INDEPENDENT AUDITOR'S REPORT
Board of School Directors
Shippensburg Area School District
Shippensburg, Pennsylvania
We have audited the accompanying financial statements of the governmental activities, the business-type
activities, each major fund, and the aggregate remaining fund information of Shippensburg Area School
District, as of and for the year ended June 30, 2007, which collectively comprise the District's basic
financial statements as listed in the table of contents. These financial statements are the responsibility of
Shippensburg Area School District's management. Our responsibility is to express opinions on these
financial statements based on our audit.
We conducted our audit in accordance with 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 Comptroller General of the United States. Those standards require that we plan and perform
the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material
misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and
disclosures in the financial statements. An audit also includes assessing the accounting principles used
and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement
presentation. We believe our audit provides a reasonable basis for our opinions.
In our opinion, the financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the
respective financial position of the governmental activities, the business-type activities, each major fund,
and the aggregate remaining fund information of Shippensburg Area School District, as of June 30, 2007,
and the respective changes in financial position and cash flows, where applicable, thereof and the
respective budgetary comparison for the General Fund for the year then ended in conformity with
accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.
In accordance with Government Auditing Standards, we have also issued our report dated November 21,
2007, on our consideration of Shippensburg Area School District's internal control over financial
reporting and our tests of its compliance with certain provisions of laws, regulations, contracts and grant
agreements and other matters. The purpose of that report is to describe the scope of our testing of internal
control over financial reporting and compliance and the results of that testing, and not to provide an
opinion on the internal control over financial reporting or on compliance. That report is an integral part
of an audit performed in accordance with Government Auditing Standards and should be considered in
assessing the results of our audit.

The Management's Discussion & Analysis on pages 3 through 10 are not a required part of the basic
financial statements but are supplementary information required by accounting principles generally
accepted in the United States of America. We have applied certain limited procedures, which consisted
principally of inquiries of management regarding the methods of measurement and presentation of the
required supplementary information. However, we did not audit the information and express no opinion
on it.
Our audit was conducted for the purpose of forming an opinion on the financial statements that
collectively comprise Shippensburg Area School District's basic financial statements. The combining
non-major fund financial statements and other schedules, listed in the table of contents as supplementary
information are presented for purposes of additional analysis and are not a required part of the basic
financial statements. The accompanying Schedule of Expenditures of Federal Awards is presented for
purposes of additional analysis as required by U. S. Office of Management and Budget Circular A-133,
Audits of States, Local Governments, and Non-Profit Organizations, and is not a required part of the basic
financial statements. Such information has been subjected to the auditing procedures applied in the audit
of the basic financial statements, and in our opinion, is fairly stated, in all material respects, in relation to
the basic financial statements taken as a whole.

MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION & ANALYSIS (MD&A)
SHIPPENSBURG AREA SCHOOL DISTRICT
JUNE 30, 2007
The discussion and analysis of Shippensburg Area School District's (District) financial performance
provides an overall review of the District's financial activities for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2007.
The intent of this discussion and analysis is to look at the District's financial performance as a whole;
readers should also review the financial statements and the notes to the basic financial statements to
enhance their understanding of the District's financial performance.
The Management's Discussion & Analysis (MD&A) is an element of the new reporting model adopted
by the Governmental Accounting Standards Board (GASB) in their Statement No. 34 Basic Financial
Statements and Management's Discussion and Analysis for State and Local Governments issued in June
1999. Certain comparative information between the current year and the prior year is required to be
presented in the MD&A.
Financial Highlights
Special Education
The trends of prior years indicate that during the fiscal year 2006-2007, the Shippensburg Area School
District would experience another year of significant increases in the costs for Special Education
Instruction.
Alternative Education
Alternative Education costs increased during the 2006-2007 fiscal year. The District transferred
additional financial resources to fund Alternative Education Placements for at-risk students during the
fiscal year.
Building Program
A new school, the Shippensburg Area Intermediate School, for grades 4 and 5 opened during the school
year. Renovations and limited new construction began at the James Burd and Nancy Grayson
Elementary Schools. The District applied for and received a variance of Pennsylvania Department of
Education's (PDE) 20-year rule for reimbursable projects. The District will receive state reimbursement
on the renovations of the existing elementary schools.
The Board of School Directors and Administration are currently planning for an addition to the
Shippensburg Area Senior High School and for upgrades to the outside athletic fields for that facility.
Borrowing
The District borrowed an additional $4,750,000 for renovations and construction at the existing Nancy
Grayson and James Burd Elementary Schools. The Board plans to borrow an additional $2,250,000 for
planned construction at the Shippensburg Area Senior High School.
Table A-1 summarizes the major features of the District's financial statements, including the portion of
the District they cover and the types of information they contain. The remainder to this overview section
of MD&A explains the structure and contents of the statements.

