue from grants, entitlements and donations is recognized in the fiscal year in wbi.ch all eligibility requirements have been satisfied. Eligibility requirements include timing requirements, which specify the year when the resource arn required to be used or the fiscal year when use if first permitted, matching requirements, iJ1 wllich the District must provjde local resources to be nsed for a specific purpose, and expenditure requirements, in which the resources are provided to the District on a reimbursement basis. On a modified accrua l basfa, revenues from non-exchange transactions must also be available before it can be recognized.

d. Estimates

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles genera lly accepted in the United States of America requires management to make estimates and assumpti ns lhat affect reported amounts of assets liabilities, fund balances and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements, and ilie reported amounts of revenues and expenditures during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

e. Cash and Cash Equivalents/Restricted Cash/Investments

The Board considers demand deposits, money market funds and other investments with an original maturity of 90 days or less, to be cash equivalents. 'ash is restricted in the special r venue funds per grant and other agreements, in the capital projects funds per state requirements and in debt ervjce funds per debt agreements. (See Note 2)

Cash balances of the District's funds are pooled and invested. Interest earned from investments purchased with pooled cash is allocated to the various funds based on the fund's average cash balance. Funds with negative cash balances are not charged interest.

As securjty for deposits of the District, any bank doing sucl1 business is required lo pledge securities in an amow1t to exceed funds on deposit by tile District. In addition, the District's accounts are in ured, subject to .FDI coverage terms and limitations. (See Note 2)

,State statutes authorize the District to invest in obligations of the U.S. Treasury and U.S. Agencies, certain federal in truments, commercial bank's certificates of deposit, sav ings and loan deposits, repurchas agreements, and the Commonwealth of Kentucky Investment Pool.

e. Cash and Cash Equivalents/Restricted Cash/Investments, continued

The District's general policy is to repo1t money market investments and short-term participating interest-earning investment contracts at amortized cost and to report nonparticipating interest-earning investment contracts using a cost-ba ed measure. Howev r, if tbe fair value of an inveslmenL is sign.ificantly affected by the impairment of the credit standing of the issuer or by other factors, it is reported at fair value. All other investments are reported at fair value unless a legal contract exists which guarantees a higher value. The term "short-term" refers to investments, which have a remaining term of one year or less at time of purchase. The term "nonparticipating" means that the investment's value does not vary with market interest rate changes.

The District categorizes its fair value measurements within the fair value hierarchy established by generally accepted accounting principles. The hierarchy is based on the valuation inputs used to measure the fair value of the asset. Level 1 inputs are quoted price in active markets for identical a sets· Level 2 inputs are significant other observable inputs; Level 3 inputs are significant unobservable inputs. The district does not have any investments that are measured using Level 2 or Level 3 inputs.

The District has the following recurring fair value measurement as of June 30, 2019:

• Certificates of Deposit of $83,406 are valued using quoted market prices (Level 1 inputs), the carrying amount approximated fair value due to the short-term highly liquid nature.

f. Allowance for Doubtful Accounts

Student accounts receivable are stated net of an allowance for doubtful accounts. The District estimated the allowance based on its historical experience of the uncollected accounts at June 30. The allowance for doubtful accounts was $3,267 at June 30, 2019.

g. Inventories/Commodities

Supplies and materiaJs are charged to expenditures when purchased with the exception of the propri.etary fonds which record inventory using the accrual basis of accounting. Inventories are valued at c . tor at the estin1ated fair value at the date of donation, using the first-in first-out method. For the purposes of the statement of cash flows, federal grants received does not include non-cash commodities received in the amount of $94,445.

h. Capital Assets

General capital as. ets are those assets not specifically related to activities reported in the proprietary funds. These ._. assets generally result from expenditures in the governmental funds. These assets are reported in the

governm ntal activities culu11u1 of the govetnment-wi le Statement of Net Position but are not reported in the fund financial statements. Capital assets utilized by the proprietary funds are reported both in the business-type activities column of the government-wide Statement of Net Position and in the respective funds.

All capital assets are capitalized at cost (or estimated historical cost) and updated for additions and 1·etirements durjng the year. Donated capital assets m·e recorded at their fair market values as of the date received. 111e District maintains a capitalization threshold f one thousand doUars with the exception of computers, digital cameras and real property for which there is no tlu·eshoJd. The District does not possess any infrastrncture. Improvements are capitalized; the cost of non11aJ maintenance and repairs tl1at do not add to the value of the assets or materially extend an asset's life are not.

h. Capital Assets, continued

All reported capital assets are depreciated. [mprovements are depreciated over the remaining useful lives of the related capital assets. Depreciation is computed using the straight-line 111.ethod over the following useful lives for both general capita l assets and proprietary fund assets:

Description

Buildings and imprO\..ements Land imprO\..ements Technology equipment Vehicles Audio-visual equipment Food service equipment Furniture and fixtures Rolling stock

i. Unearned Revenue

Estimated Uves

25-50 years 20 years

5 years 5-10 years

15 years 10-12 years

7 years 15 years

Unearned revenue arises when assets are recognized before revenue recognition criteria have been satisfied. Grants and entitlements received before the eligibility requirements are met are recorded as unearned revenue.

j. Accrued Sick Leave

The Un ion County School District allows employees to accumulate and carry over sick days from year to year. The amount of total days that may be carried over from year to year is unlimited. Upon retirement from the sch ol system, employees will receive an amount up to thirty percent (30%) of the value of accumulated ick leave. Separation of em_ployment fos any r ason other than retirement results in the employee forfeiting accumulated days. Sick leave benefits are accrued as a Liability u ing the vesting method. An accrual fo r earned sick ]eave is made to tbe extent tha it is probable that the benefits will Jesuit in termination payments. It is deemed probable that benefits will be paid to empl yees with more than twenty years of e perience ru1d ru1y employee age 5S or older with at least five years experience.

The entire accrued sick leave liability is reported n the government-wide financial statement . Fm· governmental fond financial statements, the current portion of unpaid accrued sick leave is the amount expected to be paid using e pendable available resources. These ammmt are recorded in the account "Current Portion of Accrned Sick Leave" in the general fund. The non-cw-rent portion oftbe liabiUty is not reported.

k. Accrued Liabilities/Long-Term Obligations

All payables, accrued liabilitie and long-term obligations are reported in the government-wide fi nancial statements, and all payables, accrued liabilities and long-term obligations payable from proprietary funds ar reported on the proprieta1y fund financial statement. Bond discounts and premiums are recorded as deferred outflows of resources (deferred savings from refunding bonds) in tbe government-wide fmancial statem nts and amortized on a straight liue basi over the Life of the bonds.

