activities, each major fund and the aggregate remaining fund information of Radnor Township School
District (the IIDistrict Wayne, Pennsylvania, asof and for the year ended June 30, 2010, which collectively
ll
),

business-type activities, each major fund and the aggregate remaining fund information.
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 that our audit provides a reasonable basis for our opinions.

The management's discussion and analysis on pages 3-10 is not a required part of the basic financial
statements but is 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 opinions on the financial statements that collectively
comprise Radnor Township School District's basic financial statements. The accompanying schedule of
expenditures of federal awards and certain state grants is presented for purposes of additional analysis as
required by the U.S. Office of Management and BUdget Circular A-133, IIAudits of States, local
Governments and Nonprofit 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

WAYNE, PENNSYlVANIA
Management·s discussion and analysis ("MDM") of the financial performance of Radnor Township
School District (the "DistricfU) provides an overall review of the District's financial activities for the fiscal
year ended June 30, 2010.
The intent of the MD&A is to look at the District's financial performance as a whole. However, readers
also should review the financial statements and related notes to enhance their understanding of the
District's overall financial performance.
FINANCIAL HIGHLIGHTS
The trend of prior years indicates that during the fiscal year 2009-2010, the District would experience
another year of significant increases in the costs for contracted salaries and employee benefits. The
District again budgeted at an increased rate for the employer contribution toward the Pennsylvania
State Employees' Retirement System (PSERS) to prepare for the anticipated spike in future years. The
Board of School Directors (the "Boardll ) elected to increase the real estate tax millage by .7613 mills in
order to meet the operating cost increases in staff salaries and benefits. The 2009-2010 bUdget also
appropriated $525,000 for nonrecurring capital improvements. The results of operations for 2009-
2010 show that actual general fund expenditures during the year were below actual general fund
revenues realized by $4,547,471. However, the unreserved undesignated fund balance remains well
below the eight percent cap imposed by the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania at $5,686,510 due
largely to the Board's actions to designate $3.784 million for future PSERS pension obligations
predicted to hit over the course of the next three years and 3.455 million in capital project funds
designed to limit the impact of upcoming nonrecurring capital expenses on the operating bUdget
over the next several years. In addition, another $1 .29 million is designated for the long-term liability
of early retirement incentive programs.
The District's net assets increased from $7.310 million as of June 30, 2009 to $10.847 million as of June
30,2010 due mainly to the results of operations, more fully explained below.
The Statement of Net Assets and the Statement of Activities report information about the District and its
activities as a whole. These statements include all assets and liabilities using the accrual basis of
accounting similar to the accounting used by private sector corporations. All of the current year's
revenues and expenses are taken into consideration regardless of when cash is received or paid.
These two statements report the District's net assets and changes in them. The change in net assets
provides the reader with a tool to assist in determining whether the District's financial health'is
improving or deteriorating. The reader will need to consider other nonfinancial factors such as
property tax base, current property tax laws, student enrollment growth and facility conditions in
arriving at a conclusion regarding the overall health of the District.

MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS - UNAUDITED (CONrD)
For the Year Ended June 30,2010
Net assets may serve over time as a useful indicator of a government's financial position. In the case
of the District, assets exceeded liabilities by $10.8 million at the close of fiscal year 2009-2010.
A portion of the District's total net assets reflects its investment in capital assets, net of related debt.
The District uses capital assets to provide services; consequently, these assets are not available for
future spending. Although the 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.

LIABILITIES:
Current liabilities $ 9,452,438 $ 10,082,772 $ 91,885 $ 82,270 $ 9,544,323 $ 10,165,042

The District reported increases in its unrestricted net assets as a result of current year operations The
District's investment in capital assets, net of related debt, decreased as a result of the District's capital
assets being depreciated at a rate faster than debt associated with acquiring capital assets is being
retired. This trend will reverse in future periods. In addition it has been the practice of the District, when
possible, to fund capital items through current revenue sources rather than incurring debt to finance
these items.
Governmental Actlymes
The Statement of Activities shows the cost of program services and the charges for services and grants
offsetting those services. The table below reflects the cost of program services and the net cost of
those services after taking into account the program revenues for the governmental activities.

MANAGEMENTS DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS - UNAUDITED (CONTD)
For the Year Ended June 30, 2010
The increase in the net costs associated with instruction is a direct result of contractual increases in
salaries somewhat offset by staff reductions from the prior year. The District also experienced
significant decreased costs associated with the operation and maintenance of plant services as
concerted efforts were made to manage energy and fuel costs.