Overview of Financial Statements
Government-Wide Statements
The government-wide statements report information about the District as a whole using accounting
methods similar to those used by private-sector companies. The Statement of Net Assets includes all of
the government's assets and liabilities. All of the current year's revenues and expenses are accounted for
in the Statement of Activities regardless of when cash is received or paid.
The two government-wide statements report the District's net assets and how they have changed. Net
assets, the difference between the District's assets and liabilities, are one way to measure the District's
financial health or position.
Over time, increases or decreases in the District's net assets are an indication of whether its financial
health is improving or deteriorating, respectively.
To assess the overall health of the District, additional non-financial factors, such as changes in the
District's property-tax base and the performance of students, must be considered.
The government-wide financial statements of the District are divided into two categories:
• Governmental activities -All of the District's basic services are included here, such as instruction,
administration and community services. Property taxes and state and Federal subsidies and grants
finance most of these activities.
• Business-type activities -The District conducts afood-service operation and charges fees to
students, staff and visitors to cover the costs of their operation.
Fund Financial Statements
The District's fund financial statements provide detailed information about the most significant funds -
not the District as a whole. Some funds are required by state law and by bond requirements.
Governmental funds -Most of the District's activities are reported in governmental funds,
which focus on the determination of financial position and changes in financial position, not on
income determination. They are reported using an accounting method called modified-accrual
accounting, which measures cash and all other financial assets that can readily be converted to
cash. The governmental-fund statements provide a detailed, short-term view of the District's
operations and the services it provides. Governmental-fund information helps the reader
determine whether there are more or fewer financial resources that can be spent in the near future
to finance the District's programs. The relationship (or differences) between governmental
activities (reported in the Statement of Net Assets and the Statement of Activities) and
governmental funds is reconciled in the financial statements.
Proprietary funds -These funds are used to account for the District's activities that are similar
to business operations in the private sector; or where the reporting focuses on determining net
income, financial position, changes in financial position, and where a significant portion of
funding comes through user charges. When the District charges customers for services it
provides -whether outside customers or to other units in the District -these services are generally
reported in proprietary funds. The Food Service Fund is the District's proprietary fund and is the
same as the business-type activities reported in the government-wide statements, but provides
more detail and additional information such as cash flows.
4
Fiduciary funds -The District is the trustee, or fiduciary, for several activity funds. All
fiduciary activities are reported in a separate Statement of Net Assets. We exclude these
activities from the District's other financial statements because the District cannot use these
assets to finance operations.
Financial Analysis of the District as a Whole
The District's total net assets were $10,613,755, at June 30, 2007.

Most of the District's net assets consist of restricted amounts. The remaining net assets are invested in
capital assets (land, site improvements, buildings and equipment) and unrestricted amounts including
designated and undesignated amounts. The restricted balances are amounts set aside to fund future
purchases or capital projects as planned by the District.
The results of this year's operations as a whole are reported in the Statement of Activities. All expenses
are reported in the first column. Specific charges, grants, revenues and subsidies that directly relate to
specific expense categories are presented to determine the final amount of the District's activities which
are supported by other general revenues. The two largest general revenues are the Basic Education
Subsidy provided by the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania, and the local taxes assessed to community
taxpayers.

