The proceeds of the lease were used as follows: $550,867 of capital improvements to Meramec Elementary with $68,858 of related accumulated amortization $4,514,133 of capital contributions to the joint venture, Clayton Recreation, Sports and Wellness Commission. See Note K for more information on the joint venture. Since this represents a capital contribution, there is not an asset or related accumulated depreciation. The District is only obligated to pay such payments under the lease as may lawfully be made from funds budgeted and appropriated for that purpose. Should the District fail to budget, appropriate or otherwise make available funds sufficient to pay the payments, the lease would be deemed terminated at the end of the current term and the collateral would transfer to the possession of the lessor. Meramec Elementary School is pledged as collateral. The District has the option to purchase the lessor's interest in the project through prepayment. If the prepayment is paid with internally generated funds (i.e. not in connection with refinancing or grant), there would be no prepayment premium. Otherwise, the prepayment premium would be 3% of the remaining principal portion if on or before the first anniversary of the commencement date; 2% of the remaining principal portion if after the first anniversary but on or before the second anniversary of the commencement date; 1% of the remaining principal portion if after the second anniversary of the commencement date. - 44 -

NOTE G – RETIREMENT PLANS The District contributes to the Public School Retirement System of Missouri and the Public Education Retirement System of Missouri (PSRS and PEERS respectively, also referred to as the Systems), a cost-sharing multiple-employer defined benefit pension plan. - 45 - SCHOOL DISTRICT OF CLAYTON NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS June 30, 2023 NOTE G – RETIREMENT PLANS - CONTINUED Plan Description PSRS is a mandatory cost-sharing multiple-employer retirement system for all full-time certificated employees and certain part-time certificated employees of all public school districts in Missouri (except the school districts of St. Louis and Kansas City) and all public community colleges. PSRS also includes certificated employees of the Systems, Missouri State Teachers' Association, Missouri State High School Activities Association, and certain employees of the State of Missouri who elected to remain covered by PSRS under legislation enacted in 1986, 1987 and 1989. The majority of PSRS members are exempt from Social Security contributions. In some instances, positions may be determined not to be exempt from Social Security contributions. Any PSRS member who is required to contribute to Social Security comes under the requirements of Section 169.070 (9) RSMo, known as the "two-third’s statute." PSRS members required to contribute to Social Security are required to contribute two-thirds of the approved PSRS contribution rate and their employer is required to match the contribution. The members' benefits are further calculated at two-thirds the normal benefit amount. PEERS is a mandatory cost-sharing multiple employer retirement system for all non-certificated public school district employees (except the school districts of St. Louis and Kansas City), employees of the Missouri Association of School Administrators, and community college employees (except the Community College of St. Louis). Employees of covered districts who work 20 or more hours per week on a regular basis and who are not contributing members of PSRS must contribute to PEERS. Employees of the Systems who do not hold Missouri educator certificates also contribute to PEERS. PEERS was established as a trust fund by an Act of the Missouri General Assembly effective October 13, 1965. Statutes governing the System are found in Sections 169.600 - 169.715 and Sections 169.560-169.595 RSMo. The statutes place responsibility for the operation of PEERS on the Board of Trustees of PSRS. - 46 -
