INDEPENDENT AUDITORS' REPORT To the Board of Education Webster Central School District, New York Report on the Audit of the Financial Statements

AF T

Opinions

We have audited the financial statements of the governmental activities, each major fund, and the aggregate remaining fund information of Webster Central School District, New York (the District), as of and for the year ended June 30, 2026, and the related notes to the financial statements, which collectively comprise the District’s basic financial statements as listed in the table of contents.

Basis for Opinions

T

D

R

In our opinion, the accompanying financial statements present fairly, in all material respects, the respective financial position of the governmental activities, each major fund, and the aggregate remaining fund information of the District, as of June 30, 2026, and the respective changes in financial position and, where applicable, cash flows thereof for the year then ended in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.

1S

We conducted our audit in accordance with auditing standards generally accepted in the United States of America (GAAS) and the standards applicable to financial audits contained in Government Auditing Standards, issued by the Comptroller General of the United States. Our responsibilities under those standards are further described in the Auditor’s Responsibilities for the Audit of the Financial Statements section of our report. We are required to be independent of the District and to meet our other ethical responsibilities, in accordance with the relevant ethical requirements relating to our audit. We believe that the audit evidence we have obtained is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our audit opinions. Responsibilities of Management for the Financial Statements The District’s management is responsible for the preparation and fair presentation of the financial statements in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America, and for the design, implementation, and maintenance of internal control relevant to the preparation and fair presentation of financial statements that are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error.

1

In preparing the financial statements, management is required to evaluate whether there are conditions or events, considered in the aggregate, that raise substantial doubt about the District’s ability to continue as a going concern for twelve months beyond the financial statement date, including any currently known information that may raise substantial doubt shortly thereafter. Auditor’s Responsibilities for the Audit of the Financial Statements Our objectives are to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements as a whole are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error, and to issue an auditor’s report that includes our opinions. Reasonable assurance is a high level of assurance but is not absolute assurance and therefore is not a guarantee that an audit conducted in accordance with GAAS and Government Auditing Standards will always detect a material misstatement when it exists. The risk of not detecting a material misstatement resulting from fraud is higher than for one resulting from error, as fraud may involve collusion, forgery, intentional omissions, misrepresentations, or the override of internal control. Misstatements are considered material if there is a substantial likelihood that, individually or in the aggregate, they would influence the judgment made by a reasonable user based on the financial statements.

 

R

Exercise professional judgment and maintain professional skepticism throughout the audit. Identify and assess the risks of material misstatement of the financial statements, whether due to fraud or error, and design and perform audit procedures responsive to those risks. Such procedures include examining, on a test basis, evidence regarding the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. Obtain an understanding of internal control relevant to the audit in order to design audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the District’s internal control. Accordingly, no such opinion is expressed. Evaluate the appropriateness of accounting policies used and the reasonableness of significant accounting estimates made by management, as well as evaluate the overall presentation of the financial statements. Conclude whether, in our judgment, there are conditions or events, considered in the aggregate, that raise substantial doubt about the District’s ability to continue as a going concern for a reasonable period of time.

In performing an audit in accordance with GAAS and Government Auditing Standards, we:

1S

T

We are required to communicate with those charged with governance regarding, among other matters, the planned scope and timing of the audit, significant audit findings, and certain internal control–related matters that we identified during the audit. Required Supplementary Information

Accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America require that the management’s discussion and analysis, schedule of changes in District’s total OPEB liability and related ratio, schedule of the District’s proportionate share of the net pension liability, schedule of District contributions, and budgetary comparison information on pages 4-19 and 58-62 be presented to supplement the basic financial statements. Such information is the responsibility of management and, although not a part of the basic financial statements, is required by the Governmental Accounting Standards Board who considers it to be an essential part of financial reporting for placing the basic financial statements in an appropriate operational, economic, or historical context. We have applied certain limited procedures to the required supplementary information in accordance with auditing standards generally accepted in the United States of America, which consisted of inquiries of management about the methods of preparing the information and comparing the information for consistency with management’s responses to our inquiries, 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 any assurance on the information because the limited procedures do not provide us with sufficient evidence to express an opinion or provide any assurance.

2

Supplementary Information Our audit was conducted for the purpose of forming opinions on the financial statements that collectively comprise the District’s basic financial statements. The accompanying supplemental information as listed in the table of contents and schedule of expenditures of federal awards, as required by Title 2 U.S. Code of Federal Regulations, Part 200, Uniform Administrative Requirements, Cost Principles, and Audit Requirements for Federal Awards are presented for purposes of additional analysis and are not a required part of the basic financial statements. The accompanying supplementary information as listed in the table of contents and schedule of expenditures of federal awards is the responsibility of management and was derived from and relates directly to the underlying accounting and other records used to prepare the basic financial statements. Such information has been subjected to the auditing procedures applied in the audit of the basic financial statements and certain additional procedures, including comparing and reconciling such information directly to the underlying accounting and other records used to prepare the basic financial statements or to the basic financial statements themselves, and other additional procedures in accordance with auditing standards generally accepted in the United States of America. In our opinion, the supplementary information as listed in the table of contents and schedule of expenditures of federal awards is fairly stated, in all material respects, in relation to the basic financial statements as a whole.

Webster Central School District Management’s Discussion and Analysis For the Fiscal Year Ended June 30, 2026 The following is a discussion and analysis of the District’s financial performance for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2026. This section is a summary of the District’s financial activities based on currently known facts, decisions, and/or conditions. It is also based on both the government-wide and fund-based financial statements. The results of the current year are discussed in comparison with the prior year, with an emphasis placed on the current year. This section is only an introduction and should be read in conjunction with the District’s financial statements, which immediately follow this section. Financial Highlights

AF T

At the close of the fiscal year, the total liabilities plus deferred inflows (what the District owes) exceeded its total assets plus deferred outflows (what the District owns) by $107,623,382 (net position) an increase of $58,606,558 from the prior year. General revenues which include Federal and State Aid, Real Property Taxes, Investment Earnings, Compensation for Loss, and Miscellaneous accounted for $222,037,720 or 93% of all revenues. Program specific revenues in the form of Charges for Services and Operating Grants and Contributions, accounted for $15,481,739 or 7% of total revenues.

Overview of the Financial Statements

D

R

As of the close of the fiscal year, the District’s governmental funds reported combined fund balances of $56,275,683 an decrease of $7,127,848 in comparison with the prior year.

1S

T

This discussion and analysis are 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 statements, (2) fund financial statements and (3) notes to the financial statements. This report also contains individual fund statements and schedules in addition to the basic financial statements. Government-Wide Financial Statements

The government-wide financial statements are designed to provide 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 information on all of the District's assets plus deferred outflow of resources and liabilities plus deferred inflow of resources, with the difference between the two reported 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 government's net position changed during the most recent fiscal year. All changes in net position are reported as soon as the underlying event giving rise to the change occurs, regardless of the timing of related cash flows.