The Statement of Revenues, Expenses and Changes in Net Assets for this proprietary fund will further
detail the actual results of operations.
The District's Funds
At June 30, 2007, the District's governmental funds reported a combined fund balance of $14,872,546,
which reflects a decrease of $2,938,282 from June 30, 2006.
General Fund Budget
During the fiscal year, the Board of School Directors (Board) authorizes revisions to the original budget
to accommodate differences from the original budget to the actual expenditures of the District. All
adjustments are again confirmed at the time the annual audit is accepted, which is after the end of the
fiscal year and not prohibited by state law. A schedule showing the District's original and final budget
amounts compared with amounts actually paid and received is provided in the financial statements.
The District applied for Federal, state and local grants. These grants cannot always be anticipated in the
budgeting process. Budgeted Revenues increased by $318,213 as a result of additional approved grants.
Budgeted expenditures and other financing uses also increased by the same amount to compensate for the
additional approved grants. Transfers between specific categories of expenditures/financing uses occur
during the year. The most significant transfers are from the budget reserve to specific expenditures.
Capital Asset and Debt Administration
Capital Assets
At June 30, 2007, the District had $34,155,141 invested in a broad range of capital assets, including land,
buildings, furniture and equipment.

RECONCILIATION OF THE GOVERNMENTAL FUNDS BALANCE SHEET
TO THE STATEMENT OF NET ASSETS
June 30, 2007
~ u~a~ r una isaiances - vovernmental Funds
Amounts reported for governmental activities in the Statement
of Net Assets are different because:
Capital Assets used in governmental activities are not financial resources,
and therefore, they are not reported as assets in governmental funds. The
cost of assets is $50,363,719, and the accumulated depreciation
is $16,356,356.
Property taxes receivable will be collected this year, but are not
available soon enough to pay for the current period's expenditures,
and therefore, they are deferred revenues in the funds.
Governmental funds report bond issuance costs as expenditures.
However, in the Statement of Activities, the costs of issuance are
allocated over the lives of the debt issues. This is the amount by
which bond issuance costs exceed accumulated amortization.
Long-term liabilities, including bonds payable and compensated
absences, are not due and payable in the current period,
and therefore, they are not reported as liabialities in the funds.
Long-term liabilities at year-end consist of:
Bonds payable (37,945,000)
Accrued interest (153,006)
Compensated absences (1,206,685)
Total net assets -governmental activities

.~~^ .^.a^^go m ^uuu va~ances - i0ia1 governmental funds
Amounts reported for governmental activities in the Statement of
Activities are different because:
$ (2,938,282)
Capital outlays are reported in governmental funds as expenditures.
However, in the Statement of Activities, the costs of those assets are
allocated over their useful lives as depreciation expense. This
is the amount by which capital outlays exceed depreciation
in the period.

Less depreciation expense
4,790,383
(1,082,296)
3,708,087
The net effect of various miscellaneous transactions involving capital
assets (ie. sales, trade-ins, and donations) is to decrease net assets.
Because some property taxes will not be collected for several
months after the District's fiscal year ends, they are not considered
as "available" revenues in the governmental funds. Deferred tax
revenues decreased by this amount this year.
Interest on long-term debt in the Statement of Activities differs from the
amount reported in the governmental funds because interest is
recognized as an expenditure in the funds when it is due, and thus
requires the use of current financial resources. In the Statement of
Activities, interest expense is recognized as the interest accrues,
regardless of when it is due. The additional interest accrued in the
Statement of Activities over the amount due is shown here.
Some expenses reported in the Statement of Activities do not require
the use of current financial resources, and therefore, they aze not
reported as expenditures in governmental funds.
The issuance oflong-term debt provides current financial resources
to governmental funds, while the repayment of the principal of long-
term debt consumes the current financial resources of governmental funds.
Neither transaction, however, has any effect on net assets. Also,
governmental funds report the effect of issuance costs, premiums,
discounts, and similar items when debt is first issued, whereas these
amounts are deferred and amortized in the Statement of Activities. This
amount is the net effect of these differences in the treatment oflong-term
debt and related items.