In general, payables and accrned I iabWties that will be paid from governmental fw1ds are reported n the governmental fund financial statements regardless of whether they will b liquidated wifh current resources. However claims and judgments, the non-current portion of apital leases, accumulated sick leave, contractually

required pension contributions and special termination benefits that will be paid from governmental funds are reported as a liability in the ftmd financial statements only to ihe extent that they will be paid with current, ex.pendable, available financial resources. In general, payments made within sixty days after year-end are considered to have beetl made with current available financial resources. B nds and other I ng-tenn obligati ns that will be paid from governmental funds are not recognized as a liability in the fund financial statements until due.

I. Net Position and Fund Balance

District-Wide Financial Statements When the District incurs an expense for which it may use either restricted or unrestricted net position, it uses restricted net position first unless unrestricted net position will have to be returned because they were not used. Net position on the Statement of Net Position include the following:

Net Investment in Capital Assets - The component of restricted net position that reports the dif: erence between capital assets less both the accumulated depreciation and the outstanding balance of debt, excluding unspent proceeds, that is directly attributable to the acquisition, construction or improvement of these capital assets.

Restricted for Capital Outlay - The component of net position that reports the financial resources restricted to pay for construction activities.

Restricted for Debt Service - The component of net position that reports the financial resources restricted to pay for debt service on capital related debt less current accrual of interest.

Unrestricted - The difference between the assets and liabi lilies U1at is not reported in Net Position llwestecl in Capital Assets, Net of Related Debt, Net Position Restricted for Capital.Outlay, or Net P sition est.ricted for Debt Service.

Governmental Fund •inancial Statements In July 2010, tlte District adopted Statement of G vernme11ta.l Accom1ting standards No. 54, Fund Balance Reporting and G01 ernmental Fund Type Definitions. Accordingly in the fund financial sta1ements, governmental fo~ds report fund balances as uonspendable, restricted, committed, assigned or unassigned fund balance. Also, the District has established the order of assigned committed and restricted when an expenditure is incurred for purposes for which amounts in any of those unrestricted fund balance classifications could be used.

Nonspendable fund balanct:s are tho e amounts tJ1at cannot be spent because they are either: (1) generally, amounts thal are not expected to be converted to cash uch as inventories r prepaid am 1.mt:s or (2) amounts that are required to be maintained intact, such as the principal of a pc1manent fund. At June 30, 2019, the District had $80,078 of prepaid insuranc recorded as nonspenda.ble fund balance.

Restricted fund balances arise when constraints placed on the use of resources are either externally imposed by creditor (such as through debt covenants), grantors, contributors, or laws or regulations of other governments or imp sed by law thro11gh constitutional provisions or enabling legislation. At June 30, 2019, the District had the foll wing amounts restricted for capital outlay: FSPK $186,347 SEEK $196, I 61 and Construction $73,318.

I. Net Position and Fund Balance, continued

Committed fund balances are those amounts that can only be used for specific purposes pursuant to con trai11ts imposed by formal action of the government's highest level of decisi n-making authority, which, for tl1e District is the Board of Edttcation. The Board f Education must approve by majodty vote the establishment (and modification or rescinding) of a food balance commitment. The District had the fo llowing commitments at June 30, 20] 9:Sick leave $140,400, Union Counly Middle School roof $2,000 000, Bu es $1 ,200,000, Telephone system $300,000 and Technology equipment $700,000.

Assigned fund balances are those amounts that are con tnined by Lhe government's intent to be used for specific purposes, but are oeither restricted nor committed. The Board of Education allows program supervisors to complete J)w·chase orders which results in the encumbrance of funds. Assigned fund balance also includes (a) aU remaining amounts (except for negative balances) that aro repmted in governmental fonds, other than the general fund, that are not classified as nonspendable and are neither restricted nor committed and (b) amounts in the genernl fond that are intended to be used for a specific pt1rpose. At June 30, 2019, the Di. trict had $283 526 assigned related to encumbrances.

Unassigned fund balance is lhe residual classification for the general fund. This classification represents fund balance that has not been assigned to other fund s and that has not been reslricted, committed, or assigned to specific purposes within the general fund.

m. Property Taxes

Property taxes are levied annually by ordinance usually in October on tl1e assessed value listed as of tbc prope1iy Janua1y l, for aU reaJ and persona l property in the District. The bil lings are considered due upon receipt by the taxpayer; howeve(, lhe actual date is based on a period ending 30 days ai'i er the tax biU mailing. Property taxe collected are recorded as revenues in the fiscal year for which they were levied.

The property tax rates assessed for the year ended June 30, 2019 were 68.1 cents per $100 valuation for real and personal property and 55.7 cents per $100 valuation for motor vehicles, of which 5.8 cents i for participation in Facility Support Program.

'Die District levies a utility gr ss recejpts license tax in the amount of 3% of the gross receipts derived from the furnishings within the Di. trict, of telephonic and telegraphic communications service , cablevisfon services, electric p wer, water and natmal, ar1jficial and mixed gas.

n. Interfund Activity

Exchange transactions between fo 11ds are reported us r venues in the seller fonds and as expenditures/expenses in the purchaser funds. Flows of cash or goods from one fund to another without a requirement for repayment are reported as interfund transfers. Interfund trMsfers are reported as other financing sow-ces/uses in go ernmental funds and as non-operating revenues/expenses in proprietary funds. Repayments from funds responsible for pru1icular expenditures/expenses to the funds that initially paid for them are not presented on lhe financial statements.

