  In fiscal year 2004,
  Regional Offices of Education implemented Government Accounting Standards
  Board (GASB) Statement No. 34 which established a new financial reporting
  model for state and local governments. 
  Government-wide financial statements are prepared using full accrual
  accounting that reports Total Net Assets. 
  The fiscal year 2003 ending general fixed assets have been restated to
  reflect the changes required as part of the implementation of GASB Statement
  No. 34.                Percentages may not add due to rounding.  |