authoritative standard-setting body for the establishment of governmental accounting and financial
reporting principles. The more significant of these accounting policies are as follows:
A. Reporting Entity
Shippensburg Area School District's financial statements include the operations of all entities for which
the School Board exercises oversight responsibility. Oversight responsibility is demonstrated by financial
interdependency, selection of governing authority, designation of management, ability to significantly
influence operations, and accountability for fiscal matters.
Shippensburg Area School District is the lowest level of government which has oversight responsibility
and control over all activities related to public school education in the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania.
The District receives funding from local, state and Federal government sources and must comply with the
requirements of these funding-source entities. However, the District is not included in any other
governmental "reporting entity" since the School Board Members are elected by the public and have
decision-making authority, the power to designate management, the ability to significantly influence
operations and primary accountability for fiscal matters. Additionally, the District does not exercise
oversight responsibility over any other entities, and consequently, no other entities have been included in
the accompanying financial statements.
B. Government-wide and Fund Financial Statements
The government-wide financial statements (i.e., the Statement of Net Assets and the Statement of
Activities) report information on all of the non-fiduciary activities of the primary government and its
component units. For the most part, the effect of interfund activity has been removed from these
statements. Governmental activities, which normally are supported by taxes and intergovernmental
revenues, are reported separately from business-type activities, which rely to a significant extent on fees
and charges for support. Likewise, the primary government is reported separately from certain legally-
separate component units for which the primary government is financially responsible.
The Statement of Activities demonstrates the degree to which the direct expenses of a given function or
segment is offset by program revenues. Direct expenses are those that are clearly identifiable with a
specific function or segment. Program revenues include 1) charges to customers or applicants who
purchase, use or directly benefit from goods, services, or privileges provided by a given function or
segment and 2) grants and contributions that are restricted to meeting the operational or capital
requirements of a particular function or segment. Taxes and other items not included among program
revenues are reported as general revenues.

Note 1. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies (Continued)
B. Government-wide and Fund Financial Statements (Continued)
Separate-fund financial statements are provided in the report for all of the governmental, proprietary, and
fiduciary funds of the District, even though the latter are excluded from the government-wide financial
statements. Major individual governmental funds and major individual enterprise funds are reported as
separate columns in the fund financial statements. Non-major funds are aggregated and presented in a
single column. Fiduciary funds are reported by fund type.
C. Measurement Focus, Basis of Accounting and Financial Statement Presentation
The District complies with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America
(GAAP) and applies all relevant Governmental Accounting Standards Board (GASB) Pronouncements.
The government-wide financial statements are reported using the economic-resources measurement focus
and the accrual basis of accounting, as are the proprietary and fiduciary-fund financial statements.
Revenues are recorded when earned and expenses are recorded when a liability is incurred, regardless of
the timing of related cash flows. Property taxes are recognized as revenues in the year for which they are
levied. Grants and similar items are recognized as revenues as soon as all eligibility requirements
imposed by the provider have been met. Net assets (total assets less total liabilities) are used as a
practical measure of economic resources and the operating statement includes all transactions and events
that increased or decreased net assets. Depreciation is charged as expense against current operations and
accumulated depreciation is reported on the Statement of Net Assets.
Governmental-fund financial statements are reported using the current financial-resources measurement
focus and the modified-accrual basis of accounting. Revenues are recognized as soon as they are both
measurable and available. Revenues are considered 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
government considers revenues to be available if they are collected within 60 days of the end of the
current fiscal period. Revenues from Federal, state and other grants designated for payment of specific
School District expenditures is recognized when the related expenditures are incurred; accordingly, when
such funds are received, they are recorded as deferred revenues until earned. Expenditures generally are
recorded when liabilities are incurred, as under accrual accounting. However, debt-service expenditures,
as well as expenditures related to compensated absences and claims and judgments, are recorded only
when payment is due.
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.
Governmental Funds are those through which most governmental functions of the District are
financed. The acquisition, use and balances of the District's expendable financial resources and related
liabilities (except those accounted for in proprietary funds) are accounted for through Governmental
Funds.