Activity between funds that are representative of lending/borrowing arrangeme11t5 outstanding at the end of the fisca l year are l'eferred to as "due to/from other funds." Any residual balances outstanding between the governmental activities and business-type activities are reported in the government-wide financia l statements as "internal balances."

o. Bonds and Related Premiums, Discounts, and Issuance Costs

Tn the government-wide financial statements, bond premiums and discounts are deferred and amortized over the life of the bonds using the straight-line method. Bonds payable are reported net of the a1Jplicable bond premiums or discounts. Bond issuance costs are expensed when bonds are issued. In governmental fund financiaJ statements, bond premiums and discounts, as well as debt issuance costs are recognized in the current period. The face amount of the debt is reported as other financing sources. Premiums received on debt issuance are also reported as other financing sources. Discounts related to debt issuance are reported as other financing uses. Issuance costs are reported as debt service expenditures.

p. Pensions

For purposes of measuring the net pension liability, deferred outflows of resources and deferred inflows of resources related to pensions, and pension expense, information about the fiduciary net position of the County Employees Retirement System Non-Hazardous ("C • RS") ru1d Teachers Retirement System of the State of Kentucky ("TRS") and add itions to/deductions from fiduciary net position have been determined on the same basis as they are reported by CERS and TRS. For this purpose benefit payments (including refunds of employee contributions) are recognized when due and payable in accordance with the benefit terms. Investments are repo1ted at fair value.

q. Other Postemployment Benefits (OPEB)

For purp ses of measuring the liability, defeffed outflows of resources and deferred inflows of resources related to OPEB, and QllEB expense, information about the fiduciary net positi n of the County Employees Retirement System Non-Hazardous (" ERS") and Teachers' Retirement System of the State of K ntucky ("TRS" a11d addition· to/deductions from CER's and TRS's fiduciary net p ilion bave been determined on the sam.e basis as they are reported by CERS and TRS. For this purpose, benefit payments (including refunds of employee contributions) are recognized when due and payable .in accordance with the b nefit terms. Investments are rep rted at fair value, except for money market in e .. tments and participating interest-earning investment contracts that have a maturity at the llme of purchase of ne year or less, which are reported at cost.

r. Deferred Outflows of Resources and Deferred Inflows of Resources

Deferred Outflows of Resources

In addition to assets, the statement of net position will sometimes rep rl a separate section for deferred outfl ws of resources. This separat financial statement element deferred outflows ofresources, represent a consumption of n t position that applies to future period(s) and so will not be recognized as an outflow of resources (expense) until then.

DeferrtJd outflows related to pensions and OPEB are reported in the statement of net position. A deferred outflow from pension's and OPEB's results from System contributions made subsequent to the measurement date, difference b tween expected and actual experience, net difference between projected and actual jnvestment earnings on pension and OPEB plan investments, changes of assumption , and changes in proportion and differences between employer contributions and proportionate share of contribution . This amount from System contributions made subsequent to the measureme1Jt date are deferred and will be recognized as a reduction of net pension liability and net OPEB liability in the year ending June 30, 2019. The other components of deferred outflows are deferred and will be recognized as a reduction of pension and OPEB expense over the next several years.

Deferred outflows from a bond refunding results from the difference in the carrying value of the refunded debt and its reacquisition price. This amount is deferred and amortized over the shorter of the life of the refunded or refunding debt.

r. Deferred Outflows of Resources and Deferred Inflows of Resources, continued

Deferred Inflows of Resources

In addition to liabilities, the statement of net position will sometimes report a eparate se tion for defen·ed inflows of resources. This separate financial statement element, deferred inflows ofresour es, represents an acquisition of net position that applies to a future period(s) and so will not be recognized as an inflow ofresources (revenue) until that time.

Deferred inflows related to pensions and OPEB are reported in the statement of net position. A deferred inflow from pension's and OPEB s results from net differenoes between expected and actual earning n pension and OPEB plan investments and the change in proportions in differences between employer contributions and prop rLionate share of contributions. This amount is deferred and will be recognized as a reduction of pension and OPEB expense over the next several years.

s. Encumbrance Accounting

Encumbrances are not liabilities and, therefore, are not recorded as expenditures until receipt of materials or services. For budgetary purposes, appropriations lapse at fisca l year-end and outstanding encumbrances at year­end are re-appropriated in the next year. An a sigoment of fund balance equaJ to outstanding encumbrances at year-end is provided for at Ju11e 30, 201.9. Accordingly, no differences exist between actual resu lts and the applicable budgetary data presented in the accompanying combined fo1a11cial statements.

t. Prepaid Expenses

Payments made that will benefit periods beyon I June 30, 201 are recorded as prepaid expenses usiJJg the consumption method. A cmrent asset fir the prepaid amouol i. recorded at the time of the purchase and an expense is repm'led iJJ the year in which the services are consumed.

u. Recently Issued Accounting Standards

The following recently issued accounting standards are expected to impact the financial statements of the District in future periods:

GASBS No. 84 Fiduciary Activities

In January of 2017, the GASB issued Statement No. 84 to improve guidance regarding the identificati n, accounting and financial reporting for fiduciary activities. This Statement establishes criteria for identifying firluciary activiti,es for all state and local guvernments and requir s that activities meeting such criteria should present a statement of fiduciary net posit ion and a tatement of changes in fiduciary net position. The ., tatemenl is effi ctive for reporting periods beginning after December 31, 20 18. This District is ctuTently evaluating the impact the standard will have on its financial statements.

GASBS No. 87 Leases

In June of 2017, the GASB issued Statement No. 87 to improve accounting and financial reporting for leases by governments, by establishing standards for leases that previously were classified as operating leases. It establishes a single model for lease accounting based on the foundational principle that leases are financings of

the right to use an underlying asset, thus requiring lessees to recognize a lease liability and an intangible righUo­use lease asset, and lessors to recognize a lease receivable and a deferred inflow of resources. The Statement is effective for reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2019. The District is currently evaluating the impact that the standard will have on its financial statements.

Note 2. Cash and Deposits

The Districts contributions to TRS for the years ending June 30, 2019 2018 and 2017 were $386,125, $282,104, and $275,845, respectively, which represent 100% of the required contributions for those employees covered by federal programs.

Pension Liabilities, Pension Expense, and Deferred Outflows of Resources and Deferred Inflows of Resources Related to Pension - Because the State, as a non-employer contributing entity, is required by Kentucky Revised Statutes to contribute 100% of the District's contractually required contributions, the District reports no pension liabilities, pension expenses, deferred outflows ofresources, or deferred inflows ofresources related to TRS.

