Audit: Lincoln Prep fell short of debt requirements
(The Center Square) – Lincoln Preparatory School fell short of financial requirements tied to its debt and had $257,546 in unpaid bus lease obligations, according to a Louisiana Legislative Auditor report dated Aug. 6. The Grambling High Foundation, which operates Lincoln Preparatory School, failed to meet two financial covenants required under its bond agreement, auditors found. The school had 23 days of cash on hand, below the required 45 days, and a debt-service coverage ratio of 0.92, below the required 1.00. Failure to meet the covenants could result in accelerated repayment, penalties, additional financial restrictions or other adverse financial consequences, according to the audit. Management told auditors it was working with the bond trustee or lender to obtain waivers for the covenant violations. For the fiscal year, Lincoln Prep reported approximately $12.35 million in revenue and $14.04 million in expenses, resulting in a $1.69 million decrease in net assets. Auditors identified several other financial and internal-control deficiencies. Lincoln Prep had an active lease for 19 buses, although its records showed only 14 buses in service. The school also had $257,546 in unpaid or late bus lease payments at the end of the fiscal year. Management reached an agreement with the
