The Governing Board accepted the audited financial statements for the District and Measure R for the 2022-23 fiscal year. Education Code 41020.3 requires that each school district Governing Board shall review, at a public meeting, the annual audit of the local educational agency for the prior year. The 2022–23 fiscal year Audit was delayed due to staff turnover.
The purpose of an external audit is to provide an objective independent examination of the District's financial statements and to issue a formal report. The report includes aspects of the district's financial statements and whether they are presented accurately and fairly, in all material respects, in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. All District Funds are included in the audited financial statements. Additionally, Financial and Performance Audits are completed for the Measure R General Obligation Bond.