4

The governmental activities of the District include instruction, pupil transportation, cost of food sales, general administrative support, community service, and interest on long-term debt. The government-wide financial statements can be found on the pages immediately following this section as the first two pages of the basic financial statements. Fund Financial Statements 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. The District, like other state and local governments, uses fund accounting to ensure and demonstrate compliance with finance related legal requirements. All the funds of the District can be divided into two categories: governmental funds and fiduciary funds. Governmental funds are used to account for essentially the same functions reported as governmental activities in the government-wide financial statements. However, unlike the government-wide financial statements, governmental fund financial statements focus on near-term inflows and outflows of spendable resources, as well as on balances of spendable resources available at the end of the fiscal year. Such information may be useful in evaluating the District's near-term financing requirements.

AF T

Because the focus of governmental funds is narrower than that of the government-wide financial statements, it is useful to compare the information presented for governmental funds with similar information presented for governmental activities in the government-wide financial statements. By doing so, readers may better understand the long-term impact of the government's near-term financing decisions. Both the governmental fund balance sheet and the governmental fund statement of revenues, expenditures, and changes in fund balances provide a reconciliation to facilitate this comparison between governmental funds and governmental activities.

T

D

R

The District maintains six individual governmental funds: General Fund, Special Aid Fund, School Lunch Fund, Miscellaneous Special Revenue Fund, Debt Service Fund and Capital Projects Fund. Information is presented separately in the governmental fund balance sheet and in the governmental fund statement of revenues, expenditures, and changes in fund balances for the General Fund, the Special Aid Fund, and the Capital Projects Fund which are reported as major funds. Data for the School Lunch Fund, the Debt Service Fund, and the Miscellaneous Special Revenue Fund, are aggregated into a single column and reported as nonmajor funds. Additionally, for each major fund, a detailed analysis of the financial position (fund balance or net position) and results of operations are also provided within the MD&A.

1S

The District adopts, and voters approve an annual budget for its General Fund. A budgetary comparison statement has been provided for the General Fund within the basic financial statements to demonstrate compliance with the budget. Fiduciary funds are used to account for assets held by the District in an agency capacity which accounts for assets held by the District on behalf of others. Fiduciary funds are not reflected in the government-wide financial statement because the resources of these funds are not available to support the District's programs. The financial statements for the governmental and fiduciary funds can be found in the basic financial statement section of this report.

Notes to the Financial Statements

1S

The notes provide additional information that is essential to a full understanding of the data provided in the governmentwide and fund financial statements. The notes to the financial statements can be found following the basic financial statement section of this report. 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 Position includes all the District's assets and liabilities. All 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 position and how they have changed. Net position, the difference between the District's assets plus deferred outflow of resources and liabilities plus deferred inflow of resources, is one way to measure the District's financial health or position. Over time, increases or decreases in the District's net position are an indicator of whether its financial position is improving or deteriorating, respectively. Additional nonfinancial factors such as changes in the District’s property tax base and the condition of the school buildings and facilities must also be considered to assess the District’s overall health.

6

All of the District’s services are reported in the government-wide financial statements as governmental activities. Most of the District's basic services are included here, such as regular and special education, transportation, and administration. Property taxes, federal and state aid, and investment earnings finance most of these activities.

Key Variances  Current and Other Assets increased $21,147,589 as a result of the TRS net pension asset increasing $12.1 million and cash increasing $6.7 million from the utilization of Bond Anticipation Notes (BANs) in the capital project funds alleviating cash flow in the projects.  Deferred Outflows of Resources increased $53,673,008 as a result of the differences between expected and actual experiences for the Other Post Employment Benefits (OPEB) plans.  Other Liabilities increased $16,695,753 as a result of the issuance of a BAN for the $85 million dollar construction project.  Deferred Inflows of Resources decreased $15,525,651 as a result of differences between expected and actual experiences and changes of assumptions for the OPEB plan net of increases to the Pension systems Net differences between projected and actual earnings on pension plan investments.  Overall Net Position increased $58,606,558 as a result of the net impact of the OPEB plan and pension systems.

The District’s financial position is the product of many factors. By far, the largest component of the District's net position reflects its investment in capital assets, less any related debt used to acquire those assets that is still outstanding. The School District uses these capital assets to provide services to the students and consequently, these assets are not available for future spending. Although the School District's investment in its capital assets is reported net of related debt, it should be noted that the resources needed to repay this debt must be provided from other sources, since the capital assets themselves cannot be used to liquidate these liabilities. There are three restricted net position balances: Capital Reserves, Retirement Contribution Reserve, and Other Purposes. The remaining balance of unrestricted net position was a deficit of $265,003,977 primarily a result of postemployment benefits replated to retiree health care obligations for which the district cannot legally fund. 7

Changes in Net Position The District’s total revenue increased 3% to $237,519,459. State and federal aid 33% and property taxes 54% accounted for most of the District’s revenue. The remaining 13% of the revenue comes from operating grants, charges for services, use of money and property, compensation for loss, and miscellaneous revenues. The total cost of all the programs and services decreased 27% to $178,912,901. The District’s expenses are predominately related to education and caring for the students (instruction) 72%. General support which included expenses associated with the operation, maintenance and administration of the District accounted for 12% of the total costs. See table below: Total Variance

Capital Projects Fund The Capital Projects Fund is used to account for and report financial resources that are restricted, committed or assigned to expenditure for the acquisition or construction of capital facilities and other capital assets, such as equipment. A Capital Projects Fund must be used if the acquisition or construction is financed in whole or in part from the proceeds of obligations, but may include funding from Federal, State and local sources. At the end of the current year, the total fund balance of the Capital Projects Fund was ($19,532,488) and a summary of the projects can be found in the financial statements. The largest component of the capital projects fund is the $85 million dollar Capital Improvement project approved in October 2023 and is being finances with $10 million dollars in local fund and $75 million in debt. Fund balance for the Capital Projects Fund decreased by $15,243,940 compared with the prior year. See table below:

The $85 million dollar project is 35% complete and relates to the increases to total expenditures for the projects. In addition, the District purchased $2.3 million dollars in buses and had $5.2 Million in lease transactions which also are included in the Proceeds from Obligations. Proceeds from obligations decreased as the district issued the permanent financing (Serial Bonds) in 2025 for the 43 million dollar Capital improvement project. The Unassigned fund balance decrease relates to the issuance of Bond Anticipation Notes to for the $85 million dollar project and once the permanent financing is obtained the deficit will be eliminated.

