In accordance with Government Auditing Standards, we have also issued a report dated February
7,2012 on our consideration of the LaSalle County Regional Office of Education No. 35's internal
control over financial reporting and on our tests of its compliance with certain provisions of
laws, regulations, contracts, and grant agreements and other matters. The purpose of that report
is to describe the scope of our testing of internal control over financial reporting and compliance
and the results of that testing, and not to provide an opinion on the internal control over financial
reporting or on compliance. That report is an integral part of an audit performed in accordance
with Government Auditing Standards and should be considered in assessing the results of our
audit.
The Management's Discussion and Analysis, the Illinois Municipal Retirement Fund Schedule of
Funding Progress and the Other Postemployment Benefits Schedule of Funding Progress on
pages 11 through 16 and 51 are not a required part of the basic financial statements but are
supplementary information required by accounting principles generally accepted in the United
States of America. We have applied certain limited procedures, which consisted principally of
inquiries of management regarding the methods of measurement and presentation of the required
supplementary information. However, we did not audit the information and express no opinion
on it.
Our audit was conducted for the purpose of forming opinions on the financial statements that
collectively comprise the LaSalle County Regional Office of Education No. 35's basic financial
statements. The combining and individual nonmajor fund financial statements, budgetary
comparison schedules, and Schedule of Disbursements to School District Treasurers and Others
are presented for purposes of additional analysis and are not a required part of the basic financial
statements. The combining and individual nonmajor fund financial statements, budgetary
comparison schedules, and the Schedule of Disbursements to School District Treasurers and
Others have been subjected to the auditing procedures applied in the audit of the basic financial
statements and, in our opinion, are fairly stated in all material respects in relation to the basic
financial statements taken as a whole.

INDEPENDENT AUDITORS' 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
Honorable William G. Holland
Auditor General
State of Illinois
As Special Assistant Auditors for the Auditor General, we have audited the financial statements
of the governmental activities, the business-type activities, each major fund, and the aggregate
remaining fund information of the LaSalle County Regional Office of Education No. 35, as of
and for the year ended June 30, 2011, which collectively comprise the LaSalle County Regional
Office of Education No. 35's basic financial statements and have issued our report thereon dated
February 7, 2012. 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.
Internal Control Over Financial Reporting
Management of the LaSalle County Regional Office of Education No. 35 is responsible for
establishing and maintaining effective internal control over financial reporting. In planning and
performing our audit, we considered the LaSalle County Regional Office of Education No. 35's
internal control over financial reporting as a basis for designing our aUditing procedures for the
purpose of expressing our opinions on the financial statements and not for the purpose of
expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the LaSalle County Regional Office of Education
No. 35's internal control over financial reporting. Accordingly, we do not express an opinion on
the effectiveness of the LaSalle County Regional Office of Education No. 35's internal control
over financial reporting.
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.
7
A material weakness is a deficiency, or 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.
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 deficiencies, significant deficiencies or material
weaknesses. We did not identify any deficiencies in internal control over financial reporting that we
consider to be material weaknesses, as defined above.
Compliance and Other Matters
As part of obtaining reasonable assurance about whether the LaSalle County Regional Office of
Education No. 35'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 have noted a certain matter that we have reported to management of the LaSalle County
Regional Office of Education No. 35 in a separate letter dated February 7,2012.
This report is intended solely for the information and use of the Auditor General, the General
Assembly, the Legislative Audit Commission, the Governor, agency management, others within
the organization, and the Illinois State Board of Education and is not intended to be and should
not be used by anyone other than these specified parties.

MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS
JUNE 30, 2011
11
The LaSalle County Regional Office of Education No. 35 (ROE) provides this Management’s
Discussion and Analysis of its financial statements. This narrative overview and analysis of the
financial activities is for the year ended June 30, 2011 with comparative information for the year
ended June 30, 2010. In order to provide a comparative analysis, the ROE restated its 2010
governmental funds statements for the implementation of Governmental Accounting Standards
Board Statement No. 54. Governmental Funds analysis are based on that restatement. Readers
are encouraged to consider the information in conjunction with the Regional Office’s financial
statements that follow.
2011 Financial Highlights
Within the Governmental Funds, the General Fund revenues increased by $32,750 (10%)
from $331,082 in FY 2010 to $363,832 in FY 2011. The General Fund’s expenditures
decreased by $9,468 (3%) from $362,792 in FY 2010 to $353,324 in FY 2011.
Within the Governmental Funds, the Special Revenue Funds’ revenues increased by
$256,605 (20%) from $1,315,205 in FY 2010 to $1,571,810 in FY 2011. The Special
Revenue Funds’ expenditures increased by $36,316 (2%) from $1,478,678 in FY 2010 to
$1,514,994 in FY 2011.
The Enterprise Funds’ revenues increased by $21,603 (13%) from $170,430 in FY 2010 to
$192,033 in FY 2011. The Enterprise Funds’ expenditures increased by $29,596 (19%) from
$159,142 in FY 2010 to $188,738 in FY 2011.
Using This Report
This report consists of a series of financial statements and other information, as follows:
Management’s Discussion and Analysis introduces financial statements and provides an
analytical overview of the ROE’s financial activities.
The Government-wide financial statements consist of a Statement of Net Assets and a
Statement of Activities. These provide information about the activities of the ROE as a
whole and present an overall view of the ROE’s finances.
Fund financial statements report the ROE’s operations in more detail than the government-wide
statements by providing information about the most significant funds.
Notes to the financial statements provide additional information that is needed for a full
understanding of the data provided in the basic financial statements.
Required supplementary information and supplementary information further explains and
supports the financial statements and supplementary information provides detailed
information about the non-major funds.
Reporting the ROE as a Whole
It is important to note, that many grants are a cooperative effort of the ROE and the
Marshall/Putnam/Woodford Counties Regional Office of Education No. 43. Therefore, these
LASALLE COUNTY REGIONAL OFFICE OF EDUCATION NO. 35
MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS
JUNE 30, 2011

figures may reflect grants that are intended to serve LaSalle County only, as well as grants that
serve LaSalle, Marshall, Putnam and Woodford Counties.
The Statement of Net Assets and the Statement of Activities
Government-wide Financial Statements
The Government-wide financial statements report information about the ROE as a whole. The
Statement of Net Assets includes all of the assets and liabilities, with the difference reported as
net assets. All of the current year revenues and expenses are accounted for in the Statement of
Activities regardless of when cash is received or paid using Generally Accepted Accounting
Principles.
The Government-wide financial statements report the ROE’s net assets and how they have
changed. Net assets - the difference between assets and liabilities - are one way to measure the
ROE’s financial condition.
Over time, increases or decreases in the net assets can be an indicator of whether financial
position is improving or deteriorating, respectively.
To assess the ROE’s overall financial condition, additional non-financial factors, such as new
laws, rules, regulations, and actions by officials at the State level need to be considered.
Fund Financial Statements
The fund financial statements provide detailed information about the ROE’s funds. Funds are
accounting devices that allow the tracking of specific sources of funding and spending on
particular programs. Some funds are required by State law. The ROE established other funds to
control and manage money for particular purposes.
The ROE has three kinds of funds:
(1) Governmental funds account for those funds through which most governmental functions of
the ROE are financed. These focus on how cash and other financial assets that can be
readily converted to cash flow in and out and the balances left at the year-end that are
available for spending. Consequently, the governmental fund statements provide a detailed
short-term view that helps determine whether there are more or fewer resources that can be
spent in the near future to finance the ROE’s programs. The ROE’s Governmental Funds
include: the General Fund and the Special Revenue Funds. The governmental funds
required financial statements include a Balance Sheet and a Statement of Revenues,
Expenditures and Changes in Fund Balances.
(2) Proprietary funds account for resources from fees charged directly to those entities or
individuals that use its services. Proprietary fund statements provide both long-term and
short-term financial information consistent with the focus provided by government-wide
LASALLE COUNTY REGIONAL OFFICE OF EDUCATION NO. 35
MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS
JUNE 30, 2011
13
financial statements but with more detail for major and non-major enterprise funds. The
proprietary funds required financial statements include a Statement of Net Assets, Statement
of Revenues, Expenses and Changes in Fund Net Assets and a Statement of Cash Flows.
(3) Fiduciary funds are used to account for assets held by the ROE in a trust capacity or as an
agent for individuals and private or governmental organizations. These funds are custodial in
nature (assets equal liabilities) and do not involve measurement of results of operations. The
fiduciary funds required financial statements include a Statement of Fiduciary Net Assets.
Government-Wide Financial Analysis
As noted earlier, net assets, when examined over time, may serve as an indicator of the financial
health of the ROE. The net assets at the end of FY 2011 and 2010 totaled $1,129,271 and
$1,129,166, respectively. The analysis that follows provides a summary of the ROE’s net assets
as of June 30.

occurred in the Governmental Activities and a $30,155 (9%) decrease occurred in the Business-
Type Activities as a result of a transfer of Workshop funds to the ROE/ISC Operations Fund to
offset the overspending due to the State’s budget cuts.

grants decreased in FY 2011. New programs totaling $171,433 were funded in FY 2011. These
new programs include ARRA Title 1 School Improvement, WIA – Youth Activities and AARA
Education Jobs Funds. Expenses were proportionally increased or decreased to meet the funding
level.
LASALLE COUNTY REGIONAL OFFICE OF EDUCATION NO. 35
MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS
JUNE 30, 2011
15
Business-Type Activities
Revenues for business-type activities were $192,821 and expenditures were $188,738. The
increase in revenue is attributed to more revenue in most of the non-major propriety funds. The
expense increases are attributed to the increased supplies and materials in the Workshop fund,
increased purchased services in the Discovery United Streaming Coop, and the salaries and
benefits and miscellaneous increases in the non-major propriety funds in FY 2011.
Financial Analysis of the ROE Funds
As previously noted, the ROE uses fund accounting to ensure and demonstrate compliance with
finance-related legal requirements. The ROE’s Governmental Funds reported combined fund
balances of $704,730.
Governmental Fund Highlights
The School Services grant (ROE/ISC Operations) budget was slashed $11,017 (9%)
compared to FY 2010. This funding provided by the State did not pay for all school service
activities, etc. Workshop funds were transferred to help offset the deficit.
The dollar return on investments (certificate of deposit, short-term investments and interest
earned on a float), were reduced because of the low interest rates. In order to provide
services budgeted for the Direct Service Budget, certain investments again had to be used
which also reduced the amount of interest revenue received.
County support for the Regional Office of Education No. 35 remained at level funding.
The State Aid foundation level was the same as FY 2010 at $6,119.
Proprietary Fund Highlights
Total proprietary fund net assets decreased by $30,155 (9%). The net decrease in the proprietary
funds is attributed to the transfer of Proprietary Funds to School Services in order to complete all
State required mandates.
Fiduciary Fund Highlights
There was a decrease of $51,766,363 (75%) in total fiduciary funds additions for FY 2011.
This decrease is attributed to management’s decision to have the Distributive Fund transferred
directly to the schools instead of through the ROE in order to increase fiscal efficiency and
reduce ROE costs. Transactions during FY 2011 represent mainly transfers in and out of funds
for the Distributive Fund.