The net pension liability was measured as of June 30, 2018, and the total pension liability used to calculate the net pension liability was determined by an actuarial valuation as of June 30, 2017. The net pension liability associated with the District was based on a projection of the District's long-term share of contributions to the pension plan relative to the projected contributions of all participating school districts and the State, actuarially determined. At June 30, 2018, the measurement date, the State's proportion of the TRS net pension liability associated with the District was 0.2862% percent which was a decrease of .0215% from its proportion measured as of June 30, 2017 of 0.3077%

Actuarial Assumptions- The total pension liability in the June 30, 2017, actuarial valuation was determined using the following actuarial assumptions, applied to all periods included in the measurement:

Inflation 3. 00%

Salary increases, including inflation 3.50% to 7.30%

Long-term ln\estment rate of return, net of pension plan in\estment expense & inflation 7.50%

Municipal Bond Index Rate: Prior Measurement Date 3.56% Measurement Date 3.89%

Year FNP is projected to be depleted NIA

Single Equivalent Interest Rate, net of pension plan in\estment expense & inflation: Prior Measurement Date 4.49% Measurement Date 7. 50%

Post-Retirement Benefit Increases 1.50% annually

Mortality rates were based on the RP-2000 Combined Mortality Table for Males or Females, as appropriate, with adjustments for mortality improvements based on a projection of Scale BB to 2025, set forward two years for males and one year for females.

The actuarial assumptions used in the June 30, 2017, valuation were based on the results of an actuarial experience study for the period July 1, 2010, to June 30, 2015, adopted by the TRS Board on November 19, 2016.

The long-term expected rate of return on pension plan investments was determined using a log-normal distribution analysis in which best-estimate ranges of expected future real rates of return ( expected returns, net of pension plan investment expense and inflation) are developed for each major asset class. These ranges are combined to produce the long-term expected rate of return by weighting the expected future real rates of return by the target asset allocation percentage and by adding expected inflation.

The target asset allocation and best estimates of arithmetic real rates of return for each major asset class, as provided by TRS's investment consultant, are summarized in the following table:

Target Long-Term Expected Asset Class Allocation Real Rate of Return

U.S. Equity 40.0% 4.2% International Equity 22.0% 5.2% Fixed Income 15.0% 1.2% Additional Categories 8.0% 3.3% Real Estate 6.0% 3.8% Private Equity 7.0% 6.3% Cash 2.0% 0.9%

Discount Rate- The discount rate used to measure the total pension liability (TPL) a of ti e Measurement Date was 7.5%. The projection of cash flows used to determine the discount rate was performed in accordance with GASB 67. TRS assumed that Plan member contri.butions will be made at the cun-ent contribution rates and that employer contributions will be n1ade at Actuarially Determined Contribution rates, adjusted by 95%, for all fiscal year in the future. Based on those assumptions, t11e pension plan's fiduciary net _position was projected to be available to make all projected future benefit payments of current plan members. Therefore the long term expected rate of return on pension plan investments was applied to all periods of projected benefit payments to determine the total pension Liability. The change in the discount rate from 4.49% used in 2017 disclosure report is considered a change in actuarial assumptions or other under inputs under GASB 68.

Sensitivity of the Disb-ict's Proportionate Share of Net Pen. ion iability to hanges in the Discount Rate-The following presents the State's proportionate share of the net pension liability associated with the District calculated using the discount rate of 7.5% as well as what the State's proportionate share of the net pension liability associated with the District would be if it were calculated using a discount rate that is !-percentage-point lower (6.5%) or !-percentage-point higher (8.5%) than the current rate:

Plan Fiduciary Net Position- Detailed information about the TRS fiduciary net position is available in the publically available financial report.

The amount of the member's supplement is based on a contribulion supplement table approved by the TRS Board of Trust es. The retired member pays premiums in excess of the monthly supplement. Once retired members and eligible spouses attain age 65 and are Medicare eligible, coverage is btained tlu-ough the TRS Medicare Eligible Health Plan.

Contributions - In order to fund the post-retirement healthcare benefit, seven and one half percent (7.50%) of the gross annual payroll of members is contributed. Three percent (3. 75%) is paid by member conlributions and three quarters percent (.75%) from State appr priation and three percent (3.00%) fr m tbe empl.oyer. The State contributes the net cost of heaJth insurance premiums for members who retired on or after July 1 2010., who are in the non-Medicare eligible group. Also, the premiums collected from retirees as described in the plan description and investment interest help meet the medical expenses of the plan.

At June 30, 2019, the District reported a liability for its proportionate share of the collective net OPEB MIP liability and the related deferred ut11 ws or deferred inflows.

Life Insurance Plan (LIP)

Plan description_- TRS also administer a life insurance plan as provided by Kentucky Revise l Statute J 6 l.655 to eligible active and retired members. The LIP i a cost-sharing multiple employer defined benefit plan wjth a special funding situation. Change made to the life insurance plan may be made by the TRS Board of Trnstees and the General Assembly.

13enefits Provided-TRS provides a life insurance benefit of five thousand dollars payable for members who retire based on serv ice or disability. TRS provides a life insurance benefit of two thousand d llars payable for its active contributing members. The life insurance benefit is payable upon death of the member to the member's estate or to a party designated by the member.

Contributions - In order to fund the post-retirement life insurance benefit, three hundredths of one percent (.03%) of the gross annual payroll of members is contributed by the State. Employers do not contribute to the LIP.

At June 30, 2019, the District did not report a liability for a proportionate share of the collective net OPEB LIP liability, nor any related deferred outflows or deferred inflows, because the State of Kentucky provides the OPEB LIP support directly to TRS on behalf of the District, and the District does not contribute to the LIP.

OPEB Liabilities, OPEB Expense, and Deferred Outflows of Resources and Deferred Inflows of Resources Related to OP ·Bs- At June 30, 2019, the District reported a liability of $5,081,000 for its proportionate share of the collective net MIP OPEB liability that reflected a reduction for state MIP OPEB support provided to the District. The collective net MIP OPEB liability was measured as of June 30, 2018, and the total MIP OPEB liability used to calculate the collective net MIP OPEB liability was based on a projection of the District's long­tenn share of contributions to the MlP OPEB plan relative to the projected contributions of all participating employers, actuarially determined. At June 30, 2018, the District's proportion was 0.146435%, a decrease of .014569% from its proportion measured as of June 30, 2017 of 0.161004%.