Significant Capital Asset and Long-Term Financing Activity Significant Capital and Right to Use Assets Capital assets are accounted for at historical (actual) cost or, if the cost is not practicably determinable, at estimated cost. The cost of the capital asset should include ancillary charges necessary to place the asset into use. Donated capital assets and capital assets acquired in a service concession arrangement should be recorded at acquisition value. Acquisition value is the price that would be paid to acquire an asset with equivalent service potential at the acquisition date, or the amount at which a liability could be liquidated with the counter party at the acquisition. Right to use assets (leases) are valued at the future minimum lease payment. By the end of the 2026 fiscal year, the District had invested $225,859,365 in a broad range of capital and lease assets, including land, work in progress, buildings and improvements, and machinery and equipment. The change in capital assets and leased assets, net of accumulated depreciation (capital assets) and amortization (leased assets), is reflected below: 2026 Capital Assets: Land Work in Progress Buildings and Improvements Machinery and Equipment Total Capital Assets Lease Assets: Equipment Subscription IT Assets Total Lease Assets

On June 24, 2011, Chapter 97 of the Laws of 2011 (herein referred to as the “Tax Levy Limit Law” or “Law”) was signed by the Governor. The Tax Levy Limit Law modifies current law by imposing a limit on the amount of real property taxes that a school district may levy. The Law will affect school district tax levies for the school district financial year beginning July 1, 2012. On April 12, 2019 the enacted State budget legislation for fiscal year 2020 made the Tax Levy Limitation Law permanent. Prior to the enactment of the Law, there was no statutory limitation on the amount of real property taxes that a school district could levy if its budget had been approved by a simple majority of its voters. In the event the budget had been defeated by the voters, the school district was required to adopt a contingency budget. Under a contingency budget, school budget increases were limited to the lesser of four percent (4%) of the prior year’s budget or one hundred twenty percent (120%) of the consumer price index (“CPI”). The Tax Levy Limit Law imposed a limitation on the amount of tax levy growth from one fiscal year to the next. Such limitation is the lesser of (i) 2% or (ii) the annual percentage increase in the consumer price index, as described in the Law. Tax levies that do not exceed such limit will require approval by at least 50% of the voters. Approval by at least 60% of the voters will be required for a tax levy in excess of the limit. In the event the voters reject the tax levy, the school district’s tax levy for the ensuing fiscal year may not exceed the amount of the tax levy for the prior fiscal year, without any stated exceptions.

15

The Law sets forth several exceptions to the tax levy limit for school districts. These include taxes to pay the local share of debt service on voter approved capital expenditures, certain pension cost increases, and other items enumerated in the Law. School districts will be permitted to carry forward a certain portion of their unused tax levy limitation from a prior year. The Law provides an express exception from the limitation for those taxes to be levied to pay the local share of debt service on voter approved capital expenditures. However, Such exception would not apply to taxes to be levied commencing in the 2012-13 fiscal year of a school district to pay debt service on tax anticipation notes, revenue anticipation notes, budget notes and deficiency notes; and any obligations issued to finance deficits and certain judgements, including tax certiorari payments.

Enrollment in the district has steadily declined since the 2007-08 school year with an acceleration of the enrollment declining during the COVID 19 pandemic years. The chart represents one of the main foundation aid formula points for Total Wealth Pupil Units. This is the pupil count used along with other wealth variable to measure the relative wealth of a district. When compared to Monroe county over the last five years the TWPU for Webster has declined at 1.24% while the county average has declined at 1.52%. Combined with enrollment decreases the relative wealth of the district has increased as well over the past several years. The district's Combined Wealth Ratio (CWR) has increased from .863 to .905 over the past five years with one being the average. For comparison, the Monroe County average is a .781 and the New York State Average is 1.0 The two main drivers of the increase in wealth for the district have been the increase in property values per pupil as well as income per pupil. These are the two main drivers of the CWR formula, which then is incorporated into the foundation aid formula. Webster has seen a 24.48% increase in income per pupil in the last five years and a 37.4% increase in property valuation per pupil.

Other Postemployment Benefits (OPEB) OPEB refers to "other post-employment benefits," meaning other than pension benefits, disability benefits and OPEB consist primarily of health care benefits, and may include other benefits such as disability benefits and life insurance. In 2015, the Governmental Accounting Standards Board ("GASB") released new accounting standards for public Other Post-Employment Benefits (“OPEB”) plans and participating employers. These standards, GASB Statement No. 75, Accounting and Financial Reporting for Postemployment Benefits Other Than Pensions ("GASB 75"), have substantially revised the valuation and accounting requirements previously mandated under GASB Statements No. 43 and 45. The implementation of this statement requires District’s to report OPEB liabilities, OPEB expenses, deferred outflow of resources and deferred inflow of resources related to OPEB. GASB Statement No. 75 replaced GASB Statement 45, which also required the District to calculate and report a net OPEB obligation. However, under GASB 45 districts could amortize the OPEB liability over a period of years, whereas GASB 75 requires districts to report the entire OPEB liability on the statement of net position.

The chart below shows the total OPEB obligation as a percentage to the General Fund budget.

The District continues to see this expenditure to be a significant impact on the overall budget. The District reviews and evaluates the health insurance programs we participate in on an annual basis in order to control the overall cost of health insurance for our active and retired employees. Through our participation in the Rochester Area School Health Plans I and II we have made available new programs for health savings accounts and other subsidy plans to help control those costs. School districts and Boards of Cooperative Educational Services, unlike other municipal units of government in the State, have been prohibited from reducing health benefits received by or increasing health care contributions paid by retirees below the level of benefits or contributions afforded to or required from active employees since the implementation of Chapter 729 of the Laws of 1994. Legislative attempts to provide similar protection to retirees of other local units of government in the State have not succeeded as of this date. Nevertheless, many such retirees of all varieties of municipal units in the State do presently receive such benefits.

Zero Emission Vehicle Mandate New York State’s zero-emission school bus mandate (Education Law §3638) requires all public school districts, as well as any contracted transportation providers, to transition to fully zero-emission (primarily electric) school bus fleets over time. Under the law, districts must ensure that all new school bus purchases or leases meet zero-emission standards by the applicable deadline (originally July 1, 2027, with recent updates extending to approximately 2032) and must include the same requirement in transportation service contracts. In addition, districts are required to phase out all gasoline and diesel buses so that, by the final statutory deadline (originally July 1, 2035, with potential extension to 2040), only zero-emission buses are operated and maintained. The law also includes procurement provisions such as domestic manufacturing requirements and permits limited waivers for interim compliance challenges, while maintaining the ultimate conversion requirement. To support implementation, the State has established significant funding programs, including the NYSERDA School Bus Incentive Program funded in part by the Environmental Bond Act, which provides financial assistance for electric bus purchases, charging infrastructure, and fleet electrification planning.

WEBSTER CENTRAL SCHOOL DISTRICT, NEW YORK Notes To The Basic Financial Statements June 30, 2026 I.

Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

The financial statements of the Webster Central School District, New York (the District) have been prepared in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP) as applied to government units. The Governmental Accounting Standards Board (GASB) is the accepted standard setting body for establishing governmental accounting and financial reporting principles. The more significant of the District's accounting policies are described below. A.

Reporting Entity

AF T

The District is governed by the laws of New York State. The District is an independent entity governed by an elected Board of Education consisting of seven members. The President of the Board serves as the chief fiscal officer and the Superintendent is the chief executive officer. The Board is responsible for, and controls all activities related to public school education within the District. Board members have authority to make decisions, power to appoint management, and primary accountability for all fiscal matters.

D

R

The reporting entity of the District is based upon criteria set forth by GASB Statement 14, The Financial Reporting Entity, as amended by GASB Statement 39, Component Units and GASB Statement No. 61, The Financial reporting Entity. The financial reporting entity consists of the primary government, organizations for which the primary government is financially accountable and other organizations for which the nature and significance of their relationship with the primary government are such that exclusion would cause the reporting entity’s financial statements to be misleading or incomplete.

