Audits for the 245 school sites with internal accounts were conducted during the 2013-2014 school year.  In the opinion of the District Auditing Office, financial and operational management of the School Activity Funds is satisfactory and generally in compliance with statutes, regulations, and School Board policies, with specific exceptions noted.  Summary of results:

• Exemplary audits         134 school sites or 55%
• Satisfactory audits       108 school sites or 44%
• Unsatisfactory audits       3 school sites or   1%

Please note: Since last year, nineteen additional schools achieved an exemplary rating while the number of unsatisfactory schools decreased by one.  Twenty-nine school sites have received an exemplary rating for more than five consecutive years.  School sites with unsatisfactory ratings submitted a corrective action plan to their Area Leadership Director.  The majority of unsatisfactory ratings were related to new or inexperienced personnel.   To assist them, increased training, peer mentoring, Area Leadership Director involvement, and a review of personnel assignments were implemented.