Budgetary Highlights
The ROE annually prepares budgets for several funds which serve as a guideline for activities
and expenditures. The Regional Superintendent annually prepares an Office Operations Budget
and submits it to the County Board for their approval. The Office Operations Budget covers a
fiscal year which runs from December 1 to November 30. All grant budgets are prepared by the
ROE and submitted to the granting agency for approval. Amendments must be submitted under
guidelines established by the granting agency. Additionally, all ROE funds are reported to the
Advisory Board.
Capital Assets
The ROE’s capital assets include office equipment, computers, audio-visual equipment, and
office furniture. The ROE maintains an inventory of capital assets which have been accumulated
over time. For FY 2011 there were no acquisitions meeting the capitalization threshold.
Depreciation expense for the FY 2011 was $0. All of the ROE’s capital assets were fully
depreciated as of June 30, 2011.
Economic Factors and Next Year’s Budget
At the time these financial statements were prepared and audited, the Regional Office was aware
of several existing circumstances that could affect its financial health in the future:
The interest rate on investments remains low and will impact interest earned.
Most grants have been reduced significantly. The ROE Service Line has been cut in half.
Covering expenditures from this source of revenue is impossible. As a result, ROE Service
obligations will have to be met with other sources of revenue such as Teacher Institute,
Workshops, Administrators Academy, etc. Failure to sufficiently fund ROEs will challenge
the entire organization as the effects of the reductions ripple throughout the unit.
General State Aid is being prorated at 95% of the FY 2011 foundation level of $6,119.
Federal ARRA offset that aided in previous years is not expected.
County Board support for Regional Office of Education No. 35 will remain level.

LASALLE COUNTY REGIONAL OFFICE OF EDUCATION NO. 35
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
JUNE 30, 2011
27
NOTE 1 - SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
The LaSalle County Regional Office of Education No. 35 (ROE) operates under the School Code
(105 ILCS 5/3 and 5/3A). The ROE encompasses LaSalle County, Illinois. A Regional
Superintendent of Schools serves as Chief Administrative Officer of the region and is elected to
the position for a four year term pursuant to 105 ILCS 5/3 and 5/3A of the School Code. The
Regional Superintendent is responsible for the supervision and control of the school districts.
The principal financial duty of the Regional Superintendent is to receive and distribute monies
due to school districts from general State aid, State categorical grants, and various other sources.
The Regional Superintendent’s responsibilities for administering the school educational service
region programs include, but are not limited to, providing directions to teachers and school
officials on science, art and teaching methods; implementing the State Board of Education’s
Policy Programs; encouraging camaraderie among teachers through the teachers’ institute;
making public notice of unfilled teaching positions within the region; and ensuring the safety,
health and welfare of the students in the region by periodically inspecting the school buildings
and ensuring that the bus drivers have valid driving licenses and are properly trained to operate
the school buses.
The ROE’s accounting policies conform to generally accepted accounting principles which are
appropriate for local governmental agencies of this type.
A. Reporting Entity
The ROE’s reporting entity includes all related organizations for which the ROE exercises
oversight responsibility. The ROE has developed criteria to determine whether outside
agencies with activities which benefit the citizens of the ROE, including joint agreements
which serve pupils from numerous school districts, should be included within its financial
reporting entity. The criteria include but are not limited to, whether the ROE exercises
oversight responsibility (which includes financial interdependency, selection of governing
authority, designation of management, ability to significantly influence operations, and
accountability for fiscal matters), scope of public service, and special financing relationships.
Blended Component Units
A component unit is an entity which is legally separate from the ROE, but is so intertwined
with the ROE that it is, in substance, the same as the ROE. It is reported as part of the ROE
and blended into the appropriate funds.
LASALLE COUNTY REGIONAL OFFICE OF EDUCATION NO. 35
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
JUNE 30, 2011

NOTE 1 - SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (continued)
On July 1, 1998, the ROE entered into an Intergovernmental Agreement executed pursuant to
the provisions of the Intergovernmental Cooperation Clause of the Illinois Constitution as
well as the provisions of the Intergovernmental Cooperation Act of 1973 and the Illinois
Admin. Code 525.110 to form an educational service delivery system. The name of the
educational service delivery system formed is known as the LaSalle County - Putnam,
Marshall, Woodford Counties Service Delivery System. The Service Delivery System is
responsible for the administration and performance of accounting procedures that conform to
all applicable rules and regulations of the Illinois State Board of Education. ROE was
designated as Administrative Agent and Director.
The following grants to ROE and Marshall-Putnam-Woodford Counties Regional Office of
Education No. 43 were assigned to the LaSalle, Marshall, Putnam, and Woodford Counties
Service Delivery System: ROE/ISC Operations, Truants Alternative Program, Learning
Technology Center, Beginning Teachers Induction Pilot Program, Gifted and Reading First.
These grants are reported as Special Revenue Funds.
The ROE is not aware of any entity which would exercise such oversight as to result in the
Regional Office being considered a component unit of the entity.
B. Government-wide and Fund Financial Statements
The government-wide financial statements (i.e., the Statement of Net Assets and the
Statement of Activities) report information on all of the nonfiduciary activities of the primary
government. For the most part, the effect of interfund activity has been removed from these
statements. The statements distinguish between those activities of the ROE that are
governmental in nature and those that are considered business-type activities. Governmental
activities normally are supported by operating grants and contributions, charges for services
and intergovernmental revenues. Business-type activities normally are supported by operating
revenues which include amounts assessed or received from local sources for the ROE
programs.
The Statement of Net Assets presents the ROE’s nonfiduciary assets and liabilities with the
differences reported as net assets. Net assets of the ROE are classified as follows:
Invested in Capital Assets - represent the ROE’s total investment in capital assets less related
depreciation. There is no outstanding debt related to these assets at this time.
Restricted Net Assets - represent net resources in which the ROE is legally obligated to spend
in accordance with restrictions imposed by (1) external groups such as grantors or
contributors; or (2) laws through constitutional provisions or enabling legislation.
Unrestricted Net Assets - represent remaining net resources not classified as Restricted Net
Assets or Invested in Capital Assets and are used for transactions relating to the general
operations of the ROE at the discretion of management.

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
JUNE 30, 2011

NOTE 1 - SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (continued)
The Statement of Activities demonstrates the degree to which the direct expenses of a given
function or segment are offset by program revenues. Direct expenses are those that are
clearly identifiable with a specific function or segment. Program revenues include 1)
charges to customers or applicants who purchase, use or directly benefit from goods,
services, or privileges provided by a given function or segment and 2) grants and
contributions that are restricted to meeting the operational or capital requirements of a
particular function or segment. Other items not properly included among program revenues
are reported instead as general revenues. Major individual funds are reported as separate
columns in the fund financial statements.
C. New Accounting Pronouncement
Effective July 1, 2010, the ROE adopted the following accounting pronouncements:
Governmental Accounting Standards Board (GASB) Statement No. 54, Fund Balance
Reporting and Governmental Fund Type Definitions
GASB Statement No. 59, Financial Instruments Omnibus
GASB Statement No. 62, Codification of Accounting and Financial Reporting Guidance
Contained in Pre-November 30, 1989 FASB and AICPA Pronouncements
GASB Statements No. 59 and 62 had no impact on the ROE’s financial statements. The
adoption of GASB Statement No. 54 required the ROE to re-evaluate and reclassify the
accounts comprising the funds based on the provisions of the statement. The statement
changed fund balance reporting for governmental funds by adding and modifying fund
balance classifications, and providing additional disclosures on how fund balance constraints
are imposed and may be modified or eliminated. A prior period adjustment has been reported
for the net assets that were reclassified. See Note 12 for the details.
On July 1, 2011, the ROE will adopt GASB Statement No. 64. This pronouncement will
have no impact on the ROE.
D. Measurement Focus, Basis of Accounting, and Financial Statement Presentation
The financial statements of the ROE are prepared in accordance with generally accepted
accounting principles (GAAP). The ROE applies all applicable GASB pronouncements.
The government-wide, the proprietary fund, and the 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 when a liability
is incurred, regardless of the timing of related cash flows. Grants and similar items are
recognized as revenue as soon as all eligibility requirements imposed by provider have been
met.

NOTE 1 - SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (continued)
Governmental fund financial statements are reported using the current financial resources
measurement focus and the modified accrual basis of accounting. Revenues are recognized
when they are both measurable and available. “Measurable” means the amount of the
transaction can be determined and “available” means collectible within the current period or
soon enough thereafter to be used to pay liabilities of the current period. The ROE considers
revenues as available if they are collected within 60 days after year-end. Expenditures are
generally recorded when a liability is incurred, as under accrual accounting. In applying the
susceptible to accrual concept to intergovernmental revenues, the legal and contractual
requirements of the numerous individual programs are used as guidance. There are
essentially two types of these revenues. In one, monies must be expended before any
amounts will be reimbursed; therefore, revenues are recognized based upon the expenditures
recorded. In the other, monies are usually revocable only for failure to comply with
prescribed compliance requirements. These resources are reflected as revenues at the time
that all eligibility requirements imposed by the provider have been met unless the resources
are not measurable or available as described above.
When restricted, committed, assigned and unassigned resources are available for use, it is the
ROE’s policy to use restricted resources first, then committed, assigned and finally
unassigned resources as they are needed.
The ROE records on-behalf payments made by the State and LaSalle County for salary,
benefits and contributions to the Teachers’ Retirement System or the Illinois Municipal
Retirement Fund as revenues and expenditures.
E. Fund Accounting
The accounts of the ROE are organized on the basis of funds, each of which is considered a
separate accounting entity. The operations of each fund are accounted for with a separate set
of self-balancing accounts that comprise its assets, liabilities, fund balance, revenue, and
expenditures. The ROE maintains individual funds as required by the State of Illinois. The
resources are allocated to and accounted for in individual funds based upon the purposes for
which they are to be spent and the means by which spending activities are controlled. The
various funds are summarized by type in the basic financial statements. The following
summarizes the fund types used:
Governmental Fund Types
Governmental Funds are those through which most governmental functions of the ROE are
financed. The acquisition, use and balances of the ROE’s expendable financial resources and
the related liabilities are accounted for through governmental funds.
General Fund - The General Funds are used to account for all financial resources except
those required to be accounted for in another fund. The general fund is reported as a