1S

T

The District is not a component unit of another reporting entity. The decision to include a potential component unit in the District’s reporting entity is based on several criteria including legal standing, fiscal dependency, and financial accountability. Based on the application of these criteria, the following is a brief review of certain entities included in the District’s reporting entity. 1.

Extraclassroom Activity Funds

The extraclassroom activity funds of the District represent funds of the students of the District. The Board of Education exercises general oversight of these funds. The extraclassroom activity funds are independent of the District with respect to its financial transactions, and the designation of student management. Separate audited financial statements (cash basis) of the extraclassroom activity funds can be found at the District’s business office. The District accounts for assets held for various student organizations in the Custodial Fund. B.

Joint Venture

The District is a component of the First Supervisory District of Monroe County Board of Cooperative Educational Services (BOCES). The BOCES is a voluntary, cooperative association of school districts in a geographic area that shares planning, services, and programs which provide educational and support activities. There is no authority or process by which a school district can terminate its status as a BOCES component. 26

( I. ) (Continued) BOCES are organized under §1950 of the New York State Education Law. A BOCES Board is considered a corporate body. Members of a BOCES Board are nominated and elected by their component member boards in accordance with provisions of §1950 of the New York State Education Law. All BOCES property is held by the BOCES Board as a corporation (§1950(6)). In addition, BOCES Boards also are considered municipal corporations to permit them to contract with other municipalities on a cooperative basis under §119-n(a) of the New York State General Municipal Law. A BOCES’ budget is comprised of separate budgets for administrative, program, and capital costs. Each component school district’s share of administrative and capital cost is determined by resident public school district enrollment as defined in Education Law, Section 1950(4)(b)(7). In addition, component districts pay tuition or a service fee for programs in which its students participate. During the year, the District was billed $17,798,442 for BOCES administrative and program costs.

AF T

The District’s share of BOCES aid amounted to $8,048,077. Financial statements for the BOCES are available from the BOCES administrative office. Basis of Presentation 1.

Districtwide Statements

T

D

R

The Statement of Net Position and the Statement of Activities present financial information about the District’s governmental activities. These statements include the financial activities of the overall government in its entirety, except those that are fiduciary. Eliminations have been made to minimize the double counting of internal transactions. Governmental activities generally are financed through taxes, state aid, intergovernmental revenues, and other exchange and nonexchange transactions. Operating grants include operating-specific and discretionary (either operating or capital) grants, while the capital grants column reflects capital specific grants. The Statement of Activities presents a comparison between program expenses and revenues for each function of the District’s governmental activities. Direct expenses are those that are specifically associated with and are clearly identifiable to a particular function. Indirect expenses, principally employee benefits, are allocated to functional areas in proportion to the payroll expended for those areas. Program revenues include charges paid by the recipients of goods or services offered by the programs, 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, including all taxes, are presented as general revenues.

1S

C.

2.

Fund Statements

The fund statements provide information about the District’s funds, including fiduciary funds. Separate statements for each fund category (governmental and fiduciary) are presented. The emphasis of fund financial statements is on major governmental funds, each displayed in a separate column. All remaining governmental funds are aggregated and reported as nonmajor funds.

27

( I. ) (Continued) The District reports the following governmental funds: a.

Major Governmental Funds

General Fund - This is the District’s primary operating fund. It accounts for all financial transactions that are not required to be accounted for in another fund. Capital Projects Fund - Used to account for the acquisition construction or major repair of capital facilities.

b. Nonmajor Governmental Funds - The other funds which are not considered major are aggregated and reported as nonmajor governmental funds as follows:

AF T

Special Aid Fund

This fund accounts for the proceeds of specific revenue sources, such as federal and state grants, that are legally restricted to expenditures for specified purposes. These legal restrictions may be imposed either by governments that provide the funds, or by outside parties. Debt Service Fund - This fund accounts for the accumulation of resources and the payment of principal and interest on long-term obligations for governmental activities.

R

School Lunch Fund

Used to account for transactions of the District’s lunch, breakfast and milk programs.

D

Miscellaneous Special Revenue Fund

used to account for and report those revenues that are restricted or committed to expenditures for specified purposes.

1S

T

c. Fiduciary Fund - Fiduciary activities are those in which the District acts as trustee or agent for resources that belong to others. These activities are not included in the District-wide financial statements, because their resources do not belong to the District, and are not available to be used. Custodial Funds - These funds are strictly custodial in nature and do not involve the measurement of results of operations. Assets are held by the District as agent for various student groups or extraclassroom activity funds.

D.

Measurement Focus and Basis of Accounting

Accounting and financial reporting treatment is determined by the applicable measurement focus and basis of accounting. Measurement focus indicates the type of resources being measured such as current financial resources or economic resources. The basis of accounting indicates the timing of transactions or events for recognition in the financial statements.

28

( I. ) (Continued) The District-wide and fiduciary fund financial statements are reported using the economic resources measurement focus and the accrual basis of accounting. Revenues are recorded when earned and expenses are recorded at the time liabilities are incurred, regardless of when the related cash transaction takes place. Nonexchange transactions, in which the District gives or receives value without directly receiving or giving equal value in exchange, include property taxes, grants 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 and donations is recognized in the fiscal year in which all eligibility requirements have been satisfied. The fund financial statements are reported using the current financial resources measurement focus and the modified accrual basis of accounting. Under this method, revenues are recognized when measurable and available. The District considers all revenues reported in the governmental funds to be available if the revenues are collected within one year after the end of the fiscal year.

E.

AF T

Expenditures are recorded when the related fund liability is incurred, except for principal and interest on general long-term debt, claims and judgments, and compensated absences, which are recognized as expenditures to the extent they have matured. General capital asset acquisitions are reported as expenditures in governmental funds. Proceeds of general long-term debt and acquisitions under capital leases are reported as other financing sources. Property Taxes

R

Real property taxes are levied annually by the Board of Education no later than September 1, and became a lien on August 19, 2025. Taxes were collected during the period September 1 through October 31, 2025.

D

Uncollected real property taxes are subsequently enforced by the County of Monroe, in which the District is located. An amount representing uncollected real property taxes transmitted to the Counties for enforcement is paid by the Counties to the District no later than the forthcoming April 1. Restricted Resources

T

F.

G.

1S

When an expense is incurred for purposes for which both restricted and unrestricted net position are available, the District’s policy concerning which to apply first varies with the intended use, and with associated legal requirements, many of which are described elsewhere in these notes. Interfund Transactions

The operations of the District include transactions between funds. These transactions may be temporary in nature, such as with interfund borrowing. The District typically loans resources between funds for the purpose of providing cash flow. These interfund receivables and payables are expected to be repaid within one year. Permanent transfers of funds include the transfer of expenditures and revenues to provide financing or other services. In the District-wide statements, the amounts reported on the Statement of Net Position for interfund receivables and payables represent amounts due between different fund types (governmental activities and fiduciary funds). Eliminations have been made for all interfund receivables and payables between the funds.