C. Measurement Focus, Basis of Accounting and Financial Statement Presentation (Continued)
The District reports the following major governmental funds:
The General Fund is the District's primary operating fund. It accounts for all financial resources
except those required to be in another fund. Revenues are primarily derived from local property,
earned income, per capita and occupational taxes, and state and Federal distributions. Many of the
more important activities of the District, including instruction, administration of the District and
certain non-instructional services are accounted for in this fund.
The Capital Projects Fund is used to account for financial resources available for the acquisition or
construction of major capital facilities (other than those financed by proprietary funds).
The District operates one enterprise fund, the Food Service Fund. This fund accounts for the activities of
the District's food service program.
Additionally, the District reports the following non-major governmental funds:
The Athletic Funds are authorized by Section 511 of the Public School Code of 1949 to account for
the revenues and expenditures of athletic activities. The funds account for gate receipts and other
revenues from athletic events and certain budgeted costs of the District's athletic programs.
The Capital Reserve Fund (Section 2932 is authorized by P.L. 145, Act of Apri130, 1943, known as
Section 2932 School Laws of Pennsylvania) accounts for (1) monies transferred during any fiscal
year from appropriations made for any particular purpose which may not be needed, and (2) surplus
monies in the General Fund of the District at the end of any fiscal year. This fund is included in the
financial statements as a Special Revenue Fund.
Proprietary funds distinguish operating revenues and expenses from nonoperating items. Operating
revenues and expenses generally result from providing services and producing and delivering goods in
connection with the proprietary fund's principal on-going operations. The principal operating revenues of
the District's enterprise fund are food service charges. Operating expenses for the District's enterprise
fund include food production costs, supplies, administrative costs, and depreciation on capital assets. All
revenues or expenses not meeting this definition are reported as nonoperating revenues and expenses.
The District does not attempt to allocate "building-wide costs" to the Food Service Fund. Thus, General
Fund expenditures which partially benefit the Food Service Fund (utilities, janitorial services, insurance,
etc.) are not proportionately recognized within the Food Service Fund; similarly, the Food Service Fund
does not recognize a cost for the building space it occupies (no rental-of-facilities expense).
The Activity Funds account for the monies authorized by Section 511 of the Public School Code of 1949
for school publications and organizations. A portion of the Activity Funds is an Agency Fund which is
separate from other Agency Funds because of legal requirements. Agency Funds are custodial in nature
(assets equal liabilities) and do not involve measurement of results of operations. Agency Funds are also
accounted for using the modified-accrual basis of accounting.

D. Budgets and Budgetary Accounting
An operating budget is adopted prior to the beginning of each year for the General Fund on a modified-
accrual basis of accounting. The General Fund is the only fund for which a budget is legally required.
The Pennsylvania School Code dictates specific procedures relative to adoption of the District's budget
and reporting of its financial statements:
The District, before levying annual school taxes, is required to prepare an operating budget for
the succeeding ftscal year.
The District is required to publish notice by advertisement, at least once in two newspapers of
general circulation in the municipality in which it is located, and within fifteen days of final
action, that the proposed budget has been prepared and is available for public inspection at the
administrative office of the District.
Notice that public hearings will be held on the proposed operating budget must be included in the
advertisement; such hearings are required to be scheduled at least ten days prior to when final
action on adoption is taken by the Board.
Legal budgetary control is maintained at the sub-function/major-object level. The Board of School
Directors may make transfers of funds appropriated to any particular item of expenditure by legislative
action in accordance with the Pennsylvania School Code. Management may amend the budget at the sub-
function/sub-object level without Board approval. Appropriations lapse at the end of the fiscal period.
Budgetary information reflected in the financial statements is presented at or below the level of budgetary
control and includes the effect of approved budget amendments.
E. Assets, Liabilities and Net Assets or Equity
Cash and Cash Equivalents: For purposes of the Statement of Cash Flows presented for the proprietary
fund, the District considers all highly-liquid investments with maturities of three months or less when
purchased to be cash equivalents.
Investments: Investments are stated at market value.
Allowance for Estimated Uncollectible Taxes and Deferred Revenues: The allowance for estimated
uncollectible taxes is based upon an historical estimate of delinquent taxes that will not be received within
one year of the fiscal year-end. Deferred revenues are based upon an historical estimate of delinquent
taxes expected to be received within one year of the fiscal year-end.
The portion of taxes receivable which is expected to be received within sixty days of June 30 is recorded
as revenue in the current year. The remaining amount of taxes receivable which is expected to be
received within one year from June 30 is recorded as deferred revenues. All other amounts in taxes
receivable are written off as estimated uncollectible taxes.

