Debt Information Summary

Long-term debt consists of bonds payable, capital leases payable, claims payable, net pension liability, net OPEB liability, and a provision for compensated absence. Bonds are payable solely from future revenues of the Debt Service Fund. The District is in compliance with all significant bond compliance requirements. Internal Service Funds serve the governmental funds. Accordingly, long-term liabilities for them are included as part of the totals for governmental activities. See Note 13 for disclosures regarding claims payable for Health Insurance and Workers' Compensation. Other long-term liabilities are generally liquidated with resources of the General Fund. See Note 14 for additional disclosures regarding compensated absences, Note 11 for defined benefit pension plan, and Note 12 for defined other post-employment benefit plan.