29

( I. ) (Continued) The governmental funds report all interfund transactions as originally recorded. Interfund receivables and payables may be netted on the accompanying governmental funds balance sheet when it is the District’s practice to settle these amounts at a net balance based upon the right of legal offset. Refer to Note V for a detailed disclosure by individual fund for interfund receivables, payables, expenditures, and revenues activity. H.

Estimates

I.

AF T

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amount of assets, deferred outflows of resources, liabilities, and deferred inflows of resources and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported revenues and expenses/expenditures during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates. Estimates and assumptions are made in a variety of areas, including computation of encumbrances, compensated absences, potential contingent liabilities and useful lives of long-lived assets. Cash and Cash Equivalents

The District’s cash and cash equivalents consist of cash on hand, demand deposits, and short-term investments with original maturities of three months or less from the date of acquisition.

D

R

New York State Law governs the District’s investment policies. Resources must be deposited in FDICinsured commercial banks or trust companies located within the State. Permissible investments include obligations of the United States Treasury, United States Agencies, repurchase agreements and obligations of New York State or its localities.

Investments

1S

J.

T

Collateral is required for demand and time deposits and certificates of deposit not covered by FDIC insurance. Obligations that may be pledged as collateral are obligations of the United States and its agencies and obligations of the State and its municipalities and Districts.

The District participates in the New York Cooperative Liquid Assets Securities System (NYCLASS) local government investment pool. NYCLASS measures its investments at fair value in accordance with Paragraph 41 of GASB Statement 79 and Paragraph 11 of GASB Statement 31, and therefore a participant’s investment in NYCLASS is not required to be categorized within the fair value hierarchy for purposes of 81a(2) of GASB Statement 72. Investments are stated at fair value which is the price that would be received to sell an investment in an orderly transaction at year end. The District participates in pooled investments and U.S. Treasury’s. K.

Receivables

Receivables are shown net of an allowance for uncollectible accounts, when applicable. In addition, the District will report a receivable relating to a lease arrangement. The receivable is recorded at the present value of the future payments and recognized over the life of the lease.

30

( I. ) (Continued) L.

Inventory and Prepaid Items

Inventories of food and/or supplies for school lunch are recorded at cost on a first-in, first-out basis or, in the case of surplus food, at stated value which approximates market. Purchases of inventoriable items in other funds are recorded as expenditures at the time of purchase and are considered immaterial in amount. Prepaid items represent payments made by the District for which benefits extend beyond year end. These payments to vendors reflect costs applicable to future accounting periods and are recorded as prepaid items in both the District-wide and fund financial statements. These items are reported as assets on the Statement of Net Position or balance sheet using the consumption method. A current asset for the prepaid amounts is recorded at the time of purchase and an expense/expenditure is reported in the year the goods or services are consumed.

M.

AF T

A nonspendable fund balance for these non-liquid assets (inventories and prepaid items) has been recognized to signify that a portion of fund balance is not available for other subsequent expenditures. Capital Assets

In the District-wide financial statements, capital assets are accounted for at historical cost or estimated historical cost if actual is unavailable, except for donated capital assets which are recorded at their acquisition value at the date of donation.

D

R

Depreciation of all exhaustible capital assets is recorded as an allocated expense in the Statement of Activities, with accumulated depreciation reflected in the Statement of Net Position. Depreciation is provided over the assets’ estimated useful lives using the straight-line method of depreciation. The range of estimated useful lives and capitalization threshold by type of assets is as follows:

T

Class

1S

Buildings Machinery and Equipment

Capitalization Threshold $ 50,000 $ 5,000

Depreciation Method SL SL

Estimated Useful Life 15-50 Years 5-25 Years

The investment in infrastructure type assets have not been segregated for reporting purposes since all costs associated with capital projects are consolidated and reported as additions to buildings and improvements. N.

Right To Use Assets

The District-wide financial statements, right-to-use-assets are reported within the major class of the underlying asset and valued at the future minimum lease payment. Amortization is between 2 and 5 years based on the contract terms and/or estimated replacement of the assets. O.

Unearned Revenue

The District reports unearned revenues on its Statement of Net Position and its Balance Sheet. On the Statement of Net Position, unearned revenue arises when resources are received by the District before it has legal claim to them, as when grant monies are received prior to incurrence of qualifying expenditures. In subsequent periods, when the District has legal claim to resources, the liability for unearned revenue is removed and revenue is recognized.

31

( I. ) (Continued) P.

Deferred Outflows and Inflows of Resources

In addition to assets, the Statement of Net Position will sometimes report a separate section for deferred outflows of resources. This separate financial statement element, deferred outflows of resources, represents a consumption of net position that applies to a future period and so will not be recognized as an outflow of resources (expenses/expenditure) until that time. In addition to liabilities, the Statement of Net Position will sometimes report a separate section for deferred inflows of resources. This separate financial statement element, deferred inflows of resources, represents an acquisition of net position that applies to a future period(s) and so will not be recognized as an inflow of resources (revenue) until that time. Vested Employee Benefits 1.

Compensated Absences

AF T

Q.

The District, based on policy and/or various negotiated labor or employment contracts, recognizes a liability for compensated absences for leave time that: has been earned for services previously rendered by employees. has accumulated and is allowed to be carried over into subsequent years. is more likely than not to be used as time off or settled (for example paid in cash to the employee or as a payment to an employee 403b or medical spending account) during or upon separation from employment.

R

(a) (b) (c)

1S

T

D

Based on the criteria listed, only vacation leave, sick leave and sick leave banks meet the qualifications to be recognized as a liability for compensated absences. The total long-term estimated liability for compensated absences is reported as incurred in the District-wide financial statements. The short-term liability for compensated absences is recorded in the governmental funds only if the liability has matured because of employee resignations or retirements. The liability for compensated absences includes salary-related benefits, where applicable. Consistent with GASB Statement 101, Compensated Absences, the liability has been calculated using the more likely than not to be used as leave or settled at separation method with the compensated absences liability being calculated based on the pay rates in effect at year end. R.

Other Benefits

District employees participate in the New York State Employees’ Retirement System and the New York State Teachers’ Retirement System. In addition to providing pension benefits, the District provides post-employment health coverage to retired employees in accordance with the provision of various employment contracts in effect at the time of retirement. Substantially all of the District’s employees may become eligible for these benefits if they reach normal retirement age while working for the District. Health care benefits are provided through plans whose premiums are based on the benefits paid during the year. The cost of providing post-retirement benefits may be shared between the District and the retired employee. The District recognizes the cost of providing health insurance by recording its share of insurance premiums as an expenditure.

32

( I. ) (Continued) S.

Short-Term Debt

The District may issue Bond Anticipation Notes (BANs), in anticipation of proceeds from the subsequent sale of bonds. These notes are recorded as current liabilities of the funds that will actually receive the proceeds from the issuance of bonds. State law requires that a BAN issued for capital purposes be converted to long-term financing within five years after the original issue date. T.

Accrued Liabilities and Long-Term Obligations

Payables, accrued liabilities, and long-term obligations are reported in the District-wide financial statements. In the governmental funds, payables and accrued liabilities are paid in a timely manner and in full from current financial resources. Claims and judgments, other postemployment benefits payable and compensated absences that will be paid from governmental funds are reported as a liability in the funds financial statements only to the extent that they are due for payment in the current year. Bonds and other long-term obligations that will be paid from governmental funds are recognized as a liability in the fund financial statements when due.

