School Districts

District did not comply with State conflict-of-interest and open meeting law requirements, limiting transparency; did not appropriately handle cash and calculate payroll; provided food and beverages at District events without prior Board approval; and allowed too much access to its IT network and accounting system, increasing the risk of fraud and abuse

District failed to maintain transportation records, limiting the scope of our review; spent nearly $500,000 on travel, including a substantial amount of travel that was unnecessary and potentially wasteful; limited public access to some Board meetings; operated schools below capacity; and failed to comply with requirements to protect students and safeguard public monies and sensitive computerized data