The amount recognized by the District as its proportionate share of the OPEB liabilities, the related State support, and the total portion of the net OPEB liabilities associated with the District were as follows:

The RP-2000 Disabled Mortality Table set forward two years for males and seven yeru·s for female is used for the period after disability retirement.

The remaining actuarial assumptions ( e.g. initial per capita costs, health care cost trends, rate of plan participation, rates of plan election, etc.) used in the June 30, 2017, valuation were based on a review ofrecent plan experience done concurrently with the June 30, 2015 valuation.

The long-term expected rate of return on OPEB plan ilwestn1ents was determined usiJ1g a I g-nonnal distribution analysis in which best-eslimatc ranges of expected future real rates of return ( expected returns, net of OPEB plan investment expense and inflation) are developed for each major asset class. These ranges are combined to pr duce the long-term expect d rate f return by weighting the expected :fut11l'e real rates of return by the target asset allocation percentage and by adding expected inflation.

Discount rate- The di count i-ates used tu measure the total MIP and LIP OPEB liabilities were 8.00% and 7.50%, resJ ectively. The projection of cash Dows used to determine the discount rate as umed that pla11 member contributions will be made at the current contribution rates and the MIP employer contributions will be made at statutorily required rates. Based on those assumptions, the OPEB plan's fiduciary net position was projected to be available to make all projected future benefit payments of current plan members. Therefore, the long-term expected rnte of return on OPEB plan investments was appli d to all periods of pr ~ected benefit payments to determine the total OPEB liabilities.

Mortality rates were based on the following assumptions and assume a margin for future mortality improvement:

Pre-retirement mortality: RP-2000 Combined Mortality Table projected with Scale BB to 2013. Male mortality rates are multiplied by 50% and female mortality rates are multiplied by 30%.

Post-retirement mortality (non-disabled): RP-2000 Combined Mortality Table projected with Scale BB to 2013. Female mortality rates are set back one year.

Post-retirement mortality ( disabled): RP-2000 Combined Disabled Mortality Table projected with Scale BB to 2013. Male mortality rates are set back four years.

The actuarial assumptions used in the June 30, 2016, valuation were based on the results of an actuarial experience study for the five year period ended June 30, 2013.

The long-term expected rate of return was determined by using a building-block method in which best-estimate ranges of expected future reaJ rate of returns are developed for each asset class. The ranges are combined by weighting the expected future rea l rate of return by the target asset allocation percentage.

INDEPENDENT AUDITOR'S REPORT ON INTERNAL CONTROL OVER FINANCIAL REPORTING AND ON COMPLIANCE AND OTHER MATTERS BASED ON AN AUDIT OF FINANCIAL

STATEMENTS PERFORMED IN ACCORDANCE WITH GOVERNMENT AUDITING STANDARDS

State Committee for School District Audits Members of the Board of Education Union County School District Morganfield, Kentucky

We have audited, in accordance with the auditing standards generally accepted in the United States of America and the standards applicable to financial audits contained in Government Auditing Standards issued by the ComptroJler General of the United States, and the audit requirements prescribed by the State 01:nmittee for Scho I DistTlct Audits' F iscal Year 2018-2019 Financial Audit Contract, the financial statemenl of the governmental activities, the business-type activities, each major fund, and the aggregate remaining fund information of Union County School District as of and for the year ended June 30, 2019, and the related notes to the financial statements, which collectively comprise the Disttfot's basic financial statements and have issue I our report thereon dated November 8, 2019.

Internal Control over Financial Reporting

In planning and perfo1ming our audit of the financial statements, we considered Union County School District's internal control over financlal reporting (internal control) to determine the audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances for the purpose of expressing our opinions on the financial statements, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the U11.ion County chool District's internal control. Accordingly, we do not express an opinion on the effectiveness of the Un i.on County School District's internal control.

A deficiency in internal control exists when the design or operati0n of a conltol does 11ot aUow management or employees, it1 the normal course of performi1lg their assigned fonctions to -prevent, or detect ru1d conect, misstatements on a timely basis. A material weakness is a deficiency, or a combination of d ficiencies, in internal control such that there js a reasonable possibility that a material misstatement of the entity's financial statements wi ll not be prevented or detected and corrected on a timely basis. A significant deficiency is a deficiency, or a combination of deficiencies in intema'I control that is less severe than a material weakness, yet important enough to merit attention by those charged with governance.

Our consideration of internal control was for the limited ptrrpose de~cribed in the first paragraph of this section and was not designed to identify all deficiencies in internal contr l tha,t might be material weaknesses or significant deficiencies. Given these limitations, during our audit we did not identify any deficiencies in internal control that we consider to be material weaknesses. However, material weaknesses may exist that have not been identified.

Compliance and Other Matters

As part of obtaining reas-onable assurance about whether the Union County School District's financial statements are free from material mis tatement, we performed tests of its compliance with certain provisions of laws, regulations, contracts and grant agreements, noncompliance with which could have a direct and material effect ort the determination of financial statement amounts. However providing an opinion on compliance with those provisions was not an objective of our audit, and accordingly we do not e, pres such an opinion. The rnsults of our tests disclosed no instances of noncompliance or other matters that are required to be reported under Government Auditing Standards. In addition, the results of our tests disclosed no instances of material

73

noncompliance of specific state statutes or regulations identified in the State Committee for School District At1dits' Fi.seal Year 2018-2019 Financial Audit ontract.

We noted certain matters other than si.gni.ficant deficiencies and material weaknesses that we have reported to management of the lJnion County School District in a separate letter dated November 8, 2019.

Purpose of this Report

he purpose of this reporl is olely to describe the scope four testing of internal control and compliance and lhe resu lts of that testing, a11d not to provide an pinion on the effectiveness of the entity' s internal control or on compliance. This report is an integral part of an audit performed in accordance with Govemment AudUing tandards in considering the entity ' internal control and compliance. Accordingly, tbis communication is not

suitable for any other purpose.