Equity Classifications 1.

District-wide Statements

R

In the District-wide statements there are three classes of net position:

D

a. Net Investment in Capital Assets - consists of net capital assets (cost less accumulated depreciation) reduced by outstanding balances of related debt obligations from the acquisition, constructions or improvements of those assets.

T

b. Restricted Net Position - reports net position when constraints placed on the assets or deferred outflows of resources are either externally imposed by creditors (such as through debt covenants), grantors, contributors, or laws or regulations of other governments, or imposed by law through constitutional provisions or enabling legislation.

1S

U.

AF T

Long-term obligations represent the District’s future obligations or future economic outflows. The liabilities are reported as due in one year or due within more than one year in the Statement of Net Position.

On the Statement of Net Position the following balances represent the restricted for other purposes: Total Capital Projects $ 645,942 Workers' Compensation Reserves 5,054,939 Unemployment Costs 1,234,563 Reserve for Property Loss 1,000,000 Insurance Reserve 6,037,268 Tax Certiorari Reserve 5,051,088 Reserve for Teacher Retirement System 6,800,225 Scholarships 129,813 Debt Service Reserve 5,065,638 Liability Reserve 6,054,843 Employee Benefit Accrued Liability Reserve 1,047,061 Total Net Position - Restricted for Other Purposes $ 38,121,380 33

( I. ) (Continued) c. Unrestricted Net Position - reports the balance of net position that does not meet the definition of the above two classifications . The reported deficit of $265,003,977 at year end is the result of full implementation of GASB #75 regarding retiree health obligations and the New York State Pension system unfunded pension obligation. 2.

Fund Statements

In the fund basis statements, there are five classifications of fund balance: a. Nonspendable Fund Balance – Includes amounts that cannot be spent because they are either not in spendable form or legally or contractually required to be maintained intact. Nonspendable fund balance includes inventory in School Lunch of $173,984.

AF T

b. Restricted Fund Balances – Includes amounts with constraints placed on the use of resources either externally imposed by creditors, grantors, contributors, or laws or regulations of other governments; or imposed by law through constitutional provisions or enabling legislation. All encumbrances of funds other than the General Fund are classified as restricted fund balance. The District has established the following restricted fund balances:

D

R

Reserve for Debt Service

According to General Municipal Law §6-1 , the Reserve for Debt Service must be established for the purpose of retiring the outstanding obligations upon the sale of District property or capital improvement that was financed by obligations that remain outstanding at the time of the sale. Also, earnings on project monies invested together with unused proceeds are reported here.

1S

T

Capital Reserve

According to Education Law §3651, must be used to pay the cost of any object or purpose for which bonds may be issued. The creation of a capital reserve fund requires authorization by a majority of the voters establishing the purpose of the reserve; the ultimate amount, its probable term and the source of the funds. Expenditures may be made from the reserve only for a specific purpose further authorized by the voters. The form for required legal notice for the vote on establishing and funding the reserve and the form of the proposition to be placed on the ballot are set forth in §3651 of the Education Law. The Reserve is accounted for in the General Fund under restricted fund balance. Year end balances are as follows: Total Name Maximum Total Funding Year to Date of Reserve Funding Provided Balance 2026 Capital Reserve $ 45,000,000 $ 9,066,478 $ 9,066,478 Employee Benefit Accrued Liability Reserve - According to General Municipal Law §6-p, must be used for the payment of accrued employee benefits due to an employee upon termination of the employee’s service. This reserve may be established by a majority vote of the Board, and is funded by budgetary appropriations and such other reserves and funds that may be legally appropriated.

34

( I. ) (Continued) Teachers’ Retirement Reserve – General Municipal Law §6-r was amended to include a Teachers’ Retirement Reserve (TRS) sub-fund. The reserve has an annual funding limit of 2% of the prior year TRS salaries and a maximum cumulative total balance of 10% of the previous year’s TRS salary.

Insurance Reserve

According to General Municipal Law §6-n, must be used to pay liability, casualty and other types of losses, except losses incurred for which the following types of insurance may be purchased: life, accident, health, annuities, fidelity and surety, credit, title residual value and mortgage guarantee. In addition, this reserve may not be used for any purpose for which a special reserve may be established pursuant to law (for example, for unemployment compensation insurance). The reserve may be established by Board action, and funded by budgetary appropriation, or such other funds as may be legally appropriated. There is no limit on the amount that may be accumulated in the Insurance Reserve, however, the annual contribution to this reserve may not exceed the greater of $33,000 or 5% of the budget. Settled or compromised claims up to $25,000 may be paid from the reserve without judicial approval.

R

Property Loss & Liability Reserves - According to General Municipal Law §1709(8)(c), must be used to pay for property loss and liability claims incurred. Separate funds for property loss and liability claims are required, and these reserves may not in total exceed 3% of the annual budget or $15,000, whichever is greater.

T

D

Retirement Contribution Reserve

According to General Municipal Law §6-r, must be used financing retirement contributions. The reserve must be accounted for separate and apart from all other funds and a detailed report of the operation and condition of the fund must be provided to the Board.

1S

Tax Certiorari Reserve

According to General Municipal Law §3651.1-a, must be used to establish a reserve fund for tax certiorari claims and to expend from the fund without voter approval. The monies held in the reserve shall not exceed the amount which might reasonably be deemed necessary to meet anticipated judgments and claims arising out of tax certiorari proceedings. Any resources deposited to the reserve which are not expended for tax certiorari proceeding in the year such monies are deposited must be returned to the General Fund on or before the first day of the fourth fiscal year after deposit of these monies.

Unemployment Insurance Reserve

According to General Municipal Law §6m, must be used to pay the cost of reimbursement to the State Unemployment Insurance Fund for payments made to claimants where the employer has elected to use the benefit reimbursement method. The reserve may be established by Board action and is funded by budgetary appropriations and such other funds as may be legally appropriated. Within sixty days after the end of any fiscal year, excess amounts may either be transferred to another reserve or the excess applied to the appropriations of the next succeeding fiscal year’s budget. If the District elects to convert to tax (contribution) basis, excess resources in the fund over the sum sufficient to pay pending claims may be transferred to any other reserve fund.

35

( I. ) (Continued) Workers’ Compensation Reserves- According to General Municipal Law ̕§6-j, must be used to pay for compensation benefits and other expenses authorized by Article 2 of the Workers’ Compensation Law, and for payment of expenses of administering this self-insurance program. The reserve may be established by Board action, and is funded by budgetary appropriations and such other funds as may be legally appropriated. Within sixty days after the end of any fiscal year, excess amounts may either be transferred to another reserve or the excess applied to the appropriations of the next succeeding fiscal year’s budget.