RADNOR TOWNSHIP SCHOOL DISTRICT
MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS - UNAUDITED (CONrD)
For the Year Ended June 30, 2010
The cost of all governmental activities in 2009-2010 was $73.115 million. The amount that taxpayers
ultimately financed for these activities through tax revenues was $63.560 million, or 86.93 percent. A
majority of the other costs were paid by government agencies and organizations that subsidized
funding with intergovernmental aid and contributions ($9.555 million, or 13.07 percent).
Business-type Activities
Business-type activities represent the District's food service program. The program had an increase in
net assets of $55 thousand for the year ended June 30, 2010. The increase was due primarily to
higher federal meal subsidy rates in the program over the prior year.
Governmental Funds
Most of the District's activities are reported in governmental funds, which focus on how money flows
into and out of those funds and the balances left at year end available for spending in future periods.
These funds are reported using the modified accrual accounting method, which measures cash and
other financial assets that can be readily converted to cash. The governmental fund statements
provide a detailed short-term view of the District's general government operations and the basic
services it provides. Governmental fund information helps the reader determine whether there are
more or fewer financial resources available to spend in the near future to finance the District's
programs. The relationship (or differences) between governmental activities (reported in the State-
ment of Net Assets and the Statement of Activities) and governmental funds is reconciled in the basic
financial statements.
Proprietary Funds
Proprietary funds use the accrual basis of accounting, the same as on the entity-wide statements;
therefore, the statements will essentially match the business-type activities portion of the entity-wide
statements.
Fiduc/arv Funds
The District is the agent, or fiduciary, for funds held on behalf of students of the District. All of the
District's fiduciary activities are reported in a separate Statement of Fiduciary Net Assets on page 21 .
The District excludes these activities from its other financial statements because the assets cannot be
utilized by the District to finance its operations.
Our analysis of the District's major funds begins on page 13 and provides detailed information about
the most significant funds - not the District as a whole. Some funds are required to be established by
State statute, while others are established by the District to help manage money for particular
purposes and compliance with various grant provisions. The District's three types of funds,
governmental, proprietary and fiduciary, use different accounting approaches as further described in
the notes to the financial statements.

MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS - UNAUDITED (CONrD)
For the Year Ended June 30. 2010
The District's governmental funds (as presented on the balance sheet on page 13) reported a
combined fund balance of $17.2 million, which is up significantly from last year's total of $13.7 million.
The schedule below indicates the fund balance and the total change in fund balances as of June 30,
2010 and 2009.
Changes in Fund Balance
Please note that the figures listed in the General Fund balance include a combination of both
designated and undesignated funds. As mentioned above, only $5.687 million of the $14.216 million
general fund balance was unreserved as the District ended the 2009-2010 fiscal year. All other funds
listed in the table experienced an overall decline in fund balance as funds on reserve were used to
fund various projects and purchases during the course of the 2009-2010 fiscal year.
In general, the District's general fund balance increase is due to the Board's decision to reserve funds
for future pension and nonrecurring capital items, and lower than anticipated expenses in the areas
of regUlar and special education instructional programs, operation and maintenance of facilities, and
student transportation.

MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANAlYSIS - UNAUDITED (CONT'D)
For the Year Ended June 30, 2010
Property tax revenue increased by a very modest $3.128 million over the prior year despite a .7613
mill increase in the District's millage rate. Other taxes increased by only $116 thousand due primarily
to the economic impact of the recession. Investment earnings declined sharply due to the major
decline in interest rates. Intergovernmental revenue increased because of ARRA funding from the
federal government. The District's reliance upon tax revenues is demonstrated by the graph on the
preceding page that Indicates 85.0 percent of total revenues for government activities comes from
local taxes. Other revenues consist primarily of facility rental, tuition payments and miscellaneous
revenues from student projects.
Expenditures
As the graph below illustrates, the largest portions of general fund expenditures are for salaries and
fringe benefits. The District is a service entity and as such is labor-intensive.

MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANAlVSIS - UNAUDITED (CONTD)
For the Year Ended June 30, 2010
Total $ 70,533,888
Expenditures increased by a very modest $208 thousand, or 0.27 percent, due largely to staffing
reduction.
The District's bUdget is prepared in accordance with Pennsylvania law and is based on the modified
accrual basis of accounting. The most significant bUdgeted fund is the General Fund.
The final bUdget for expenditures reflects required changes in functional categories due to spending
patterns.
Spending Review
Positive Percent
Budget Actual (Negative) Change
Major areas of the bUdget where actual costs were significantly below the bUdgeted amounts were in
the areas of regUlar and special education, operation and maintenance of facilities, student
transportation and data processing services. Under-spending in these areas was related to a
combination of salary and benefit reductions and less than anticipated costs for fuel and utilities.

As the District ended the 2009-2010 fiscal year, the labor agreement with the Radnor Township
Education Association (RTEA) was set to expire on August 31, 2010. At press time, (February 2011), the
renewal agreement with RTEA had not yet been approved. labor agreements with all other
bargaining units representing District employees are in place at this time.
Our financial report is designed to provide our citizens, taxpayers, parents, students, staff, investors
and creditors with a general overview of the District's finances and to show the Board's accountability
for the money it receives. If you have questions about this report or wish to request additional

RECONCILIATION OF STATEMENT OF REVENUES, EXPENDITURES AND CHANGES IN FUND BALANCES-
GOVERNMENTAL FUNDS TO STATEMENT OF ACTIVITIES
FOR THE YEAR ENDED JUNE 30, 2010
Debt proceeds are reported as financing sources in the governmental funds and
thus contribute to the change in fund balance. In the statement of net assets,
however, issuing debt increases long-term liabilities and does not affect the
statement of activities. Similarly, repayment of principal is an expenditure in
the governmental funds but reduces the liability in the statement of net assets.
This is the amount by which debt payments ($2,465,000) exceeded debt
issuance ($0). 2,465,000
Governmental funds report bond issuance cost, discounts and deferred amounts
on refunding as expenditures and bond premiums as revenue. However, these
amounts are reported on the statement of net assets as deferred charges and
credits and are amortized over the life of the debt. This is the amount by which
net amortization exceeded current issuance costs, discounts and deferred
amounts on refunding net of bond premiums. (77,665)
Interest on long-term debt in the statement of activities differs from the amount (34,366)
reported in the governmental funds b.ecause 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, however, interest expense
is recognized as the interest accrues, regardless of when it is due. (78,603)