INDEPENDENT AUDITOR'S REPORT ON COMPLIANCE FOR EACH MAJOR PROGRAM AND ON INTERNAL CONTROL OVER COMPLIANCE REQUJRED BY THE UNIFORM GUIDANCE

State Committee for School District Audits Members of the Board of Education Union County School District Morganfield, Kentucky

Report on Compliance for Each Major Federal Program

We have audited Union County School District's compliance with the types of compliance requirement described in the 0MB Compliance Supplement that could have a direct and material effect on each of Union County School District's major federal program for the year ended June 30, 2019. Union County School District's major federa l programs are identified in the summary of auditor's results section of the accompanying schedule of findings and questioned costs.

Management's Responsibility

Management is responsible for compliance with federal statutes, regulations, and the terms and conditions of its federal awards applicable to its federal programs.

Auditor's Responsibility

Our responsibility is to express an opinion on compliance for each of Union County School District's major federal programs based on our audit of the types of compliance requirement referred to above. We conducted mu- audit of compliance in accordance with auditing standards generally accepted in the United States of Amel'i,ca; the standards applicable to financial audits contained in Government Auditing Standm·ds, issued by the Comptroller General oftbe United States; ,and the audit requirements ofTiUe 2 U. . ode Of Federal Regulations Part 200, Uniform Administrative Requirements, Cost Principles, and Audit Requirement. for Federal Award· (Uniform Guidance). Tbose standards and the Uniform Gu idance require that we plan and pe1form the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether noncompliance with the types of compl iance requirements referr d to above that could have a direct and material effect on a major federal program occurred. An audil includes examining, on a test basi , evidence about Union ounty School District s compliance with those requirements and perfonning such other procedures as we con.sidered necessary in the circum tances.

We believe that our audit provides a reasonable basis for our pinion on compliance for each major federal program. However, our audit does not provide a legal deter.aiinati n of Union County School District's compliance.

Opinion on Each Major Federal Program

In our opinion, Union County School District complied, in all material respects, with the types of compliance requirements referred to above that could have a direct and material effect on each of its major federal programs for the year ended June 30, 2019.

75

Report on Internal Control Over Compliance

Management of Union County School District, is responsible for establishing and maintaining effective internal contro l over compliance with the types of compliance requirements r ferrecl to above. In planning and performing our audit of compl iance, we cons.idered Union County School Disti-i.ct's iJ1ternal control over compliance with lhe types of requirements that couJd have a direct and material effect on each m~jor federa l program to determine the auditing procedw·es that are appropriate in the circumstances for the purp se of expressing an opinion on compliance for each major federal program and to tesl and rnport on internal control over compJ iance in accordance with tbe Uniform Guidance but not ·ft r the purpose of expressing an pinion on lhe effectiveness of internal control over compliance. Accordingly we do 11 t express an opinion on the offectivenes of Union County School District's internal control over compliance.

A deficiency in internal control over compliance exists when the design or operation of a control over compliance does not allow management or employees, in tbe normal course of performing their assigned functions, to prevent, or detect a.nd correct, noncompliance with a type of compliance requirement fa federal program n a timely basis. A material weakness in internal control over compliance is a deficiency, or a combination o:f deficiencies, in internal control over compliance, such that there is a reasonable po sibilily that material noncompliance with a type of compliance requirement of a federal program will not be prevented, or detected and corrected, on a timely basis. A significant deficiency in internal control over compliance is a deficiency, or a combination of deficiencies, in internaJ control ver com1)1iance with a type of com1Jliance requirement of a federaJ program that is less severe than a material weakuess in internal control over compliance, yet important enough to merit attention by th se charged with govemai1ce.

Our consideration of internal control over compliance was for the limited purpose described .in the first paragraph of this section and was not designed to identify all deficiencies in iJ1temal control over compliance that might be material weaknesses or significant deficiencies. We did not identify any deficiencies in 'internal control over compliance that we consider to be material weaknesses. However, material weaknesses may exist that have not been identified.

The pw-pose of this rep 11t on interna l control over compliance is soJely to describe the sc pe four testing of internaJ control over compliance and the results of that testing based on the requirements of the Uniform Guidance. Accordingly, this report is not uitable for any other purpos

Kentucky State Committee for School District Audits Members of the Board of Education Union county School District Morganfield, Kentucky

In planning and performing our audit of the financial statements of the Union County School District for the year ended June 30, 2019, we considered the District's internal controls to determine our auditing procedures for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the financial statements and not to provide assurance on the internal control.

However, during our audit, we became aware of several matters that are opportunities for strengthening internal controls and operating efficiency. The memorandum that accompanies this letter summarizes our comments and suggestions r garding those matters. A separate report dated November 8, 201 9 contains our report on significant deficiencies and material weaknesses if any, in the District's internal controls. This letter does 110t affect ur repmt dated November 8, 2019 on the financial statements of the Union County School District.

We appreciate the opportunity to bring these comments to your attention. We have already discussed many of these comments and suggestions with various District personnel, and we will be pleased to discuss them in further detail at your convenience, to perform any additional study of these matters, or to assist you in implementing the recommendations.

STATE SUPPORT OF EDUCATION

The 1990 Regular Session of the General Assembly of the Commonwealth enacted a comprehensive legislativepackage known as the Kentucky Education Reform Act ("KERA") designed to comply with the mandate of the KentuckySupreme Court that the General Assembly provide for as efficient and equitable system of schools throughout the State.

KERA became fully effective on July 13, 1990. Elementary and Secondary Education in the Commonwealth issupervised by the Commissioner of Education as the Chief Executive Officer of the State Department of Education("DOE"), an appointee of the reconstituted State Board for Elementary and Secondary Education (the "State Board"). Some salient features of KERA are as follows:

KRS 157.330 establishes the fund to Support Education Excellence in Kentucky ("SEEK") funded from biennialappropriations from the General Assembly for distribution to school districts. The base funding guaranteed to eachschool district by SEEK for operating and capital expenditures is determined in each fiscal year by dividing the totalannual SEEK appropriation by the state-wide total of pupils in average daily attendance ("ADA") in the preceding fiscalyear; the ADA for each district is subject to adjustment to reflect the number of at risk students (approved for free lunchprograms under state and federal guidelines), number and types of exceptional children, and transportation costs.

KRS 157.420 establishes a formula which results in the allocation of funds for capital expenditures in schooldistricts at $100 per ADA pupil which is included in the SEEK allotment ($4,000) for the current biennium which isrequired to be segregated into a Capital Outlay Allotment Fund which may be used only for (1) direct payment ofconstruction costs; (2) debt service on voted and funding bonds; (3) lease rental payments in support of bond issues; (4)reduction of deficits resulting from over expenditures for emergency capital construction; and (5) a reserve for each ofthe categories enumerated in 1 through 4 above.