Proprietary Fund Types
Proprietary funds are used to account for a government’s ongoing organizations and activities
that are similar to those often found in the private sector. All assets, liabilities, net assets,
revenues, expenses, and transfers relating to the government’s business activities in which
changes in net assets or cost recovery are measured, are accounted for through proprietary
funds (enterprise and internal service funds). Generally accepted accounting principles for
proprietary funds are similar to those applicable to businesses in the private sector; the
measurement focus is on determining operating income, financial position, and cash flows.
Enterprise Funds - to account for resources from fees charged directly to those entities or
individuals that use its services. The ROE reported the following enterprise funds as
major proprietary funds.
Workshop - to account for local revenues and disbursements related to various

disbursements for testing the proficiency of prospective teacher aids.
Criminal Background Investigation - to account for the assessments received
from the school districts to pay for the processing of background checks of
substitute teachers and expenditures incurred providing this service to the
school districts.
Fiduciary Fund Types
Fiduciary Funds are used to account for assets held by the ROE in a trustee capacity or as an
agent for individuals, private organizations, and/or other governments.
Agency Funds are custodial in nature and do not involve measurement of results of
operations. The amounts due to school districts and due to other governments are equal
to the assets. Agency Funds include Distributive, Payroll and
Marshall/Putnam/Woodford ROE No. 43’s Teacher Quality Grant.
Distributive - to account for funds received and disbursed as a result of the
Regional Superintendent’s responsibility to receive and distribute to treasurers of
school districts and other agencies, monies due to them from general State aid,
State categorical grants, and various other sources.
Payroll - to account for all payroll that is incurred. Any fund that has payroll
remits the money to the Payroll Fund, the Fund then pays the employee. This is
an administrating agent for the ROE’s payroll.
MPW’s - Teacher Quality Grant - to account for funds received and disbursed on
behalf of ROE No. 43 for this particular grant program.
F. Governmental Fund Balances
Fund Balance is the difference between assets and liabilities in a Governmental Fund. The
following types of fund balances may be presented in the Governmental Funds Balance Sheet
and Governmental Funds Combining Schedule of Accounts:
Nonspendable Fund Balance - the portion of a Governmental Fund’s net assets that are
not available to be spent, either short term or long term, in either form or through legal
restrictions. The nonspendable fund balance reported is for prepaid expenses from
General State Aid (in the General Fund) and ROE/ISC Operations (in the Education
Fund).

NOTE 1 - SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (continued)
Restricted Fund Balance - the portion of the Governmental Fund’s net assets that are
subject to external enforceable legal restrictions. The following accounts fund balances
are restricted by grant agreements, or contracts: National School Breakfast Program,
National School Lunch Program, and State Free Lunch & Breakfast Program The
following accounts fund balances are restricted by Illinois statute: Institute, General
Education Development, School Bus Driver Training, and Annexation and Sales
Petition.
Committed Fund Balance - the portion of a Governmental Fund’s net assets with self-imposed
constraints or limitations that have been placed at the highest level of decision
making. The ROE has no committed fund balances.
Assigned Fund Balance - the portion of a Governmental Fund’s net assets denoted for
an intended use of the resources. The accounts with assigned fund balances are
specified for a particular purpose by the Regional Superintendent. The following
accounts fund balances were assigned: RSSP Student, Principal Mentoring, and Title II

Unassigned Fund Balance - available expendable financial resources in a governmental
fund that are not designated for a specific purpose. The accounts with unassigned fund
balances are: General, Hazard Safety Reimbursement, General State Aid, Regional Safe
Schools, Truants Alternative Programs, ROE/ISC Operations, Learning Technology
Center, Beginning Teachers Induction Pilot Program, and System of Support.
G. Revenues - Exchange and Non-exchange Transactions
Revenue resulting from exchange transactions, in which each party gives and receives
essentially equal value, is recorded on the accrual basis when the exchange takes place. On a
modified accrual basis, revenue is recorded in the fiscal year in which the resources are
measurable and become available.
Non-exchange transactions, in which the ROE receives value without directly giving value in
return, include grants and donations. On an accrual basis, revenue from grants and donations
is recognized in the fiscal year in which all eligibility requirements have been satisfied.
Eligibility requirements include timing requirements, which specify the year when the
resources are required to be used or the fiscal year when use is first permitted; matching
requirements, in which the ROE must provide local resources to be used for a specific
purpose; and expenditure requirements, in which the resources are provided to the ROE on a
reimbursement basis. On a modified accrual basis, revenue from non-exchange transactions
must be available before it can be recognized.

H. Cash and Cash Equivalents
For presentation in the financial statements, investments with an original maturity of three
months or less at the time they are purchased by the ROE are considered to be cash
equivalents. Investments with original maturities of more than three months are reported as
investments.
I. Investments
The ROE’s established investment policy follows the State of Illinois Public Funds
Investment Act which authorizes the ROE to purchase certain obligations of the U.S.
Treasury, Federal agencies and instrumentalities; certificates of deposit and time deposits
covered by Federal depository insurance; commercial paper of U.S. corporations with assets
exceeding $500,000,000, if such paper is rated at the highest classification established by at
least two standard rating services; money market funds and the Illinois Funds.
J. Capital Assets
General capital assets result from expenditures in the governmental funds. These assets are
reported in the governmental activities column of the government-wide Statement of Net
Assets but are not reported in the fund financial statements.
Capital assets are recorded at cost at time of acquisition or fair value at the date of donation.
The ROE capitalizes items costing $5,000 or more and intangible assets costing $25,000 or
more. Depreciation is calculated on a straight-line basis over the estimated useful lives (five
to twenty years) of the respective assets.
K. Estimates
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with generally accepted accounting
principles requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect certain
reported amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. Actual results could differ from
those estimates.
L. Budgets and Budgetary Accounting
The ROE did not formally adopt a budget for the year ended June 30, 2011 and is not legally
required to do so. The Illinois State Board of Education requires budgets for certain State
and Federal programs. These budgets were used to prepare Budgetary Comparison
Schedules for the following accounts within the Education Fund: McKinney Education for
Homeless Children, Regional Safe Schools, Truants Alternative Programs, ROE/ISC
Operations, Learning Technology Center, Beginning Teachers Induction Pilot Program,
Reading First, Gifted #35 and Gifted #43, and ARRA – Title I School Improvement.

market accounts are investments.
Deposits
The ROE utilizes several different bank accounts for its various activities. The book
balance of such accounts is $843,154 at June 30, 2011, while the bank balance was $928,454.
The difference between the above amounts primarily represents checks that have been issued but
have not yet cleared the bank as of June 30, 2011. Of the total bank balance as of June 30, 2011,
$524,617 was insured by Federal depository insurance, $384,142 was collateralized by securities

NOTE 6 - RETIREMENT PLANS (continued)
Illinois Municipal Retirement Fund
Plan Description
The ROE’s defined benefit pension plan for regular employees provides retirement and disability
benefits, post retirement increases, and death benefits to plan members and beneficiaries. The
ROE’s plan is affiliated with the Illinois Municipal Retirement Fund (IMRF), an agent multiple-employer
plan. Benefit provisions are established by statute and may only be changed by the
General Assembly of the State of Illinois. IMRF issues a publicly available financial report that
includes financial statements and required supplementary information. The report may be
obtained on-line at www.imrf.org.
Funding Policy
As set by statute, the ROE’s Regular plan members are required to contribute 4.50% of their
annual covered salary. The statutes require employers to contribute the amount necessary, in
addition to member contributions, to finance the retirement coverage of its own employees. The
employer contribution rate for calendar year 2010 was 11.75%. The ROE also contributes for
disability benefits, death benefits and supplemental retirement benefits, all of which are pooled at
the IMRF level. Contribution rates for disability and death benefits are set by the IMRF Board
of Trustees, while the supplemental retirement benefits rate is set by statute.
Annual Pension Cost
The required contribution for calendar year 2010 was $40,831

12/31/08 27,054 100% -
The required contribution for 2010 was determined as part of the December 31, 2008 actuarial
valuation using the entry age normal actuarial cost method. The actuarial assumptions at
December 31, 2008 included (a) 7.50% investment rate of return (net of administrative and direct
investment expenses), (b) projected salary increases of 4.00% a year, attributable to inflation, (c)
additional projected salary increases ranging from 0.4% to 10% per year depending on age and
service, attributable to seniority/merit, and (d) post retirement benefit increases of 3% annually.
The actuarial value of the ROE’s Regular plan assets was determined using techniques that
spread the effects of short-term volatility in the market value of investments over a five-year
period with a 20% corridor between the actuarial and market value of assets. The ROE’s
Regular plan’s unfunded actuarial accrued liability at December 31, 2008 is being amortized as a
level percentage of projected payroll on an open 10 year basis.

NOTE 6 - RETIREMENT PLANS (continued)
Funded Status and Funding Progress
As of December 31, 2010, the most recent actuarial valuation date, the regular plan was 89.93
percent funded. The actuarial accrued liability for benefits was $756,519 and the actuarial value
of assets was $680,371, resulting in an underfunded actuarial accrued liability (UAAL) of
$76,148. The covered payroll for the calendar year 2010 (annual payroll of active employees
covered by the plan) was $347,496 and the ratio of the UAAL to the covered payroll was 22
percent.
The schedule of funding progress, presented as RSI following the notes to the financial
statements, presents multiyear trend information about whether the actuarial value of plan assets
is increasing or decreasing over time relative to the actuarial accrued liability for benefits.
Teachers’ Retirement System of the State of Illinois
The ROE participates in the Teachers’ Retirement System of the State of Illinois (TRS). TRS is
a cost-sharing multiple-employer defined benefit pension plan that was created by Illinois
legislature for the benefit of Illinois public school teachers employed outside the city of Chicago.
The Illinois Pension Code outlines the benefit provisions of TRS, and amendments to the plan
can be made only by legislative action with the Governor’s approval. The State of Illinois
maintains the primary responsibility for funding the plan, but contributions from participating
employers and members are also required. The TRS Board of Trustees is responsible for the
system’s administration.
TRS members include all active nonannuitants who are employed by a TRS-covered employer to
provide services for which teacher certification is required. The active member contribution rate
for the year ended June 30, 2011, was 9.4 percent of creditable earnings. The same contribution
rate applies to members whose first contributing service is on or after Jan. 1, 2011, the effective
date of the benefit changes contained in Public Act 96-0889. These contributions, which may be
paid on behalf of employees by the employer, are submitted to TRS by the employer. The active
member contribution rate was also 9.4 percent for the years ended June 30, 2010 and 2009.
The state of Illinois makes contributions directly to TRS on behalf of the ROE’s TRS-covered
employees.

