GASB 54 Accounting Standard
Accounting Standard that goes into effect for 2010-11Improved classification & definition of fund balanceRevised definition of “special revenue” funds

Athletics will no longer be its own fund, and will be included in the General FundNo impact on projected deficit, but will inflate revenues and expenses in the General Fund compared to prior projections