RADNOR TOWNSHIP SCHOOL DISTRICT
Radnor Township School District (the IIDistrictll ) operates three elementary schools, one middle
school and one senior high school to provide education and related services to the residents of
Radnor Township. The District operates under current standards prescribed by the Pennsylvania
Department of Education in accordance with the provisions of the School laws of Pennsylvania as
a school district of the third class. The District operates under a locally elected nine-member
Board form of government.
The financial statements of the District have been prepared in accordance with generally
accepted accounting principles ("GAAP") as applied to governmental units. The Governmental
Accounting Standards Board ("GASBII) is the authoritative standard-setting body for the
establishment of governmental accounting and financial reporting principles.
Reporting Entity
GASB Statement No. 14, "The Financial Reporting Entity," as amended by GASB Statement No. 39,
established the criteria for determining the activities, organizations and functions of government
to be included in the financial statements of the reporting entity. In evaluating the District as a
reporting entity, management has addressed all potential component units which mayor may
not fall within the District's financial accountability. The criteria used to evaluate component units
for possible inclusion as part of the District's reporting entity are financial accountability and the
nature and significance of the relationship. The District is considered to be an independent
reporting entity and has no component units.
Basis of Presentation
The statement of net assets and the statement of activities display information about the District as
a whole. These statements distinguish between activities that are governmental and those that
are considered business-type. These statements include the financial activities of the primary
government, except for fiduciary funds.
The entity-wide financial statements are prepared using the economic resources measurement
focus and the accrual basis of accounting as further defined under proprietary funds below. This
is the same approach used in the preparation of the proprietary fund financial statements but
differs from the manner in which governmental fund financial statements are prepared.
Therefore, governmental fund financial statements include a reconciliation with brief explanations
to better identify the relationship between the entity-wide statements and the statements of
governmental funds.
The entity-wide statement of activities presents a comparison between expenses and program
revenues for each function of the business-type activities of the District and for each
governmental program. Expenses are those that are specifically associated with a service or
- 23 -
RADNOR TOWNSHIP SCHOOL DISTRICT
program and are, therefore, clearly identifiable to a particular function. Program revenues
include charges paid by the recipients of the goods or services offered by the programs, and
grants and contributions that are restricted to meeting the operational or capital requirements of
a particular function. Revenues which are not classified as program revenues are presented as
general revenues. The comparison of program revenues and expenses identifies the extent to
which each program is self-financing or draws from the general revenues of the District.
Except for interfund activity and balances between the funds that underlie governmental
activities and the funds that underlie business-type actiVities, which are reported as transfers and
internal balances, the effect of interfund activity has been removed from these statements.
The entity-wide financial statements report net assets in one of three components: invested in
capital assets, net of related debt, consists of capital assets, net of accumulated depreciation,
and reduced by the outstanding balances of borrowings attributable to acquiring, constructing
or improving those assets. Net assets are reported as restricted when constraints placed on net
asset use 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. Those restrictions affect net assets arising from the capital
projects fund. Unrestricted net assets consist of net assets that do not meet the definition of
lIinvested in capital assets, net of related debtll or II restricted. 1I
During the school year, the District segregates transactions related to certain District functions or
activities in separate funds in order to aid financial management and to demonstrate legal
compliance. fund financial statements report detailed information about the District. The focus
of governmental and enterprise fund financial statements is on major funds rather than reporting
funds by type. fiduciary fund financial statements are presented by fund type.
Governmental Funds
All governmental funds are accounted for using the modified accrual basis of accounting and
the current financial resources measurement focus. Under this basis, revenues are recognized in
the accounting period in which they become measurable and available. Expenditures are
recognized in the accounting period in which the fund liability is incurred, if measurable. The
District reports the following major governmental fund:
The General fund is the government's primary operating fund. It accounts for all financial
resources of the general government, including the athletic fund, except those required to be
accounted for in another fund.
The Capital Projects Fund is used to account for the acqUisition, construction and renovation of
major capital facilities and their related capital assets.
- 24 -
RADNOR TOWNSHIP SCHOOL DISTRICT
The Capital Reserve fund, are used to account for funds set aside for future capital needs.
The Pool Fund is used to account for the activities associated with operating the pool.
Revenue Recognition
In applying the "susceptible to accrual concept" under the modified accrual basis, 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 District considers tax
revenue to be available if collected within 60 days of the end of the fiscal period. Revenue from
federal, state and other grants designated for payment of specific District expenditures is
recognized when the related expenditures are incurred; accordingly, when such funds are
received, they are reported as deferred revenues until earned.
Other revenues, including certain other charges for services and miscellaneous revenues, are
recorded as revenue when received in cash because they generally are not measurable until
actually received.
Expenditure Recognition
Proprietary Funds
Proprietary funds are accounted for using the accrual basis of accounting. These funds account
for operations that are financed primarily by user charges. The economic resource focus
concerns determining costs as a means of maintaining the capital investment and management
control. Revenues are recognized when they are earned and expenses are recognized when
they are incurred. Allocations of certain costs, such as depreciation, are recorded in proprietary
funds. The District does not attempt to allocate all bUilding-wide costs to the proprietary fund.
Thus, general fund expenditures which partially benefit the proprietary fund (utilities, janitorial
services, insurance, etc.) are not proportionately recognized with the proprietary fund. Similarly,
the proprietary fund does not recognize a cost for the building space it occupies.
These 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 ongoing operations. The principal
operating revenues of the District's proprietary fund are food service charges. Operating
expenses for the District's proprietary fund include food production costs, supplies and
administrative costs. All revenues or expenses not meeting this definition are reported as
nonoperating revenues and expenses.
- 25 -
RADNOR TOWNSHIP SCHOOL DISTRICT
Private-sector standards of accounting and financial reporting issued prior to December 1, 1989
are followed in both the entity-wide and proprietary fund financial statements to the extent that
those standards do not conflict with or contradict the guidance of GASB. Governments also have
the option of following subsequent private-sector guidance for their business-type activities and
proprietary funds, subject to this same limitation. The District has elected not to follow subsequent
private-sector guidance.
Fiduciary Funds
Fiduciary funds account for the assets held by the District as a trustee or agent for individuals,
private organizations and/or governmental units and are, therefore, not available to support the
District's own programs. The District accounts for these assets in a private-purpose trust and
agency fund. The private-purpose trust fund accounts for activities in various scholarship
accounts, whose sole purpose is to provide annual scholarships to particular students as
described by donor stipulations. The agency fund accounts for funds held on behalf of students
of the District. It is custodial in nature (assets equal liabilities) and does not involve measurement
of results of operations.
The District's cash and cash equivalents are considered to be cash on hand, demand deposits
and short-term investments with original maturities of three months or less from the date of
acquisition.
The District does not record an allowance for uncollectible taxes because it is considered to be
immaterial.
Propertv Taxes
Taxes are levied on July 1 and are payable in the following periods:
An installment payment plan is available to residential property owners who have been approved
as homestead owners by the Delaware County Board of Assessments, with three equal
installments due as follows:
- 26 -
RADNOR TOWNSHIP SCHOOL DISTRICT
In order to participate in the installment payment plan, homestead owners must forego the
opportunity to make payment at the two percent of gross levy discount rate.
The District's taxes are billed and collected by the District. The tax on real estate for public school
purposes for fiscal 2009-2010 was 20.27 mills ($20.2? for $1,000 of assessed valuation) for the
entire District.
Inventories
All inventories are valued at the lower of cost (first-in, first-out method) or market.
Capital Assets
Capital assets, which include property, plant and equipment, are reported in the applicable
governmental or business-type activities columns in the entity-wide and proprietary fund financial
statements. Capital assets are defined by the District as assets with an initial, individual cost of
more than $2,000, composite assets of more than $10,000 and critical control assets as defined
by District policy. Such assets are recorded at historical cost if purchased or constructed.
Donated capital assets are recorded at estimated fair value at the date of donation.
The costs of normal maintenance and repairs that do not add to the value of the asset or
materially extend assets' lives are not capitalized.
Major outlays for capital assets and improvements are capitalized as projects are constructed,
inclusive of ancillary costs.
Property, plant and equipment of the District are depreciated using the straight-line method over
the following estimated useful lives:
Compensated Absences
District policies permit employees to accumulate earned but unused vacation as stipulated in
each bargaining unit's contract. The liability for these compensated absences is recorded as
long-term debt in the entity-wide financial statements. The current portion of this debt is
estimated based on historical trends. In the fund financial statements, governmental funds report
the compensated absence liability payable from expendable available financial resources.
The long-term portion of compensated absences has been designated in the general fund fund
balance.
- 27 -
RADNOR TOWNSHIP SCHOOL DISTRICT
long-term Obligations
In the entity-wide financial statements and proprietary fund financial statements, long-term debt
and other long-term obligations are reported as liabilities. Bond premiums and discounts are
deferred and amortized over the life of the bonds. Bond issuance costs are reported as deferred
charges and amortized over the term of the related debt. Deferred amounts on refunding are
recorded as a decrease to debt payable and amortized over the life of the old debt or the life of
the new debt, whichever is shorter. All amounts are amortized using the straight-line method.
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 debt
issued is reported as other financing sources. Premiums received and discounts paid on debt
issuances are reported as other financing sources and uses. Issuance costs, whether or not
withheld from the actual debt proceeds received, are reported as debt service expenditures,
except for refundings paid from proceeds which are reported as other financing uses.
Fund Equity
In the fund financial statements, governmental funds report reservations of fund balance for
amounts that are not available for appropriation or are legally restricted by outside parties for use
for a specific purpose. When both restricted and unrestricted resources are available for use, it is
the District's policy to use restricted resources first and then unrestricted resources as they are
needed.
Comparative Data
Comparative totals for the prior year have been presented in the accompanying financial
statements in order to provide an understanding of changes in the District's financial position and
operations. Certain amounts presented in the prior year have been reclassified in order to be
consistent with the current year's presentation. However, presentation of prior year totals by fund
and activity type has not been presented in each of the statements since its inclusion would
make the statements unduly complex and difficult to read. Summarized comparative information
should be read in conjunction with the District's financial statements for the year ended June 30,
2009, from which the summarized information was derived.