E. Assets, Liabilities and Net Assets or Equity (Continued)
Inventories: On government-wide financial statements, inventories are presented at the lower of cost or
market on a first-in, first-out basis, and are expensed when used.
A physical inventory of the Food Service Fund's food and supplies was taken as of June 30, 2007. The
inventory consisted of government-donated commodities which were valued at estimated fair market
value, and purchased commodities and supplies, valued at cost using the first-in, first-out (FIFO) method.
The District has adopted an inventory recordkeeping system which does distinguish between donated and
purchased commodities. Accordingly, deferred revenue for donated commodities has been recorded.
Capital Assets and Depreciation: Capital assets, which include property, plant and equipment, are
reported in the applicable governmental or business-type activities column in the government-wide
financial statements. Capital assets are capitalized at the discretion of management, unless the assets are
acquired by debt proceeds, in which case the assets must be capitalized. Management considers various
factors in the capitalization of assets, including the assets' estimated useful lives, costs, and the extent to
which the assets are part of a larger capital project. The District's capital assets include library books,
classroom texts, computer equipment, classroom furniture, and other instructional equipment, subject to
the on-going discretion of management. The costs of normal maintenance and repairs that do not add to
the value of the assets or materially extend asset lives are not capitalized.
Depreciation is provided for fixed assets on the straight-line basis over the estimated useful lives of the
assets or groups of assets as determined by management.
Long-Term Obli ations: In the government-wide financial statements, long-term debt and other long-
term obligations are reported as liabilities in the applicable governmental or business-type activity
columns in the Statement of Net Assets. Bond premiums and discounts, as well as issuance costs, are
deferred and amortized over the lives of the issues using the effective interest method. Bonds payable are
reported net of applicable bond premiums or discounts. Bond issuance costs are reported as deferred
charges and amortized over the terms of the related debt.
In the fund financial statements, governmental fund types recognize bond premiums and discounts, as
well as bond issuance costs, during the current period. The face amount of the debt issued is reported as
other financing sources while discounts on debt issuances are reported as other financing uses. Issuance
costs, whether or not withheld from the actual debt proceeds received, are reported as debt service
expenditures.
Compensated Absences: Under the system of financial accounting and reporting for Pennsylvania School
Systems, the District accrues certain accumulated employee benefits, such as unpaid vacation and sick
pay. Calculation of this amount is determined by the appropriate vacation, sick and retirement lump-sum
payments which would be available to employees if they would leave or retire from the District and is
adjusted for expected turnover rates of employees. Accrued benefit days, multiplied by appropriate salary
amounts, are reflected as a long-term liability unless retirements are likely within the upcoming fiscal
year. Those costs, determined to be current-year costs, are reflected as a liability of the General Fund.

Transfers: Advances between funds that are not expected to be repaid are accounted for as transfers. In
those cases when repayment is expected, the advances are accounted for through the various "due from"
and "due to" accounts.
Fund Balance:
The District classifies fund balances as follows:
Reserved
Reserved is used to denote that portion of the fund balance, which is not available for expenditure
appropriation or is legally segregated for a specific purpose.
• Reserved for athletics represents that portion of fund balance legally restricted to athletic
programs.
• Reserved for capital reserve represents that portion of fund balance legally restricted to capital
projects.
Unreserved
• Designated is used to indicate intentions for financial-resource utilization.
• Undesignated is used to denote that portion of fund balance which is available for
appropriations.
Use of Estimates: Management uses estimates and assumptions in preparing financial statements. These
estimates and assumptions affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and the reported revenue,
expenditures and disclosures.

reimbursement rate is established by the employment contract and varies by employee classification. In
addition, employees are granted sick days per school year and any unused sick days are permitted to be
carried over to fixture years. Upon retirement from the District, employees are reimbursed for
accumulated sick days equal to the number of unused days multiplied by an amount per the employment
contract. The employees are also offered options regarding retirement payouts as prescribed in the
contract if certain conditions are met. For the year ended June 30, 2007, benefits attributed to
employees retiring during the 2006-07 year amounted to $70,429 for 9 participants. The total liability