Encumbrances

Encumbrance accounting, under which purchase orders, contracts and other commitments of expenditures are recorded for budgetary control purposes in order to reserve applicable appropriations, is employed as a control in preventing over-expenditure of established appropriations. Open encumbrances are reported as restricted fund balance in all funds other than the General Fund and School Lunch Fund, since they do not constitute expenditures or liabilities and will be honored through budget appropriations in the subsequent year. Restricted fund balances include the following:

The District has no committed fund balances as of June 30, 2026. d. Assigned Fund Balance – Includes amounts that are constrained by the District’s intent to be used for specific purposes, but are neither restricted nor committed. All encumbrances of the General Fund are classified as assigned fund balance. Encumbrances represent purchase commitments made by the District’s purchasing agent through their authorization of a purchase order prior to year-end. The District assignment is based on the functional level of expenditures. Management has determined significant encumbrances for the General Fund to be $780,000, the Capital Projects Fund to be $67,000 and Nonmajor funds to be $62,000..

e. Unassigned Fund Balance –Includes all other General Fund amounts that do not meet the definition of the above four classifications and are deemed to be available for general use by the school district and could report a surplus or deficit. In funds other than the General Fund, the unassigned classification is used to report a deficit fund balance resulting from overspending for specific purposes for which amounts had been restricted or assigned. NYS Real Property Tax Law 1318 limits the amount of unexpended surplus funds a school district can retain to no more than 4% of the District’s budget for the General Fund for the ensuing fiscal year. Nonspendable and restricted fund balance of the General Fund are excluded from the 4% limitation. Amounts appropriated for the subsequent year and encumbrances are also excluded from the 4% limitation.

3.

Order of Use of Fund Balance

The District’s policy is to apply expenditures against nonspendable fund balance, restricted fund balance, committed fund balance, assigned fund balance, and unassigned fund balance at the end of the fiscal year. For all funds, nonspendable fund balances are determined first and then restricted fund balances for specific purposes are determined. Any remaining fund balance amounts for funds other than the General Fund are classified as restricted fund balance. In the General Fund, the remaining amounts are reported as unassigned. Assignments of fund balance cannot cause a negative unassigned fund balance. 37

New Accounting Standards

The District has adopted all current Statements of the Governmental Accounting Standards Board (GASB) that are applicable. At June 30, 2026, the District implemented the following new standards issued by GASB: GASB has issued Statement No. 103, Financial Reporting Model Improvements. GASB has issued Statement No. 104, Disclosure of Certain Capital Assets. W.

Future Changes in Accounting Standards

GASB has issued Statement No. 105, Subsequent Events, which will be effective for fiscal years beginning after June 15, 2026.

Budgets

D

A.

R

By its nature as a local government unit, the District is subject to various federal, state and local laws and contractual regulations. An analysis of the District’s compliance with significant laws and regulations and demonstration of its stewardship over District resources follows.

T

The District administration prepares a proposed budget for approval by the Board of Education for the General Fund.

1S

The voters of the District approved the proposed appropriation budget. Appropriations established by adoption of the budget constitute a limitation on expenditures (and encumbrances) which may be incurred. Appropriations lapse at the end of the fiscal year unless expended or encumbered. Encumbrances will lapse if not expended in the subsequent year. Appropriations authorized for the current year are increased by the planned use of specific reserves, and budget amendments approved by the Board of Education as a result of selected new revenue sources not included in the original budget (when permitted by law). These supplemental appropriations may occur subject to legal restriction, if the Board approves them because of a need which exists which was not determined at the time the budget was adopted. During 2025-26, the budget was increased $171,893 for carryover encumbrances. Budgets are adopted annually on a basis consistent with GAAP. Appropriations authorized for the year are increased by the amount of encumbrances carried forward from the prior year. Budgets are established and used for individual Capital Projects Fund expenditures as approved by a special referendum of the District’s voters. The maximum project amount authorized is based primarily upon the cost of the project, plus any requirements for external borrowings, not annual appropriations. These budgets do not lapse and are carried over to subsequent fiscal years until the completion of the projects. 38

( II. ) (Continued) B.

Encumbrances

Encumbrance accounting is used for budget control and monitoring purposes and is reported as a part of the governmental funds. Under this method, purchase orders, contracts, and other commitments for the expenditure of monies are recorded to reserve applicable appropriations. Outstanding encumbrances as of yearend are presented as reservations of fund balance and do not represent expenditures or liabilities. These commitments will be honored in the subsequent period. Related expenditures are recognized at that time, as the liability is incurred, or the commitment is paid. C.

Deficit Net Position

D.

AF T

The District-wide net position had a deficit at June 30, 2026 of $107,623,382. The deficit is the result of the implementation of GASB Statement 75, “Accounting and Financial Reporting by Employers for Postemployment Benefits Other Than Pensions”, which required the recognition of an unfunded liability of $254,267,087 at June 30, 2026. Since New York State Laws provide no mechanism for funding the liability, the subsequent accruals are expected to increase the deficit. Deficit Fund Balance – Capital Projects Fund

III.

Cash and Investments

D

R

The Capital Projects Fund had a deficit fund balance of $19,532,488 at June 30, 2026, which is a result of bond anticipation notes which are used as a temporary means of financing capital projects. These proceeds are not recognized as revenue but merely serve to provide cash to meet expenditures. This results in the creation of a fund deficit which will remain until the notes are replaced by permanent financing (i.e., bonds, grants-in-aid, or redemption from current appropriations).

Custodial Credit Risk

is the risk that in the event of a bank failure, the District’s deposits may not be returned to it. While the District does not have a specific policy for custodial credit risk, New York State statutes govern the District’s investment policies, as discussed previously in these notes. The U.S. Treasuries within the NYCLASS investment portfolio are backed by the full faith and credit of the United States Government and therefore do not require collateral. New York State Municipal Bonds within the portfolio are backed by the full faith and credit of the State of New York and therefore do not require collateral. The other permissible investment security types are collateralized in accordance with NYS GML Section 10 and the NYCLASS Investment Policy. Repurchase Agreements (repos) are collateralized 102% by either U.S. Treasuries or U.S. Agencies. Certificates of Deposit (CD) also require full collateral; currently NYCLASS CDs are being collateralized by Federal Home Loan Bank (FHLB) Letters of Credit (LOC). Credit Risk: In compliance with the State Law, District investments are limited to obligations of the United States of America, obligations guaranteed by agencies of the United States of America whether the payment of principal and interest are guaranteed by the United States of America, obligations of the State, time deposit accounts and certificates of deposit issued by a bank or trust company located in, and authorized to do business in, the States, obligations issued by other municipalities and authorities with the State, and certain pooled investments NYCLASS is rated by S&P Global ratings. The current rating is AAAm. Concentration of Credit Risk: To promote competition in rates and service costs, and to limit the risk of institutional failure, District deposits and investments are placed with multiple institutions. The District’s investment policy limits the amounts that may be deposited with any one financial institution. 39

( III. ) (Continued) Interest Rate Risk: The District has an investment policy that limits investment maturities as a means of managing its exposure to fair value losses arising from rising interest rates. NYCLASS: The dollar weighted average days to maturity (WAM) of NYCLASS at June 30, 2026, was 40.84 days. The weighted average life (WAL) of NYCLASS at December 31, 2025 was 79.99 days. The WAM of NYCLASS Prime at June 30, 2026 was 39.11 days and the WAL was 60.46 days. A.