RADNOR TOWNSHIP SCHOOL DISTRICT
BUdgetary Information
An annual bUdget is adopted prior to the beginning of each year for the general fund on the
modified accrual basis of accounting. The general fund is the only fund for which a bUdget is
legally required, although project-length financial plans are adopted for all capital projects
funds.
The District bUdgets and expends funds according to procedures mandated by the Pennsylvania
Department of Education. An annual operating bUdget is prepared by school district officials on
a uniform form furnished by such Department and submitted to the board of school directors for
approval prior to the beginning of the fiscal year on Julyl.
Under the Taxpayer Relief Act, the school district must adopt a preliminary bUdget proposal
(which must include estimated revenues and expenditures and proposed tax rates) no later than
90 days prior to the date of the election immediately preceding the fiscal year. The preliminary
bUdget proposal must be printed and made available for public inspection at least 20 days prior
to its adoption; the board of school directors may hold a public hearing on the budget; and the
board must give at least 10 days' public notice of its intent to adopt such bUdget.
If the adopted preliminary bUdget includes an increase in the rate of any tax levy, the preliminary
bUdget must be submitted to the Pennsylvania Department of Education f'PDE") no later than 85
days prior to the date of the election immediately preceding the fiscal year. PDE is to compare
the proposed percentage increase in the rate of any tax with the school district's Index and within
10 days, but no later than 75 days, prior to the upcoming election, inform the school district
whether the proposed percentage increase is less than or equal to the Index. If PDE determines
that a proposed tax increase will exceed the Index, the school district must reduce the proposed
tax increase, seek voter approval for the tax increase at the upcoming election or seek approval
to utilize one or more of the referendum exceptions authorized by the Taxpayer Relief Act.
With respect to the utilization of any of the Taxpayer Relief Act referendum exceptions for which
PDE approval is required, the school district must publish notice of its intent to seek PDE approval
not less than one week before SUbmitting its request for approval to PDE and, if PDE determines to
schedule a public hearing on the request, a notice of the date, time and place of such hearing.
PDE is required by the Taxpayer Relief Act to rule on the school district's request and inform the
school district of its decision no later than 55 days prior to the upcoming election so that, if PDE
denies the school district's request, the school district may submit a referendum question to the
local election officials at least 50 days before the upcoming election, if it so chooses.
To use any of the referendum exceptions for which court approval is required under the Taxpayer
Relief Act, the school district must petition the court of common pleas no later than 75 days prior
to the upcoming election, after giVing one week's public notice of the intent to file such petition.
The court may schedule a hearing on the petition, and the school district must prove by clear
and convincing evidence that it qualifies for the exception sought. The Taxpayer Relief Act
requires that the court rule on the petition and inform the school district of its decision no later
- 29 -
RADNOR TOWNSHIP SCHOOL DISTRICT
than 55 days prior to the upcoming election. Such Act provides that the court, in approving the
petition, shall determine the dollar amount for which the exception is granted, the tax rate
increase required to fund the exception and the appropriate duration of the tax increase. If the
court denies the school district's petition, such Act permits the school district to submit a
referendum question to the local election officials at least 50 days before the upcoming election,
if it so chooses.
If the school district seeks voter approval to increase taxes at a rate higher than the applicable
Index, whether or not it first seeks approval to utilize one or more of the referendum exceptions
available under the Taxpayer Relief Act, and the referendum question is not approved by a
majority of the voters voting on the question, the board of school directors may not approve an
increase in the tax rate greater than the applicable Index.
The above bUdgetary procedures will not apply if the school district adopts a resolution no later
than 110 days prior to the election immediately preceding the upcoming fiscal year declaring
that it will not increase any tax rate that exceeds the Index and that a tax increase at or below
the rate of the Index will be sufficient to balance its bUdget. In that case, the Taxpayer Relief Act
requires only that the proposed annual bUdget be prepared at least 30 days, and made
available for public inspection at least 20 days, prior to its adoption, and that at least 10 days'
public notice be given of the board's intent to adopt the annual bUdget. No referendum
exceptions are available to a school district adopting such a resolution.
legal bUdgetary control is maintained at the sub-function/major object level. The Board 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.
Deposits
Custodial credit risk is the risk that in the event of a bank failure, the government's deposits may
not be returned. The District does not have a policy for custodial credit risk. At June 30, 2010, the
carrying amount of the District's deposits was $20,924,678 and the bank balance was
$21,701,934. Of the bank balance, $159,772 was covered by federal depository insurance, and
the District's remaining cash deposits totaling $21,542,162 are in the Pennsylvania School District
liquid Asset Fund (UPSDLAf'l). Although not registered with the Securities and Exchange
Commission and not subject to regulatory oversight, PSDLAf acts like money market mutual funds
in that its objective is to maintain a stable net asset value of $1 per share, it is rated by a
nationally recognized statistical rating organization and it is subject to an independent annual
audit.
- 30 -
RADNOR TOWNSHIP SCHOOL DISTRICT
Investments
Statutes authorize the District to invest in U.S. Treasury bills, time or share accounts of institutions
insured by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation in certificates of deposit when they are
secured by proper bond or collateral, repurchase agreements, State Treasurer's investment pools
or mutual funds.
All of the District's investments are in the Pennsylvania School District liquid Asset Fund (UPSDLAF").
Although not registered with the Securities and Exchange Commission and not subject to
regulatory oversight, the PSDLAF acts like money market mutual funds in that its objective is to
maintain a stable net asset value of $1 per share, it is rated by a nationally recognized statistical
rating organization and it is subject to an independent annual audit. The carrying value of the
District's investments at June 30, 2010 was $4,264,182.
The District has an investment policy that limits its investment choices in local government
investment pools only to the extent it is rated in the highest rating category by a nationally
recognized rating agency. As of June 30, 2010, the PSDLAF was rated as AAA by a nationally
recognized statistical rating organization.
Governmental funds report deferred revenue in connection with receivables for revenues that are
not considered to be available to liquidate liabilities of the current period. Governmental funds
also defer revenue recognition with resources that have been received, but for which all eligibility
requirements have not been satisfied. At the end of the current fiscal year, deferred revenue
reported in the governmental funds resulted from delinquent property taxes receivable and
federal and private grants received for which eligibility requirements have not been satisfied.
Deferred revenue in the entity-Wide financial statements represents resources that have been
received but not yet earned.