(C-5)

KRS 160.470(12)(a) requires that effective for fiscal years beginning July 1, 1990 each school district shall levya minimum equivalent tax rate of $.30 for general school purposes. The equivalent tax rate is defined as the rate whichresults when the income collected during the prior year from all taxes levied by the district (including utilities grossreceipts license and special voted) for school purposes is divided by the total assessed value of property, plus theassessment for motor vehicles certified by the Revenue Cabinet of the Commonwealth. Any school district board ofeducation which fails to comply with the minimum equivalent tax rate levy shall be subject to removal from office.

KRS 160.470(12)(2) provides that for fiscal years beginning July 1, 1990 each school district may levy anequivalent tax rate which will produce up to 15% of those revenues guaranteed by the SEEK program. Any increasebeyond the 4% annual limitation imposed by KRS 132.017 is not subject to the recall provisions of that Section. Revenue generated by the 15% levy is to be equalized at 150% of the state-wide average per pupil equalized assessment.

KRS 157.440(2) permits school districts to levy up to 30% of the revenue guaranteed by the SEEK program, plusthe revenue produced by the 15% levy, but said additional tax will not be equalized with state funds and will be subjectto recall by a simple majority of those voting on the question.

KRS 157.620(1) also provides that in order to be eligible for participation from the Kentucky School FacilitiesConstruction Commission for debt service on bond issues the district must levy a tax which will produce revenuesequivalent to $.05 per $100 of the total assessed value of all property in the district (including tangible and intangibleproperty and motor vehicles) in addition to the minimum $.30 levy required by KRS 160.470(12). A district having aspecial voted tax which is equal to or higher than the required $.05 tax, must commit and segregate for capital purposesat least an amount equal to the required $.05 tax. Those districts which levy the additional $.05 tax are also eligible forparticipation in the Kentucky Facilities Support ("KFS") program for which funds are appropriated separately from SEEKfunds and are distributed to districts in accordance with a formula taking into account outstanding debt and fundsavailable for payment from both local and state sources under KRS 157.440(1)(b).

KRS 160.460 provides that as of July 1, 1994 all real property located in the Commonwealth subject to localtaxation shall be assessed at 100% of fair cash value.

BIENNIAL BUDGET FOR PERIOD ENDING JUNE 30, 2020

The Kentucky General Assembly, during its Regular Session, adopted a budget for the biennium ending June 30,2020 which was approved and signed by the Governor. Such budget was effective beginning July 1, 2018.

POTENTIAL LEGISLATION

No assurance can be given that any future legislation, including amendments to the Code, if enacted into law, orchanges in interpretation of the Code, will not cause interest on the Bonds to be subject, directly or indirectly, to federalincome taxation, or otherwise prevent owners of the Bonds from realizing the full current benefit of the tax exemptionof such interest. In addition, current and future legislative proposals, if enacted into law, may cause interest on state orlocal government bonds (whether issued before, on the date of, or after enactment of such legislation) to be subject,directly or indirectly, to federal income taxation by, for example, changing the current exclusion or deduction rules tolimit the amount of interest on such bonds that may currently be treated as tax exempt by certain individuals. Proposalsare currently pending in both Federal houses which, if passed, would eliminate the ability of the issuer to advance refundthe Bonds. Prospective purchasers of the Bonds should consult their own tax advisers regarding any pending or proposedfederal tax legislation.

Further, no assurance can be given that the introduction or enactment of any such future legislation, or any actionof the IRS, including but not limited to regulation, ruling, or selection of the Bonds for audit examination, or the courseor result of any IRS examination of the Bonds or obligations which present similar tax issues, will not affect the marketprice for the Bonds.

CONTINUING DISCLOSURE

As a result of the principal amount of Bonds being offered not exceeding $1,000,000 Bond Counsel has advisedthe Corporation and the Board that they are exempt from application of the Rule 15c2-12c2-12(b)(5) of the Securitiesand Exchange Commission with respect to the Bonds.

Financial information regarding the Board may be obtained from Superintendent, Union County School DistrictBoard of Education, 510 S. Mart Street, Morganfield, Kentucky 42437, Telephone 270-389-1694.

(C-6)

TAX EXEMPTION; BANK QUALIFIED

Bond Counsel is of the opinion that the Bonds are "qualified tax-exempt obligations" within the meaning of theInternal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended, and therefore advises as follows:

(A) The Bonds and the interest thereon are exempt from income and ad valorem taxation by the Commonwealthof Kentucky and all of its political subdivisions.

(B) The interest income from the Bonds is excludable from the gross income of the recipient thereof for Federalincome tax purposes under existing law and interest on the Bonds will not be a specific item of tax preference forpurposes of calculating the Federal alternative minimum tax.

(C) As a result of certifications by the Board and the Corporation, indicating the issuance of less than $10,000,000of tax-exempt obligations during the calendar year ending December 31, 2020, the Bonds may be treated by financialinstitutions as "qualified tax-exempt obligations" under Section 265(b)(3) of the Code.

BOOK-ENTRY-ONLY-SYSTEM

The Bonds shall utilize the Book-Entry-Only-System administered by The Depository Trust Company ("DTC").

DTC will act as securities depository for the Bonds. The Bonds initially will be issued as fully-registered securitiesregistered in the name of Cede & Co. (DTC's partnership nominee). One fully-registered Bond Certificate will be issued,in the aggregate principal amount of the Bonds, and will be deposited with DTC.

DTC is a limited-purpose trust company organized under the New York Banking Law, a "banking organization"within the meaning of the New York Banking Law, a member of the Federal Reserve System, a "clearing corporation"within the meaning of the New York Uniform Commercial Code, and a "clearing agency" registered pursuant to theprovisions of Section 17A of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934. DTC holds securities that its participants("Participants") deposit with DTC. DTC also facilitates the settlement among Participants of securities transactions, suchas transfers and pledges, in deposited securities through electronic computerized book-entry changes in Participants'accounts, thereby eliminating the need for physical movement of securities certificates. "Direct Participants" includesecurities brokers and dealers, banks, trust companies, clearing corporations, and certain other organizations. DTC isowned by a number of its Direct Participants and by the New York Stock Exchange, Inc., the American Stock Exchange,Inc., and the National Association of Securities Dealers, Inc. Access to the DTC system is also available to others suchas securities brokers and dealers, banks, and trust companies that clear through or maintain a custodial relationship witha Direct Participant, either directly or indirectly ("Indirect Participants"). The Rules applicable to DTC and itsparticipants are on file with the Securities and Exchange Commission.