The fair value measurements of the investments noted above have been classified by 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 investments. The levels of the fair value hierarchy are as follows: Level 1 – Quoted price for identical assets in an active market. Level 2 – (A) Quoted princes for similar assets or liabilities in active markets; (B) Quoted prices for identical or similar assets or liabilities in markets that are not active; (C) Inputs other than quoted prices that are observable for the assets or liability, such as (1) invest rates and yield curves observable at commonly quoted intervals (2) implied volatilities (3) credit spreads; (D) Marketcorroborated inputs. Level 3 – Unobservable inputs for an asset or liability are significant to the fair value measurement.

TRS provides benefits to plan members and beneficiaries as authorized by the Education Law and the New York State Retirement and Social Security Law (NYSRSSL). Membership is mandatory and automatic for all full-time teachers, teaching assistants, guidance counselors and administrators employed in New York Public Schools and BOCES who elected to participate in TRS. Once a public employer elects to participate in the system, the election is irrevocable. The New York State Constitution provides that pension membership is a contractual relationship and plan benefits cannot be diminished or impaired. Benefits can be changed for future members only by enactment of a State statute. TRS issues a publicly available financial report that contains financial statements and required supplementary information. The report may be obtained by writing to NYSTRS, 10 Corporate Woods Drive, Albany, New York 12211-2395 or by referring to the TRS Comprehensive Annual Financial report, which can be found on the System’s website at www.nystrs.org.

ERS provides retirement benefits as well as death and disability benefits. The net position of the System is held in the New York State Common Retirement Fund (the Fund), which was established to hold all net assets and record changes in plan net position allocated to the System. The Comptroller of the State of New York serves as the trustee of the Fund and is the administrative head of the System. NYSRSSL govern obligations of employers and employees to contribute, and benefits to employees. Once a public employer elects to participate in the System, the election is irrevocable. The New York State Constitution provides that pension membership is a contractual relationship and plan benefits cannot be diminished or impaired. Benefits can be changed for future members only by enactment of a State statute. The District also participates in the Public Employees’ Group Life Insurance Plan (GLIP), which provides death benefits in the form of life insurance. The System is included in the State’s financial report as a pension trust fund. ERS issues a publicly available financial report that includes financial statements and required supplementary information. That report may be obtained by writing to NYSERS, Office of the State Comptroller, 110 State Street, Albany, New York 12244 or by referring to the ERS Comprehensive Annual Report, which can be found at www.osc.state.ny.us/retire/publications/index.php.

The Systems are noncontributory except for employees who joined after July 27, 1976, who contribute 3% of their salary for the first ten years of membership, and employees who joined on or after January 1, 2010 who generally contribute 3.0 to 3.5% of their salary for their entire length of service. In addition, employee contribution rates under ERS Tier 6 vary based on a sliding salary scale. For TRS, contribution rates are established annually by the New York State Teachers’ Retirement Board pursuant to Article 11 of the Education Law. For ERS, the Comptroller annually certifies the actuarially determined rates expressly used in computing the employers’ contributions for the ERS’ fiscal year ended March 31. The District paid 100% of the required contributions as billed by the TRS and ERS for the current year.

Pension Liabilities, Pension Expense, and Deferred Outflows of Resources and Deferred Inflows of Resources related to Pensions

At June 30, 2026, the District reported the following asset/(liability) for its proportionate share of the net pension asset /(liability) for each of the Systems. The net pension asset/(liability) was measured as of March 31, 2026 for ERS and June 30, 2025 for TRS. The total pension asset/(liability) used to calculate the net pension asset/(liability) was determined by an actuarial valuation. The District’s proportion of the net pension asset/(liability) was based on a projection of the District’s long-term share of contributions to the Systems relative to the projected contributions of all participating members, actuarially determined.

For ERS, annuitant mortality rates are based on April 1, 2020 – March 31, 2025 System experience with adjustments for mortality improvements based on the Society of Actuaries’ Scale MP-2021. For TRS, annuitant mortality rates are based on plan member experience adjustments for mortality improvements based on Society of Actuaries Scale MP-2021. The long-term rate of return on pension plan investments was determined using a building block method in which best estimate ranges of expected future real rates of return (expected returns net of 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. Best estimates of the arithmetic real rates of return for each major asset class included in the target asset allocation as of March 31, 2026 or ERS and June 30, 2025 for TRS are summarized as follows:

1S

T

The discount rate used to calculate the total pension liability was 5.90% for ERS and 6.95% for TRS. The projection of cash flows used to determine the discount rate assumes that contributions from plan members will be made at the current contribution rates and that contributions from employers will be made at statutorily required rates, actuarially. Based upon the assumptions, the Systems’ 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. Sensitivity of the Net Pension Liability to the Discount Rate Assumption

The following presents the District’s proportionate share of the net pension liability calculated using the discount rate of 5.90% for ERS and 6.95% for TRS, as well as what the District’s proportionate share of the net pension asset/(liability) would be if it were calculated using a discount rate that is 1-percentage-point lower (4.90% for ERS and 5.95% for TRS) or 1-percentage-point higher (6.90% for ERS and 7.95% for TRS) than the current assumption:

Such claims are based on the ultimate cost of claims (including future claim adjustment expenses) that have been reported but not settled, and claims that have been incurred but not reported. Adjustments to claims liabilities are charged or credited to expenses in the periods in which they are made. During the year ended June 30, 2026, the District incurred premiums or contribution expenditures totaling $2,846,366.

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 Independent Auditors’ Report

AF T

To the Board of Education Webster Central School District, New York

R

We have audited, 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, the financial statements of the governmental activities, each major fund, and the aggregate remaining fund information of the Webster Central School District, New York (the District) as of and for the year ended June 30, 2026, and the related notes to the financial statements, which collectively comprise the District’s basic financial statements, and have issued our report thereon dated _________, 2026.

D

Report on Internal Control over Financial Reporting

1S

T

In planning and performing our audit of the financial statements, we considered the District’s internal control over financial reporting (internal control) as a basis for designing 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 District’s internal control. Accordingly, we do not express an opinion on the effectiveness of the District’s internal control. A deficiency in internal control 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 and correct misstatements on a timely basis. A material weakness is a deficiency, or a combination of deficiencies, in internal control, such that there is a reasonable possibility that a material misstatement of the entity’s financial statements will not be prevented, or detected and corrected on a timely basis. A significant deficiency is a deficiency, or a combination of deficiencies, in internal 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 purpose described in the first paragraph of this section and was not designed to identify all deficiencies in internal control that 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 or significant deficiencies may exist that have not been identified.

70

Report on Compliance and Other Matters As part of obtaining reasonable assurance about whether the District’s financial statements are free from 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 financial statements. 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. Purpose of this Report

AF T

The purpose of this report is solely to describe the scope of our testing of internal control and compliance and the results of that testing, and not to provide an opinion on the effectiveness of the District’s internal control or on compliance. This report is an integral part of an audit performed in accordance with Government Auditing Standards in considering the District’s internal control and compliance. Accordingly, this communication is not suitable for any other purpose.