Plan Description
The District contributes to the Public School Employees' Retirement System C'PSERS II ), a
governmental cost-sharing multiple-employer defined benefit pension plan administered by the
Commonwealth of Pennsylvania Public School Employees' Retirement System. The PSERS provides
retirement and disability, legislatively mandated ad hoc cost-of-living adjustments and certain
health care insurance premium assistance to plan members and beneficiaries. The Public School
Employees' Retirement Code (Act No. 96, of October 2, 1975, as amended) provides the authority
to establish and amend benefit provisions. The PSERS 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 Public School Employees' Retirement System, P.
O. Box 125, Harrisburg, PA 17108-0125.
- 34 -
RADNOR TOWNSHIP SCHOOL DISTRICT
Funding Policy
The contribution policy is established in the Public School Employees' Retirement Code and
requires contributions by active members, employers and the Commonwealth. Individual
employees contribute between 5.25 and 7.5 percent of salary depending on their membership
status. Contributions required of employers are based upon an actuarial valuation. For fiscal
year ended June 30, 2010, the rate of employer contribution was 4.78 percent of covered
payroll. The District's contributions to PSERS for the years ended June 30,2010,2009 and 2008
were $ 1,800,291, $ 1,983,598 and $2,413,486, respectively. The Commonwealth contributes to
PSERS by reimbursing the District 50 percent of its contribution each year.
The District currently is obligated under operating lease agreements for office equipment and
modular classrooms. These leases are considered as operating leases for accounting purposes.
The following is a summary of the minimum rental costs for the remaining terms at June 30, 2010:
2011 $ 214,604
2012 214,604

