Audits for the 246 school sites with internal accounts were conducted during the 2014-2015 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.