Purchases of Bonds under the DTC system must be made by or through Direct Participants, which will receive acredit for the Bonds on DTC's records. The ownership interest of each actual purchaser of each Bond ("BeneficialOwner") is in turn to be recorded on the Direct and Indirect Participant's records. Beneficial Owners will not receivewritten confirmation from DTC of their purchase, but Beneficial Owners are expected to receive written confirmationsproviding details of the transaction, as well as periodic statements of their holdings, from the Direct or IndirectParticipant through which the beneficial Owner entered into the transaction. Transfers of ownership interests in theBonds ("Beneficial Ownership Interest") are to be accomplished by entries made on the books of Participants acting onbehalf of Beneficial Owners. Beneficial Owners will not receive certificates representing their Beneficial Ownershipinterests in Bonds, except in the event that use of the book-entry system for the Securities is discontinued. Transfers ofownership interest in the Securities are to be accomplished by entries made on the books of Participants acting on behalfof Beneficial Owners. Beneficial Owners will not receive certificates representing their ownership interests in Securities,except in the event that use of the book-entry system for the Securities is discontinued.

To facilitate subsequent transfers, all Bonds deposited by Participants with DTC are registered in the name of DTC'spartnership nominee, Cede & Co. The deposit of Bonds with DTC and their registration in the name of Cede & Co.,effect no change in beneficial ownership. DTC has no knowledge of the actual Beneficial Owners of the Bonds; DTC'srecords reflect only the identity of the Direct Participants to whose accounts such Bonds are credited, which may or maynot be the Beneficial Owners. The Participants will remain responsible for keeping account of their holdings on behalfof their customers.

(C-7)

Conveyance of notices and other communications by DTC to Direct Participants, by Direct Participants to IndirectParticipants, and by Direct Participants and Indirect Participants to Beneficial Owners, will be governed by arrangementsamong them, subject to any statutory or regulatory requirements as may be in effect from time to time.

Redemption notices shall be sent to Cede & Co. If less than all of the Bonds are being redeemed, DTC's practiceis to determine by lot the amount of the interest of each Direct Participant in the Bonds to be redeemed.

Neither DTC nor Cede & Co. will consent or vote with respect to Bonds. Under its usual procedures, DTC mailsan Omnibus Proxy to the Issuer as soon as possible after the record date. The Omnibus Proxy assigns Cede & Co.'sconsenting or voting rights to those Direct Participants to whose accounts the Bonds are credited on the record date(identified in a listing attached to the Omnibus Proxy).

Principal and interest payments of the Bonds will be made to DTC. DTC's practice is to credit Direct Participants'account on payable date in accordance with their respective holdings shown on DTC's records unless DTC has reasonto believe that it will not receive payment on payable date. Payments by Participants to Beneficial Owners will begoverned by standing instructions and customary practices, as is the case with securities held for the accounts ofcustomers in bearer form or registered in "street name", and will be the responsibility of such Participant and not of DTC,the Issuer, or the Trustee, subject to any statutory or regulatory requirements as may be in effect from time to time. Payment of principal and interest to DTC is the responsibility of the Issuer or the Trustee, disbursements of suchpayments to Direct Participants shall be the responsibility of DTC, and disbursements of such payment to the BeneficialOwners shall be the responsibility of Direct and Indirect Participants.

A Beneficial Owner shall give notice to elect to have its Beneficial Ownership Interests purchased or tendered,through its Participant, to the Trustee, and shall effect delivery of such Beneficial Ownership Interests by causing theDirect Participant to transfer the Participant's interest in the Beneficial Ownership Interests, on DTC's records, to thepurchaser or the Trustee, as appropriate. The requirements for physical delivery of Bonds in connection with a demandfor purchase or a mandatory purchase will be deemed satisfied when the ownership rights in the Bonds are transferredby Direct Participants on DTC's records.

DTC may discontinue providing its services as securities depository with respect to the Bonds at any time by givingreasonable notice to the Issuer or the Bond Registrar. Under such circumstances, in the event that a successor securitiesdepository is not obtained, Bond certificates are required to be printed and delivered by the Bond Registrar.

NEITHER THE ISSUER, THE BOARD NOR THE BOND REGISTRAR/PAYING AGENT WILL HAVE ANYRESPONSIBILITY OR OBLIGATION TO ANY DIRECT PARTICIPANT, INDIRECT PARTICIPANT OR ANYBENEFICIAL OWNER OR ANY OTHER PERSON NOT SHOWN ON THE REGISTRATION BOOKS OF THEBOND REGISTRAR/PAYING AGENT AS BEING AN OWNER WITH RESPECT TO: (1) THE BONDS; (2) THEACCURACY OF ANY RECORDS MAINTAINED BY DTC OR ANY DIRECT PARTICIPANT OR INDIRECTPARTICIPANT; (3) THE PAYMENT BY DTC OR ANY DIRECT PARTICIPANT OR INDIRECT PARTICIPANTOF ANY AMOUNT DUE TO ANY BENEFICIAL OWNER IN RESPECT OF THE PURCHASE PRICE OFTENDERED BONDS OR THE PRINCIPAL OR REDEMPTION PRICE OF OR INTEREST ON THE BONDS; (4)THE DELIVERY BY ANY DIRECT PARTICIPANT OR INDIRECT PARTICIPANT OF ANY NOTICE TO ANYBENEFICIAL OWNER WHICH IS REQUIRED OR PERMITTED UNDER THE TERMS OF THE BONDRESOLUTION TO BE GIVEN TO HOLDERS; (5) THE SELECTION OF THE BENEFICIAL OWNERS TORECEIVE PAYMENT IN THE EVENT OF ANY PARTIAL REDEMPTION OF THE BONDS; OR (6) ANYCONSENT GIVEN OR OTHER ACTION TAKEN BY DTC AS HOLDER.