Rental expense for the year ended June 30, 2010 was $214,702.
The District participates in a joint venture with the other school districts of Delaware County,
Pennsylvania in the operation of a Vocational-Technical School Authority ("DCVTSA"). The DCVTSA
is governed by seven members. Each member must be a citizen of a school district where the
DCVTSA leases a project. The DCVTSA oversees acquiring, holding, constructing, improving and
maintaining the public area vocational-technical school bUildings. The financial statements of
the Vocational-Technical School Authority are available from the DCVTSA located at 200 Yale
Avenue, Morton, Pennsylvania 19070.
The District also participates in a joint venture with other school districts of Delaware County,
Pennsylvania to support the Delaware County Community College. The financial statements of
the Delaware County Community College Authority ("DCCCA") are available from the DCCCA
located at 901 South Media line Road, Media, Pennsylvania 19063.
- 35 -
RADNOR TOWNSHIP SCHOOL DISTRICT
The District has entered into lease agreements with the DCCCA and the DCVTSA to provide rental
payments to retire the Authority's outstanding debt obligations. The lease agreements generally
provide that in the event the individual Authorities either retire all of their outstanding obligations
which were issued to finance school facilities' construction or acquisition, or accumulate sufficient
reserves to cover such obligations prior to the expiration of the applicable schedules, there will be
no subsequently scheduled rental payments made. Inasmuch as the annual rentals include
reserve funds which either are invested by Authorities or used for advance retirement of
obligations, it is anticipated that less than scheduled rentals will eventually be paid.
Plan Description
Effective for the 2008-2009 fiscal year, the District implemented Governmental Accounting
Standards Board Statement No. 45, "Accounting and Financial Reporting by Employers for Post-
employment Benefits Other Than Pensions," for certain post-employment healthcare benefits and
life insurance benefits provided by the District. This Statement generally provides for prospective
implementation - I.e., that employers set the beginning net OPEB obligation at zero as of the
beginning of the initial year. Accordingly, for financial reporting purposes, no liability is reported
for the post-employment benefits liability at the date of transition.
- 36 -
RADNOR TOWNSHIP SCHOOL DISTRICT
Funding Policy
The contribution requirements of plan members are established and may be amended by the
Board of School Directors. The required contribution is based on projected pay-as-you-go
financing requirements, with any additional amount to prefund as determined annually by the
Board of School Directors. For fiscal year 2010, the District contributed $469,709 to the plan for
current premiums, or approximately 84 percent of total premiums. Plan members receiving
benefits contributed $88,694, or approximately 16 percent of total premiums, through their
required monthly contributions.
The District's annual other post-employment benefit cost (expense) is calculated based on the
annual required contribution of the employer C'ARCII), an amount actuarially determined in
accordance with the parameters of GASB Statement No. 45. The ARC represents a level of
funding that, if paid on an ongoing basis, is projected to cover normal costs each year and
amortize any unfunded actuarial liabilities (or funding excess) over a period not to exceed 14
years. The following table shows the components of the District's OPEB cost for the year, the
amount actually contributed to the plan and changes in the District's net OPEB obligation to the
plan.
As of July 1,2008, the most recent actuarial valuation date, the plan was 0.00 percent funded.
The actuarial accrued liability for benefits was $4,606,259, and the actuarial value of assets was
$0, resulting in an unfunded actuarial accrued liability (IIUAALII) of $4,606,259. The covered
payroll (annual payroll of active employees covered by the plan) was $34,029,506, and the ratio
of the UAAL to the covered payroll was 13.54 percent.
Actuarial valuations of an ongoing plan involve estimates of the value of reported amounts and
assumptions about the probability of occurrence of events far into the future. Examples include
assumptions about future employment, mortality and healthcare cost trends. Amounts
determined regarding the funded status of the plan and the annual required contributions of the
employer are subject to continual revision as actual results are compared with past expectations
and new estimates are made about the future.