NOTE 6 - RETIREMENT PLANS (continued)
On-behalf Contributions to TRS. The State of Illinois makes employer pension
contributions on behalf of the ROE. For the year ended June 30, 2011, the State of Illinois
contributions were based on 23.10 percent of creditable earnings not paid from federal funds,
and the ROE recognized revenue and expenditures of $53,666 in pension contributions that
the State of Illinois paid directly to TRS. For the years ended June 30, 2010 and June 30,
2009, the State of Illinois contribution rates as percentages of creditable earnings not paid
from federal funds were 23.38 percent ($59,524) and 17.08 percent ($38,154) respectively.
The ROE makes other types of employer contributions directly to TRS.
2.2 Formula Contributions. Employers contribute 0.58 percent of total creditable earnings
for the 2.2 formula change. This rate is specified by statute. Contributions for the year
ended June 30, 2011 were $1,439 . Contributions for the years ended June 30, 2010, and June
30, 2009, were $1,500 and $1,296, respectively.
Federal and Special Trust Fund Contributions. When TRS members are paid from
federal and special trust funds administered by the ROE, there is a statutory requirement for
the ROE to pay an employer pension contribution from those funds. Under a policy adopted
by the TRS Board of Trustees that was first effective in the fiscal year ended June 30, 2006,
employer contributions for employees paid from federal and special trust funds will be the
same as the state contribution rate to TRS.
For the year ended June 30, 2011, the employer pension contribution was 23.10 percent of
salaries paid from federal and special trust funds. For the year ended June 30, 2010 and
2009, the employer contribution was 23.38 and 17.08 percent of salaries paid from federal
and special trust funds, respectively. For the year ended June 30, 2011, salaries totaling
$15,757 were paid from federal and special trust funds that required employer contributions
of $3,640. For the years ended June 30, 2010 and June 30, 2009, required ROE contributions
were $952 and $1,549, respectively.
Early Retirement Option (ERO). The ROE is also required to make one-time employer
contributions to TRS for members retiring under the Early Retirement Option (ERO). The
payments vary depending on the age and salary of the member.
The maximum employer ERO contribution is 117.5 percent and applies when the member is
age 55 at retirement.
For the year ended June 30, 2011, the ROE paid $0 to TRS for employer contributions under
the ERO programs. For the years ended June 30, 2010 and 2009, the ROE paid $0 in
employer ERO contributions.

If an employer grants salary increases over 6 percent and those salaries are used to
calculate a retiree’s final average salary, the employer makes a contribution to TRS. The
contribution will cover the difference in actuarial cost of the benefit based on actual
salary increases and the benefit based on salary increases of up to 6 percent.
For the year ended June 30, 2011, the ROE paid $0 to TRS for employer contributions
due on salary increases in excess of 6 percent. For the years ended June 30, 2010 and
June 30, 2009, the ROE did not have any payments to TRS for employer contributions
due on salary increases in excess of 6 percent.
If an employer grants sick leave days in excess of the normal annual allotment and those
days are used as TRS service credit, the employer makes a contribution to TRS. The
contribution is based on the number of excess sick leave days used as service credit, the
highest salary used to calculate final average salary, and the TRS total normal cost rate
(18.03 percent of salary during the year ended June 30, 2011 as recertified pursuant to
Public Act 96-1511).
For the year ended June 30, 2011, the ROE paid $0 to TRS for sick leave days granted in
excess of the normal annual allotment. For the years ended June 30, 2010 and June 30,
2009, the ROE did not have any payments to TRS for sick leave days granted in excess of
the normal annual allotment.
TRS financial information, an explanation of TRS’ benefits, and descriptions of member,
employer and State funding requirements can be found in the TRS Comprehensive Annual
Financial Report for the year ended June 30, 2010. The report for the year ended June 30, 2011
is expected to be available in late 2011.
The reports may be obtained by writing to the Teachers’ Retirement System of the State of
Illinois, 2815 West Washington Street, Springfield, IL 62794-9253. The most current report is

NOTE 7 - OTHER POSTEMPLOYMENT BENEFITS
Plan Description
In addition to providing the pension benefits described, the Roe provides
postemployment health care benefits (OPEB) for retired employees through a single
employer defined benefit plan. The benefits, benefit levels, employee contributions and
employer contributions are governed by the ROE and can be amended by the ROE
through its personnel manual, except for the implicit subsidy which is governed by the
State Legislature and Illinois Compiled Statutes. The plan is not accounted for as a trust
fund, as an irrevocable trust has not been established to account for the plan. The plan
does not issue a separate report. The activity of the plan is reported in the ROE
governmental funds.
Benefits Provided
The ROE provides continued health insurance coverage at the blended employer rate to
all eligible retirees in accordance with the Illinois Compiled Statutes, which creates an
implicit subsidy of retiree health insurance. To be eligible for benefits, an employee must
qualify for retirement under the ROE retirement plan. Upon a retiree reaching age 65
years of age, Medicare becomes the primary insurer and the retiree is no longer eligible to
participate in the plan, but can purchase a Medicare supplement plan from the ROE’s
insurance provider.
Membership
At July 1, 2010 membership consisted of:
Retirees and Beneficiaries Currently Receiving Benefits -
Terminated Employees Entitled
to Benefits but not yet Receiving Them -
Active Employees 2
TOTAL 2
Participating Employers 1
Funding Policy
The ROE is not required to and currently does not advance fund the cost of benefits that
will become due and payable in the future. Active employees do not contribute to the
plan until retirement. Retirees are responsible for paying their own premiums.

Annual OPEB Costs and Net OPEB Obligation
The ROE first had an actuarial valuation performed for the plan as of July 1, 2009 to
determine the funded status of the plan as of that date as well as the employer’s annual
required contribution (ARC) for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2010. The ROE’s annual
OPEB cost (expense) $1,077 is $1 more than the ARC for the fiscal year. The ROE’s
annual OPEB cost, the percentage of annual OPEB cost contributed to the plan and the
net OPEB obligation for fiscal year 2011 were as follows (information for the year
ending June 30, 2009 is not available as an actuarial valuation was performed for the first

NOTE 7 - OTHER POSTEMPLOYMENT BENEFITS (continued)
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 the healthcare
cost trend. 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. The
schedule of funding progress, presented as required supplementary information following
the notes to the financial statements, presents multi-year trend information that shows
whether the actuarial value of the plan assets is increasing or decreasing over time
relative to the actuarial accrued liabilities for benefits.
Actuarial Methods and Assumptions - Projections of benefits for financial reporting
purposes are based on the substantive plan (the plan as understood by the employer and
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 short-term volatility in actuarial accrued liabilities and the
actuarial value of assets, consistent with the long-term perspective of the calculations.
In the July 1, 2009, actuarial valuation, the unit credit cost method was used. The
actuarial assumptions included a discount rate of 4.00% and an initial healthcare cost
trend rate of 11.00% with a ultimate healthcare inflation rate of 5.00% increase for 2019
and later years. Both rates include a 3.00% inflation assumption. The actuarial value of
assets was not determined as the ROE has not advance funded its obligation. The plan’s
unfunded actuarial accrued liability is being amortized using a closed, level dollar
method. The remaining amortization period at July 1, 2009 was 30 years.
Teacher Health Insurance Security Fund
The ROE also participates in the Teacher Health Insurance Security (THIS) Fund, a cost-sharing,
multiple-employer defined benefit postemployment healthcare plan that was established by the
Illinois legislature for the benefit of Illinois public school teachers employed outside the city of
Chicago. The THIS Fund provides medical, prescription, and behavioral health benefits, but
does not provide vision, dental, or life insurance benefits to annuitants of the Teachers’
Retirement System (TRS). Annuitants may participate in the State administered participating
provider option plan or choose from several managed care options.
The State Employees Group Insurance Act of 1971 (5 ILCS 375) outlines the benefit provisions
of THIS Fund and amendments to the plan can be made only by legislative action with the
Governor’s approval. The Illinois Department of Healthcare and Family Services (HFS) and the
Illinois Department of Central Management Services (CMS) administer the plan with the
cooperation of TRS. The director of the HFS determines the rates and premiums for annuitants

and dependent beneficiaries and establishes the cost-sharing parameters. Section 6.6 of the State
Employees Group Insurance Act of 1971 requires all active contributors to the TRS who are not
employees of the State make a contribution to THIS.
The percentage of employer required contributions in the future will be determined by the
director of Healthcare and Family Services and will not exceed 105 percent of the percentage of
salary actually required to be paid in the previous fiscal year.
On behalf contributions to THIS Fund
The state of Illinois makes employer retiree health insurance contributions on behalf of
the ROE. State contributions are intended to match contributions to THIS Fund from
active members which were 0.88 percent of pay during the year ended June 30, 2011.
State of Illinois contributions were $2,183, and the ROE recognized revenue and
expenditures of this amount during the year.
State contributions intended to match active member contributions during the year ended
June 30, 2010 was .84 percent of pay. State contributions on behalf of the ROE
employees were $2,173. Had the ROE recognized revenue and expenditures for State
contributions intended to match active member contributions during the year ended June
30, 2009 under the current standards, the contribution match would have been .84 percent
of pay or $1,876.
Employer contributions to THIS Fund
The ROE also makes contributions to THIS Fund. The employer THIS Fund
contribution was 0.66 percent during the years ended June 30, 2011, and 0.63 percent for
the years ended June 30, 2010 and June 30, 2009. For the year ended June 30, 2011, the
ROE paid $1,637 to the THIS Fund. For the years ended June 30, 2010 and June 30,
2009, the ROE paid $1,630 and $1,407 to the THIS Fund, respectively, which was 100
percent of the required contributions.
Further information on THIS Fund
The publicly available financial report of the THIS Fund may be obtained by writing to
the Department of Healthcare and Family Services, 201 S. Grand Ave., Springfield, IL
62763-3838.

