Why it Matters: The debt service coverage ratio asks the question how susceptible is a district to not having the ability to pay off their debt. Debt service is the amount of principal and interest that a district must pay each year on long-term debt, plus the interest it must pay on direct short-term debt. As debt service increases, it adds to a district's obligations and reduces its expenditure flexibility. This metric is calculated by dividing the reported debt service by the district's revenue for the General, Special Revenue and Debt Service Funds. Care must be used in evaluating this indicator. A high debt service ratio may indicate a district that has taken on too much debt but it may also indicate that the district has taken an aggressive approach to debt repayment and is paying down their debt quickly. Similarly, a low debt service ratio could indicate a district is strong financially and can finance most capital projects through their operating budget. It may also indicate that a district is financially weaker and has deferred capital projects and allowed important infrastructure to deteriorate. (n085) (o151)