Projections of benefits for financial reporting purposes are based on the substantive plan (the
plan as understood by the employer and the plan members) and include the types of benefits
provided at the time of each valuation and the historical pattern of sharing of benefit costs
between the employer and plan members to that point. The actuarial methods and assumptions
used include techniques that are designed to reduce the effects of short-term volatility in
actuarial liabilities and the actuarial value of assets, consistent with the long-term perspective of
the calculations.
In the July 1, 2008 actuarial valuation, the entry age normal, actuarial cost method was used.
The actuarial assumptions included a 4.50 percent investment rate of return and an annual
healthcare cost trend rate of 8.50 percent in 2008, reduced by decrements to an ultimate rate of
five percent in 2015 or later. The UAAl is being amortized based on the level dollar, 14-year open
period. The remaining amortization period at June 30, 2010 was 12 years.
During the 1998-1999, 2003-2004 and 2004-2005 fiscal years, the District offered an Early
Retirement Incentive Plan ("ERlpl ) to qualified professional employees. The District ERIPs provide
for post-retirement health care benefits to employees who retire into PSERS after 25 years of
service credit with PSERS and at least 10 years of professional service with the District. The ERIP
plans provide for continuing payment for medical and prescription insurance for the employee
and his/her eligible dependents up to the same dollar amount and on the same basis as the
school district provides those benefits to active employees under its contract with existing
bargaining units. With respect to future increase in premium costs, the school district will pay the
lesser of 1) the amount required under the contract with the bargaining unit, or 2) a maximum·
amount of 7.5 percent increase each year over the district's premium cost for previous year.
Benefits cease upon the employee's death or age 65.
Future ERIP payments have been reflected as a liability in the entity-Wide financial statements and
are summarized as follows:
2011 $ 469,709
2012 434,462
2013 363,149
2014 262,996
2015 82,640
Thereafter 81,904
Total 1,694,860
less current portion 469,709
$ 1,225,151
During the year ended June 30,2010, the cost of these benefits was $520,269.

subject to program compliance audits by the grantors or their representatives. The District is
potentially liable for any expenditures which may be disallowed pursuant to the terms of these
grant programs. Management is not aware of any material items of noncompliance which would
result in the disallowance of program expenditures.

ON AN AUDIT OF FINANCIAL STATEMENTS www.btcpa.com
PERFORMED IN ACCORDANCE WITH
GOVERNMENT AUDITING STANDARDS
We have audited the financial statements of the governmental activities, the business-type activities, each
major fund and the aggregate remaining fund information of Radnor Township School District, Wayne,
Pennsylvania as of and for the year ended June 30,2010, which collectively comprise Radnor Township
School District's basic financial statements, and have issued our report thereon dated February 22, 2011 .
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.
In planning and performing our audit, we considered Radnor Township 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 Radnor Township School 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.
Our consideration of internal control over financial reporting was for the limited purpose described in the
first paragraph of this section and was not designed to identify all deficiencies in internal control over
financial reporting that might be significant deficiencies or material weaknesses and, therefore, there can
be no assurance that all deficiencies, significant deficiencies or material weaknesses have been
identified. However, as discussed below, we identified certain deficiencies in internal control over
financial reporting that we consider to be material weaknesses and other deficiencies that we consider to
be significant deficiencies.
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. We consider the deficiencies described in the accompanying schedule of findings and
recommendations as #08-1, #08-4 and #08-5 to be material weaknesses.

As part of obtaining reasonable assurance about whether Radnor Township 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.
We noted certain matters that we reported to management of Radnor Township School District in a
separate letter dated February 22,2011.
Radnor Township School District1s response to the findings identified by our audit is described in the
accompanying schedule of findings and recommendations. We did not audit Radnor Township School
District1s response and, accordingly, we express no opinion on it.

REPORT ON COMPLIANCE 3411 Silverside Road
WITH REQUIREMENTS APPLICABLE TO EACH Wilmington, Delaware 19810
Compliance
We have audited the compliance of Radnor Township School District, Wayne, Pennsylvania, 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 its major federal program for the year ended June 30,
2010. Radnor Township School District's major federal program is identified in the summary of auditors'
results section of the accompanying schedule of findings and recommendations. Compliance with the
requirements of laws, regulations, contracts and grants applicable to its major federal program is the
responsibility of Radnor Township School District's management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion
on Radnor Township School 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, '~udits of
States, local Governments and Nonprofit 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 Radnor
Township School District's compliance with those requirements and performing such other procedures as
we considered necessary in the circumstances. We believe that our audit provides a reasonable basis for
our opinion. Our audit does not provide a legal determination on Radnor Township School District's
compliance with those requirements.
In our opinion, Radnor Township School District complied, in all material respects, with the requirements
referred to above that are applicable to its major federal program for the year ended June 30, 2010.
The management of Radnor Township School District, Wayne, Pennsylvania, 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 Radnor Township School 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 and to test and report on internal
control over compliance in accordance with OMB Circular A-133, 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 Radnor Township School District·s internal control over compliance.
A deficiency in internal control over compliance exists when the design or operation of a control over
compliance does not allow management or employees, in the normal course of performing their assigned
functions, to prevent, or detect and correct, noncompliance with a type of compliance requirement of a
federal program on 'a timely basis. A material weakness is a deficiency, or combination of deficiencies, in
internal control such that there is a reasonable possibility that material noncompliance with a type of
compliance requirement of a federal program will not be prevented, or detected and corrected, on a
timely basis.
Our consideration of internal control over compliance was for the limited purpose described in the first
paragraph of this section and was not designed to identify all deficiencies in internal control over
compliance that might be deficiencies, 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.