General Fund by the written consent of all affected school boards and other entities. The funds
are utilized by the Regional Superintendent to purchase computer equipment, develop in-service
activities and other innovative programs, as well as assist with the necessary operating expenses
of the ROE office.
NOTE 10 – ON-BEHALF PAYMENTS FOR SALARIES AND BENEFITS
The salaries and benefits of the Superintendent and Assistant Superintendent of the ROE are paid
for by the State of Illinois. Teachers Retirement System (TRS) contributions for the

NOTE 11 – NEGATIVE FUND BALANCES
The negative fund balances in Truants Alternative Programs, Regional Safe Schools, Learning
Technology Center, Beginning Teachers Induction Pilot Program, and the ROE/ISC Operation
programs will be resolved when the State of Illinois pays their contracted amounts to the ROE.
The negative fund balance in System of Support will be resolved when Boone/Winnebego
Regional Office of Education No. 4 pays their contracted amount to the ROE. Each of these
deficits were the result of revenue that was deferred due to failure to meet the availability
criteria.
NOTE 12 – PRIOR PERIOD ADJUSTMENT
On July 1, 2010 the ROE adopted GASB Statement No. 54. This standard required the ROE to
reclassify certain accounts within its governmental funds in order to comply with requirements
of the standard. This standard also required the ROE to apply the provisions retroactively by
restating the fund balance for all prior periods presented. The following accounts and their fund
balances were reclassified from the funds indicated:

The purpose of that report is to describe the scope of our testing of internal control over financial reporting and compliance and the results of that testing, and not to provide an opinion on the internal control over financial reporting or on compliance. That report is an integral part of an audit performed in accordance with Government Auditing Standards and should be considered in assessing the results of our audit. The Management's Discussion and Analysis, the Illinois Municipal Retirement Fund Schedule of Funding Progress and the Other Postemployment Benefits Schedule of Funding Progress on pages 11 through 16 and 51 are not a required part of the basic financial statements but are supplementary information required by accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. We have applied certain limited procedures, which consisted principally of inquiries of management regarding the methods of measurement and presentation of the required supplementary information. However, we did not audit the information and express no opinion on it. Our audit was conducted for the purpose of forming opinions on the financial statements that collectively comprise the LaSalle County Regional Office of Education No. 35's basic financial statements. The combining and individual nonmajor fund financial statements, budgetary comparison schedules, and Schedule of Disbursements to School District Treasurers and Others are presented for purposes of additional analysis and are not a required part of the basic financial statements. The combining and individual nonmajor fund financial statements, budgetary comparison schedules, and the Schedule of Disbursements to School District Treasurers and Others have been subjected to the auditing procedures applied in the audit of the basic financial statements and, in our opinion, are fairly stated in all material respects in relation to the basic financial statements taken as a whole. February 7, 2012 6 chnack Certifod Public Accountants & Consultants 200 East Court Street • Suite 608 • Kankakee, IL 60901 815.933.1771 • fax: 815.933.1163 INDEPENDENT AUDITORS' 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 Honorable William G. Holland Auditor General State of Illinois As Special Assistant Auditors for the Auditor General, we have audited the financial statements of the governmental activities, the business-type activities, each major fund, and the aggregate remaining fund information of the LaSalle County Regional Office of Education No. 35, as of and for the year ended June 30, 2011, which collectively comprise the LaSalle County Regional Office of Education No. 35's basic financial statements and have issued our report thereon dated February 7, 2012. 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. Internal Control Over Financial Reporting Management of the LaSalle County Regional Office of Education No. 35 is responsible for establishing and maintaining effective internal control over financial reporting. In planning and performing our audit, we considered the LaSalle County Regional Office of Education No. 35's internal control over financial reporting as a basis for designing our aUditing procedures for the purpose of expressing our opinions on the financial statements and not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the LaSalle County Regional Office of Education No. 35's internal control over financial reporting. Accordingly, we do not express an opinion on the effectiveness of the LaSalle County Regional Office of Education No. 35's internal control over financial reporting. 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. 7 A material weakness is a deficiency, or 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. 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 deficiencies, significant deficiencies or material weaknesses. We did not identify any deficiencies in internal control over financial reporting that we consider to be material weaknesses, as defined above. Compliance and Other Matters As part of obtaining reasonable assurance about whether the LaSalle County Regional Office of Education No. 35'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 have noted a certain matter that we have reported to management of the LaSalle County Regional Office of Education No. 35 in a separate letter dated February 7,2012. This report is intended solely for the information and use of the Auditor General, the General Assembly, the Legislative Audit Commission, the Governor, agency management, others within the organization, and the Illinois State Board of Education and is not intended to be and should not be used by anyone other than these specified parties.

LASALLE COUNTY REGIONAL OFFICE OF EDUCATION NO. 35 MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS JUNE 30, 2011 11 The LaSalle County Regional Office of Education No. 35 (ROE) provides this Management’s Discussion and Analysis of its financial statements. This narrative overview and analysis of the financial activities is for the year ended June 30, 2011 with comparative information for the year ended June 30, 2010. In order to provide a comparative analysis, the ROE restated its 2010 governmental funds statements for the implementation of Governmental Accounting Standards Board Statement No. 54. Governmental Funds analysis are based on that restatement. Readers are encouraged to consider the information in conjunction with the Regional Office’s financial statements that follow. 2011 Financial Highlights Within the Governmental Funds, the General Fund revenues increased by $32,750 (10%) from $331,082 in FY 2010 to $363,832 in FY 2011. The General Fund’s expenditures decreased by $9,468 (3%) from $362,792 in FY 2010 to $353,324 in FY 2011. Within the Governmental Funds, the Special Revenue Funds’ revenues increased by $256,605 (20%) from $1,315,205 in FY 2010 to $1,571,810 in FY 2011. The Special Revenue Funds’ expenditures increased by $36,316 (2%) from $1,478,678 in FY 2010 to $1,514,994 in FY 2011. The Enterprise Funds’ revenues increased by $21,603 (13%) from $170,430 in FY 2010 to $192,033 in FY 2011. The Enterprise Funds’ expenditures increased by $29,596 (19%) from $159,142 in FY 2010 to $188,738 in FY 2011. Using This Report This report consists of a series of financial statements and other information, as follows: Management’s Discussion and Analysis introduces financial statements and provides an analytical overview of the ROE’s financial activities. The Government-wide financial statements consist of a Statement of Net Assets and a Statement of Activities. These provide information about the activities of the ROE as a whole and present an overall view of the ROE’s finances. Fund financial statements report the ROE’s operations in more detail than the government-wide statements by providing information about the most significant funds. Notes to the financial statements provide additional information that is needed for a full understanding of the data provided in the basic financial statements. Required supplementary information and supplementary information further explains and supports the financial statements and supplementary information provides detailed information about the non-major funds. Reporting the ROE as a Whole It is important to note, that many grants are a cooperative effort of the ROE and the Marshall/Putnam/Woodford Counties Regional Office of Education No. 43. Therefore, these LASALLE COUNTY REGIONAL OFFICE OF EDUCATION NO. 35 MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS JUNE 30, 2011 12 figures may reflect grants that are intended to serve LaSalle County only, as well as grants that serve LaSalle, Marshall, Putnam and Woodford Counties. The Statement of Net Assets and the Statement of Activities Government-wide Financial Statements The Government-wide financial statements report information about the ROE as a whole. The Statement of Net Assets includes all of the assets and liabilities, with the difference reported as net assets. All of the current year revenues and expenses are accounted for in the Statement of Activities regardless of when cash is received or paid using Generally Accepted Accounting Principles. The Government-wide financial statements report the ROE’s net assets and how they have changed. Net assets - the difference between assets and liabilities - are one way to measure the ROE’s financial condition. Over time, increases or decreases in the net assets can be an indicator of whether financial position is improving or deteriorating, respectively. To assess the ROE’s overall financial condition, additional non-financial factors, such as new laws, rules, regulations, and actions by officials at the State level need to be considered. Fund Financial Statements The fund financial statements provide detailed information about the ROE’s funds. Funds are accounting devices that allow the tracking of specific sources of funding and spending on particular programs. Some funds are required by State law. The ROE established other funds to control and manage money for particular purposes. The ROE has three kinds of funds: (1) Governmental funds account for those funds through which most governmental functions of the ROE are financed. These focus on how cash and other financial assets that can be readily converted to cash flow in and out and the balances left at the year-end that are available for spending. Consequently, the governmental fund statements provide a detailed short-term view that helps determine whether there are more or fewer resources that can be spent in the near future to finance the ROE’s programs. The ROE’s Governmental Funds include: the General Fund and the Special Revenue Funds. The governmental funds required financial statements include a Balance Sheet and a Statement of Revenues, Expenditures and Changes in Fund Balances. (2) Proprietary funds account for resources from fees charged directly to those entities or individuals that use its services. Proprietary fund statements provide both long-term and short-term financial information consistent with the focus provided by government-wide LASALLE COUNTY REGIONAL OFFICE OF EDUCATION NO. 35 MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS JUNE 30, 2011 13 financial statements but with more detail for major and non-major enterprise funds. The proprietary funds required financial statements include a Statement of Net Assets, Statement of Revenues, Expenses and Changes in Fund Net Assets and a Statement of Cash Flows. (3) Fiduciary funds are used to account for assets held by the ROE in a trust capacity or as an agent for individuals and private or governmental organizations. These funds are custodial in nature (assets equal liabilities) and do not involve measurement of results of operations. The fiduciary funds required financial statements include a Statement of Fiduciary Net Assets. Government-Wide Financial Analysis As noted earlier, net assets, when examined over time, may serve as an indicator of the financial health of the ROE. The net assets at the end of FY 2011 and 2010 totaled $1,129,271 and $1,129,166, respectively. The analysis that follows provides a summary of the ROE’s net assets as of June 30.

An increase of $30,260 (4%) occurred in the Governmental Activities and a $30,155 (9%) decrease occurred in the Business- Type Activities as a result of a transfer of Workshop funds to the ROE/ISC Operations Fund to offset the overspending due to the State’s budget cuts. LASALLE COUNTY REGIONAL OFFICE OF EDUCATION NO. 35 MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS JUNE 30, 2011 14 CHANGES IN NET ASSETS The following analysis shows the changes in net assets for the years ended June 30, 2011 and 2010.