Note 11. Defined-Benefit Pension Plan
Plan Description:
The District contributes to the statewide Public School Employees' Retirement System (the System), a
governmental, cost-sharing, multiple-employer, defined-benefit plan administered by the System. In
addition to regular retirement benefits, the System also provides for disability, legislatively-mandated
ad hoc cost-of-living adjustments, and healthcare insurance-premium assistance to qualifying
annuitants. Membership in the System is mandatory for substantially all full-time public school
employees in the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania (Commonwealth). State statutes assign the
authority to establish and amend benefit provisions of the Pennsylvania Public School Employees'
Retirement Code to the Pennsylvania General Assembly (Act No. 96 of October 2, 1975, as amended),
(24 Pa. C.S. 8101-8535). The System issues a comprehensive annual financial report that includes
financial statements and required supplementary information for the plan. A copy of the report may be
obtained by writing to Barbara D. Flurie, Office of Financial Management, Public School Employees'
Retirement System, P.O. Box 125, Harrisburg, Pennsylvania, 17108-0125. This publication is also

Fundin Policy:
The contribution policy is established by the Public School Employees' Retirement Code and requires
contributions by the active members, employers, and the Commonwealth.
Contribution Rates:
The current contribution rate for active members joining the System before July 22, 1983, is set by law
at 5.25% or at 6.50% of the member's qualifying compensation. For active members joining the
System on or after July 22, 1983, and who were active or inactive as of July 1, 2001, the rate of
contribution is 6.25% or 7.50% of the member's qualifying compensation. Members who joined the
System after June 30, 2001, contribute at 7.50%. For all new hires, the higher contribution rates began
with service rendered on or after January 1, 2002.
District Contributions:
The District's required contributions are based upon an actuarial valuation. For the fiscal year ended
June 30, 2007, the District's rate of contribution was 6.46% of covered payroll. The 6.46% rate is
composed of a pension contribution rate of 5.72% for pension benefits and 0.74% for healthcare
insurance-premium assistance. The District is required to pay the entire contribution and will be
reimbursed by the Commonwealth in an amount equal to the Commonwealth's share as determined by
the income-aid ratio (as defined in Act 29 of 1994), which is at least one-half of the total District's
rate. The District's contributions to the Plan for the years ended June 30, 2007, 2006 and 2005, were
$1,049,064, $751,041, and $626,952, respectively, and are equal to the required contributions for each
year.

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
Note 12. Participation in Risk-Sharing Pool
The District is a participant in arisk-sharing pool to provide workers' compensation coverage. The
expense for this coverage for the 2006-07 year was $67,518, comprised of aself-insured retention of
$26,585 and a contribution to the Central Fund of $40,933. Actual claims during the year are first
paid out of the self-insured retention. Claims that exceed the self-insured retention are satisfied by the
Central Fund. The Central Fund maintains excess insurance to cover any claims that exceed $400,000
per accident. There are approximately 79 districts participating in the pool. If there is a deficiency in
the pooled funds, each member is assessed a proportionate share of the deficiency. Upon withdrawal
by a member from the pool, the terminating member has no rights to funds in the pool.
Note 13. Risk Management
The District is exposed to various risks of loss related to torts; theft of, damage to, or destruction of
assets and errors or omissions. Significant losses are covered by commercial insurance for all major
programs. For insured programs, there have been no significant reductions in settlement coverage.
Settlement amounts have not exceeded insurance coverage for the current year or the three prior years.

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 GOVERNMENTAUDITINGSTANDARDS
Board of School Directors
Shippensburg Area School District
Shippensburg, Pennsylvania
We have audited the financial statements of Shippensburg Area School District as of and for the year
ended June 30, 2007, and have issued our report thereon dated November 21, 2007. We conducted our
audit in accordance with auditing standards generally accepted in the United States of America and the
standards applicable to fmancial audits contained in Government Auditing Standards, issued by the
Comptroller General of the United States.
Internal Control Over Financial Reporting
In planning and performing our audit, we considered Shippensburg Area School District's internal control
over financial reporting as a basis for designing our auditing procedures for the purpose of expressing our
opinion on the financial statements, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness
of the District's internal control over financial reporting. Accordingly, we do not express an opinion on
the effectiveness of the District's internal control over financial reporting
A control deficiency exists when the design or operation of a control does not allow management or
employees, in the normal course of performing their assigned functions, to prevent or detect
misstatements on a timely basis. A significant deficiency is a control deficiency, or combination of
control deficiencies, that adversely affects the entity's ability to initiate, authorize, record, process, or
report financial data reliably in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles such that there
is more than a remote likelihood that a misstatement of the entity's financial statements that is more than
inconsequential will not be prevented or detected by the entity's internal control.
A material weakness is a significant deficiency, or combination of significant deficiencies, that results in
more than a remote likelihood that a material misstatement of the financial statements will not be
prevented or detected by the entity's internal control.
Our consideration of internal control over financial reporting was for the limited purpose described in the
first paragraph of this section and would not necessarily identify all deficiencies in internal control that
might be significant deficiencies or material weaknesses. We did not identify any deficiencies in internal
control over financial reporting that we consider to be material weaknesses, as defined above.