JOURNAL ENTRIES
08-1 Finding
According to the SAS No. 112 requirement, IICommunicating Internal Control-Related Matters Identified in
an AUdit," a control deficiency exists when the auditor identifies a material misstatement in the financial
statements that was not initially identified by the Organization's internal control. During our prior year audit,
we noted that the journal entries that we proposed and management posted are material in the
aggregate and represent a material misstatement in the financial statements for the period under audit
that were not identified by the entity's internal control. This condition was the result of the absence of
written procedures from prior years combined with turnover in key management positions.
Recommendation
We recommended that the District properly record all of its transactions during the fiscal year in
accordance with generally accepted accounting principles.
During our current year audit, although we noted significant improvement in recording entries'in the
General Fund, several material entries were necessary in the Food Service Fund. This finding is still
applicable for the current year as it relates to the Food Service Fund.
Management's Response
Management concurs with the finding as presented and continues to provide the training and experience
necessary for staff to be able to complete all necessary adjustments for year-end financial reporting.
08-2 Finding
Throughout the year, adjusting journal entries are necessary to record activity of both a recurring and
nonrecurring nature. We noted, in our review of the journal entries prepared and posted, that there are no
written procedures documenting when journal entries are to be completed, the process for supporting
documentation and the approval prior to entry into the system. lack of sufficient controls surrounding the
journal entry process provide an opportunity for errors to occur and not be detected in a timely manner,
resulting in financial information that is inaccurate. This is a result of management oversight.
- 45 -
RADNOR TOWNSHIP SCHOOL DISTRICT
Recommendation
We recommended that procedures be developed which identify when adjusting journal entries are to be
prepared, the person or persons responsible, the backUp documentation required, the filing system to be
utilized and the approval process. This will enhance the reliability of financial information as well as the
overall effectiveness of the financial statements.
During our current year aUdit, we noted that a formal process of review and approval of journal entries has
been established. This finding is no longer applicable.
08-4 finding
The District does not maintain an adequate system of tracking capital assets. The following were noted
during our aUditing procedures during the prior year audit:
• The District does not maintain a detailed listing of capital assets. As a result, we were unable to
determine that assets are recorded at the correct amounts.
• There are no policies and procedures in place to ensure that acquisition and disposition of capital
assets are tracked and recorded.
• The District utilizes an Excel spreadsheet to track major capital projects. The project costs are not
reconciled to the general ledger in a timely manner and are not being placed in service in a
consistent manner.
Correction of the deficiencies noted above is important to assure that capital assets are accurately
reported in the District's financial statements and to help mitigate the risk of misappropriation. This
condition was the result of the absence of written procedures from prior years which made understanding
the District more cumbersome.
Recommendation
We recommended that the District evaluate each of the above-noted deficiencies in regard to capital
assets and determine what action can be taken to strengthen its reporting in the future. We further
recommended that the District provide training to the individual(s) responsible for the capital asset record-
keeping.
- 46 -
RADNOR TOWNSHIP SCHOOL DISTRICT
During our current year audit, we noted that the District is still in the process of implementing the capital
asset tracking module. This finding is still applicable for the current year.
Management's Response
The implementation of the capital asset automated system was a two-year process that was completed in
April 2010. Once in place, management worked with an appraisal company to ensure that a complete
and accurate accounting of capital assets was in the system. The District is currently working on getting
prior assets correctly into the system and verifying that the depreciation is being calculated correctly. The
plan is to have the capital asset automated system fUlly functional by June 30,2011.
SCHOLARSHIP ACCOUNTS
08-5 Finding
During our procedures designed to determine that all cash and investments of the District are properly
recorded, we determined that the District was apparently the recipient in years past of funds to be held for
the benefit of future scholarship opportunities for students. Two investment accounts were confirmed as
being in the name of the District, for which approximately six percent of the total value has been placed
on the books. The remaining investment balances are not being reported by the District, and it is unclear
whether they should be reported and in what manner. Because there is a lack of readily available
documentation, current management was unaware of the accounts, and the nature of them.
Recommendation
We recommended that the District investigate the origin of the funds, determine their level of responsibility,
the legality of the investments, and the proper accounting and financial statement presentation. We
further recommended that clear written procedures be in place to ensure the continued proper
accounting of the balances.
During our current year aUdit, we noted that the District has not yet established clearly written procedures
to ensure the proper accounting of scholarship account balances. This finding is still applicable for the
current year.
Management's Response
The District is working with the financial institution and the District's attorney to determine the proper
disposition and accounting for these funds.
- 47 -
RADNOR TOWNSHIP SCHOOL DISTRICT
10-1 Finding
During our current year aUdit, we noted that the food service does not reconcile the cash being entered
into the system as received in the individual drawers to the daily bank deposit. We further noted that the
bank reconciliation was not being completed in a timely manner, which made it difficult to resolve
discrepancies between the cash drawers with the bank deposit slip.
Recommendation
We recommend that the District create a process that requires the cashiers to verify that their bank deposit
agrees with the amount being entered into the system before it is released on a daily basis as well as
preparing the bank reconciliation on a timely basis.
Management's Response
The District concurs with the recommendation and is taking the necessary steps to enhance the controls
surrounding the food service bank reconciliation procedures.
None.