Most grants decreased in FY 2011. New programs totaling $171,433 were funded in FY 2011. These new programs include ARRA Title 1 School Improvement, WIA – Youth Activities and AARA Education Jobs Funds. Expenses were proportionally increased or decreased to meet the funding level. LASALLE COUNTY REGIONAL OFFICE OF EDUCATION NO. 35 MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS JUNE 30, 2011 15 Business-Type Activities Revenues for business-type activities were $192,821 and expenditures were $188,738. The increase in revenue is attributed to more revenue in most of the non-major propriety funds. The expense increases are attributed to the increased supplies and materials in the Workshop fund, increased purchased services in the Discovery United Streaming Coop, and the salaries and benefits and miscellaneous increases in the non-major propriety funds in FY 2011. Financial Analysis of the ROE Funds As previously noted, the ROE uses fund accounting to ensure and demonstrate compliance with finance-related legal requirements. The ROE’s Governmental Funds reported combined fund balances of $704,730. Governmental Fund Highlights The School Services grant (ROE/ISC Operations) budget was slashed $11,017 (9%) compared to FY 2010. This funding provided by the State did not pay for all school service activities, etc. Workshop funds were transferred to help offset the deficit. The dollar return on investments (certificate of deposit, short-term investments and interest earned on a float), were reduced because of the low interest rates. In order to provide services budgeted for the Direct Service Budget, certain investments again had to be used which also reduced the amount of interest revenue received. County support for the Regional Office of Education No. 35 remained at level funding. The State Aid foundation level was the same as FY 2010 at $6,119. Proprietary Fund Highlights Total proprietary fund net assets decreased by $30,155 (9%). The net decrease in the proprietary funds is attributed to the transfer of Proprietary Funds to School Services in order to complete all State required mandates. Fiduciary Fund Highlights There was a decrease of $51,766,363 (75%) in total fiduciary funds additions for FY 2011. This decrease is attributed to management’s decision to have the Distributive Fund transferred directly to the schools instead of through the ROE in order to increase fiscal efficiency and reduce ROE costs. Transactions during FY 2011 represent mainly transfers in and out of funds for the Distributive Fund. LASALLE COUNTY REGIONAL OFFICE OF EDUCATION NO. 35 MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS JUNE 30, 2011 16 Budgetary Highlights The ROE annually prepares budgets for several funds which serve as a guideline for activities and expenditures. The Regional Superintendent annually prepares an Office Operations Budget and submits it to the County Board for their approval. The Office Operations Budget covers a fiscal year which runs from December 1 to November 30. All grant budgets are prepared by the ROE and submitted to the granting agency for approval. Amendments must be submitted under guidelines established by the granting agency. Additionally, all ROE funds are reported to the Advisory Board. Capital Assets The ROE’s capital assets include office equipment, computers, audio-visual equipment, and office furniture. The ROE maintains an inventory of capital assets which have been accumulated over time. For FY 2011 there were no acquisitions meeting the capitalization threshold. Depreciation expense for the FY 2011 was $0. All of the ROE’s capital assets were fully depreciated as of June 30, 2011. Economic Factors and Next Year’s Budget At the time these financial statements were prepared and audited, the Regional Office was aware of several existing circumstances that could affect its financial health in the future: The interest rate on investments remains low and will impact interest earned. Most grants have been reduced significantly. The ROE Service Line has been cut in half. Covering expenditures from this source of revenue is impossible. As a result, ROE Service obligations will have to be met with other sources of revenue such as Teacher Institute, Workshops, Administrators Academy, etc. Failure to sufficiently fund ROEs will challenge the entire organization as the effects of the reductions ripple throughout the unit. General State Aid is being prorated at 95% of the FY 2011 foundation level of $6,119. Federal ARRA offset that aided in previous years is not expected. County Board support for Regional Office of Education No. 35 will remain level.

The ROE encompasses LaSalle County, Illinois. A Regional Superintendent of Schools serves as Chief Administrative Officer of the region and is elected to the position for a four year term pursuant to 105 ILCS 5/3 and 5/3A of the School Code. The Regional Superintendent is responsible for the supervision and control of the school districts. The principal financial duty of the Regional Superintendent is to receive and distribute monies due to school districts from general State aid, State categorical grants, and various other sources. The Regional Superintendent’s responsibilities for administering the school educational service region programs include, but are not limited to, providing directions to teachers and school officials on science, art and teaching methods; implementing the State Board of Education’s Policy Programs; encouraging camaraderie among teachers through the teachers’ institute; making public notice of unfilled teaching positions within the region; and ensuring the safety, health and welfare of the students in the region by periodically inspecting the school buildings and ensuring that the bus drivers have valid driving licenses and are properly trained to operate the school buses. The ROE’s accounting policies conform to generally accepted accounting principles which are appropriate for local governmental agencies of this type. A. Reporting Entity The ROE’s reporting entity includes all related organizations for which the ROE exercises oversight responsibility. The ROE has developed criteria to determine whether outside agencies with activities which benefit the citizens of the ROE, including joint agreements which serve pupils from numerous school districts, should be included within its financial reporting entity. The criteria include but are not limited to, whether the ROE exercises oversight responsibility (which includes financial interdependency, selection of governing authority, designation of management, ability to significantly influence operations, and accountability for fiscal matters), scope of public service, and special financing relationships. Blended Component Units A component unit is an entity which is legally separate from the ROE, but is so intertwined with the ROE that it is, in substance, the same as the ROE. It is reported as part of the ROE and blended into the appropriate funds. LASALLE COUNTY REGIONAL OFFICE OF EDUCATION NO. 35 NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS JUNE 30, 2011 28 NOTE 1 - SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (continued) On July 1, 1998, the ROE entered into an Intergovernmental Agreement executed pursuant to the provisions of the Intergovernmental Cooperation Clause of the Illinois Constitution as well as the provisions of the Intergovernmental Cooperation Act of 1973 and the Illinois Admin. Code 525.110 to form an educational service delivery system. The name of the educational service delivery system formed is known as the LaSalle County - Putnam, Marshall, Woodford Counties Service Delivery System. The Service Delivery System is responsible for the administration and performance of accounting procedures that conform to all applicable rules and regulations of the Illinois State Board of Education. ROE was designated as Administrative Agent and Director. The following grants to ROE and Marshall-Putnam-Woodford Counties Regional Office of Education No. 43 were assigned to the LaSalle, Marshall, Putnam, and Woodford Counties Service Delivery System: ROE/ISC Operations, Truants Alternative Program, Learning Technology Center, Beginning Teachers Induction Pilot Program, Gifted and Reading First. These grants are reported as Special Revenue Funds. The ROE is not aware of any entity which would exercise such oversight as to result in the Regional Office being considered a component unit of the entity. B. Government-wide and Fund Financial Statements The government-wide financial statements (i.e., the Statement of Net Assets and the Statement of Activities) report information on all of the nonfiduciary activities of the primary government. For the most part, the effect of interfund activity has been removed from these statements. The statements distinguish between those activities of the ROE that are governmental in nature and those that are considered business-type activities. Governmental activities normally are supported by operating grants and contributions, charges for services and intergovernmental revenues. Business-type activities normally are supported by operating revenues which include amounts assessed or received from local sources for the ROE programs. The Statement of Net Assets presents the ROE’s nonfiduciary assets and liabilities with the differences reported as net assets. Net assets of the ROE are classified as follows: Invested in Capital Assets - represent the ROE’s total investment in capital assets less related depreciation. There is no outstanding debt related to these assets at this time. Restricted Net Assets - represent net resources in which the ROE is legally obligated to spend in accordance with restrictions imposed by (1) external groups such as grantors or contributors; or (2) laws through constitutional provisions or enabling legislation. Unrestricted Net Assets - represent remaining net resources not classified as Restricted Net Assets or Invested in Capital Assets and are used for transactions relating to the general operations of the ROE at the discretion of management. LASALLE COUNTY REGIONAL OFFICE OF EDUCATION NO. 35 NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS JUNE 30, 2011 29 NOTE 1 - SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (continued) The Statement of Activities demonstrates the degree to which the direct expenses of a given function or segment are offset by program revenues. Direct expenses are those that are clearly identifiable with a specific function or segment. Program revenues include 1) charges to customers or applicants who purchase, use or directly benefit from goods, services, or privileges provided by a given function or segment and 2) grants and contributions that are restricted to meeting the operational or capital requirements of a particular function or segment. Other items not properly included among program revenues are reported instead as general revenues. Major individual funds are reported as separate columns in the fund financial statements. C. New Accounting Pronouncement Effective July 1, 2010, the ROE adopted the following accounting pronouncements: Governmental Accounting Standards Board (GASB) Statement No. 54, Fund Balance Reporting and Governmental Fund Type Definitions GASB Statement No. 59, Financial Instruments Omnibus GASB Statement No. 62, Codification of Accounting and Financial Reporting Guidance Contained in Pre-November 30, 1989 FASB and AICPA Pronouncements GASB Statements No. 59 and 62 had no impact on the ROE’s financial statements. The adoption of GASB Statement No. 54 required the ROE to re-evaluate and reclassify the accounts comprising the funds based on the provisions of the statement. The statement changed fund balance reporting for governmental funds by adding and modifying fund balance classifications, and providing additional disclosures on how fund balance constraints are imposed and may be modified or eliminated. A prior period adjustment has been reported for the net assets that were reclassified. See Note 12 for the details. On July 1, 2011, the ROE will adopt GASB Statement No. 64. This pronouncement will have no impact on the ROE. D. Measurement Focus, Basis of Accounting, and Financial Statement Presentation The financial statements of the ROE are prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP). The ROE applies all applicable GASB pronouncements. The government-wide, the proprietary fund, and the 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 when a liability is incurred, regardless of the timing of related cash flows. Grants and similar items are recognized as revenue as soon as all eligibility requirements imposed by provider have been met. LASALLE COUNTY REGIONAL OFFICE OF EDUCATION NO. 35 NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS JUNE 30, 2011 30 NOTE 1 - SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (continued) Governmental fund financial statements are reported using the current financial resources measurement focus and the modified accrual basis of accounting. Revenues are recognized when they are both measurable and available. “Measurable” means the amount of the transaction can be determined and “available” means collectible within the current period or soon enough thereafter to be used to pay liabilities of the current period. The ROE considers revenues as available if they are collected within 60 days after year-end. Expenditures are generally recorded when a liability is incurred, as under accrual accounting. In applying the susceptible to accrual concept to intergovernmental revenues, the legal and contractual requirements of the numerous individual programs are used as guidance. There are essentially two types of these revenues. In one, monies must be expended before any amounts will be reimbursed; therefore, revenues are recognized based upon the expenditures recorded. In the other, monies are usually revocable only for failure to comply with prescribed compliance requirements. These resources are reflected as revenues at the time that all eligibility requirements imposed by the provider have been met unless the resources are not measurable or available as described above. When restricted, committed, assigned and unassigned resources are available for use, it is the ROE’s policy to use restricted resources first, then committed, assigned and finally unassigned resources as they are needed. The ROE records on-behalf payments made by the State and LaSalle County for salary, benefits and contributions to the Teachers’ Retirement System or the Illinois Municipal Retirement Fund as revenues and expenditures. E. Fund Accounting The accounts of the ROE are organized on the basis of funds, each of which is considered a separate accounting entity. The operations of each fund are accounted for with a separate set of self-balancing accounts that comprise its assets, liabilities, fund balance, revenue, and expenditures. The ROE maintains individual funds as required by the State of Illinois. The resources are allocated to and accounted for in individual funds based upon the purposes for which they are to be spent and the means by which spending activities are controlled. The various funds are summarized by type in the basic financial statements. The following summarizes the fund types used: Governmental Fund Types Governmental Funds are those through which most governmental functions of the ROE are financed. The acquisition, use and balances of the ROE’s expendable financial resources and the related liabilities are accounted for through governmental funds. General Fund - The General Funds are used to account for all financial resources except those required to be accounted for in another fund. The general fund is reported as a major governmental fund in the financial statements. The following are the general funds: LASALLE COUNTY REGIONAL OFFICE OF EDUCATION NO. 35 NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS JUNE 30, 2011 31 NOTE 1 - SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (continued) General - to account for the general operating fund.