Compliance and Other Matters
As part of obtaining reasonable assurance about whether Shippensburg Area School District's financial
statements are free of material misstatement, 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 on 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 express
such an opinion. The results of our tests disclosed no instances of noncompliance or other matters that
are required to be reported under Government Auditing Standards.
This report is intended solely for the information and use of the Board of School Directors, management,
Federal-awarding agencies and pass-through entities, and is not intended to be and should not be used by
anyone other than these specified parties.

INDEPENDENT AUDITOR'S REPORT ON COMPLIANCE WITH
REQUIREMENTS APPLICABLE TO EACH MAJOR PROGRAM AND
INTERNAL CONTROL OVER COMPLIANCE IN ACCORDANCE
WITH OMB CIRCULAR A-133
Board of School Directors
Shippensburg Area School District
Shippensburg, Pennsylvania
Compliance
We have audited the compliance of Shippensburg Area School District with the types of compliance
requirements described in the U. S. Office of Management and Budget (OMB) Circular A-133,
Compliance Supplement that are applicable to each of its major Federal programs for the year ended
June 30, 2007. Shippensburg Area School District's major Federal programs are identified in the
summary of auditor's results section of the accompanying Schedule of Findings and Questioned Costs.
Compliance with the requirements of laws, regulations, contracts and grants applicable to each of its
major Federal programs is the responsibility of the District's management. Our responsibility is to
express an opinion on the District's compliance based on our audit.
We conducted our audit of compliance in accordance with auditing standards generally accepted in the
United States of America; the standards applicable to financial audits contained in Government Auditing
Standards, issued by the Comptroller General of the United States; and OMB Circular A-133, Audits of
States, Local Governments, and Non-Profit Organizations. Those standards and OMB Circular A-133
require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether noncompliance
with the types of compliance requirements referred to above that could have a direct and material effect
on a major Federal program occurred. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence about the
District's compliance with those requirements and performing such other procedures as we considered
necessary in the circumstances. We believe our audit provides a reasonable basis for our opinion. Our
audit does not provide a legal determination on the District's compliance with those requirements.
In our opinion, Shippensburg Area School District complied, in all material respects, with the
requirements referred to above that are applicable to each of its major Federal programs for the year
ended June 30, 2007.

Internal Control Over Compliance
The management of Shippensburg Area School District is responsible for establishing and maintaining
effective internal control over compliance with requirements of laws, regulations, contracts and grants
applicable to Federal programs. In planning and performing our audit, we considered the District's
internal control over compliance with requirements that could have a direct and material effect on a
major Federal program in order to determine our auditing procedures for the purpose of expressing our
opinion on compliance but, not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of internal
control over compliance. Accordingly, we do not express an opinion on the effectiveness of the
District's internal control over compliance.
A control deficiency in an entity's internal control over compliance exists when the design or operation
of a control does not allow management or employees, in the normal course of performing their
assigned functions, to prevent or detect noncompliance with a type of compliance requirement of a
Federal program on a timely basis. A significant deficiency is a control deficiency, or combination of
control deficiencies, that adversely affects the entity's ability to, administer a Federal program such that
there is more than a remote likelihood that noncompliance with a type of compliance requirement of a
Federal program that is more than inconsequential will not be prevented or detected by the entity's
internal control.
A material weakness is a significant deficiency, or combination of significant deficiencies, that results
in more than a remote likelihood that material noncompliance with a type of compliance requirement of
a Federal program will not be prevented or detected by any entity's internal control.
Our consideration of internal control over compliance was for the limited purpose described in the first
paragraph of this section and would not necessarily identify all deficiencies in internal control that
might be significant deficiencies or material weaknesses. We did not identify any deficiencies in
internal control over compliance that we consider to be material weaknesses, as defined above.
