HUDSON CITY SCHOOL DISTRICT
SUMMIT COUNTY, OHIO

MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS
FOR THE FISCAL YEAR ENDED JUNE 30, 2018

(UNAUDITED)

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 an
accounting method called modified accrual accounting, which measures cash and all other financial assets that can
readily be converted to cash. The governmental fund statements provide a detailed short-term view of the District’s
general government operations and the basic services it provides. Governmental fund information helps you determine
whether there are more or fewer financial resources that can be spent in the near future to finance educational programs.
The relationship (or differences) between governmental activities (reported in the statement of net position and the
statement of activities) and governmental funds is reconciled in the financial statements. The basic governmental fund
financial statements can be found on pages F 24 - F 28 of this report.

Proprietary Funds

Proprietary funds use the same basis of accounting as business-type activities; therefore, these statements will essentially
match information provided in the statements for the District as a whole. The basic proprietary fund financial statements
can be found on pages F 29 - F 31 of this report.

Fiduciary Funds

The District is the trustee, or fiduciary, for its scholarship programs. This activity is presented as a private-purpose trust
fund. The District also acts in a trustee capacity as an agent for individuals, private organizations, other governmental
units and/or other funds. These activities are reported in two agency funds. The District’s fiduciary activities are
reported in separate statements of fiduciary net position and changes in fiduciary net position on pages F 32 - F 33.
These activities are excluded from the District’s other financial statements because the assets cannot be utilized by the
District to finance its operations.

Notes to the Basic Financial Statements

The notes provide additional information that is essential to a full understanding of the data provided in the government-
wide and fund financial statements. These notes to the basic financial statements can be found on pages F 35 - F 82 of
this report.

Required Supplementary Information

In addition to the basic financial statements and accompanying notes, this report also presents certain required
supplementary information concerning the District’s net pension liability and net OPEB liability. The required
supplementary information can be found on pages F 84 - F 97 of this report.

summary of the District’s net position for fiscal years 2018 and 2017. Net position at June 30, 2017 has been restated as