LASALLE COUNTY REGIONAL OFFICE OF EDUCATION NO. 35 NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS JUNE 30, 2011 34 NOTE 1 - SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (continued) Proprietary Fund Types Proprietary funds are used to account for a government’s ongoing organizations and activities that are similar to those often found in the private sector. All assets, liabilities, net assets, revenues, expenses, and transfers relating to the government’s business activities in which changes in net assets or cost recovery are measured, are accounted for through proprietary funds (enterprise and internal service funds). Generally accepted accounting principles for proprietary funds are similar to those applicable to businesses in the private sector; the measurement focus is on determining operating income, financial position, and cash flows.

Criminal Background Investigation - to account for the assessments received from the school districts to pay for the processing of background checks of substitute teachers and expenditures incurred providing this service to the school districts. Fiduciary Fund Types Fiduciary Funds are used to account for assets held by the ROE in a trustee capacity or as an agent for individuals, private organizations, and/or other governments. Agency Funds are custodial in nature and do not involve measurement of results of operations. The amounts due to school districts and due to other governments are equal to the assets. Agency Funds include Distributive, Payroll and Marshall/Putnam/Woodford ROE No. 43’s Teacher Quality Grant. Distributive - to account for funds received and disbursed as a result of the Regional Superintendent’s responsibility to receive and distribute to treasurers of school districts and other agencies, monies due to them from general State aid, State categorical grants, and various other sources.

G. Revenues - Exchange and Non-exchange Transactions Revenue resulting from exchange transactions, in which each party gives and receives essentially equal value, is recorded on the accrual basis when the exchange takes place. On a modified accrual basis, revenue is recorded in the fiscal year in which the resources are measurable and become available. Non-exchange transactions, in which the ROE receives value without directly giving value in return, include grants and donations. On an accrual basis, revenue from grants and donations is recognized in the fiscal year in which all eligibility requirements have been satisfied. Eligibility requirements include timing requirements, which specify the year when the resources are required to be used or the fiscal year when use is first permitted; matching requirements, in which the ROE must provide local resources to be used for a specific purpose; and expenditure requirements, in which the resources are provided to the ROE on a reimbursement basis. On a modified accrual basis, revenue from non-exchange transactions must be available before it can be recognized. LASALLE COUNTY REGIONAL OFFICE OF EDUCATION NO. 35 NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS JUNE 30, 2011 37 NOTE 1 - SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (continued) H. Cash and Cash Equivalents For presentation in the financial statements, investments with an original maturity of three months or less at the time they are purchased by the ROE are considered to be cash equivalents. Investments with original maturities of more than three months are reported as investments. I. Investments The ROE’s established investment policy follows the State of Illinois Public Funds Investment Act which authorizes the ROE to purchase certain obligations of the U.S. Treasury, Federal agencies and instrumentalities; certificates of deposit and time deposits covered by Federal depository insurance; commercial paper of U.S. corporations with assets exceeding $500,000,000, if such paper is rated at the highest classification established by at least two standard rating services; money market funds and the Illinois Funds. J. Capital Assets General capital assets result from expenditures in the governmental funds. These assets are reported in the governmental activities column of the government-wide Statement of Net Assets but are not reported in the fund financial statements. Capital assets are recorded at cost at time of acquisition or fair value at the date of donation. The ROE capitalizes items costing $5,000 or more and intangible assets costing $25,000 or more. Depreciation is calculated on a straight-line basis over the estimated useful lives (five to twenty years) of the respective assets. K. Estimates The preparation of financial statements in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect certain reported amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. Actual results could differ from those estimates. L. Budgets and Budgetary Accounting The ROE did not formally adopt a budget for the year ended June 30, 2011 and is not legally required to do so. The Illinois State Board of Education requires budgets for certain State and Federal programs. These budgets were used to prepare Budgetary Comparison Schedules for the following accounts within the Education Fund: McKinney Education for Homeless Children, Regional Safe Schools, Truants Alternative Programs, ROE/ISC Operations, Learning Technology Center, Beginning Teachers Induction Pilot Program, Reading First, Gifted #35 and Gifted #43, and ARRA – Title I School Improvement. LASALLE COUNTY REGIONAL OFFICE OF EDUCATION NO. 35 NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS JUNE 30, 2011 38 NOTE 2 - DEPOSITS AND INVESTMENTS In the accompanying financial statements, certificates of deposit are reported as investments because the original maturities of the certificates exceed 90 days. For risk disclosure purposes, those certificates are deposits. The money market accounts described below are reported as cash equivalents in the accompanying financial statements. For risk disclosure purposes, the money market accounts are investments. Deposits The ROE utilizes several different bank accounts for its various activities. The book balance of such accounts is $843,154 at June 30, 2011, while the bank balance was $928,454. The difference between the above amounts primarily represents checks that have been issued but have not yet cleared the bank as of June 30, 2011. Of the total bank balance as of June 30, 2011, $524,617 was insured by Federal depository insurance, $384,142 was collateralized by securities pledged by the ROE’s financial institution that were held by the financial institution’s agent but not in the name of the ROE, and $19,695 was uncollateralized. Investments As of June 30, 2011, the ROE had investments with carrying and fair values as follows: Investment Type Carrying Amount Fair Value Illinois Funds Money Market $ 21,761 $ 21,761 Illinois Funds Money Market 5 5 $ 21,766 $ 21,766 Credit Risk At June 30, 2011, the Illinois Funds Money Market Fund had a Standard and Poor’s AAAm rating. The pool is audited annually by an outside independent auditor and copies of the report are distributed to participants. Although not subject to direct regulatory oversight, the fund is administered by the Illinois State Treasurer in accordance with the provisions of the Illinois Public Funds Investments Act, 30 ILCS 235. Interest Rate Risk The Illinois Funds Money Market Fund, created by the Illinois General Assembly, enables custodians of public funds an investment option with a competitive rate of return on investments and while maintaining immediate access to the funds. The investment policy of the Illinois Funds Money Market Funds states that a minimum of 75% of its investments shall have less than one-year maturity and no investment shall exceed two years maturity.

Each of these interfund loans were repaid by the end of September 2011. NOTE 6 - RETIREMENT PLANS The ROE’s employees are covered under the Illinois Municipal Retirement Fund. Contributions to the Fund are made by the ROE through grant monies on behalf of the ROE staff employees and grant coordinators. Employees paid by LaSalle County also participate in the Illinois Municipal Retirement Fund and those contributions are paid by LaSalle County. Participation is required for all ROE employees who: a. Occupy a job normally requiring 1,000 hours or more per year or 600 hours or more per year for employees who worked for any IMRF employer prior to January 1, 1982; b. Are paid on a regular payroll from County or ROE funds; c. Were under age sixty when first entering employment; and d. Are not covered by another State created retirement system for the same service. Employees not qualifying above are considered as “nonparticipating employees” and are covered under Social Security. The Regional Superintendent and Assistant Regional Superintendent of the ROE are paid by the State of Illinois and participate in the Teachers Retirement System. LASALLE COUNTY REGIONAL OFFICE OF EDUCATION NO. 35 NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS JUNE 30, 2011 41 NOTE 6 - RETIREMENT PLANS (continued) Illinois Municipal Retirement Fund Plan Description The ROE’s defined benefit pension plan for regular employees provides retirement and disability benefits, post retirement increases, and death benefits to plan members and beneficiaries. The ROE’s plan is affiliated with the Illinois Municipal Retirement Fund (IMRF), an agent multiple-employer plan. Benefit provisions are established by statute and may only be changed by the General Assembly of the State of Illinois. IMRF issues a publicly available financial report that includes financial statements and required supplementary information. The report may be obtained on-line at www.imrf.org. Funding Policy As set by statute, the ROE’s Regular plan members are required to contribute 4.50% of their annual covered salary. The statutes require employers to contribute the amount necessary, in addition to member contributions, to finance the retirement coverage of its own employees. The employer contribution rate for calendar year 2010 was 11.75%. The ROE also contributes for disability benefits, death benefits and supplemental retirement benefits, all of which are pooled at the IMRF level. Contribution rates for disability and death benefits are set by the IMRF Board of Trustees, while the supplemental retirement benefits rate is set by statute. Annual Pension Cost The required contribution for calendar year 2010 was $40,831 THREE - YEAR TREND INFORMATION Calendar Year Ending Annual Pension Cost (APC) Percentage of APC Contributed Net Pension Obligation 12/31/10 $ 40,831 100% $ - 12/31/09 27,896 100% - 12/31/08 27,054 100% - The required contribution for 2010 was determined as part of the December 31, 2008 actuarial valuation using the entry age normal actuarial cost method. The actuarial assumptions at December 31, 2008 included (a) 7.50% investment rate of return (net of administrative and direct investment expenses), (b) projected salary increases of 4.00% a year, attributable to inflation, (c) additional projected salary increases ranging from 0.4% to 10% per year depending on age and service, attributable to seniority/merit, and (d) post retirement benefit increases of 3% annually. The actuarial value of the ROE’s Regular plan assets was determined using techniques that spread the effects of short-term volatility in the market value of investments over a five-year period with a 20% corridor between the actuarial and market value of assets. The ROE’s Regular plan’s unfunded actuarial accrued liability at December 31, 2008 is being amortized as a level percentage of projected payroll on an open 10 year basis. LASALLE COUNTY REGIONAL OFFICE OF EDUCATION NO. 35 NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS JUNE 30, 2011 42 NOTE 6 - RETIREMENT PLANS (continued) Funded Status and Funding Progress As of December 31, 2010, the most recent actuarial valuation date, the regular plan was 89.93 percent funded. The actuarial accrued liability for benefits was $756,519 and the actuarial value of assets was $680,371, resulting in an underfunded actuarial accrued liability (UAAL) of $76,148. The covered payroll for the calendar year 2010 (annual payroll of active employees covered by the plan) was $347,496 and the ratio of the UAAL to the covered payroll was 22 percent. The schedule of funding progress, presented as RSI following the notes to the financial statements, presents multiyear trend information about whether the actuarial value of plan assets is increasing or decreasing over time relative to the actuarial accrued liability for benefits. Teachers’ Retirement System of the State of Illinois The ROE participates in the Teachers’ Retirement System of the State of Illinois (TRS). TRS is a cost-sharing multiple-employer defined benefit pension plan that was created by Illinois legislature for the benefit of Illinois public school teachers employed outside the city of Chicago. The Illinois Pension Code outlines the benefit provisions of TRS, and amendments to the plan can be made only by legislative action with the Governor’s approval. The State of Illinois maintains the primary responsibility for funding the plan, but contributions from participating employers and members are also required. The TRS Board of Trustees is responsible for the system’s administration. TRS members include all active nonannuitants who are employed by a TRS-covered employer to provide services for which teacher certification is required. The active member contribution rate for the year ended June 30, 2011, was 9.4 percent of creditable earnings. The same contribution rate applies to members whose first contributing service is on or after Jan. 1, 2011, the effective date of the benefit changes contained in Public Act 96-0889. These contributions, which may be paid on behalf of employees by the employer, are submitted to TRS by the employer. The active member contribution rate was also 9.4 percent for the years ended June 30, 2010 and 2009. The state of Illinois makes contributions directly to TRS on behalf of the ROE’s TRS-covered employees. LASALLE COUNTY REGIONAL OFFICE OF EDUCATION NO. 35 NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS JUNE 30, 2011 43 NOTE 6 - RETIREMENT PLANS (continued) On-behalf Contributions to TRS. The State of Illinois makes employer pension contributions on behalf of the ROE. For the year ended June 30, 2011, the State of Illinois contributions were based on 23.10 percent of creditable earnings not paid from federal funds, and the ROE recognized revenue and expenditures of $53,666 in pension contributions that the State of Illinois paid directly to TRS. For the years ended June 30, 2010 and June 30, 2009, the State of Illinois contribution rates as percentages of creditable earnings not paid from federal funds were 23.38 percent ($59,524) and 17.08 percent ($38,154) respectively. The ROE makes other types of employer contributions directly to TRS. 2.2 Formula Contributions. Employers contribute 0.58 percent of total creditable earnings for the 2.2 formula change. This rate is specified by statute. Contributions for the year ended June 30, 2011 were $1,439 . Contributions for the years ended June 30, 2010, and June 30, 2009, were $1,500 and $1,296, respectively. Federal and Special Trust Fund Contributions. When TRS members are paid from federal and special trust funds administered by the ROE, there is a statutory requirement for the ROE to pay an employer pension contribution from those funds. Under a policy adopted by the TRS Board of Trustees that was first effective in the fiscal year ended June 30, 2006, employer contributions for employees paid from federal and special trust funds will be the same as the state contribution rate to TRS. For the year ended June 30, 2011, the employer pension contribution was 23.10 percent of salaries paid from federal and special trust funds. For the year ended June 30, 2010 and 2009, the employer contribution was 23.38 and 17.08 percent of salaries paid from federal and special trust funds, respectively. For the year ended June 30, 2011, salaries totaling $15,757 were paid from federal and special trust funds that required employer contributions of $3,640. For the years ended June 30, 2010 and June 30, 2009, required ROE contributions were $952 and $1,549, respectively. Early Retirement Option (ERO). The ROE is also required to make one-time employer contributions to TRS for members retiring under the Early Retirement Option (ERO). The payments vary depending on the age and salary of the member. The maximum employer ERO contribution is 117.5 percent and applies when the member is age 55 at retirement. For the year ended June 30, 2011, the ROE paid $0 to TRS for employer contributions under the ERO programs. For the years ended June 30, 2010 and 2009, the ROE paid $0 in employer ERO contributions. LASALLE COUNTY REGIONAL OFFICE OF EDUCATION NO. 35 NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS JUNE 30, 2011 44 NOTE 6 - RETIREMENT PLANS (continued) Salary Increases Over 6 Percent and Excess Sick Leave. If an employer grants salary increases over 6 percent and those salaries are used to calculate a retiree’s final average salary, the employer makes a contribution to TRS. The contribution will cover the difference in actuarial cost of the benefit based on actual salary increases and the benefit based on salary increases of up to 6 percent. For the year ended June 30, 2011, the ROE paid $0 to TRS for employer contributions due on salary increases in excess of 6 percent. For the years ended June 30, 2010 and June 30, 2009, the ROE did not have any payments to TRS for employer contributions due on salary increases in excess of 6 percent. If an employer grants sick leave days in excess of the normal annual allotment and those days are used as TRS service credit, the employer makes a contribution to TRS. The contribution is based on the number of excess sick leave days used as service credit, the highest salary used to calculate final average salary, and the TRS total normal cost rate (18.03 percent of salary during the year ended June 30, 2011 as recertified pursuant to Public Act 96-1511). For the year ended June 30, 2011, the ROE paid $0 to TRS for sick leave days granted in excess of the normal annual allotment. For the years ended June 30, 2010 and June 30, 2009, the ROE did not have any payments to TRS for sick leave days granted in excess of the normal annual allotment. TRS financial information, an explanation of TRS’ benefits, and descriptions of member, employer and State funding requirements can be found in the TRS Comprehensive Annual Financial Report for the year ended June 30, 2010. The report for the year ended June 30, 2011 is expected to be available in late 2011. The reports may be obtained by writing to the Teachers’ Retirement System of the State of Illinois, 2815 West Washington Street, Springfield, IL 62794-9253. The most current report is also available on the TRS web site at trs.illinois.gov. LASALLE COUNTY REGIONAL OFFICE OF EDUCATION NO. 35 NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS JUNE 30, 2011 45 NOTE 7 - OTHER POSTEMPLOYMENT BENEFITS Plan Description In addition to providing the pension benefits described, the Roe provides postemployment health care benefits (OPEB) for retired employees through a single employer defined benefit plan. The benefits, benefit levels, employee contributions and employer contributions are governed by the ROE and can be amended by the ROE through its personnel manual, except for the implicit subsidy which is governed by the State Legislature and Illinois Compiled Statutes. The plan is not accounted for as a trust fund, as an irrevocable trust has not been established to account for the plan. The plan does not issue a separate report. The activity of the plan is reported in the ROE governmental funds. Benefits Provided The ROE provides continued health insurance coverage at the blended employer rate to all eligible retirees in accordance with the Illinois Compiled Statutes, which creates an implicit subsidy of retiree health insurance. To be eligible for benefits, an employee must qualify for retirement under the ROE retirement plan. Upon a retiree reaching age 65 years of age, Medicare becomes the primary insurer and the retiree is no longer eligible to participate in the plan, but can purchase a Medicare supplement plan from the ROE’s insurance provider. Membership At July 1, 2010 membership consisted of: Retirees and Beneficiaries Currently Receiving Benefits - Terminated Employees Entitled to Benefits but not yet Receiving Them - Active Employees 2 TOTAL 2 Participating Employers 1 Funding Policy The ROE is not required to and currently does not advance fund the cost of benefits that will become due and payable in the future. Active employees do not contribute to the plan until retirement. Retirees are responsible for paying their own premiums. LASALLE COUNTY REGIONAL OFFICE OF EDUCATION NO. 35 NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS JUNE 30, 2011 46 NOTE 7 - OTHER POSTEMPLOYMENT BENEFITS (continued) Annual OPEB Costs and Net OPEB Obligation The ROE first had an actuarial valuation performed for the plan as of July 1, 2009 to determine the funded status of the plan as of that date as well as the employer’s annual required contribution (ARC) for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2010. The ROE’s annual OPEB cost (expense) $1,077 is $1 more than the ARC for the fiscal year. The ROE’s annual OPEB cost, the percentage of annual OPEB cost contributed to the plan and the net OPEB obligation for fiscal year 2011 were as follows (information for the year ending June 30, 2009 is not available as an actuarial valuation was performed for the first time as of July 1, 2009): Fiscal Year Ended Annual OPEB Cost Employer Contributions Percentage of Annual OPEB Cost Contributed Net OPEB Obligation June 30, 2011 $ 1,077 $ 71 7% $ 1,990 June 30, 2010 $ 1,008 $ 24 2% $ 984 The net OPEB obligation as of July 1, 2010, was calculated as follows: Annual Required Contribution $ 1,076 Interest on Net OPEB Obligation 39 Adjustment to Annual Required Contribution (38) Annual OPEB Cost 1,077 Contributions Made 71 Increase in Net OPEB Obligation 1,006 Net OPEB Obligation Beginning of Year 984 Net OPEB Obligation at End of Year $ 1,990 Funded Status and Funding Progress. The funded status of the plan as of July 1, 2010 was as follows: Actuarial Accrued Liability (AAL) $ 8,976 Actuarial Value of Plan Assets - Unfunded Actuarial Accrued Liability (UAAL) 8,976 Funded Ratio (Actuarial Value of Plan Assets/AAL) 0.0% Covered Payroll (Active Plan Members) $ 97,676 UAAL as a Percentage of Covered Payroll 9.2% LASALLE COUNTY REGIONAL OFFICE OF EDUCATION NO. 35 NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS JUNE 30, 2011 47 NOTE 7 - OTHER POSTEMPLOYMENT BENEFITS (continued) 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 the healthcare cost trend. 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. The schedule of funding progress, presented as required supplementary information following the notes to the financial statements, presents multi-year trend information that shows whether the actuarial value of the plan assets is increasing or decreasing over time relative to the actuarial accrued liabilities for benefits. Actuarial Methods and Assumptions - Projections of benefits for financial reporting purposes are based on the substantive plan (the plan as understood by the employer and 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 short-term volatility in actuarial accrued liabilities and the actuarial value of assets, consistent with the long-term perspective of the calculations. In the July 1, 2009, actuarial valuation, the unit credit cost method was used. The actuarial assumptions included a discount rate of 4.00% and an initial healthcare cost trend rate of 11.00% with a ultimate healthcare inflation rate of 5.00% increase for 2019 and later years. Both rates include a 3.00% inflation assumption. The actuarial value of assets was not determined as the ROE has not advance funded its obligation. The plan’s unfunded actuarial accrued liability is being amortized using a closed, level dollar method. The remaining amortization period at July 1, 2009 was 30 years. Teacher Health Insurance Security Fund The ROE also participates in the Teacher Health Insurance Security (THIS) Fund, a cost-sharing, multiple-employer defined benefit postemployment healthcare plan that was established by the Illinois legislature for the benefit of Illinois public school teachers employed outside the city of Chicago.
